Delays and subsequently growing costs of the Rail Baltica project will not be solved by perpetually replacing the project managers and directors supervising them, like it is done now, but only by making a real effort in improving the corporate governance model and resolving the initially built-in conflicts regarding the decision-making authorities and responsibilities of all the parties involved. “As time keeps rushing by, the joint venture in charge of the project has already seen five different CEOs and nearly twenty members of the Management Board, while more than twenty officials have served on its Supervisory Board. However, the approach of focusing on personalities without fundamentally reevaluating the governance model is now very predictably proven to be incorrect, like the Baltic Institute of Corporate Governance (BICG) and others have been warning since the inception of the project. As long as the Baltic governments fail to agree, at the political level, to centralize the Rail Baltica planning, coordination and implementation functions in one company, and as long as they keep channeling political agendas of lesser importance into fundamental operational matters, it is very hard to expect that current project development challenges, including finding solutions for funding, will be solved,”, says Andris Grafs, Vice President Latvia of the BICG, whose commentary was published by Delfi.lv.

The Courier-Mail reports a significant federal investment of $1.15 billion into the Sunshine Coast rail project, accelerating its progress for completion ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Key Points: 1. The federal government's total contribution to the project now totals $2.75 billion, with construction set to begin in 2026. 2. The initial 19-kilometre dual track will run from Beerwah to Caloundra, with plans to extend to Maroochydore, including a stop at Nirimba. 3. The rail line is projected to cut travel time from Brisbane to Caloundra by 45 minutes compared to driving. 4. The project also includes a $467 million funding package for Bruce Highway upgrades. 5. Concerns remain about the line terminating at Caloundra, potentially affecting access to Olympic venues in Kawana. This substantial federal investment not only propels the Sunshine Coast rail project forward but also signifies a broader commitment to enhancing infrastructure and connectivity in the region, promising significant benefits for residents and visitors. #SunshineCoastRail #InfrastructureInvestment #2032Olympics #FederalFunding #TransportConnectivity
