Working in more than 140 countries, more than 15,000 designers, engineers, architects, planners, consultants and technical specialists collaborate with clients on projects of the highest quality and impact. We work across every mode of rail including light rail, metros and heavy rail. Our approach combines systems-thinking, the latest digital technologies and decades of experience.

That’s why our technical expertise is always backed by sharp strategic thinking, whether we’re optimising existing assets and services, or designing whole new railways.
We are a client-centric organisation with a reputation for pioneering innovations and for fresh approaches to age-old challenges. We bring together diverse professionals from around the world, as well as local experts from railways and maintenance backgrounds. We offer a range of services across rail structures (tunnels, bridges, station boxes), rail systems (track, electrification, signalling and train control), operations modelling, depot planning, and systems engineering and assurance.
Arup established a presence in Australasia over 50 years ago when entrusted with the structural design of the Sydney Opera House. The firm opened its first office in Sydney in 1963 and has been operating in New Zealand for over 30 years. We now employ over 2,500 staff in the region working from 13 offices across Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and New Zealand.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
ATHRA is the national Tourist and Heritage (T&H) Rail industry representative body, whose Board comprises elected State representatives and co-opted specialists. It is a voluntary group whose aims are primarily to provide support to the operating T&H organisations across Australia.
The support comes through the facilitation of national working groups, each comprising expert volunteers in that field working together to develop solutions that can be shared across the sector - do it well once and share widely is our aim.
We have primary working groups developing material in the broad fields of Training & Assessment, Insurance Accreditation, Engineering codes, Boiler codes, etc. There are also smaller working groups and sometimes one or two individuals that get together to tackle specific sector issues such as carriage electrics, ticketing, GPS/speedo solutions, etc. It is all about knowledge sharing and helping one another.
ATHRA provides the sector with a formalised national Training and Assessment program for Locomotive Enginemen and Safeworking staff. The program is AQF based and approved by ONRSR as an alternative to RTO based training. We are keen to expand the program to cover other T&H RSW grades.
ATHRA also works very closely with ONRSR to provide strong two-way communication on strategic and current issues relating to rail regulation.
ATHRA also provides representative input to, and industry comment as requested by, bodies such as ONRSR, ARA, RISSB, Worksafe, State and Federal Governments and their agencies.

We are now steadily moving forward with efforts aimed at the completion of the Chuo Shinkansen between Shinagawa (Tokyo Metropolitan Area) and Nagoya in 2027, using the superconducting Maglev system, which maximum operational speed is 500km/h and realizes 285.6km travel between Shinagawa and Nagoya only in 40 minutes.
Central Japan Railway Company Sydney Office has an important role, which is to have people in Australia and New Zealand deepen their understanding of our high-speed rail system; technology, history, transit-oriented development, and so on. Besides that, we are advertising our tourist-friendly service for railway travellers in Japan, Tokaido Sanyo Shinkansen Online Reservation Service, which is seat reservation system available from Australia; SCMaglev and Railway Park, railway museum specialized in high speed rail in Japan; Various kinds of Tourist Pass.
Many exciting railway projects in Australia and New Zealand are now in full bloom, and we enjoy hearing about them. We would like to share wide scope knowledge with you and make every effort to contribute to the railway industry in the both countries.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Freightquip are Australian and New Zealand distributors for a wide range of rail equipment. Originally only catering for shunting vehicles, the portfolio has now expanded to include rail depot equipment, wash plants, workshop equipment, autonomous guided vehicles, sanding equipment, gen-set locomotives and depot protection and control systems. Providing high quality, reliable products is a pillar of our organisation, and the equipment manufacturers have been selected only if they meet the high service level standards we set.
This complementary grouping of rail products allows us to present a very complete rail depot portfolio where you can rely upon and contract with one supplier to ensure maximum performance effectiveness and customer support.
In the shunting equipment sector, our equipment manufacturing partners of Zephir and Trackmobile – two of the largest industry players – have joined forces under the Berkshire Hathaway owned Global Railcar Mover Group. The shared knowledge in manufacturing innovations and R&D between these companies has continued to exceed the already exceptionally high service capabilities to deliver these continual improvements onto the customer. As a result, the shunting equipment available in Freightquip’s portfolio is truly market leading.
We have partnered with the largest global supplier of Underfloor Wheel Lathes, Vertical Lathes and Wheelshop equipment – Danobat. Having a close and integrated relationship with the OEM has allowed us to better support the customer, through improved service capability, expedited response times and local spare parts support.
For our other workshop equipment we have a wide range of other partners to assist in providing some critical equipment requirements; jacks, lifting equipment, drop tables, bogie turntables; with the OEMs being Emanuel, INNDES and Whiting.
In the other categories such as Rail wash plants, gen-set locomotives and depot protection and control systems we have partnered with industry leaders – Air Rail, LEAF and First Class Safety & Control.

• Procuring and delivering infrastructure projects designated by the Chief Minister into MPC:
― Typically, those designated projects will have significant complexity and scale. MPC will bear budget accountability for those projects and have accountability to the relevant Minister responsible for those projects
― The first projects designated into MPC are the SPIRE Canberra Hospital project and City to Woden light rail; the CIT campus development; and the Canberra Theatre redevelopment
• Delivering other whole-of-government infrastructure projects in partnership with other Directorates
MPC’s Light Rail projects are helping the ACT Government to deliver a modern, seamless transport systems that includes a light rail network being delivered over four stages. Light rail aims to provide incentives for people to use public transport and help manage congestion caused by population growth along the project corridor and across Canberra more broadly. Integrating light rail with urban development policies will maximise the broader economic and social benefits of investing in light rail and help achieve the objectives set out in the Transport Improvement Plan (2015).
The Gungahlin to City light rail service started in April 2019, with more than one million passenger boardings in the first three months.
The second stage will build light rail to Woden in two stages - City to Commonwealth Park (Stage 2A) and Commonwealth Park to Woden (Stage 2B).
With the business case for Stage 2A endorsed, work has commenced on extending light rail to Commonwealth Park. This 1.7 km extension, due to commence operations in 2024, will see three new stops added to the network and will help move an extra 3,000 passengers daily within the first year of operations.

Continuing to puff daily (except Christmas Day) with the support of our passionate volunteers, Puffing Billy Railway invites you to ride in our open-sided carriages as you journey over the hills, down the valleys and into the lush forest on the original 24 kilometre mountain track between Belgrave and Gembrook.
Or enjoy first-class dining from the romantic age of steam train travel, right here in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges. Immerse yourself in the golden era of steam train travel on board our traditional first-class dining carriages while indulging in one of the several dining experiences filled with delicious, seasonal food and wine from the Yarra Valley region. This includes our Steam & Cuisine Luncheon, High Tea Express or Murder on the Puffing Billy Express.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Rio Tinto’s Australian operations have pioneered technologies that minimise our impact on the environment and improve safety and working conditions. In the Pilbara region of Western Australia, we own an integrated portfolio of iron ore assets: a world-class, integrated network of 16 mines, four independent port terminals, a 1,700 kilometre rail network and related infrastructure – all designed to respond rapidly to changes in demand. We are one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of iron ore.
In 2019, we launched the world’s first automated heavy-haul rail network – named AutoHaul™ – capable of moving about one million tonnes of iron ore a day. AutoHaul™ improves safety by reducing risk at level crossings and through automated responses to speed restrictions and alarms, eliminating the need to transport drivers to and from trains mid-journey, which in turn saves almost 1.5 million kilometres of road travel every year. It also improves cycle times by using information about network topography to calculate and deliver a safe, consistent driving strategy.
In Australia we directly employ over 19,000 people across a number of regions and towns, and we’re proud to be one of the largest employers of Indigenous Australians in the country. Our work
As an active community partner, we support community initiatives as diverse as education and training, childcare, health and wellbeing, and cultural heritage and environment protection.

Strukton Rail Australia provides a new category of railway asset management and engineering in Australia by combining strong local domain knowledge and technical expertise with 100 years’ experience of asset management in Europe. Our highly experienced Australian-based team who understand local clients and market conditions, enable insight to asset condition, performance and reliability - creating highly predictable rail operations for our customers.
When operating a rail network, data is critical.
Strukton utilises a data driven approach, capturing outputs from processes and systems to understand network deterioration and how it reacts to maintenance activities. Enabling optimised shutdowns and to re-forecast and ensure the maintenance planning and execution is aligned with the Asset Strategy and long-term investment in asset renewal and upgrades. Measurement data, asset configuration information, maintenance and renewal history, and track usage data can be combined to build a deterioration model for a railway network. These network states are a data driven representation of the “health” of the track infrastructure and enables the Network Response forecast to be refined to create more accurate predictive modelling outcomes and strategically improve the asset’s performance into the future.
Working in partnership with our clients to provide solutions.
Sophisticated condition monitoring technology, data management and analytics, are at the centre of Strukton’s approach and are now embedded into a new digital twin solution for rail – WillowRail. The digital twin unlocks new ways to engage with rail network assets by integrating existing disparate and isolated systems from multiple operational elements into one interface. WillowRail creates a single view of network performance, compliance and maintenance status, and is capable of delivering deep insights to owners and operators, live and in real time.
Strukton’s Safety Systems optimise the method of managing track possessions, make working on the railway infrastructure safer and significantly improve efficiency of maintenance windows.
