Before the September 2013 federal
election, the outgoing government was prepared to allocate $50 million towards
advancing completion of the Maldon Dombarton rail link.
However,
in a wide ranging speech focussing on rail freight made by the Deputy Prime
Minister and the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, the Hon
Warren Truss MP, on 28 November 2013 at an AusRAIL Conference in Sydney, no mention was made of the Maldon Dombarton link.
WTC
hopes that this was an oversight, and that the new federal government be
prepared to match the offer, in full or in part, of the outgoing government, to
allocate $50 million towards advancing the Maldon Dombarton link.
As
above, we would also like the NSW Government to show more interest in
completing this 35 km rail link.
