Top 10 Biggest Megaprojects in Australia 

Thank you so much for 1,000,000 subscribers! 🥳 It feels really surreal to reach so many people with our videos. We are currently producing a 'special' video, however it will take a few more weeks. Thanks again!

As an Aussie, most of the Australian mega projects get completed but at about ten times the original forecast prices.

I live in Melbourne, the one thing that's always happening is construction, its everywhere but it always seems like it never gets done. Another topic you could talk about is the Melbourne airport train that keeps getting pushed back.

I'm a proud Aussie, but we are notorious for over budget everything

Wow didn’t think little old Adelaide would be featured on this amazing channel! 😮

Awesome to see some the big projects here in Australia on your channel. I've been working on the Snowy project for over 2 years now.

I live in Sydney and the Sydney metro west project is going ahead after the new state government had seriously looked at canceling the project and another thing is that an additional station is likely to be built between parramatta and Sydney Olympic Park at camellia

Thanks for doing Australia and congrats to 1 million subscribers

100Billion for 100km of metro railways.. i think theyre better off investing that in something else lol

Not a single project that is either on time or within budget..

the solar panel monstrosity in NT was cannelled years ago

Good Content bro we love it ❤❤❤❤

I can't wait for your videos to come out ❤

We watched one of your videos in geography class. They really liked it :)

5 minute cities are a sinister test run for 15 minute cities.

Congratulations on achieving a big milestone ❤🎉 2 million soon🙌

Seriously the best content, thanks for making this, legend.

Amazing work by the Aussies 😮 Thanks 4 sharing this.

congratulations on 1M Subscribers :D I love yours content c:

Have you seen the Australian series Utopia? It will explain a lot about how these projects are run.

Amazing video! Congrats on reaching 1M subscribers! 🥳

Yes ! Go Ahead Australia- You need these mega projects!

Love your videos and are so informative Congratulations on 1 Million Subscribers

With 3 levels of Government per Australian , it's a wonder any progress is made at all. Add to that nimbyism, nepotism, land rights/native title, enquiries , royal commissions and other corruption and incompetence, our glacial developments are set to remain just that, with exponential expenses to match, unfortunately.

Congrats with 1 Million subscribers 🎉Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪 😊

Wow, this video really highlights how unproductive our government is, with so many of these projects being delayed!

CONGRATS ON 1M SUBSCRIBERS!!! 🥳❤

Congratulations 🎊 for 1 million subscribers

Great Content!! ♥️ from 🇨🇦🇨🇦

I live in sydney. It's surreal how close this video is too government ads. Most of these projects don't get built due to constant privatisation. If we had a decent ministry of public building works and infrastructure, maybe we could actually do all this stuff

Congratulations for reaching 1M summit , 5M soon❤

Brisbane upgrading its city infrastructures for the 2032 Olympics is another mega project in Oz!

Congratulations on 1m subs mate 🇦🇺🐾✌️🦘👍 luv it

The Main reason these projects go WAY over budget in Australia is due to the attitude of some Companies and Unions. Iv done inspections on some of these projects and Its a very Very relaxed industry, to the point they only use certain people they can trust to drag out the project. The standby times for these project workers is Utterly Unbelievable. Its actually embarrassing to watch and be apart of, While on site Iv been TOLD there's no hurry and have been left waiting for 4 hours to do a 30min job plus the 1hr (over the top) induction. These companies seem to think because the Government is funding the project, They can draw it out due to the fact its an unbankruptable source of money. Unions continually interrupt projects due to ridiculous stop work weather conditions and pay disputes, despite them getting paid for 8+hrs a day when actually doing nothing in some cases. Unions are the cause of Australia's car manufacturing industry to vanish. These Projects will go the same way.

Congratulations on a million subscribers well done

As an Aussie, we deal with very costly power bills, my blood almost boiled when you said a giant solar farm will feed power to Singapore. What about us?

Congrats to 1 Mio Subs :)

It’s taken 2 years for a 6m bridge to be built in my local suburb. It cuts off a significant road and the residents are furious as its completion has been pushed back again. I can’t imagine how long it would take for these mega projects if they can’t finish a 6 meter bridge 😂

A massive congratulations from me. I think i subscribed last year.

You should do one for the Philippines too! They’re having a massive upgrade in their infrastructures including a subway, 2 new eco-friendly mega cities, bridges, 2 new international airports and highways.

As you may or may not be looking for other projects, the Province of Saskatchewan has some large projects coming in the near future. New Downtown Event Centre including a new and larger arena for sporting event like the local WHL team The Blades and NLL team The Rush, and bigger concert venues. A new library is being built downtown as well. A brand new Bus Rapid Transit System is being included as well to help with transporting locals and visitors in and out of the downtown area and more. With the booming economy of Saskatchewan, even more possible large, even mega projects could be in the works. Hope to see it in your videos one day.

In many renewables projects, Australia is killing koalas 🩸 🐨 to save the polar bears 🐻‍❄️

Nice video

Cool video 👌🏼

Looks amazing can’t wait to have a coffee at Southbank.

Looks like Australia is working on some gigantic projects indeed!

Typical cost blowouts for Aus - to the benefit of a few

Who edit your videos it's literally amazing

Thankyou ❤️

Crikey! I didnt know my country had all these megaprojects Wow mate🇭🇲

Amazing peojects

I would say you as an American, know more about what’s going on in Australia than most Australians! Thanks for sharing - it’s always good to be informed of such goings on 😀

Great video, hope you can make one for Africa soon

For the Singapore solar power cable, it's likely the biggest problem will be getting indigenous Australian approval for the overland and littoral parts of the cable. The history of laying gas pipelines, including offshore says there will be very vigorous opposition to it even happening, or if it does happen then exorbitant 'compensation' in the billions will have to be paid.

So we're going to power Singapore before Australia?

If You Can Can You Do Canada? Thanks. Subcribed. Great Video!!!

The photos shown around 07:35 are not of Badgery's Creek. They are old photos of the existing airport at Mascot.

You said Canberra wrong you say it like “Can-Bra”

We went from the world's food bowl to the world power bulb

Great Video!. Can You Do Canada If You Can? Thanks. Also Subcribed.

I really hope the SRL goes ahead, we really need this in Melbourne, especially for such a fast growing city

Can't fathom why we would build a huge solar plant to power Singapore before we power ourselves???

Great.

Star of the South sounds like a truly exciting project! 🤩

Can't wait until this shows up in his other series.

I can't wait for your videos to come out

No Brisbane Olympics upgrades, Second Bruce Highway, Cross River rail, Coomera connector or H2-Hub. QLD obviously not part of Australia

Haha cool. I work for Project 9, Square Kilometre Array. 🥳

please help to clear up the winton solar power project in victoria...is it up and running, is viable

I thought that the Middle East were the ones with the insane mega projects and I never thought Australia would do the same 🤔

Yes!

As someone who needs to use a wheelchair and have stayed at the women and Children’s Hospital. It’s good news to get an overhaul. The beautiful old building will stand. Thankfully they put the new one somewhere else, but it definitely was 18th century tech and access that’s for sure I was actually thinking last night they should build a massive water pipeline from Queensland to central Australia to redistribute water and I’ve always thought of a Solar farm in central Australia also. Thanks for making this video.

I would love to see one of the Turkish language subtitle options in your next videos.😉

I live here in Queensland and I didn’t know about most of these.

I’ve seen these green buildings in Dying Light 2. Pretty cool.

very inaccurate doesn't even mention Brisbane!

I’m from Melbourne. Love my city ❤️🇦🇺

Entirely missing is Perth's $10.5billion Metronet rail project.

You missed the mega new rail system getting built in Brisbane. Includes 2 tunnels under the river and new staions etc.. it's a giant project!

Make a video about the 10 biggest mega projects in Greece

The Melbourne SRL is a great concept, but never have I ever needed to travel via the proposed route. But I might want to after its built! I would rather have a mini underground light rail A-B sections in multiple hotspots. Like Brunswick - Fitzroy - Abbotsford - South Yarra

Can you make similar video for UK next. Thanks

You overlooked Queensland's massive infrastructure upgrade, including $70b over a decade upgrading the electricity network and the 10-year Olympic Games program, which includes underground and surface rail, motorways, stadiums, villages and much more. Qld is booming.

I think they should be completed as they move Australia ahead in advanced transport networks, state of the art power systems and is a good development of infrastructure. Just employ more competent accountants, engineers and project managers to keep all facets of each project on track and within forecasted budgets. We also needs governments to look beyond their natural 4 year term.

I’m about to start work in western Sydney airport, on the runway. 4 years to go!

I'm currently working on snowy 2.0. I'm not sure it will ever be finished tbh. I've also worked on two other mega construction jobs here. Barrow Island and Wheatstone.

I think the south road T2D (Torrens to Darlington) tunnel projects in Adelaide should’ve been one of the mega projects on here

Southbank in Melbourne is more like A collection of concrete and glass termite mounds than a place humans would want to live. I should know, I worked as a tower crane dog man on many of these buildings. These towers plunge straight down to the traffic nightmare that is city road with a thin strip of bitumen footpath on either side of it. There are no trees, no cafes, no pubs. The “entertainment precinct” adjacent to it is a casino and a series of overpriced restaurants that all face onto the Yarra river but present nothing but a series of entrances to underground car park entrances towards Southbank and that I would feel extremely uncomfortable walking home to my steel and glass termite mound any time after midnight. The docklands precinct is possibly even worse. It’s cold bleak and windswept and utterly lacking in anything resembling a human space and poorly serviced by public transport. And has the world’s second most stupid Ferris wheel presiding over it. That said, Melbourne’s older inner suburbs and CBD are truly beautiful. Broad tree-lined streets, classic architecture and gorgeous parks. Our state governments and councils need to look around and see the parts of our city that work and stip receiving paper bags stuffed full of money for rubber stamping permits. And I’ll end this little rant by describing what really triggered it in the first place. The Eureka tower, which until fairly recently was not just Australia’s but also the world’s tallest residential apartment block has a 24 hour convenience store at its foot. For months on my way to work in the mornings I saw two teenage homeless girls and their dog camping there while nearly a hundred floors above them was one of the most expensive penthouse apartments in the southern hemisphere. To me it served as a sort of living bar graph describing the disparity in wealth distribution in the modern world. I am far from a bleeding heart lefty but I feel that there’s a certain point where the gap between the haves and the have nots becomes a danger with regards to social cohesion. We crossed that point sometime in the early 90’s. anyway, rant ended, time for bed…

Congrats on getting a million subs, Queens wharf is another mega project that is happening

Get it done.

Make one vídeo about São Paulo or Brazil

So Brisbane not mentioned in any major infrastructure projects and we have the Olympics in 2032?

Why would we build a solar plant in a place that has the least amount of our citizens, to supply another country, when we haven’t done it for OUR country?!

My company has been doing the Melbourne metro the past few years and isn’t stopping until completion it won’t be shut down, got a lot done and will connecting the rail to Melbourne airport.

Melbourne needs airport link first

When you said "of the coast of Melbourne " I thought you meant Port Phillip Bay and not hundreds of kilometres away in eastern Bass Strait.

immediately when he said that the south bank is gonna have 2 towers, i lost it

What is a Ker loam alder?

Cross River Rail in Brisbane.

I think many would struggle to name a mega projects that didn't end up providing a tangible benefit in the long term. What seems expensive today will be twice as much in 10 years' time, it seems.
