The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 438: Chapter 352: Industrial Base and Railway Construction_3

The construction mileage of this part of the railway is not long, and the railways near the industrial base are already in place, so it is expected that the construction period will only take a year and a half.

The second part of the Central Railway, located in the true center of the Australian region, connects Darwin, Bodem, Tennant Creek, Alicia Springs, and Takura from north to south, eventually linking back to the Industrial Railway.

The third part of the Central Railway is actually about the railway connections between Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland Capital Territory, and the four regions.

All four regions are located in the east of Australia, which also has the largest Australian population.

The railway planning in this part is quite complicated; not only are the railways interconnected between the four regions, but also within each administrative region, the railways must form a loop to facilitate population movement and economic exchange.

This part of the railway can be divided in detail into the railway circles of Townsville, Hewnden, Dagala, Jericho, Rockhampton, Brisbane, and Charlville in Queensland.

New South Wales has Newcastle, Orlando, Wolget, Burke, and Dylan Banda railway circles.

Victoria has Melbourne, Geelong, and Oboost railway circles.

As well as the Sydney Railway Circle in Capital Territory.

The four major railway circles form a set of systems, interconnected to promote economic exchange and population mobility in a large area.

After the completion of this railway, the transportation of West Australian State will become very developed, and it will also facilitate the rapid transportation of supplies from the Northern Railway and the Industrial Railway to the Leonora Industrial Base.

Following the principle of importance, after the completion of the first part, the most challenging and longest third part will be constructed.

The third part is located in the central part of the Australian region, the most populous, economically developed, and core area of Australia and the entire Australasia.

The importance of this part of the railway is far greater than that of the railway running through South Australia State, and it is also an important goal of government railway construction.

Only after the completion of these two parts of railway construction, the Transportation Department can consider the South Australia railway construction and then complete the entire Central Railway.

According to the Transportation Department's estimation, the construction of the entire Central Railway will take about ten years and require at least 50 million Australian dollars to start.

However, the good news is that this fund is not a one-time expenditure and will be consumed slowly during the construction of the railway over more than ten years.

This means that the annual government expenditure on railway construction is only about 5 million Australian dollars, which is entirely within the government's capacity to bear.

It's important to note that the increase in job opportunities brought by railway construction alone can keep Australasia's economy growing continuously.

For national-level projects, investing in infrastructure construction is not a loss, as the funds spent will, in turn, promote the country's economic growth in another way.
