Statement from National Intermodal

6 May 2026

Today’s announcement regarding Inland Rail reinforces the importance of Beveridge as a long‑term, world‑class intermodal precinct. National Intermodal’s delivery of this project remains unchanged, with Stage 1 construction underway and progressing as planned.

The Australian Government confirmed its focus on the existing freight network, continuing the Inland Rail project to Parkes, while preserving the long‑term corridor and future intermodal terminal opportunities in Queensland.

Planning will continue in key locations, including Parkes and southeast Queensland, to ensure future options remain open, alongside targeted investment in upgrades to the existing rail network.

National Intermodal continues to play an important role in supporting Australia’s supply chain resilience.
