The project, which has been described as a heart bypass that will unclog south-east Queensland’s rail network, will create 450 apprenticeships and traineeships, as well as work for subcontractors, with 90 per cent of firms working on the underground river crossing and rail work being Queens- land-based, its builders say. The Cross River Rail Deliv- ery Authority has set up a tendering portal for businesses looking to secure work, while there are also positions avail- able with the delivery authori- ty itself and major contractors CPB and its partners.
