National Rail Procurement and Manufacturing Strategy
We are developing a strategy to support the Australian rail manufacturing industry.
The strategy will address 4 main themes identified with industry and government stakeholders:
- a nationally coordinated approach to rolling stock procurement and manufacturing
- growing manufacturing capability through harmonising standards
- maximising public investment outcomes (including local content policies)
- improving research and innovation collaboration between industry, customers, researchers and designers.
We are continuing to engage with industry and government to inform strategy development, this includes:
- the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts
- state and territory governments
- rail peak bodies
- rail transport operators
- rail unions
- manufacturers.
