YPR .... who is this group pretending they are good guys helping Indigenous people in Australia. This is a complete disillusion for these people. The first peoples of this country who retain their culture are sickened by Government assuming all types of things should be put behind them and that they should forget their culture and move on. This education is flawed by many factors and the most important of these is the lack of understanding about protecting country.

“Aust-Asia Global Economic Transport Corridor”A Compelling Project Engineered to Provide Essential 21st Century Integrated Transport Infrastructure Connections
“Modern projects to launch this country into the next phase of economic prosperity will not be built without private capital.” The Hon Warren Truss Deputy Prime Minister of Australia Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, October 2013
Rail and road freight infrastructure planning and investment can no longer be undertaken in isolation from each other, or worse, in competition with each other. ‘A new national freight strategy needs to be developed for our freight networks to improve planning, investment and decision making’. Infrastructure Australia February 2011
Productivity and competitiveness, which are vital to meet the challenges of the future, are inhibited by constraints to freight. These constraints include a lack of planning for freight activities, a lack of clarity about the capacity for growth, and poor interoperability across infrastructure networks, all of which lead to congestion, low reliability and unexploited opportunities for investment. Infrastructure Australia February 2011
Answers the call for the development of vital 21st Century integrated port to rail transport infrastructure
Private enterprise funded transport infrastructure! No additional burden on taxpayers! Y.P.R Consortium Infrastructure Capital Works Program Aud$39.076 Billion Estimated Capital Injection Expenditure: • Port Yamba Regeneration & Expansion Program Est: Aud$10b • East West Rail Trunkline Yamba Port to Inland Rail Corridor Est: Aud$12.6b • 2nd Blue Mountains Heavy Duty Railway Crossing Est: $12.026b • Strategic NSW Regional Country Rail Network Upgrades: Aud$5.08b
Australian Federal Government’s current reports indicate an infrastructure deficit in excess of AUD $470 billion, which has and will continue to constrain productivity growth. The major government reported issues were: • Inadequate land-side efficiency at Port Botany and the Port of Melbourne; • Population increasing land-use competition; • Inner city traffic congestion, • Container trade growth increasing by 200% by 2025, • Inadequate national rail network capacity, • Disparity between Australian network efficiency and global best standards WHY THE PROJECT ?

Information provided throughout this PowerPoint presentation outline the Y.P.R (2015-2025) plan for the development of critical Eastern Australian freight rail and port-based transport infrastructure. The Plan clearly demonstrates its capacity to coordinate and deliver the essential objectives to comprehensively upgrade and expand NSW freight transport infrastructure in-line with national transport infrastructure priorities. Y.P.R (Aust) Pty Ltd is currently negotiating a cooperative formal agreement with the NSW and Commonwealth Governments for this purpose.
Australia’s transport and logistics industry generates approximately $201 billion a year in revenue, accounting for 15% of GDP, and is linked to every household and traditional industry in our economy. The industry is expected to undergo significant growth in the coming decades with our freight task predicted to double by 2025 and triple by 2050 off the back of a doubling between 1990 and 2010. Transport with a capital “T” must lead Australia’s infrastructure agenda.
STATED OBJECTIVE To develop a seamless technology enhanced integrated world-class transport network that has capacity to set a new benchmark in national freight logistics efficiency.
Transport infrastructure is of great significance and importance to Australia's future and impacts on the nation's competitiveness and productivity. Australia faces a challenge in delivering major infrastructure in time to meet future needs. With the population set to exceed 35 million by 2050 and freight predicted to double by 2030, getting transport infrastructure right is vital. The economic, social and environmental consequences of congested and capacity-constrained supply chains are well documented.
Pressure on Sydney's transport systems is immense. Supporting the daily movement of over 900,000 commuters as well as the movement of nearly 400 million tonnes of freight annually, key sections of Sydney’s shared metro road and rail network is either nearing or has already exceeded operational capacity. Capacity problems on the existing metropolitan network are compounded further by an annual arrival of some thirty eight (38) million visitors entering Sydney via Kingsford Smith Airport.
The city of Sydney is not an isolated case. Inadequate planning for future capacity demands on all metropolitan networks across all Eastern State Capitals has led to spiralling capacity constraints resulting in lost time and productivity, reduced cost efficiency, ever-increasing traffic congestion and disrupted shipping scheduling.

The city specific levels rise from $3.5b (2005) to $7.8b (2020) for Sydney, $3.0b to $6.1b for Melbourne, $1.2 to $3.0b for Brisbane. Rising Capital City Congestion Costs Alone Justify The Development of the Y.P.R Project
PORT YAMBA Y.P.R PROJECT 1 Est: Capital Works Cost Aud$10b
Port Yamba is Australia’s most eastern seaport. Located on the main north-south trade shipping lane the route carries in excess of seventy percent (70%) of Australia’s import/export trade annually. A unique and significant piece of transport infrastructure, the ports underlying potential to become a large-scale, multi-cargo import-export facility that would provide for bulk, general cargo, Ro Ro and containerised trade, has significantly increased in recent years. The locations unique characteristics remove the significant operational and capacity constraints currently afflicting all major eastern capital city seaports. Under the YPR Plan, the port will be transformed from its limited domestic operational status into a globally significant “common-user” shipping hub capable of accepting a wide-range of vessel types ranging in size to include Post Panamax and Cape Size vessels. OVERVIEW OF PORT YAMBA PROPOSAL
The port development area will utilise 36sqkm of land on Goodwood, Chatsworth and Harwood Islands. This will allow for the development of 7.2 kilometres of quay line and in excess of 5.5 million m2 of terminal space. Land-side developments will include operational and administration facilities, customs and quarantine inspection areas, under-bond warehouse facilities, container parks, railway and truck marshalling yards and environmental protection areas and buffer zones. Port Yamba will provide capacity for 4 million TEU’s and some 30-40 million tonnes of non containerised freight by 2023. TEU capacity represents 22.2% of Australia’s forecast container trade growth of 18 million TEU’s by 2050. The completion date for the integrated port-rail project is envisaged to occur in 2023

In Summary As a direct result of both the YPR and The Australian Governments Inland Rail initiatives, it is foreseen that regional Australia will enter a new phase of manufacturing, transport logistics and agribusiness-driven economic development. This revitalisation strategy is focused on several issues. Through the development of critical based transport infrastructure it is expected to provide a major impetus for the expansion of decentralisation, regional agribusiness and in particular manufacturing and warehouse/distribution facilities. The scale of the development is such that across the board revitalisation of diverse areas of regional economies can be expected.
Areas of major expansion will be focused upon construction, manufacturing, local employment, quarrying and earth works, plant and equipment and a diverse range of support and service based industries. This level of activity and financial investment will also result in a significant increase in other direct and indirect investments as businesses position themselves to capitalise on both development initiatives.
A comprehensive range of ancillary projects will flow as a consequence of the Y.P.R development: • Water supply & irrigation projects • Renewable energy projects • Industrial development • Food security • Residential development • Trades & service industries
Y.P.R (Aust) is committed to ensuring equal opportunity within the workforce. The company will work with Indigenous organisations to advance economic independence, employment and enterprise opportunities for Indigenous Australians. We are committed to building lasting relationships which lead to the development of sustainable outcomes. Open workplace opportunities: • Administration • Trades & Services • Skilled Labour • Maritime Training (College) • Apprenticeships ASSISTING FIRST AUSTRALIAN’S ECONOMIC

“Y.P.R building the infrastructure to strengthen and sustain Australia’s economic engagement with the world’s largest rising economies, principally in Asia”. In order to estimate employment generation, a conservative estimate of four (4) direct employees for every AUD$1million expended over the lifespan of the infrastructure project. This equates to an approximate one hundred and forty four thousand (144,000) direct employment positions generated over the lifespan of the project development. Unparalleled Employment Intake
