The High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA), which is tasked with advising on, planning, developing and overseeing the construction and operation of a transformational network along Australia’s east coast, delivered the Newcastle to Sydney High Speed Rail Business Case in 2024.

Client requirements

VLC have supported the Business Case with demand modelling for the EY-led Economics, Funding and Financing, and Demand Modelling work package.
