What we build first.

Four corridors. Built first.

These four are the core of the network — the Melbourne–Brisbane spine and the three spurs that immediately turn it into a working national system. Hunter Valley access, the 15-minute Newcastle to Sydney maglev, and the Western Sydney Airport corridor into Sydney CBD. Together these are the foundation. Everything else builds out from here.

Indicative sequencing horizons. Phase 0's 2027 commencement and 2035 operational date are the only locked timing — the rest is the realistic path the country could choose. Actual sequencing is set by political and economic momentum, capital partner sequencing, and community advocacy.
