Inland Rail is a 1,710km-long under construction freight line connecting Melbourne and Brisbane traversing through Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland provinces.
The dedicated network will facilitate freight connectivity and boost access to several ports in the region, thereby benefitting several local industries.
Additionally, the project will reduce freight transport costs and alleviate road congestion, as well as help in reducing carbon emissions in the environment.
It is one of the major projects undertaken as part of the federal government’s A$75bn ($50.4bn) infrastructure pipeline.
