A BIG & CLEVER IDEA: AUSTRALIA’S HIGH SPEED RAIL

Tim Parker has massive experience of successfully managing big urban infrastructure and development projects.

In this episode, he shines a light on his unique insights from an impressive CV and speaks with both passion and clarity about leading his latest large-scale project: the Federal Government’s initiative to build high speed rail initially between Newcastle and Sydney on Australia’s east cost, with the ambition to build further on this link in future.

This is a massive transport undertaking, promoting a low-carbon transition from car and air over to rail, and economic and housing development and community opportunity – a project of national, and we think international, significance of interest to listeners from a wide range of professional and policy backgrounds and countries.

Big ambitions for a big country: seems about right to us.
