Consultation

We are committed to working with property owners and stakeholders in communities along the project alignment to receive their feedback as we progress our planning.

To date, our team has spoken with many property owners and community members who may experience impacts associated with Inland Rail. We understand that some local residents have concerns about potential impacts to their properties during construction and once Inland Rail is operational.

We received a lot of valuable feedback as part of the project approvals processes.

The Stockinbingal to Parkes project scope of works is within the existing rail corridor and we are committed to working with the local community to find solutions to concerns wherever we can. As a result of community consultation, we have been able to identify the Daroobalgie Road level crossing for upgrade to active and put provisions in place to mitigate associated noise. In addition, we have addressed flooding concerns from neighbouring properties through the installation of new culverts.

Through community consultation we have minimised the impacts of design on heritage sites and structures including Forbes Rail Station, Lachlan River road bridge and the Milvale water tank and continue to provide updates as we progress planning.
