Last Thursday the government passed legislation to close sections of the Casino to Murwilumbah railway line. The Casino to Bentley section will be closed and the Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek section and the railway tracks ripped up for a rail trail.
Beth Shelley, Chairperson of the Northern Rivers Railway Action Group says, “The government and Labor have stated there has been extensive community consultation to find out if this community wants to have trains running again or a bike path. This isn’t true. There has been no proper community consultation at all, except for the Rail Trail group’s endless lobbying”.
Abigail Boyd, NSW Greens MLC, stated, “When properly built, funded and designed, public transport has immeasurable social, economic and environmental benefits for the health and wellbeing of entire communities. The delivery of services such as the passenger rail on the Casino to Murwillumbah line should be considered a core part of the job of government”.
