Consultation
Local communities and landowners have been contributing to our understanding of this section of Inland Rail since early 2016.
Since the proposed alignment was approved, we have been meeting with local communities, landowners and stakeholders to discuss next steps.
We encourage you to get involved in the process and invite you to contact the project team for more information at any time.
The Border to Gowrie draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is on public display from Saturday 23 January 2021 to Monday 19 April 2021.
