Meet the Contractor event will outline Inland Rail work opportunities for Wagga Wagga businesses
Local and First Nations businesses and community members in Wagga Wagga will have a chance to find out about potential commercial opportunities on the Albury to Illabo section of the Inland Rail project at a ‘Meet the Contractor’ event being held in town tomorrow.
April 9, 2025
Tomorrow’s Meet the Contractor event in Wagga Wagga will provide an opportunity for businesses and individuals to find out about the Inland Rail project.
Representatives of Inland Rail and Albury to Illabo contractor Martinus Rail will be at the session at Uneke Lounge, 140 Fitzmaurice Street, Wagga Wagga, between 9am and 11am on Thursday 10 April.
The event has created great interest in the region, with close to 100 local businesses already applying for the registration-only event – but there are still places available and time to register on the Inland Rail website.
The Meet the Contractor events are intended to provide local and First Nations businesses and communities with a greater understanding of the opportunities available with the project.
Businesses and individuals who are keen to be involved with Inland Rail will hear from Martinus Rail representatives to learn about the types of goods and services that will be required, as well as employment opportunities and general project information.
Construction is due to commence in 2025 on enhancements to the existing rail corridor linking Albury and Illabo, and includes enhancements to rail tracks, footbridges and road bridges, overhead structures, signal structures and level crossings. These will enable the safe operation of double-stacked freight trains through NSW.
Businesses are encouraged to register for their preferred work packages published on the ICN Gateway website.
