Memos, reference documents, maps, and the evidence base. Click VIEW to read, or DOWNLOAD to save. As the movement grows, this library grows with it.
All MMA's own writing — memos and analysis — plus the engineering reference documents the movement is built on, the route maps, the external evidence we point to, and any media coverage as it emerges.

MMA Memos
4 PUBLISHED · 1 IN DRAFT
MMA's own memo series — strategic and possibility-focused content for a public audience. Four memos are published (Memos 1, 2, 3, 4 — Solar Sizing, the East-Coast Plan, the Continental National Plan, and Phase 0 Route Selection), with Memo 5 (Alice Hub PHES) published and Memo 6 in development. Engineering rigour for the same topics lives in the companion Multi-Modal Corridors memos.
Memo 1 · Energy
Solar Sizing for the SBC: Reaching 1,000 GW
The arithmetic of the resource, the deployment footprint, and the power output. Four Solar Regions totalling 1.5 million km². 1,000 GW occupies just 2.6% of that. Output ~2,100 TWh/yr — eight times Australia's current demand. Built to scale further as Asian demand grows.
After Inland Rail: The East-Coast Plan That Exists
The May 2026 cancellation of Inland Rail's northern half. The $3.8B pivot to a Melbourne metro loop. Rail freight collapsed from 28% to 2% over a generation. HSRA $55-90B for passenger-only Sydney-Newcastle. Australia has no plan for moving freight other than diesel trucks on roads. This memo sets out the east-coast solution — the MMC Phase 0 corridor and its seven east-coast spurs delivering freight, passenger and transmission on one structure. Phase 0 is the priority because nothing else works until it does. The continental national plan is the subject of forthcoming MMA Memo 3.
Australia depends on diesel trucks for freight; imports 80–90% of its refined fuel; has only 30 days of diesel stock; runs one vulnerable rail line each to Perth and Darwin that has been cut by floods three times in four years (2022, 2024, 2026). Mining and agriculture are 90%+ reliant on diesel. Net zero requires electrification but there's no plan. This memo sets out the continental national plan — six Sovereign Build Corridors (~17,400 km), every Australian port and airport on the network, elevated and flood-proof, electric from day one. Follows MMA Memo 2 (the east-coast plan). The crisis has already begun.
Phase 0 Route Selection: Rebuilding the Inland Spine Australia Abandoned
Why the Phase 0 spine runs inland, not coastal. HSRA wants $55-90B for 191 km of coastal HSR (60% in tunnel, on prime built-up land). The North Coast Line is officially the most serious bottleneck on the East Coast rail corridor. NSFC Stage 1 capacity exhausts in 2028. Australia ran an inland Sydney-Brisbane railway — the Great Northern — from 1889 to 1988 before closing it. The Phase 0 spine is built almost entirely above existing road and rail corridors: Main South Line, Main Western Line, the Golden Highway (Dubbo-Newcastle freight route), Main North Line, and the abandoned Great Northern alignment. Air-rights infrastructure via lease, not strip-acquisition purchase. Frees the coastal lines for passenger upgrade and gives the Hunter Valley two routes to Sydney for the first time.
Alice Hub PHES — Australia’s Continental Energy and Water Engine
40 GW of pumped hydro at 770 m head in the MacDonnell Ranges. A 32-day sovereign energy reserve. Up to 25,000 GL per year of water to southern Australia. The national endowment that solves energy, water, and economic security simultaneously — at $1.33/kWh, 25 times cheaper than Snowy 2.0.
Why 18 maglev stations across the Phase 0 corridor — the balance between high-speed point-to-point service and meaningful regional coverage. ~135 km average between stops, comparison with international maglev networks.

Phase 0 · Spine
Melbourne to Brisbane
The Phase 0 spine. 2,284 km inland alignment via Bendigo, Echuca, Shepparton, Albury, Wagga Wagga, Goulburn, WSA, Bathurst, Dubbo, and the New England plateau.
External reference documents — government planning, industry studies, academic research, and historical records — that the movement points to as evidence for its claims.
External evidence — HSRA planning documents, transport and freight studies, energy and transmission planning, water and agriculture references, infrastructure planning analyses, and international project comparisons — will be added here as PDFs and Drive links become available. Sub-categorisation will be introduced once volume justifies it.
