The High Speed Rail Authority (the Authority) is a newly established independent Australian Government Corporate Commonwealth entity responsible for overseeing the development of a high-speed rail network along the east coast of Australia.

East coast high speed rail will be a nationally significant project for Australia and the Authority will support the Australian Government in planning for the future by working closely with state and territory governments and other key stakeholders to develop high speed rail between major cities and key regional centres on order to advance social, economic and population outcomes. A high speed rail network will allow passengers to travel between major and regional cities at speeds exceeding 250 kilometres per hour.

The first priority of the Authority will be the Sydney to Newcastle corridor with an Australian Government $500 million commitment to start corridor acquisition, planning and early works in consultation with the NSW Government.

The Authority is overseen by an independent Board.
