Ahead of tenders being issued to help prepare business cases and project definition plans for METRONET projects, local engineering and design consultancies were invited to learn about the upcoming work.

Public Transport Authority Executive Director Owen Thomas led the briefing detailing METRONET's stage one projects, including land use strategies, priorities, timeframes and likely scopes of work, to assist local companies in preparing future bids. 

More than 190 industry representatives heard how these packages of works would be procured and were provided with an opportunity to ask questions of the panel made up of key PTA and METRONET representatives.
