Capital Projects
The future is bright for freight rail in the State thanks to the Australian Government and the Tasmanian Government’s continued investment in the Tasmanian Freight Rail Revitalisation Program (TFRRP).
The Australian and Tasmanian Governments’ forward commitment to rail transport in Tasmania and rail network upgrades is without precedent and will ensure that the State’s heavy industry and freight forwarders have access to safe and efficient export supply chains into the future.
By 2028 this joint commitment will have seen $455.2 million, over four tranches, invested into rebuilding the Tasmanian Rail Network. Tranche One was completed on time and budget in 2019, Tranche Two in 2023, and Tranche Three was successfully finalised in 2024.
TasRail is currently delivering the fourth tranche of the TFRRP. Like previous tranches it continues to support local construction, and economic growth.
Direct dividends of this ongoing capital program also include:
- More than 150 people employed in the civil construction industry as TasRail works with its highly valued contractors to deliver the program.
- Tangible benefits for the Tasmanian industries that rely on rail logistics for their supply chain solutions, including an overall freight availability of 98%.
