Victoria’s Government announced that consultation with local communities for the re-opening of Maryborough – Ararat railway line has begun.
Consultation with communities along the railway line will commence in November, after the completion of the local government election caretaker period.
The Maryborough to Ararat rail line is being reopened as part of the Murray Basin Rail Project, which will boost the safety, capacity and reliability of freight services in Northern Victoria and better connect primary producers to the state’s major ports.
The project will standardise the entire Murray Basin freight network and increase the loads it can carry, allowing larger trains to move more product with each trip.
A local project office will be established at Maryborough Station from next week, with a member of the project team available every Tuesday and Thursday to discuss the project and answer any questions locals may have.
