The Australian Government has accepted the findings of Dr Schott AO report, in full or in principle - The Delivery of Inland Rail: An Independent Review. Copies of the report and the Government's response are available. Information on this website is currently under review.
The Australian Government will deliver an enhanced Inland Rail, with more construction of bridges, culverts and viaducts that will improve safety and efficiency of the 1,700km rail line.
Construction has commenced on the second section of Inland Rail between Narrabri and North Star (N2NS) following the turning of the first sod at Moree in North West New South Wales today.
The Stockinbingal to Parkes (S2P) and Albury to Illabo (A2I) sections of Inland Rail are progressing as the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) has appointed engineering firm, WSP Australia, to deliver the reference and detailed design and accompanying approvals for the projects.
The week commencing 19 October 2020, our regional liaison officers joined staff from the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) Inland Rail community engagement team for community drop-in sessions along the Narromine to Narrabri (N2N) alignment.
The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Narrabri to North Star (N2NS) project has been approved by federal and state regulatory bodies, providing the project with the green light for Inland Rail construction.
