The Griffith Council (New South Wales) announced that Colin Rees Group will develop a new rail hub at Widgelli.
“This is a fully privately funded development with two long sidings and a modern container handling set up on a concrete pad. We see the growing freight volumes from the Riverina benefiting from a modern facility and the planned business park that will be part of this development,” Cameron Jackson, Chief Operating Officer for the Colin Rees Group said.
Widgelli Rail Hub will also be home to the Regional Connect rail shuttle that plans to move freight from the branch lines around Griffith back to the main line at Junee and Cootamundra for pick up by main line services.
The Widgelli Business Park is also being established on land next to the rail hub. In a venture with the Amberley Group, which is operated by a farming family from Griffith, both the Rail Hub and the Business Park will be a cooperative development between these two businesses.
Colin Rees owns and operates the rail hub at Ettamogah on the outskirts of Albury.
