This month marks eight years since the formation of our Western Program Alliance (WPA) — a milestone that reflects not just time, but the scale, complexity and collaboration behind some of Victoria’s most transformative rail projects.
WPA is a key player in the Victorian Government’s bold commitment to remove 110 of the state’s most dangerous and congested level crossings by 2030.
With us in the alliance are: the Level Crossing Removal Project (our customer), Arup and Mott MacDonald (designers), MTM and V/Line (network operators).
Together we have delivered:
- 10 level crossing removals across live operational rail corridors
- Multiple integrated station precincts built for long-term community benefit
- Major rail duplications in Dandenong and Altona to boost capacity
- A state-of-the-art stabling yard supporting V/Line’s Velocity fleet
The collaborative contracting model has been fundamental to WPA’s success — enabling agile decision-making, design innovation, and delivery with minimal disruption to passengers and communities.
Eight years on, WPA continues to set the benchmark for high-trust, shared-risk alliances in infrastructure delivery.
