The Project Reference Group was formed to provide local community input into a like-for-like review of four alignment options for the section of Inland Rail between Yelarbon and Gowrie in Queensland.

This study found the most competitive route for rail was the Melbourne-Brisbane corridor, and that congestion issues in Sydney were a key constraint.

Over the course of this work, we have consulted widely with stakeholders, an activity that will need to continue as Inland Rail is implemented.
