Progress
The Illabo to Stockinbingal section involves constructing 39km of new rail track in the Junee and Cootamundra regions of New South Wales.
This new section of rail corridor will provide a direct route from Illabo to Stockinbingal through the existing Forbes line. This will bypass Cootamundra and the steep and winding Bethungra Range with its Bethungra Spiral.
John Holland is our construction partner for the Illabo to Stockinbingal section.

Watch a fly-through of the project
Get a birds-eye view of the Illabo to Stockinbingal project, as of June 2026. The fly-through is for illustration purposes and for discussion during community consultations and subject to change.
Stockinbingal 3D fly-through
In the Stockinbingal area, we’re building new road and rail infrastructure to make double-stacked freight transport more efficient. This includes a new level crossing, bridges, culverts, and a grade separation and road realignment on Burley Griffin Way, in Stockinbingal.
This will deliver safer road/rail interfaces, improve infrastructure reliability and strengthen regional connectivity for the future.
