Have Your Say On Inland Rail

Residents interested in having a say on the inland rail are urged to make a submission as soon as possible.

Riverina MP, Michael McCormack said people should make sure they don’t miss the opportunity.

“The Inland Rail is nation-building infrastructure, but it has to be done properly so it has the least negative impact on local communities whilst delivering the many benefits that come with such significant infrastructure investment,” Mr McCormack said.

“It is important people do not miss the opportunity to have their say on the section of the project which is relevant to them.

“Both the Albuty-to-Illabo section and the Illabo-to-Stockingbingal section are on the exhibition for community members to view and give feedback.

“If you have any questions about the Inland Rail in your area, please reach out to the organisation through its hotline: 1800 732 761.”

The submissions will be considered by the New South Wales Government’s Department of Planning and Environment.

The Albuty-to-Illabo Environment Impact Statement (EIS) public exhibition period ended on Wednesday, September 28.
