Project description
The Salisbury to Beaudesert Rail business case is investigating the need and viability of a passenger rail connection and will seek to identify the land requirements for a potential future corridor.

3. Business Case Development
The Salisbury to Beaudesert Rail project has completed the Preliminary Evaluation phase, and is now considering the steps to progress the project to corridor protection.
Benefits

Funding
The Australian Government has committed $10 million to the Salisbury to Beaudesert Rail project, with the Queensland Government also committing $10 million.
Timetable
The Australian Government is continuing to work with the Queensland Government to progress business case activities.
