Inland Rail is an important nation building project that will transform the way we move freight in Australia.
My goal is to ensure that Toowoomba Region businesses and producers receive the full benefits of this rail line, every step of the way.
If we succeed in delivering this project to its maximum potential, we will increase competitiveness between road and rail in moving product to port.
There is no doubt there have been challenges in delivering this project, but we must be resolute and get it done.
We can unlock Toowoomba Region’s strategic potential as a global hub for food and fibre. We can be a central point to distribute in and out.
I call on the government to pause Inland Rail at Toowoomba, once it crosses the border (Border to Gowrie).
If the government is serious about addressing the environmental, economic and engineering concerns of the Inland Rail, it would support this proposal.
My plan: End Inland Rail at Toowoomba instead of Brisbane, save $9bn, proponents say
