Victorian freight terminal opens

Western Victoria has opened a major freight terminal to ease congestion at the state’s ports.

The Wimmera Intermodal Freight Terminal at Dooen, near Horsham will provide a central location for specialist grain handling and vastly-improved access to ports and processing plants.

It will also provide a better infrastructure to support the movement of containerised exports and bulk grain through a bulk loading facility also to be built at the site.

The new facility was paid for by the Victorian government, local councils and Federal government.
