New South Wales
Australian Capital Territory
NSW continues a major transition to clean energy. The Department of Planning and Environment approved four new solar projects in regional NSW that could power more than 100,000 homes. The solar farms are located at Nevertire, Walgett, Gilgandra and Metz.
Alternative energy projects are also being pursued in the Australian Capital Territory. Capital Recycling Solutions is planning a $200 million waste-to-energy plant in Fyshwick. The project will be a joint venture with ActewAGL in the generation of baseload renewable electricity for the ACT grid.
A preliminary proposal has been submitted to the Department of Planning and Environment by Photon Energy. The proposal is for a $380 million, 316 megawatt solar farm on 590 hectares at Gunning (40 km east of Yass) which would be the largest solar power plant in NSW. Currently the largest operating solar farm is a 104 megawatt plant in Nyngan. Axiom Properties has purchased part of Richmond Club’s land in Sydney’s west for construction of a new hotel. The company is in final negotiations with a hotel group to operate the project. Hunter Development Corporation has invited expressions of interest for sale and development of the next 5,250 square metre premium waterfront site in Newcastle’s ‘Honeysuckle Precinct’. The Honeysuckle Precinct is a waterfront stretch of former industrial land at the mouth of the Hunter River. The site hosted workshops, wool stores, cargo sheds and warehouses for most of the 20th Century, but left the land derelict. The Hunter Development Corporation is revitalising the land to make the most of growing residential demand in Newcastle, as well as its prime waterfront positioning. Watpac has been awarded the $187 million contract to build the Arthur Phillip High School and Parramatta Public School. The project will deliver a vertical high rise high school for 2,000 students and a 1,000 student primary school on the existing sites. Up for sale by expressions of interest is a 4,632 square metre development site in the heart of Liverpool with development approval in place for 307 units. Strong population growth and designation as a Regional City in the Sydney Metropolitan strategy have been factors in the strong development growth of this area.

A scoping document has been put before the government and an environmental impact statement is being prepared prior to release for public comment. The proposal would sort waste from the ACT and NSW. Material would be sorted into recyclable streams and the remaining waste would be converted into electricity through a thermal combustion technology.
Victoria This month, Cordell recorded that early planning was in progress for construction of a $7 billion international airport near Koo Wee Rup, located to the south-east of Melbourne. The airport proposal has been one of the major drivers in lifting the value of the pipeline over July. Described as ‘Melbourne’s Badgery’s Creek’, the site would be approximately the size of Canberra’s airport. It is being led by Paragon Premier Investment Fund, in anticipation for cargo freight and eventually passenger flights over the next 10-15 years. If approved, the estimated completion date is 2020. CPB Contractors and Bombardier Transportation together have been awarded the $1 billion Rail Systems Alliance contract as a part of the $11 billion Metro Tunnel Project. This will include the first roll-out of a high capacity signalling (HCS) and communications system on an existing rail network anywhere in Australia. This HCS advanced technology will allow trains to run every two to three minutes, and will operate the 65 new high-capacity trains currently being built in Victoria that will run on the Sunbury to Cranbourne-Pakenham line via the Metro Tunnel. This new technology will be supported through dedicated control centres which will be built in Dandenong and Sunshine.
Preliminary design contracts have been awarded for the $15.8 million worth of upgrades to Bendigo and Eaglehawk stations to Arcadis and Kinsley Group respectively. Bendigo station will have a new pedestrian overpass with lifts and stairs creating an easier transfer between platforms. The waiting area, amenities and customer service areas will also be upgraded. Eaglehawk station’s platform will be extended with improved shelter, and 60 new car parking spaces will be created. Construction is expected in early 2018.

Stage one of the $280 million Echuca-Moama Bridge Project is expected to commence shortly. This will see a major new roundabout at the intersection of the Murray Valley Highway and Warren Street in Echuca. The $3.77 million project was awarded to the Echucabased company, RECivil. The project will enable a second crossing in the region with a safer bridge over the Murray River for commuters to enter and leave Echuca. Expressions of interest have closed for the Drysdale bypass project with pre-registered tenders expected to be invited next month. The $109 million project will measure 5.9 kilometres with a two lane bypass providing an alternate route for fewer trucks and heavy vehicles on High Street, less congestion at peak times and safer access to the schools precinct.
Queensland Lindeman Island, an island resort of the Whitsundays off the coast of Queensland, may undergo a $583 million redevelopment. An environmental impact statement has been submitted by the owner, White Horse Australia Lindeman Pty Ltd. The company purchased the island resort from Club Med in 2012, when the resort was closed after the devastation of Cyclone Yasi.

Northern Territory
Mining
A $235 million plan has been launched to develop a space centre in Arnhem Land, in the north-east of the Northern Territory.
