FAQ transcript

DID YOU KNOW?

To keep up with Australia’s growing freight demands, there is currently a freight rail line being constructed to connect Melbourne and Brisbane. The extremely long rail corridor, called Inland Rail, will eventually be 1700km and run through regional Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland. Construction began in 2018 and is expected to be completed around 2027.

Some facts and stats:

  • Transit time between Melbourne and Brisbane will be less than 24 hours when the Inland Rail is completed, and rail distance will be cut by 200km.
  • Up to 21,500 direct and indirect jobs will be created during construction.
  • Almost 70% of freight carried on Inland Rail will be for domestic use, like household goods and groceries for supermarkets in our cities and towns, but the rail will also connect more regional producers and farmers to global markets.
