Inland Rail to establish weekly drop-in sessions for Broadford residents
Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) Inland Rail will establish a weekly drop-in session at Broadford for residents to come and ask questions and gather information about the Inland Rail project in the Mitchell Shire.
May 3, 2023
From May 3, ARTC Inland Rail staff will be available every Wednesday between 10am-1pm at the Country Soul Café, 1/70 High St, Broadford to talk about the bridge replacements planned for the Short Street, Hamilton Street and Marchbanks Road sites.
Inland Rail is Australia’s largest freight rail infrastructure project and will better connect businesses, manufacturers and producers to national and global markets and create new opportunities for Australian industries and regional communities. Three Broadford bridges will be replaced to allow trains carrying double-stacked containers to pass safely underneath.
Ed Walker, ARTC Victoria and South Australia Projects General Manager said:
‘Our team will be available every week for the community to find out more and provide feedback about the Inland Rail project.
‘The community have already told us safety, connectivity and amenity are important to them and this will be reflected in the designs required to allow double-stacked freight trains to safely travel through Michell Shire.
‘When the designs are released, the community will have further opportunity to provide feedback and input into the look and feel of the sites, including urban design elements.
‘We look forward to the community dropping in to find out more about this important nation building project.’
