The Mildura Region is well serviced by road,
rail and air transport, with significant capacity
for expansion.
Rail
A broad gauge rail network connects the
Mildura Region with the Ports of Melbourne and
Geelong. Rail carries 95% of grain and 12% of
horticultural products exported from the region.
Silo facilities for bulk grain are focused on rail
lines, with some off-rail facilities. Most grain
from the Mildura Region is exported from the
Port of Geelong. |
The general rail freight service at Mildura
handles about 16,000 tonnes per annum.
The service operates from a Freight Gate
currently located in Seventh St Mildura,
with direct road access.
Road
The Mildura Region’s highway and main road
network are generally of a very good standard,
and all declared roads are approved for
B-Double use.* Mildura Rural City Council
has developed a hierarchy for the local road
network, ensuring capital and maintenance
works target the most important locations. |
