The 2023 Murray River Crossings (MRC) Strategic Business Case (SBC) assessed options for improving the 32 road crossings between New South Wales and Victoria. Under Andrew’s leadership as Project Director, the SBC and its Supplement focused on safety, efficiency, connectivity, and heritage considerations.

Andrew was Program Director for the cost reduction initiative known as the Independent Catalyst for Differential Cost Savings (ICDCS). The ICDCS program was a unique opportunity for the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) to partner with industry and to leverage off local experience and global networks to find innovative ways to reduce the cost of building and operating Queensland’s transport infrastructure
