John Holland to deliver Inland Rail from Illabo to Stockinbingal

🚂🚧 Our team delivering the Inland Rail Beveridge to Albury (B2A) Tranche 2 will kick off major works on the project this week with works starting in Euroa. Earlier this week Welcome to Country and smoking ceremonies were held at the Broadford and Euroa sites to mark this milestone.

Working with Inland Rail we’ll draw on our deep expertise in brownfield rail projects when work begins on four bridge replacements, a vehicle underpass, railway track lowers and station modifications to allow sufficient clearance for double-stacked freight trains.

Construction will soon follow at other sites, including the bridge replacements at Broadford and Wandong, a station modification at Benalla and several areas of track lowering, including under the Hume Freeway at Tallarook and Seymour.

As we deliver the project, we’ll focus on continuing our relationship with the local communities to ensure we leave a long-lasting legacy for the region.

Once complete the project will enable the safe operation of double-stacked freight trains across eight B2A Tranche 2 project sites between Wandong and Benalla, helping to transform how goods are moved around Australia, generating opportunities for our regions and our economy, now and in the future.

🏆 Last night Sydney Metro City won Project of the Year at the Infrastructure Partnerships Australia Awards – and we’re proud of the role we played in this city-shaping project.

🚆 Not only is the driverless metro network run by one of our Operations and Maintenance joint ventures – Metro Trains Sydney – with the team supporting testing and commissioning and leading trial running to prepare the network for opening.

🚧 But we also delivered the first rail tunnels under Sydney Harbour for Sydney Metro City, as part of the Tunnelling and Station Excavation joint venture. The huge project, which was delivered ahead of time, tunnelled under Sydney’s CBD to create some of Australia’s most complex underground station structures.

🔧 Our Sydenham Station Junction project undertook complex works to integrate Sydney Metro at Sydenham Station. The team delivered construction to extend Sydenham station, including building a new Sydney Metro concourse and platforms, plus track, signalling, and overhead line work to facilitate the Metro running through the junction.

🏗️ While our Waterloo Station project was the last Design and Construct contract to be awarded along the Sydney Metro city alignment, but it was the first station to successfully reach completion.

Congratulations to everyone involved in delivering Sydney Metro City – it’s transforming how people travel around Sydney and we’re so proud to have helped deliver it.

Bridging the Gap Between Education and Industry



Last week, we had the privilege of hosting over 100 QUT (Engineering, Architecture and Built Environment) Introduction to Construction Management students for their very first onsite experience!



The students visited two of our iconic projects – Waterfront Brisbane and Mater Hospital Springfield, where they had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the real-world construction environment.



At each site, they were given a comprehensive project overview and guided tours, offering an up-close look at the exciting work our teams are delivering. Their enthusiasm was contagious, with plenty of insightful questions that highlighted their passion and curiosity for all things construction.



With four years of study ahead, we can’t wait to see some of these bright minds returning as Graduate applicants in 2029!



We’re proud to support the next generation of construction professionals and help them kickstart their journey into the industry.

🐰 How does the Easter Bunny cross the railway line at Webster Street?

With the help from our North Western Program Alliance team that's working on removing the level crossing and building a new road underpass for the @levelcrossings removal project of course!

Members of the team helped spread the Easter cheer to local businesses while providing project updates.

Meanwhile our team at nearby Melton provided a drawcard in the local shopping centre, where residents could see how progress is being made on removing their level crossings while enjoying a chocolate treat.

We wish everyone a safe and happy Easter break.

🙌🏽 Construction has kicked off at the redeveloped Penrith Stadium!



The @johnhollandgroup team was really pleased to welcome the NSW Premier @chrisminnsmp, NSW Deputy Premier @pruecarmp NSW Minister for Sport @stevekampermp and representatives from Infrastructure NSW, @venuesnsw, @penrithpanthers and @penrithcitycouncil to see construction get underway.



The state-of-the-art multipurpose venue will support the growth of league, union and football in Sydney's western suburbs, as well as hosting concerts and events.



The stadium will also improve accessibility for visitors, and the design and increased food and beverage options and amenities mean fans will spend less time in queues and more time taking in the action!



John Holland has decades of experience in delivering world-class sports and entertainment facilities, including Allianz Stadium in Sydney.



The Penrith Stadium project is proudly funded by the NSW Government.

🚋 We’re focused on the future of Melbourne’s iconic tram network – and we’re proud to be involved in all parts of the lifecycle.

Our team on the North Western Program Alliance is delivering the new Tram Maintenance Facility at Maidstone. This purpose-built facility will house Melbourne’s Next Generation trams.

The team is in the final stages of delivery with test trams starting to run at the new site last week. This follows the completion of 5,031m of track and associated overhead wiring installed in the new facility last month.

Once complete, the Tram Maintenance Facility will provide undercover maintenance tracks, stabling roads, an undercover stabling and sanding area, a tram wash and a test track for Melbourne’s Next Generation G Class trams. These new trams will be rolled out onto the Yarra Trams network.

In partnership with Transdev, we have been operating Yarra Trams since December last year. In that time, performance on the network (reliability and punctuality) has been stronger than the same time the previous year 📈.

While the Yarra Trams team has delivered services to some of Melbourne’s major events including the Australian Open 🎾 and the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix 🏎️.
