Project, construction and partners

Winding through some of the most spectacular countryside in Australia, the Northern Rivers Rail Trail will transform the scenic rail corridor into the region’s newest must-do experience for visitors and locals.

When complete it will connect numerous rural centres from Murwillumbah to Byron Bay and Bangalow to Lismore and Casino.  The Rail Trail will be free to use and provide a safe environment for walkers, cyclists and people using mobility aides to explore the region.

To be delivered in 4 stages, the 132 km rail trail is expected to draw thousands of visitors each year to explore and discover the natural beauty of the Northern Rivers.
