The Vision
The industry vision begins:
”The Australian Rail Supply Sector will be innovative and cohesive, having
developed a strong sense of industry. This unified industry will be capable
of embracing change, enabling it to respond to international trends and
achieve profitable growth on a local and global scale.”
On track to 2040 - Preparing the Australian Rail supply industry for
Challenges and Growth, 2011

The Challenges
• Fragmented history
• Legacy of gauges
• State focused governance
• Diverse standards by state, market and
customer boundaries
• Slow rates of innovation
• Global economic landscape
• Rising markets in Asia Pacific region
6
Growth Opportunities
• Demand for urban and regional
passenger services
• High speed rail
• Energy and carbon efficiencies of rail
• Growth in mining sector
• Light rail in all major cities
• Inland standard gauge rail link
7
Strategic Priority Areas
Six priority areas Regulation and Standardisation
1. Governance • Define and catalogue
national standards
• Establish a single safety
and standards body
• Target funding towards
standardisation
2. Regulation and
Standardisation
3. Funding
4. Collaboration
5. Research

Current Challenges
Standard Development Process:
• Funding structure
• Resource support
• Manufacturer involvement
• Program and interface management
• Competing ‘local’ priorities
16
Current Challenges
Standard Content Development:
• Fostering a ‘national’ focus
• Narrow, standard & broad gauges
• Standard design footprints
• Sourcing information
- dual gauge
- heavy haul rail sections
- international standards
17
Current Challenges
Wider Industry:
• Industry strategic planning
• Cross stakeholder participation
• Industry regulation
• Support of national peak bodies
• Collaboration on standardisation
• Funding priorities aligned to
implementation program

WHAT CAN BE
ACHIEVED?
WHAT NEEDS TO
BE DONE?
WHERE ARE WE
NOW?
What external factors influence the Australian rail industry and how are these
evolving? Trends and Drivers
What domestic and international opportunities do these trends and drivers
present? Opportunities
What competitive advantages can the industry exploit to help realise these
opportunities?
What additional capability and technology needs to be developed? What are the
gaps and barriers that will prevent opportunities from being realised?
