South coast freight spur. From Canberra (a Phase 0 corridor node) the Phase 0-7 spur runs east to Eden on the NSW far south coast — Australia's only natural deepwater port between Sydney and Melbourne. MMC-VB dual-leg two-deck configuration: freight is the driver. Maglev passenger service comes for free on the upper deck once the freight corridor is built.
Phase 0-7 connects Canberra to Eden — Australia's only natural deepwater port between Sydney and Melbourne. The corridor's purpose is freight: opening Eden as a deepwater container and bulk port serviced directly from the Phase 0 spine via Canberra. MMC-VB dual-leg two-deck — same standard as Phase 0 and Phase 0-1. The maglev passenger service rides on the upper deck at marginal cost once the freight corridor is built.
Route alignment is indicative. The corridor shown on the project map is a suggested alignment based on the current planning case. Final geometry is subject to detailed engineering — terrain survey, geotechnical analysis, environmental and cultural heritage assessment, and stakeholder consultation will determine the final alignment at detailed design.
System-level engineering applicable to Phase 0-7 is catalogued in the Library. The Phase 0 corridor establishes the Newcastle Megafactory and the construction methodology that all subsequent phases inherit. Project-specific Phase 0-7 documentation will be added here as the engineering matures.
More Information Coming Soon
Detailed engineering for this phase is in active development. Spec table, route geometry, configuration confirmation, and project-specific engineering memos will be added here as released. Contact the SBC team for engagement on this phase.
Project-specific Phase 0-7 documentation — including detailed route specification (Canberra–Cooma–Eden alignment options), Eden port interface, freight demand modelling, and the MMC-VB construction methodology — is in preparation and will be added here as released.
