Project Description
Inland Rail is an important project to meet Australia’s growing freight task, improve road safety and help decarbonise our economy. Inland Rail involves enhancing approximately 1,000km of existing railway track and constructing 600km of new track passing through regional Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
The Illabo to Stockinbingal (I2S) project involves the construction of 37km of new rail corridor and
2km of upgraded track just east of Illabo and at Stockinbingal, NSW. This new section of rail corridor will provide a direct route from Illabo to Stockinbingal through to the existing Forbes line. This will bypass Cootamundra and the steep and windy Bethungra Range with its Bethungra Spiral.
