PGA WELCOMES RAIL CONSENSUS

2009-06-26

PGA Grains Chairman Rick Wilson has welcomed WestNet Rail’s decision to keep narrow gauge rail lines open for the coming season and to join the new formal process of finding a better future solution to WA’s rail/road transport structure.

 

“We are pleased that the Minister has held to his promise that there will be no strategic rail closures and PGA is fully supporting the process he has started via the Strategic Grain Network Committee under Professor Fred Affleck for a major review of WA’s rail/road system.”

 

“The pressing need now is for the Federal Transport Minister to release to the WA committee, the Federal Government’s response to the GIG proposal so that we can identify its attitude to future funding for an integrated transport system in WA,” Mr Wilson said.
