The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) is inviting the community to have their say on the $41 million Southern Highlands Overtaking Opportunities project that will deliver overtaking opportunities for trains at Werai in the Southern Highlands, and Joppa Junction near Goulburn.
When completed, the Southern Highlands Overtaking Opportunities project will allow for more efficient movement of freight and passenger rail services, increasing flexibility, reducing delays and congestion on the ARTC network, particularly for freight and passenger services on the crucial Sydney to Melbourne rail line.
Two Review of Environmental Factors (REF) assessments, which identify and assess the environmental impacts of the project at the Werai and the Joppa Junction sites respectively, will be on public exhibition from Wednesday 19th October to Wednesday 2nd November 2022.
The REFs will be available to read online and in person at the following locations:
- Goulburn Mulwaree Library: 184/194 Bourke St, Goulburn NSW 2580
- Moss Vale Library: Civic Centre, 68 Elizabeth Street, Moss Vale NSW 2577
