2,423km. Zero tunnels. Two-leg, two-deck MMC-VB viaduct. Ten integrated services on a single elevated structure. Stage 1 (freight viaduct) commissioned early — generating revenue while Stage 2 (maglev) is built above the running freight line. The first full continental corridor in the Sovereign Build Corporation programme, and the deployment that establishes the Newcastle Megafactory.
| Corridor | Melbourne → Tullamarine → Bendigo → Albury → Wagga → Canberra → Western Sydney Airport → Muswellbrook → Tamworth → Armidale → Deepwater → Stanthorpe → Wellcamp → Brisbane |
| Length | 2,423km |
| Maximum slope | 0.7° |
| Tunnels | Zero |
| Configuration | MMC-VB — dual-leg, two-deck viaduct |
| Stage 1 deck | Electrified freight at 6m above ground — three tracks |
| Stage 2 deck | Maglev passenger at 17m above ground — 500+ km/h |
| Services | Maglev passenger, electric freight (3 tracks), HVDC transmission (72GW), natural gas pipeline, hydrogen pipeline, sovereign fibre, community water, hyperloop reservation, groundwater bores, corridor solar |
| Pylons | 96,920 (~25m span) |
| Modules | ~5.2 million precast concrete modules |
| Cost — Stage 1 (freight viaduct) | Pending review |
| Cost — full MMC-VB | Pending review |
| Production engine | Newcastle Megafactory + ~10–12 Spoke injection stations along corridor |
| Revenue start | Stage 1 freight commissioning, before maglev structure complete |
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.
Memos directly applicable to Phase 0. System-level memos (Megafactory specification, transmission tower sizing, foundation anchor architecture) are catalogued in the Library; while their reference deployment is Phase 0, the engineering they describe applies to the MMC system across all deployments.
All memos are listed for reference only and are pending publication review. Detail pages and PDFs will be made accessible after each memo's review process completes. To request advance access for partner discussion, please contact the team.
The following MMC system memos use Phase 0 as their reference corridor for worked examples, module counts, and economics. They describe the MMC platform, not Phase 0 specifically — but the numbers in them are anchored to the Phase 0 deployment.
Additional Phase 0 project documentation is in active engineering development — including the MMC-VB viaduct engineering memo (companion design memo for the dual-leg two-deck Phase 0 configuration), the Phase 0 corridor route specification, the Phase 0 construction methodology and sequencing, and the Phase 0 financial and economic case. These will be added to this project page as released.
