“However, let’s make one thing clear here today: Inland Rail is not a stalled project as was claimed in the media recently. We’re making strong progress on the ground,” Miller said, repeating it was “not a stalled project” three times during his address.,” said Miller, who was appointed CEO in January when Inland Rail was made its own subsidiary of the Australian Rail Track Corporation following last year’s review.
“From within the room and from government messaging the industry will probably feel that whilst there is momentum, it’s momentum in a holding pattern,” Wilkie said. Miller said his organisation was still working to get environmental approvals to get a “far more accurate budget” it could take to the federal government for the cost of the second stage of the project.Despite construction beginning in sections north of Parkes, the Albanese government is yet to guarantee funding or a timeframe for the second stage of Inland Rail to Brisbane.
