• A big step forward was taken last week for the rail trail project

• The new Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) passed a motion at its Wednesday 23 March meeting to support in principle the Molonglo Rail Trail as proposed in our feasibility study. Further action is dependent on resolution of the lead contamination issue along the rail line.

• Council will explore funding for the rail trail development plan and undertake the necessary community and State government consultation to progress planning and development.

• Construction of a sealed trail on the old rail line could contribute to solving the lead contamination problem.
