  1. Western Australian Regional Freight Transport Network Plan- Implementation Priorities Presentation to the Freight and Logistics Council Steve Beyer, Executive Director Integrated Transport Planning

  2. Project Focus • The Plan consolidates long term demands and infrastructure development needs of the State-owned major freight roads, railways and ports to define a principal network and future direction for the regional freight network: • Establishes a pipeline of infrastructure projects attractive to the Commonwealth and private investors • Sets the key reference for portfolio investment coordination in the State Budget process • Provides context for applications to Nation Building funding programs • Defines key policy and planning priorities

  3. Methodology-Rapid Analysis • Port Authorities, Brookfield and Main Roads best estimates to: • Identify strategic regional freight infrastructure • Quantify the freight task, now and future • Identify future principal network that best responds to the future task • Provide infrastructure works sequence to support network development • Alignment between providers

  4. Brookfield - Rapid Analysis 2012 2030

  5. Methodology-Detailed Analysis • Literature Review – 120+ technical reports • Stakeholder engagement - 160 consulted • Analysis of strategic uncertainties • North West LNG and iron ore (inbound freight) • South West supply chains of the future • Yilgarn iron ore and port catchment dynamics • Top 10 “other” supply chains in WA • Incorporated into simple freight models and short-reports

  6. Key Outcomes: Road Project Priorities

  7. Key Outcomes: Port and Rail Project Priorities

  8. Implementation Priorities • Intermodal • Current Work • Need and demand for an intermodal facility in Kalgoorlie, including the location options, cost and feasibility • Proposed Work • Intermodal network strategy for Perth to define facilities for international, intrastate and interstate business, and integration with industrial lands strategy – high priority as it is integral to Metro Freight Plan • Intermodal network strategy for the south of the state, including planning and protecting options for rail access to strategic heavy industrial estates

  9. Implementation Priorities • Heavy Vehicle Productivity • Current Work • Review of High Wide Load corridors to identify strategic trunk routes and assess the case for their development • Proposed Work • Selective reviews of the Restricted Access Vehicle regime, assessing benefits and costs, and impacts on rail and shipping: • Great Eastern Highway between Northam and Kalgoorlie – 36.5m RT2 • North West Coastal Highway south of Carnarvon – 53.5m RT3 • Goldfields and Coolgardie-Esperance Highways south of Kambalda to the Port of Esperance • Last mile - Transport NSW keen to work with WA on this matter, and potential Commonwealth interest

  10. Implementation Priorities • Railway Network • Current Work • Route options of a potential rail connection between the Goldfields-Esperance region and the Mid West and Pilbara ports • Potential connection for secondary interstate access to Perth/South West • Corridor definition for rail realignment around Kalgoorlie • Proposed Work • Investigate the suitability and potential usage of disused/non-operational rail corridors in the South West • Rail access to major regional industrial estates - initially ascertain what estates have rail access/reserves/potential and their current status

  11. Implementation Priorities • Freight Movements • Current Work • High level assessment of the inbound freight task from Perth to the Pilbara (Hyder), based on detailed advice from BHP Billiton • More detailed assessment of business opportunities for coastal shipping to the Pilbara (F&LC) • Proposed Work • Further investigate long-term inbound freight requirements • Common-user inbound maritime facilities in the Pilbara • New business for coastal shipping • Road network investment – GNH, NWCH, intra-Pilbara network
