Inland Rail gears up for works in Vic


Major construction is set to commence on the Beveridge to Albury section of Inland Rail in 2025, with businesses encouraged to register their interest in supplier opportunities. 

Almost 500 people, including nearly 300 locals, have already been employed on the Beveridge to Albury Tranche 2 project, even before major construction starts. 

Beveridge to Albury Tranche 2 comprises eight construction sites at Benalla, Euroa, Wandong, Seymour, Tallarook and Broadford to achieve clearances to allow the passage of double-stacked freight trains. 

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. 

Before a sod has been turned, local residents have secured 290 jobs, with women in 108 of those roles. 

Site inspections and early works have taken place at all sites and construction work is planned to begin first at Euroa early in the new year, followed by Broadford and Benalla. 

Inland Rail construction partner John Holland is also encouraging businesses to register their interest for upcoming supplier opportunities for works packages on the project. 

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. 

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, go to ICN Gateway. 

Inland Rail Delivery Director Beveridge to Albury, Ed Walker, said, “Next year will be a major year of delivery in Victoria with all our 12 construction sites either commenced or completed. 

“It’s great to see so many locals working on the project and this will only increase when Tranche 2 construction begins. 

“I’m 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.”
