Abstract

In 1854, a select committee of the Legislative Council of the New South Wales Parliament met to consider what measures were needed to improve roads and introduce railways in teh colony. The same year, the Sydney Railway Company collapsed when the costs involved in constructing a railway line between Sydney's city center and outlying district of Parramatta escalated. In these circumstances, the select committess concluded that private enterprises could not succeed in ventures of this nature without government aid and it therefore recommended that 'these important works should be taken up by the Government'.
