TRAIN is a network of road, rail and
water infrastructure servicing the
Great South West, an area covering
approximately 197,710 ha of regional
Australia.
The Great South West stretches south for 377km from Logan City in Southern Queensland to Coffs Harbour in northern New South Wales, and 189km west from Warwick in southern Queensland to Lismore in Northern New South Wales.
A safe and efficient regional freight
transport and water infrastructure
network that unlocks the productive
potential of southern Queensland and
northern New South Wales, revitalises
regional communities and creates new
jobs, and increases regional Australia´s
role in rebuilding the nation´s economy.
TRAIN supports the ongoing regional recovery of the Global Financial Crisis in Australia. Investing in job creating infrastructure develops opportunities for growth in the current challenging economic climate. Industry will flourish where infrastructure is upgraded or rebuilt in key TRAIN communities and surrounding areas throughout regional Australia. Business and industry expansion will ultimately create jobs and secure existing ones in areas where infrastructure is maximised and easily accessible. Communities will also benefit from increased tourism and recreation facilities, encouraging more money to be spent in these areas.
