The design and construct contract is valued at approximately $550 million.

John Holland will deliver 10.5 kilometres of new twin track electrified rail line from Glenfield to Leppington under the contract, including new passenger stations at Leppington and Edmondson Park and a train stabling yard at Rossmore. Incorporated in the civil works is the movement of 1,000,000 cubic metres of earth, the delivery of retaining walls, five overbridges and seven underbridges, including an underpass beneath the Hume Highway.

Work on the project will commence early in 2011 and is expected to be completed in 2015.
