The analysis categorizes the routes into four primary transportation corridors: the Coastal Corridor, the Mountain Corridor, the Inland Corridor, and the East-South Corridor. Among these, the Inland Corridor has been selected based on several advantageous factors:

1.Continuity of Rail Connection: It provides a complete rail link between Melbourne and Sydney, ensuring uninterrupted rail service.
2.Feasibility of Construction: This corridor is less challenging to construct compared to the Mountain and Coastal Corridors due to more favorable terrain and geographical conditions.
3.Cost-Efficiency: The Inland Corridor offers relatively short travel distances, which correlate with lower construction budgets.
4.Development Potential: It exhibits a higher potential for development, enhancing the overall economic impact of the rail network.
5.Enhancement of Transportation Resources: It significantly improves the existing deficiencies in transportation resources on internal roads.

Wagga Wagga Strategic Plan

High-speed rail (HSR) in Australia, defined as train services operating at speeds over 250 km/h. Wagga Wagga shows significant potential for HSR because of the location. The Wagga strategic plan prioritizes constructing the HSR corridor, enhancing the CBD and Health and Knowledge Precinct, implementing effective flood management, and improving connectivity through green corridors. Long-term goals include expanding the population northward, introducing a light rail system, and creating a 15-minute living area to support sustainable growth and improve quality of life. This plan aims to transform Wagga Wagga into a thriving medium-sized city, promoting economic diversity and enhancing livability, ensuring cohesive and sustainable development across all precincts.
