Great support from the State Government for our heritage railways.

The Tasmanian government has convened industry leaders to secure the long-term future of the West Coast Wilderness Railway, with strong support declared for the tourist attraction.

Infrastructure and Transport Minister Kerry Vincent said the roundtable focused on sustainability and the railway’s importance to the West Coast community.

Tourism Minister Jane Howlett described the railway as vital to the regional economy and visitor appeal.

Tourism Industry Council Tasmania chief executive Amy Hills said urgent planning was needed to ensure the railway’s future.

SAVE THE DERWENT VALLEY RAILWAY

The Derwent Valley Railway needs to hear from you.
With the current proposal that could see the railway line removed and replaced with a cycleway, we want you to let us know how you feel about this potential loss of a huge heritage asset for the valley.

Please email us with your thoughts as soon as possible, so we can get a clearer picture on what the railway means to local people.

Do you think we should look to make the railway Heritage Listed? Again, let us know what you think.

Don’t wait until it’s too late!

We can be contacted on: [email protected]
