Meet the developers, architects, contractors, civil engineers, government and more behind Victoria's Big Build and infrastructure projects in Melbourne. Discover the latest opportunities and major plans in the pipeline.
Gain access to hundreds of high-level speakers throughout two days of presentations, interactive panel discussions, fireside chats and training workshops.
Inland Rail is one of the most significant infrastructure projects ever undertaken by the Australian Government. It is a nation-building project designed to deliver lasting benefits for generations to come.
Once complete, Inland Rail will form a 1,600-kilometre freight rail network, connecting Melbourne and Brisbane via regional Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland which will enable rail freight to travel between Brisbane and Melbourne in under 24 hours.
Join Ed Walker, Acting Chief Operating Officer from Inland Rail as he provides an insider’s perspective on this project. In this presentation, Ed will give an overview of the challenges and successes to date and provide an update on the work currently being undertaken to deliver the project.
Join us for "Building for Health," where experts will explore the future of hospital and healthcare infrastructure in Melbourne. This panel will focus on innovative design, technology integration, and sustainable practices that enhance patient care and community well-being. Discover how new healthcare facilities are being developed to meet evolving needs, ensuring accessible and efficient services for all residents.
Traditional methods of tracking construction productivity remain heavily reliant on manual data collection by ground crews, an approach that is often incomplete, error-prone, and inefficient. These limitations not only compromise the accuracy of performance insights but also consume valuable time and resources that could be better spent on critical construction tasks.
This session will explore how Visual Intelligence and AI technologies are transforming productivity monitoring on construction sites. By leveraging continuous site recording and automated video analysis, this innovative approach delivers real-time, objective, and actionable insights into site operations. The discussion will showcase how AI-driven models extract key data from video footage, such as progress tracking, activity monitoring, and equipment utilisation, without the need for manual input, resulting in greater transparency, reduced risk, and improved decision-making across the project lifecycle.
The presentation will feature insights from the Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority (VIDA) Hive Research and Development team’s deployment of this technology on the Dublin Rd Level Crossing Removal Project, delivered in partnership with Laing O'Rourke (South Eastern Program Alliance, SEPA), Building 4.0 CRC, and the University of Melbourne Infrastructure Department. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of the benefits, challenges, and future potential of visual intelligence in reshaping construction project delivery.
