North East Link (NEL) is the largest investment in a road project in Victoria’s history. It will complete the missing link in Melbourne’s orbital freeway between an upgraded Eastern Freeway and the M80 Ring Road.
NEL will improve traffic flow, reduce travel times, remove non-local traffic from local roads and increase reliability for road users with up to 135,000 vehicles using the freeway daily. NEL will take up to 15,000 trucks off local roads resulting in reduced travel times for freight and associated industries. NEL is expected to reduce travel times by up to 35 minutes across the project corridor.
The $11.1 billion Primary Package was procured and will be delivered as an ‘availability-based’ Public Private Partnership with an Incentivised Target Cost (ITC) regime that applies in respect of costs incurred during the design and construction phase of the project.
The contract for the Primary Package has been awarded to the Spark consortium, with Financial Close occurring on 28 October 2021.
The Spark consortium comprises WeBuild, GS Engineering and Construction, CPB Contractors, China Construction Oceania, Ventia, Capella Capital, John Laing Investments, DIF and Pacific Partnerships.
The Primary Package scope includes:
The other remaining project elements of NEL will delivered under separate packages, including:
The South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication project will deliver more frequent and reliable services and better stations for passengers on Victoria’s busiest regional rail line.
Over $1 billion is being invested to deliver better and more frequent services for the communities between South Geelong and Waurn Ponds. This includes the newly completed Waurn Ponds Station upgrade, Waurn Ponds stabling and the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication.
The South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication project will deliver five trains per hour during the peaks, and three per hour between the peaks for Marshall and Waurn Ponds stations as well as improved reliability for Geelong services.
The project includes two level crossing removals, station upgrades at South Geelong and Marshall, track duplication and signalling upgrades as well as new shared user paths to better connect South Geelong and Waurn Ponds.
The Djilang Alliance, comprising McConnell Dowell, Downer, Arup and WSP Australia, has been appointed to deliver the project, which will include opportunities for local contractors and suppliers.
Major construction will get underway later this year and is targeted for completion in late 2024.
