About Us

The Surat Basin Rail Joint Venture was awarded an unconditional Exclusive Mandate by the Queensland Government in July 2007 to investigate the development of an open-access rail link through the Surat Coal Basin from Toowoomba and Gladstone.

The joint venture has been investigating the feasibility and bankability of developing the railway since mid 2007 and is working towards a construction completion target of early 2012.

The joint venture is an example of how the private sector and the Government can work together to deliver major infrastructure at no cost to the taxpayer.
