en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Australian federal government and the Victorian state government have jointly invested $55 million to build a multimodal freight hub in Ballarat, a central Victorian city. The project is scheduled to be completed and operational by the end of this year.

The Ballarat Intermodal Freight Hub is a core infrastructure component of the Ballarat West Employment Zone (BWEZ), providing direct access to the broad-gauge Ballarat-Ararat rail line for tenant companies George Weston Foods (GWF) and CHS Broadbent.

According to the government, the new rail infrastructure will support the transport of approximately 15,000 containers annually via rail to the Port of Melbourne, with capacity reserved for future growth in freight volumes.
