Works are continuing to re-establish a passing loop at Tourello, creating an important passing point for passenger and freight trains as part of the Murray Basin Rail Project.

Thank you for your patience while this important work is underway.

What we are doing

Work will continue in 2024 to install new signalling equipment.
Works in Tourello, Creswick and Clunes will include:

• installing new signalling equipment, including signals, underground signal cables, and axle counters to detect trains, and vegetation removal to allow for these works
• installing remote operated point machines at both ends of the new loop
• construction of access tracks to enable maintenance activities.

Works may take place 24 hours a day.

If you have any feedback or comments on the works at Maryborough, please submit these via the online form by Friday March 29, 2024.

What to be aware of

You may notice an increase in truck movements in the area while we transport materials and equipment to and from site.

There may also be some additional noise and dust in the area during construction.

We use a range of measures to minimise dust from construction activities, including staging works to minimise exposed areas and using water carts to wet down work areas when necessary.

We monitor noise levels to ensure they are within the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) noise control guidelines.
