Inland Rail N2N – EIS Submission

The Narromine to Narrabri Project is one of 13 projects that, when combined, will make up the Inland Rail Program. The Narromine to Narrabri section under assessment includes 306km of new single-track standard gauge railway and associated rail infrastructure to be established within a new rail corridor. The Project will enable trains to connect with other sections of Inland Rail to the north and south and be constructed to accommodate double-stacked freight trains up to 1,800m long and 6.5m high. The Project traverses five Local Government Areas (LGAs):
• Narromine and Gilgandra LGAs 
• Coonamble and Warrumbungle LGAs
• Narrabri LGA

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared for the Narromine to Narrabri Project. The EIS describes the Project, considers potential environmental, social and economic impacts of the Project, and identifies measures to avoid, minimise and mitigate these impacts.

Inland Rail placed the EIS on public exhibition, allowing community members and other stakeholders to view, provide feedback and submit a formal submission regarding the EIS.

Warrumbungle Shire Council made a submission on the Inland Rail N2N EIS.
