Greenbushes to Bunbury Rail Project – Detailed Feasibility Study
Talison Lithium, in collaboration with the State Government, the Southwest Development Commission, Arc Infrastructure and Aurizon are undertaking a study to investigate the feasibility of recommissioning the Greenbushes to Bunbury railway line. The study will be jointly funded by Talison Lithium and the State Government.
If recommissioned the line will be used to transport lithium mineral concentrate in containers from the Greenbushes Lithium Operation to Bunbury. The moving lithium mineral concentrate off road and onto rail will reduce the amount of truck movements along the South-Western Highway.
In 2019, a similar study led by Talison Lithium and the South West Development Commission was undertaken. In 2020, the study was put on hold due to a number of external factors including a decline in the lithium market, partly because of the international disruptions caused by COVID-19
It is important to acknowledge that currently, some studies are only in introductory or preliminary stages. To this end, we appreciate your patience while we endeavour to address your concerns. As we gather more stakeholder feedback and the studies progress based on this input, we will be able to provide more detailed information.
If you would like to receive updates regarding progress of the study or have any questions for us, please contact us here: info@talisonrail.com or by calling us on 1800 418 581.
