Moorebank Intermodal Terminal Project -
Market Sounding
Invitation for market participation
On 23 April 2012 the Australian Government announced its commitment to progress the Moorebank IMT Project at Moorebank in Western Sydney, with the facility opening on the School of Military Engineering (SME) site mid 2017 subject to planning approval.
The decision follows Government consideration of the Project’s Detailed Business Case, which considered the freight capacity issues facing Sydney and recommended a response to these challenges. It identified economic and social benefits including reduced traffic congestion, reduced freight costs, greater productivity throughout the national supply chain, improved environmental outcomes and local employment.
The design, construction and operation of the terminal will be undertaken by the private sector through a competitive process, in which the private sector will also be provided with an opportunity to contribute to the overall funding of the Project.
The Moorebank Project Office (MPO) is conducting an updated Market Sounding/Briefing during May 2012. The purpose of this Market Sounding/Briefing series is to separately brief all interested stakeholders on the advancement of the Project including its proposed implementation plan.
The MPO is inviting interested parties that have not previously registered, and who satisfy one or more of the following criteria, to participate in the Market Sounding/Briefing process:
- Port and / or IMT operators who have a current presence in the Australian freight and logistics market;
