This commitment is part of the Councils’ work with the Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail Inc to champion the development of the rail corridor and represent the expectations of the community. The Department of Transport and Main Roads funded the project and the two Councils oversaw the preparation of the report. The proposed Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail would be developed effectively on two disused railway corridors between Taragoola (Calliope) and Reids Creek (Gayndah). These railway corridors are the Gladstone to Monto corridor (though the study area starts at Taragoola) corridor and the Monto to Gayndah corridor (though the study area ends at Reids Creek).

A rail trail is a multi-use recreation trail running on a disused rail corridor (public land) for non- motorised recreation. There are over 100 established rail trails in Australia, the majority of which are in Victoria. South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, NSW and the Northern Territory also have rail trails albeit a small number in each state. A number are under consideration in Queensland. The Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail Proposal The proposed Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail would be developed effectively on two disused railway corridors between Taragoola (Calliope) and Reids Creek (Gayndah). These railway corridors are the Gladstone to Monto corridor (though the study area starts at Taragoola) corridor and the Monto to Gayndah corridor (though the study area ends at Reids Creek). The railway corridors (together) cover a distance of some 270.75 kilometres – conversion to a rail trail would make this the longest rail trail in Australia.
