flag Armidale Council approved a $500K study to turn a disused rail line into a trail, with safeguards to preserve future rail options.

flag Armidale Regional Council approved a $500,000 study on October 22, 2025, to assess converting a disused rail line into a trail, passing 6-2 despite concerns over the rail corridor’s future. flag Critics, including Trains North, urged delaying decisions pending a state transport plan, warning the move could jeopardize potential rail revival and heritage tourism. flag Amendments ensure state consultation, long-term viability checks, and the option to return the corridor to rail use. flag Council clarified the project uses only $500,000 from its budget, not the previously cited $1.1 million, with additional funds sought externally.
