Funded by the Australian Government, the $150 million Maroona to Portland Re-sleepering Project will strengthen the 173km stretch of railway in Victoria.
The Rail Freight Alliance welcomes the joint announcement from The Deputy Prime Minister
and The Federal Member for Wannon, Dan Tehan’s commitment to fund a full business case
to evaluate the upgrading of the Maroona to Portland Line.
The $150 million investment in the freight rail line between Portland and Maroona will be a jobs bonanza for the region, according to Port of Portland chief executive officer Greg Burgoyne.
