Light Rail Planning and Delivery 2018

Ensuring On-Time and Within Budget Delivery through Effective Project Planning and Governance Strategy Development

With a recent study showing that congestion may cost Australia’s economy $20 billion a year by 2020, cities across Australia are investing heavily in light rail systems and infrastructure to alleviate the problem. However, recent projects have shown us that complex infrastructure delivered by multiple stakeholders via varying contractual arrangements offer a unique set of risks that need to be mitigated against to ensure value for money and commercial viability for both public and private sector partners.

With this in mind, the Light Rail Planning and Delivery 2018 will look to deliver best practice for planning and design of light rail networks and understand how best to integrate them into the current city transport networks. Furthermore, it will discuss how to finance the projects and how to move from a great concept to completion. IQPC has sourced the foremost government, light rail operators and asset managers and urban planning professionals to further your knowledge. Don’t miss your chance to hear about the use of innovative processes and strategies from some of the largest projects.

The Light Rail Planning and Delivery Summit will also address:

  • Mitigating Project Risks in major PPP light rail infrastructure delivery through Effective Contract Governance 
  • Delivering Urban Regeneration through route planning and value capture techniques
  • Developing intermodal planning and communication strategies for project success
  • Understanding the new technologies and strategies that will enable whole of life asset management
  • Developing  communication and management strategies for project and external stakeholders
  • Understanding the emerging technologies that will enable efficient project delivery

As part of IQPC’s Future Rail Week, don’t miss this opportunity to network with your peers and industry experts to network, benchmark, share and discuss opinions, strategy and triumphs faced during the transformation and investment of digital rail capabilities.
