Infrastructure

Freight Routes

The Pacific Highway upgrade, due for completion in 2021, is providing a minimum of four lanes of highway between Sydney and Brisbane. This important freight route provides access to markets in both Brisbane and Sydney.

Inland routes include Summerland Way, which connects Grafton in the South to Kyogle in the north and the Queensland border. Improvements to this route are being explored to provide greater access to inland freight corridors, including the Inland Rail at Bromelton, south-west of Brisbane, and the Toowoomba Airport. You can read studies undertaken to explore the inland route here

The rail link from Syndey to Brisbane has stops to support freight movement through Kyogle, Casino and Grafton.

There is access to air freight via Ballina Byron Gateway, Lismore and Grafton airports.
