Victorian Government has launched a Registration of Interest (ROI) process for local and global companies to help deliver Melbourne’s Suburban Rail Loop. The process will help government assess which organisations have the experience and capability to be part of the biggest transport investment ever undertaken in Victoria.
The search is open to firms with a variety of capabilities including designers, engineers, rail systems providers, rail operators, rolling stock providers, investors, financiers, and architects.
The Suburban Rail Loop is a new rail network linking Melbourne’s middle suburbs, with new stations connecting major railway lines from the Frankston line to the Werribee line via Melbourne Airport.
The ROI announcement follows the commencement of an extensive stakeholder engagement process for Suburban Rail Loop, focusing on Stage One – the South East Section, between Cheltenham and Box Hill.
Currently, detailed planning is ongoing and further consultation will follow, as well as the beginning of site investigations, expected to start later this year, including ecology and geotechnical studies.
Alignment options and station locations will be considered as part of the development work and the site investigations will provide an understanding of ground conditions and environmental considerations.
