WA Rail Freight Upgrades Gain Grain Harvest Speed

31 Mar WA Rail Freight Upgrades Gain Grain Harvest Speed

Rail freight upgrades delivered at Moora and Cranbook in late-2025 are playing a critical role in moving Western Australia’s largest ever grain harvest, helping to get more than 24 million tonnes of product to port faster.

Delivered under the $200 million Agricultural Supply Chain Improvements Program, these enhancements, which include new loading facilities and extended rail slidings, are enabling producers to capitalise on peak export pricing windows in competitive global grain markets.

Across the program, rail sliding upgrades at 11 receival sites are designed to reduce bottlenecks, improve train turnaround times and support WA’s growing harvest volumes. Completed sites thus far include Cranbrook, Moora, Brookton, Broomehill and Konnongorring, with Ballidu and Perenjori scheduled to progress in 2026.

With the record harvest valued at approximately $10 billion to Western Australia’s economy, the rail freight upgrades are reinforcing the link between regional infrastructure investment and export performance.
