Agriculture and rail
• The agricultural sector represents around 15% of the nations GDP
• Transport is a critical component and
rail can play a much larger role • The ARA is working with the NFF and
others to promote improvements in the supply chain (e.g containerisation)

Freight from road to rail
• Everyone says it – safe, environmental benefits, efficient
• It is happening • It requires investment in infrastructure,
processes and systems • It requires a re-think re investing in
roads • It requires the rail industry to play its
part

What do rail customers want? A Woolworths’ perspective
16
• Reliability (meet advertised availability times)
• Right balance of service, cost and risk
• customer- focused – understand customers’ needs
• Understand its impact on customers’ supply chains
• Need to be able to compete with road freight – productivity and flexibility
• Logistics – efficient terminal access and locations
• Price

Inland Rail: TRANSFORMING the transport sector • Increase rail’s reliability and efficiency
– double stacking, longer trains, – avoids Sydney bottlenecks – 2m tonnes of freight each year simply pass through – reduce travel times by 6hrs, train speeds of 110kmph
• Increase rail’s market share – 80% on Brisbane - Melbourne – up to 25% for shorter legs
• Eastern Corridor: Highest freight volume in Australia

Inland Rail: Issues
• Currently lacks a terminal strategy – A new terminal in Western Victoria – A new freight village and terminal in
Bromelton
• $2 billion cost of construction through the Toowoomba and Little Liverpool ranges (environmental, cultural and engineering reasons)

HSR – next steps?
• Currently not a policy for either major party
• Requires vision • Requires a re-think of scope and cost • Route should be defined and land
preserved • Funding options should be investigated
