Blayney - Cowra - Demondrille Rail LineLast modified: September 9, 2009 - 12:28 AM
The consortium of rail consultants engaged by the Councils of Blayney, Cowra, Harden, Weddin and Young Shires, visited the area last week for a first-hand track inspection and discussions with possible rail users. Three of the consultants, Max Michell from Sydney, and Frank Lander and Geoff Smith from Adelaide, met with the Mayors of Blayney, Cowra and Weddin Councils at an informal function where both parties were able to exchange important information and discuss the preliminary findings. Following their visit the consultants have reported that the track is generally in good condition, with the main question marks being over a small number of timber bridges and the Carcoar tunnel. Discussions with a number of potential rail users were held and at this early stage the consultants are hopeful that a good case can be mounted to utilise the full length of the line, between Blayney and Demondrille, which will open up access to Port Kembla and possibly even the Port of Melbourne, for businesses in the Central West. It is anticipated that the report will be completed by late October once all the interested parties have been interviewed. Authorised By: T V LOBB GENERAL MANAGER 7 September 2009 Contact details |
