Australia’s $15 billion Inland Rail project from Melbourne would be more than $4 billion cheaper if it used Toowoomba as a hub for local freight rather than extending to Brisbane, a study shows.
International freight, however, would be transported by rail from Toowoomba, through the Surat Basin, then exported from Gladstone, not Brisbane, the study released in February by AEC Group consultants shows.
Gladstone is asserting its case to be considered the destination of Australia’s now $15 billion Inland Rail project.
The Queensland Government has locked in $200 million of funds for a new inland highway, which it says will be spent regardless of whether the Federal Government decides to chip in the additional $800 million.
The Inland Freight Route was announced as the âsecond Bruce Highwayâ by the Labor Party during the 2020 State Election campaign in October, and will include major upgrades to the Gregory, Dawson and Carnarvon Highways to allow larger road trains to travel the route.
Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey said TMR will conduct planning across the entire route from Mungindi to Charters Towers to find the deficiencies in the existing road and determine projects that will be needed to address them.
