Gladstone mayor Matt Burnett has a message for the federal government about the 1700 kilometre, $15 billion Inland Rail project, which is struggling for traction and community understanding in Queensland.
At present, the planned route for the much-discussed Port of Melbourne to Port of Brisbane freight rail link ends at the already-congested Acacia Ridge freight terminal.
Gladstone says its port offers more flexibility and extra freight capacity than the Port of Brisbane.

Australia’s $15 billion Inland Rail project from Melbourne would be more than $4 billion cheaper if it used Toowoomba as a hub for local freight rather than extending to Brisbane, a study shows.
International freight, however, would be transported by rail from Toowoomba, through the Surat Basin, then exported from Gladstone, not Brisbane, the study released in February by AEC Group consultants shows.
Gladstone is asserting its case to be considered the destination of Australia’s now $15 billion Inland Rail project.
