Since the release of the Independent Review of Inland Rail in April, we’ve been working closely with the Australian Government to address recommendations to efficiently progress planning and construction of the project.
In July, Inland Rail Pty Ltd was formally established as a subsidiary company of ARTC and commenced operating with its own governance and delivery arrangements. This includes its own Board of Directors, while a permanent Inland Rail Chief Executive will also be announced soon.
On the ground, strong progress is being made to build Inland Rail, which remains a critical project for the nation to keep pace with the increasing freight demands of Australia’s growing population.
As part of a priority focus to deliver Inland Rail sections between Beverage in Victoria and Parkes in NSW by 2027, recent major milestones include:
- Completion of major construction on the 176km Narrabri to North Star Phase 1 section in NSW, enabling trains to operate between Camurra and North Star
- Commencement of major construction on the Stockinbingal to Parkes section in NSW
- Strong construction progress at multiple sites in Victoria, including Barnawartha North, Glenrowan and Wangaratta.
