RAIL TO RECOVERY
The 2021 PWI Convention will explore the role of rail infrastructure in the post COVID-19 economic recovery of NSW and the broader nation. It will look at how existing and future infrastructure projects can play a pivotal role in our economic recovery across NSW (metropolitan and regional), and the importance of innovation, technology and sustainability in this process. It will also consider the potential limitations or restrictions that may impede this progress, and how these restrictions may be overcome.
