Under the contract, Trans4m Rail will be responsible for the upgrade of 171km of the existing rail line between Narrabri and North Star.

The Narrabri to North Star section of Inland Rail will upgrade 186km of the existing rail corridor and will include the construction of 2.3km of new railway track near Moree, New South Wales.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said: “This nationally significant infrastructure is being built by the skills and expertise of Australian businesses – businesses that invest locally, drive regional employment and give back to communities along this 1,700km corridor of commerce.

“We want to see regional Australia open for business. This $693.8 million contract with Trans4m Rail, along with the delivery of almost 25,000 tonnes of steel over the past 18 months, puts us closer to construction and the benefits of Inland Rail in North West NSW.”
