23 Project Timeline Procurement & Early Works Major Construction/Implementation Period Completion Rail Project Delivery: CRRDA commences April 2017 Procurement: Tunnels, Stations & Developments Procurement: Rail, Integration & Systems Early Works: Borehole drilling Demolition Subsurface utilities Contract Award & Mobilisation Construction: Tunnels, Stations & Developments Albert Street over station development Underground works New stations Southern portal surface works Dutton Park Station upgrade Construction: Rail, Integration & Systems Surface works Exhibition Station upgrade Testing & Commissioning Procurement: European Train Control System System Design & Development Pilot program ETCS commissioning Precinct Development: Precinct Concepts Finalisation of Precinct Plans Precinct Development November 2018

24 So how do we create a team to deliver this mega-project?

25 A novel approach to finding talent Using a skills based approach: Advertising for skillset, not job title when establishing the Delivery Authority People drive the organisation structure: Teams & roles form around talented people provides flexibility & ideal for an emerging organisation The pull of a once-in-a-generation piece of infrastructure: Strong interest from applicants & profile raising for the project A unique structure: Matrix approach where experts sit across the entire project

26 Organisational structure Chief Executive Officer Commercial in confidence GM Precinct Delivery Project Director Chief Financial Officer Corporate Services Correspondence GM Strategy, Communications & Engagement Communications & Media Stakeholder Engagement Community Information GM Planning & Economic Development Land Approvals Planning Economic Business Case Development Boggo Road Woolloongabba Albert Street Roma Street/ Brisbane Live Exhibition Early Works Tunnels, Stations & Development (PPP) Rail, Integration & Systems (Alliance) European Train Control System (ETCS) Rail Infrastructure & Wider Network Strategic Transaction Integration Technical & ETCS Network Integration & Operations Commercial & Legal Systems Assurance & Integration & ISA Project Controls Safety & Risk

27 And now Change in advertising approach: Now with a solid structure to work from, advertising is role-based The next phase of the project: Preparing for considerable ramp up in the year ahead with consortia appointments in 2019 Still a strong pull of a once-in-a-generation piece of infrastructure: Continued interest from high-calibre applicants as the project becomes more visible

28 Partnerships to strengthen diversity Only 12.4% of engineers in Australia are women But increasing numbers of women studying engineering Women in Engineering program Partnership between Cross River Rail & TMR Rolling placement program 6-12 month placements Indigenous trainee program Collaborating with Department of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Partnerships for traineeships *Engineers Australia, The Engineering Profession: A Statistical Overview, 13 ed. (2017)

29 Partnerships to deliver new technologies ETCS (European Train Control System): Semi-autonomous system allows trains to travel closer together safely, stop with greater accuracy, maintain schedule & increase train frequency. To be rolled out on Cross River Rail lines & additional Queensland Rail lines First time to be rolled out in Queensland Collaboration with Queensland Rail QR ETCS team embedded within Cross River Rail Learning from the best Leveraging overseas expertise to plan for & implement ETCS
