Jones said: “Cross River Rail is a world-class project that demands the very best and this is a great example of how we already have globally recognised companies right here in Queensland that can rise to the challenge.

“The Palaszczuk government’s number one priority is to create jobs for Queenslanders, this project ticks all the boxes.”

Cross River Rail Delivery Authority CEO Graeme Newton said: “We have awarded contracts for three major works packages and construction consortiums that have been awarded those contracts are now sub-contracting works to a wide variety of companies as workforces are established at sites right across the city.”

In August, the Government of Queensland awarded a contract to Unity Alliance to deliver the rail, integration and systems (RIS) package for the Cross River Rail project.

This April, the Government of Queensland selected companies to build various parts of the Cross River Rail project.
