    Submission to the Senate Inquiry into the Management of the Inland Rail Project by the Australian Rail Track Corporation and the Commonwealth Government November 2019 1 | Page 2 Senate Inquiry into the Inland Rail Project managed by the Australian Rail Track Corporation Introduction I am a member of the rural farming community at Illabo in the South West Slopes/Riverina Region of New South Wales. I have lived in this Community for the last 60 odd years and currently own a generational property into its 4th term. Our family farm is situated adjacent to the Main Southern Railway line and the Olympic Highway. This gives me an important insite into living adjacent to an active rail corridor and the problems that it poses to an active working farming property. I am also an active member within the community and community organisations within NSW. In my youth I was State President of the NSW Rural Youth Organisation I played sport for Junee in Soccer, Rugby League and Rugby Union I was awarded Life Membership for my involvement with my local P&C Association I was Treasurer, 21 years, and President, 4 years, of the Illabo Show Society I am a Group Captain for the Rural Fire Service I was a Councillor for Junee Shire in 1989-1993 At present I am currently serving as a Councillor for Junee I am Chairman of our local NSW Farmers Association Branch I have been active within my local church for the last 40 years I feel that this has helped get a feel on the issues that effect my community and more importantly their concerns with the Inland Rail Project as it effects those producers and the adjoining community in the Illabo to Stockinbingal (I2S) greenfield section of this project.
