Description:  

The Thiess United Group Joint Venture, as part of the Trackstar Alliance, was awarded a contract by Queensland Rail to deliver the Corinda to Darra Rail Upgrade, which is one of four major rail infrastructure projects in south east Queensland. The project was part of the South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan (SEQIP) Rail Alliance, established  to ensure the delivery of planned rail infrastructure works for the region.

The Trackstar Alliance constructed a new 5.2km rail track between Corinda and Darra to increase the capacity of the Western Corridor. The track is the first in a series of steps towards improving the public transport needs of existing and future residents in the Western suburbs of Brisbane and out to Ipswich.
