CLARA - CONSOLIDATED LAND & RAIL AUSTRALIA
CLARA is an Australian private group formed to deliver a program to change Australia. We seek to undertake a re-balancing of our settlement and deliver new ways of imagining, planning and building cities, transport and infrastructure.

This is the CLARA vision for Australia. It is disturbing to note the details of this plan & the secrecy which has accompanied its emergence. 'We will build compact, sustainable, smart-cities connected via high speed rail.'
THE CLARA PLAN
The CLARA Plan is to build up to eight of the world’s most advanced, sustainable, SMART, greenfield cities and connect them with a world class High Speed Rail system between Sydney and Melbourne via Canberra.
