Construction on Inland Rail commenced in 2018 building on significant progress made in 2017, including early supporting works. The Programme is slated to deliver improved productivity, shorter transit times, improved network efficiency, reliability and safety, sustainability benefits, and reduced lifecycle costs. It will create up to 16,000 jobs during construction, and 700 ongoing jobs once operational in 2024-25.

Darling Downs and South West is one of the largest RDA regions in the network and covers 23% of Queensland. The vast distances between population centres and the diversity of contributors to the economic well-being of the region, creates significant challenges for any organisation charged with effectively advocating for priority government funding that will have the most benefit to the region strategically. Nevertheless, the Committee of RDA DDSW is committed to playing a pivotal role in ensuring the long-term sustainability of this region.

It is our aim to consult widely and regularly with communities, business, non-profit organisations and all levels of government to articulate local priorities, identify and align resources, engage stakeholders and promote solutions that support the economic growth and development of our single regional community.
