The City of Wagga Wagga and Genesee & Wyoming Australia (GWA) would like to reassure the community that both parties are actively pursuing the Riverina Intermodal Freight & Logistics (RIFL) Hub.

"GWA continues to invest in developing the business case for the proposed Riverina Intermodal Freight and Logistics (RiFL) Hub,” GWA Managing Director David Brown said.
