In 2017 the Australian Government released the Faster Rail Prospectus – a commitment to exploring the opportunities for faster passenger rail links between our major cities and our regions.
The CLARA consortium responded to the prospectus with a proposal to develop a number of new cities between Melbourne and Sydney, connected to each other and our major capital cities by High Speed Rail.
The Australian Government selected the CLARA proposal and co-funded this Strategic Business Case for the Melbourne to Greater Shepparton stage of the CLARA Plan.
The CLARA Consortium prepared the Melbourne to Greater Shepparton Faster Rail Strategic Business Case.
