Cross River Rail
‘Transforming South East Queensland in Australia’s Rail Network’
The population of South-East Queensland in Australia has grown significantly within recent years and is expected to reach 4.9 million by 2036.
The Queensland Government is delivering Cross River Rail which will transform the way people travel across the whole of South East Queensland. Journeys will be quicker, there will be new stations in more convenient locations, there will be capacity to increase train services as the population grows, and public transport will become a more viable option for the whole region, helping to ease congestion on the roads.

The challenge
Cross River Rail represents a major investment in rail infrastructure within Australia’s third largest city. It is Queensland’s first project to be delivered under a Joint-Control Integrated PPP Model. The project will play a significant role in improving accessibility to and from Brisbane’s central business district (CBD), connecting rapidly growing residential and employment areas.
The Tunnel, Stations and Development PPP is the largest of three packages as part of the broader Cross River Rail project.

The solution
Cross River Rail is a 10.2 km rail line between Dutton Park and Bowen Hills which includes 5.9 km of twin tunnels under the Brisbane River and the Central Business District (CBD). The Pulse consortium is delivering the underground section of the project, including the tunnels from the southern portal between Dutton Park and Boggo Road stations and the northern portal at Normanby between Roma Street and Exhibition stations, as well as the construction of four new, state-of-the-art underground stations at Boggo Road, Woolloongabba, Albert Street and Roma Street.
BAM Nuttall and Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau will deliver the design and construction in a joint venture with CPB Contractors, Ghella Pty Ltd, and UGL (CBGU).
The concession consists of a 29.5-year PPP arrangement between Pulse Partnerships Pty Ltd, of which Invesis Cross River Rail BV holds 15% of the shares and provides 15% of equity.
Invesis is proud to be part of the team delivering a vital piece of infrastructure for the State, one which will improve the lives of many within South East Queensland, boost the economy and generate thousands of jobs.
