There is an ACTPLA-initiated railway master plan study underway and the consultants have had discussions with the society. A plan will be proposed to see the retention of the railway goods shed and hopefully integrating the new combined Canberra railway station and railway museum at the goods shed location. This would be a significant boost for the society as it is one of only two accredited rail operators into Canberra.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 6.04 pm until Tuesday, 13 November 2007, at 10.30 am.
