Earlier this month, Trans4m Rail was awarded the contract to deliver construction of the first phase of work for this section, which involves the upgrade of 171 kilometres of existing rail line between Narrabri and North Star.
Trans4m Rail is now looking to appoint local sub-contractors and workers for certain parts of the construction works and next week will be holding information sessions at North Star, Moree and Narrabri for locals to learn more about regional employment and supply opportunities.
