2 THE SOLUTION THE INLAND RAIL PROGRAMME Melbourne to Brisbane

3 ABOUT ARTC One of Australia s largest rail network owners, operating and managing more than 8,500 kilometres of rail track Established in 1998 to facilitate a one stop shop national standard gauge network Committed to providing seamless and efficient access for our customers 3 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

4 COMPANY STRUCTURE SHAREHOLDER (COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA 100%) ARTC Total FY14 revenue : $773 million/more than 1195 staff HUNTER VALLEY Provision of network services to support coal delivery and other commodities on the Hunter Valley rail network 1,647 route kilometres Access revenue $430m INTERSTATE Provision of network services to support general freight delivery and other commodities on the interstate rail network 6,954 route kilometres Access revenue $286m 4 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

5 BUSINESS NETWORK PRIMARILY SUPPORTING GENERAL FREIGHT TRANSPORT Interstate Network East West: Increase rail volume above economic growth Interstate Network North South: Increase rail volumes through significant growth in rail s share of freight transport market PRIMARILY SUPPORTING COAL TRANSPORT Hunter Valley: Increase capacity to meet port allocations & domestic coal requirements 5 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

6 THE 2010 INLAND RAIL ALIGNMENT STUDY The 2010 Inland Rail Alignment Study considered more than 50,000 alternatives in identifying the optimum Melbourne Brisbane route Extensive consultation with train operators and end customers and modelling of freight demand Optimum alignment considered against: - Performance requirements - Demand analysis - Standards 6 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

7 THE INLAND RAIL PROGRAMME Inland Rail is the Australian Government s priority rail freight project for the coming decade A new 1700km freight rail connection from Melbourne to Brisbane via regional NSW and QLD. It will provide a rail option that is competitive with road on transit time, reliability and cost (<24 hours Melbourne to Brisbane) This will complete the backbone of Australia s freight rail network, linking the QLD, NSW, VIC, SA and WA economies 7 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

9 FUTURE PROOFING INLAND RAIL PROGRAMME Game-changing 21 st Century infrastructure

10 FUTURE PROOFING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Train length 1800m with future proofing for 3600m Axle Load / Max Speed km/h; 25 80km/h and future proofing for 30 80km/h Double stacking - 7.2m clearances for double stack operation in well wagons Structures future-proofed to 30 TAL Full interoperability over the interstate mainline standard gauge network Standard gauge with dual gauge in some QLD and VIC sections 10 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

11 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS CONTINUED Formation on all new track suitable for 30 TAL Sleeper spacing 600mm on new track and re-sleepering on existing Rail 60kg/m on new or upgraded track Concrete sleepers 30 tonne axle load Maximum grade 1:100 target; 1:200 max at arrival or departure points at loops Crossing loops 1800m clearance point to clearance point plus signalling overlap design 3600 and passing lane potential Turnouts Tangential, rated at track speed on the straight and 80km/h entry/exist on the diverging track. 11 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

12 ADVANCED TRAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ATMS) INNOVATION IN ACTION ATMS will be the train management system for Inland Rail It is a smart train management system which will dramatically increase safety, reliability and capacity of national rail freight network. Employs on-train GPS navigation systems, broadband communications networks & sophisticated computer technology to locate & route trains in real time. Reduces costs associated with trackside infrastructure maintenance and leverages existing track infrastructure to achieve additional capacity and efficiencies. The technology has been proven. With Government investment ARTC is now bringing this technology from the lab & getting it on track in partnership with technology provider Lockheed Martin. Implementation Stage 1 for ATMS is being rolled out between Port Augusta and Whyalla. Will also prepare section of track between Tarcoola and Kalgoorlie. Aim of first Implementation Stage is to safely test and commission the technology for revenue service in an ongoing, operational, live-run situation. 12 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

13 CURRENT WORK 2014 PROGRAMME OVERVIEW Bringing Inland Rail to life

14 INLAND RAIL 2014 The Minister for Infrastructure and Deputy Prime Minister has charged ARTC with developing a 10 year delivery plan for Inland Rail. $300M has been committed to fund: The establishment of the project team The development of the 10 year programme The progression of design work and the gaining of the required approvals The commencement of early works and land acquisition (where required) Investigate and recommend the most appropriate route for a dedicated freight rail connection to the Port of Brisbane. Australian Government Deputy PM North Star to Brisbane Inland Rail Implementation Group (IR-IG) John Anderson ARTC Programme Delivery Team Upgrade Projects Greenfield Projects 14 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

15 REFINING THE ALIGNMENT The Australian, QLD, NSW and VIC Governments, through the IR-IG, have endorsed the 2010 alignment as the blueprint for the Inland Rail programme. ARTC is now refining the 2010 alignment to meet planning, environmental and technical requirements. We are also consulting with stakeholders on the alignment to deliver refinements that give the best outcome for rail users, the community and the environment at a realistic price. This will deliver a shovel-ready project, with construction to start during Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

16 PRIORITY PROJECTS Three priority projects are being assessed to facilitate commencement of construction. These three projects add value to existing operations while setting the platform for the overall programme. The projects are: Parkes to Narromine upgrade 2. Narrabri to North Star upgrade 3. Rosewood to Kagaru greenfield link. 1 The project team has also identified that Gowrie to Rosewood (including the Toowoomba Range tunnel) is critical to the overall programme. We have started detailed investigations of this element. 16 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014

17 MILESTONES The Inland Rail Implementation Group (IR-IG) has set the following timeline for the remainder of 2014: Milestone 1 July completed Establish the project team and develop the strategy and management plan for the programme. Preliminary update of costings. Milestone 2 September 2014 Begin working through the stakeholder and environmental assessment requirements, develop a recommended approach to approvals and land acquisition. Milestone 3 December 2014 Deliver updated cost estimates and 10-year delivery and construction plan Commence environmental assessments, detailed engineering & geotechnical investigations in consultation with stakeholders. 17 Inland Rail Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions 2014
