Supporting the growth of communities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To grow our cities and to support the communities within them, the reliance on our economy for the transportation of freight is set to double by 2035 and triple by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern freight rail and heavy haul transport lines support diverse opportunities across our economy. Particularly important to rural communities, freight rail can transport a mix of general cargo, imports and exports, steel, waste, and commodities including grain, coal, and iron ore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freight rail supports a sustainability led future as well. Projects such as the Inland Rail which connects rural markets to some of Australia\u2019s biggest cities takes freight off the road therefore promoting safer transportation, pollution and cost. In fact, it is estimated that one short haul port train takes 41 trucks off the roads.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
