Unlocking tourism, jobs, Mobility and regional growth across borders
We’re pushing to reactivate the historic Northern Railway Line from Armidale (NSW) to the Queensland border — linking Glen Innes, Tenterfield, Wallangarra with Warwick, Toowoomba, and Brisbane.
Why Queensland should get on board:

🌱 Sustainable Transport — An eco-friendly alternative to road freight, plus added resilience during weather events.
