Is Australia ready for High Speed Rail?
Our new demographic analysis reveals the problem Australia will continue to face, if pop. growth isn’t managed through building smart, liveable & sustainable cities connected by high speed rail.
Must read report:

Australia's population is growing at pace. To house this growth a city the size of Darwin needs to be built every 12 weeks for the next 40 years. New regional smart cities must be part of the plan. https://t.co/9DrnYfeJ9Q #TheCLARAPlan
Trackless trams are being considered by the NSW Government as they require no tracks, are powered by batteries & use gold-standard technology. #TheCLARAPlan will utilise this form of public transport. https://t.co/glPgrmiYYs
MUST READ: Telstra CEO Andrew Penn op-ed 'Bringing regional Australia into the #5G future'. They are a global leader in the roll-out of #5G technology. https://t.co/wvHAjT8icc #TheCLARAPlan
We agree the more people heading to regional Australia the better it will be for our country, however we must be able to accommodate them within new #smartcities and avoid isolation through connection to the major centres. https://t.co/D3uPe04ypq #TheCLARAPlan
Migration must continue to play a key role in lowering the median age of the Australian population. The solution to major city congestion is new smart cities. https://t.co/5g5d10gKSo #TheCLARAPlan
#5G technology will be transformative. It is too important for Australian innovation to be stalled by misinformation. https://t.co/spdw0X7i4r #TheCLARAPlan
Mark Steinert, Stockland CEO, calls for high speed rail between Sydney & Canberra. #HSR infrastructure would indeed provide great economic activity yet the benefit is minor in comparison to the new settlements it enables. https://t.co/Qi4oqoLye7 #TheCLARAPlan@mcranston1
In the past 4 months the median house price in Sydney and Melbourne has climbed by more than the minimum wage ... another victory for housing affordability...
This is a great example of the interest international & local companies have in greenfield sites that have sophisticated infrastructure, transport connection, technology, & skills anchoring the project. https://t.co/EPUu5TZMrY #TheCLARAPlan
"Trackless trams may be an option that can help urbanism flourish around stations along corridors limited until now to cars or buses." Peter Newman, Professor of Sustainability, @CurtinUni https://t.co/PQrdWIDCeF #TheCLARAPlan
Experts from 3 top universities just released a proposal supporting #TheCLARAPlan's vision that Melb. pop. growth issues can be tackled with regional greenfield cities connected to the CBD by high speed rail. This is a strong endorsement for #TheCLARAPlan. https://t.co/fn9cSrtRX9
Keith Woods on why this country needs to adopt high speed rail: "It’s a popular & successful form of transport used in much of the developed world. With our growing congestion problems, it’s time we saw it in Australia," https://t.co/cwuyl0x1JW #TheCLARAPlan#HSR
David Williams, @pia_planning, highlights #congestion costs will double in the next 12yrs & work life balance will deteriorate as Australia drifts towards 3-megacity future. His call for a #nationalsettlement strategy is spot on: https://t.co/NoIq73hDJV #TheCLARAPlan
