Following Anthony Albanese’s pledge to build a High-Speed Rail (HSR) line linking the east coast capitals if Labor won recent election, the Albanese Government committed $500 million toward a high-speed rail authority to get the project moving:
A board made up of rail and infrastructure sector experts will oversee the new authority, which will provide independent advice to governments on planning and delivery.
It will also be the lead agency to co-ordinate the project with states and territories.
