Inland Rail to host C2K community information sessions
The Inland Rail Calvert to Kagaru Project team will share the findings from their recent environmental investigations at a series of interactive community consultation sessions this week.
C2K Project Manager Mr Long Vo said the sessions will allow people to have one-on-one discussions about the issues that matter most to them.
“We are inviting the community to come and ask any questions they have about the project. The team will cover several key areas such as air quality, noise and vibration, flora and fauna, flood modelling, social impact, land use, property and acquisition,” Mr Vo said.
“For people who can’t join us on the day, Inland Rail has released an updated interactive online map to show the most recent proposed alignment from Calvert to Kagaru. People are welcome to add questions or comments on the map and we will respond to those enquiries,” he said.
“The information we have been gathering will be fed into the design process as we continue to work with local councils, government agencies, emergency services and local communities to ensure the optimal design.”
The Scenic Rim Community Consultative Committee is also meeting this week at Peak Crossing Hall in Peak Crossing on Thursday 23 May between 6pm and 8pm.
Scenic Rim Community Consultative Committee Chair, Kathy Baburin, urged residents to reach out to committee members and have their views shared.
“Community members that are unable to attend the consultation sessions and not familiar with the online map, can contact Scenic Rim Committee members to put forward questions for the committee meetings,” Ms Baburin said.
“Your feedback is important to ensure the best outcome for the community. Please contact committee members via the Inland Rail website.” she said.
