Adelaide rail freight movements study: final report

The key purpose of the study was to provide the Australian government with a better understanding of the freight rail movements across the Adelaide region. Specifically, the study was to determine how Adelaide's freight rail network can be made to work better, including assessing options of relocating the city's main freight line to the north of the Adelaide Hills. The study was to analyse the current and future rail movements to, from and through Adelaide and determine the capacity of the existing line to meet these demands. Options which would ensure the future freight rail demand can be met were to be examined and the impact of the current rail line on the community was to be assessed.
