The proposed Smoky Creek and Guthrie’s Gap Solar Power Stations project involves the delivery of a solar farm and battery project, located across two separate sites. The project is being developed by Edify Energy.

The full scope of works includes:

• a 720-megawatt solar farm

• a 600-megawatt / 2.4-gigawatt hour battery energy storage system 

• connection to Powerlink’s 275 kV transmission network, and

• DC-coupled solar and battery architecture.

The project will see the construction of a new Women and Babies Hospital within the Fiona Stanley Hospital precinct. Services currently delivered at the King Edward Memorial Hospital will be relocated 20 km south to the new hospital. Alongside delivery of the new Women and Babies facility, the WA Government is also planning the expansion of services at Osborne Park Hospital and Perth Children’s Hospital.

Works at the New Women’s and Babies Hospital will comprise:

• obstetrics
• gynaecology, and
• neonatal services

At the Osborne Park Hospital site, works will include expansion of obstetrics, gynaecology and neonatal services, as well as a new Family Birthing Centre alongside the hospital.

At the Perth Children’s Hospital, neonatal services will be expanded.

Sydney Metro West will deliver a new direct, 24 kilometre underground rail connection between the CBDs of Parramatta and Sydney.

Tunnelling work along the line is to be delivered under three packages:

• Western Package (Westmead to Sydney Olympic Park)
• Central Package (Sydney Olympic Park to The Bays Precinct), and
• Eastern Package (The Bays Precinct to Sydney CBD).

Subject to planning approvals, the scope of Metro West – Eastern Tunnelling Package comprises:

• 3.5 kilometres of twin metro tunnels between future stations at The Bays and Hunter Street in Sydney CBD
• excavation of caverns and shafts, at The Bays, Pyrmont, and Hunter Street Stations
• turnback tunnels to the east of the Hunter Street Station
• demolition works of existing structures at Pyrmont and Hunter Street sites
• cast in situ linings for all mined station caverns, and

The Hexham Straight Widening will upgrade six kilometres of the Pacific Highway between the Newcastle Inner City Bypass and the Hexham Bridge.

The project's scope includes:

• a six-kilometre upgrade of the Pacific Highway between the Newcastle Inner City Bypass and the Hexham Bridge
• widening from dual carriageway to triple carriageway
• demolition of the existing Ironbark bridge and construction of two new bridges at Ironbark Creek, and
• utility relocations. 

The Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) has an intended transfer capacity of one gigawatt (GW) and is expected to enable the connection of approximately 1.8 GW of new renewable generation and storage projects. The REZ is to be developed in the region between and around Muswellbrook and Newcastle, and the northern areas of the Central Coast.

The scope of the Hunter-Central Coast REZ network infrastructure project includes:

• upgrading approximately 85 sub-transmission lines  
• constructing 18 kilometres of new underground fibre optic in the Upper Hunter  
• building two new energy hubs (substations)  
• augmenting several existing energy hubs (substations), and  
• augmenting underground fibre optic circuits in the Upper Hunter region. 

The project will involve three portions:

• Portion One – The Upper Hunter secondary systems modernisation which will provide 350 megawatts (MW) additional network capacity and was scheduled for completion in late-2025.
• Portion Two – Muswellbrook network rearrangement, Singleton to Kurri 132 kilovolt (kV) link, and installation of a communications link across the Hawkesbury River, which will provide 280 MW additional network capacity and is scheduled for completion in June 2028.
• Portion Three – Construction of a new Antiene 132kV switching station and Antiene to Singleton 132kV link, which will provide 370 MW additional network capacity and is scheduled for completion in July 2028

The capacity of the REZ is expected to increase over time with the retirement of coal-fired power stations, re-purposing of mining land, and the growth of offshore wind.  

The upgraded transit corridor will connect Liverpool to the new Bradfield city centre, enabling connections from Bradfield to WSI airport via Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport.

The Liverpool to Airport Transit Corridor will be approximately 8.1km, comprising:

• 5.9 km along Fifteenth Avenue (between Devonshire Road and Cowpasture Road)
• 2.2 km along Hoxton Park Road (between Cowpasture Road and Banks Road).

The Warrnambool Base Hospital will be redeveloped to provide additional capacity and enable services to expand over time.

The main works will see the construction of a new six-story clinical tower with links to existing buildings on the ground, first and second floors. In addition, there will be approximately 3,000 square metres of refurbishment works to existing buildings across the site.

Stage One of the redevelopment involves two construction phases:

• Early works, which includes the demolition of five existing buildings, and
• Main works, which involves construction of the new six-storey Clincial Tower.

The redevelopment will also include the seperate construction of a new offsite Regional Logistics Distribution Centre (RLDC) for provision of goods and equipment and linen services to public health services in the south west. Construction of the RLDC is expected to begin in late 2022.
