Indigenous businesses
The Australian Rail Track Corporation’s (ARTC) Inland Rail Indigenous Participation Plan sets out the organisation’s commitment to Indigenous communities, industry and government across four key areas of Respect and Recognition, Cultural Heritage, Indigenous Employment and Indigenous Business.
Indigenous workers and businesses contributed significantly during the construction of the first section of Inland Rail between Parkes and Narromine. Participation in the supply chain and rail operations for Inland Rail is also expected to be strong throughout regional Indigenous communities as each section comes online.
