Almost 500 people, including nearly 300 locals, have already been employed on the Beveridge to Albury Tranche 2 Inland Rail project even before major construction starts on the section in 2025 \u2013 delivering a major boost to local economies and communities.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Beveridge to Albury Tranche 2 comprises eight construction sites at Benalla, Euroa,\u00a0Wandong,\u00a0Seymour,\u00a0Tallarook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Broadford<\/a>\u00a0to achieve clearances to allow the passage of double-stacked freight trains.<\/p>\n

From June to October 2024, 485 individuals including design engineers, electricians, geologists, landscape architects, and traffic controllers have been preparing for the building work to commence.<\/p>\n

Ed Walker, Inland Rail Delivery Director Beveridge to Albury said next year will be a major year of delivery in Victoria with all 12 construction sites either commenced or completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to see so many locals working on the project and this will only increase when Tranche 2 construction begins,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m particularly pleased with the number of jobs taken up by women so early in Tranche 2, which is an exciting for the construction and rail industries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before a sod has been turned, local residents have secured 290 jobs and women 108 of the jobs on offer.<\/p>\n

Site inspections and early works have taken place at all sites and construction work is planned to begin first at\u00a0Euroa<\/a>\u00a0early in the new year, followed by\u00a0Broadford<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Benalla<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inland Rail construction partner, John Holland is also encouraging businesses to register their interest for upcoming supplier opportunities for works packages on the project.<\/p>\n

These packages include supply and delivery of handrails and balustrades, mechanical works, painting works, scaffolding works, security guards and vehicles, supply and installation of roofing. These are open until 20 December.<\/p>\n

Packages that are open until 6 January 2025 include line marking, supply and installation of soil nails, prestressed anchors and rock bolts. To learn more,\u00a0go to ICN Gateway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inland Rail is a\u00a0nation building project<\/a>\u00a0that will transform how goods are moved around Australia, first\u00a0connecting<\/a>\u00a0Beveridge to Parkes, NSW, by 2027 before later connecting from Narromine, New South Wales, to Ebenezer, Queensland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
