The Casino to Bentley section of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail in northern NSW is underway.
With alignment designs now completed, Richmond Valley Council has undertaken the first stages of construction. This includes work completed on the Old Casino Railway Station entry and a pavement trial section constructed.
The rail corridor has been cleared, access and maintenance tracks are nearing completion, and further construction program starts in earnest this month.
Tendering for the bridge works goes to market this month, with construction on these structures due to start in September.
Council is finalising the conservation management plan for the Old Casino Railway Station. This is a important piece of work to revitalise the site, which is home to the Casino Mini Rail and forms the southern head of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail from Casino to Murwillumbah.
Council will undertake further landowner and stakeholder consultation in the coming weeks. The construction program runs through to December 2023.
