Inland Rail’s latest social performance figures have shown that Victorian communities are winning hundreds of construction jobs and supplier contracts.
Since October 2022, more than $25 million has been spent with 128 local Victorian suppliers.
Inland Rail has contracted local business to provide earthworks, accommodation and catering, environmental consultancy, cultural heritage services, equipment hire, electrical services, workforce training, labour hire, office supplies, PPE supply, precast concrete products, signalling equipment supply and equipment hire.
Local construction workers are also snapping up employment opportunities on the project in Victoria with 397 (90 peer cent) of the 438 jobs offered to date acquired by local Victorian residents.
Carpenters, concreters, electricians, welders, linesman, riggers, steel fixers, track workers, traffic controllers, engineers, plant operators, surveyors, signal technicians, arborists and truck drivers are in demand on the project.
In Victoria, Inland Rail work will be carried out at 12 project sites between Beveridge and Albury to enable double-stacked freight trains to pass safely and ensure everyday products can be delivered faster and more reliably around Australia.
Albury-based contractor HC Civil is one of the local companies to win work on the Inland Rail project. It provides civil engineering services and has expanded its business to 10 employees to meet growing demand.
Its managing director, Brenton Simpson, said having a large infrastructure project within an hour of where the business was located was a massive opportunity for it to invest in local people.
“We have 10 employees, machines and earthmoving equipment employed on the Inland Rail sites at Glenrowan, Barnawartha North and Wangaratta,” he said.
“This project has given us the opportunity to invest in our business, invest in people, invest in gear, invest in training and staff.
“We would directly support eight to 10 businesses in the Wangaratta and Albury region from Inland Rail work and it’s important we continue to do so, to support local jobs.”
