WW+P brings international expertise on Technical Advisory Services for High Speed Rail Business Case
WW+P is bringing its global reputation on High Speed Rail (HSR) to a Business Case for a future network between Sydney and Newcastle, New South Wales.
We join as lead architect to Arcadis and WSP’s Joint Venture (AWJV)’s Technical Advisory, Environment & Sustainability, Community & Stakeholder Engagement Services (TAESCS) package, one of eight packages that will together deliver the Sydney to Newcastle HSR Business Case.
The Business Case is the first step towards the Australian Government’s vision for a future HSR Network connecting Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and regional communities across the east coast of Australia.
The HSR network, starting with the link between Sydney and Newcastle, is expected to better connect more regional and urban communities, unlock growth and housing affordability, boost productivity and access to services, and provide sustainable travel alternatives to reduce transport emissions and road congestion.
For the Business Case, a local team of architects from WW+P will draw on experience working on global HSR projects.
Our design for this transformative project will form a comprehensive, coordinated and practical strategy for the future delivery of high speed rail in Australia, and represents a major step towards the nation’s net zero targets for 2050.
