The full workforce projections associated with the contract signed 12 December 2019 with Alstom is not yet know with a number of sub-supplier contracts for the METRONET railcars still to be finalised, noting that at least 50 per cent of the railcars will be built locally compared with 2 per cent under the former Liberal-National Government.
