Regional Rail Link seeks local suppliers

BRIMBANK businesses have the chance to hop on board the Regional Rail Link project.

Contracts worth millions of dollars are up for grabs and the team behind the Footscray to Deer Park leg of the project wants to hear from local suppliers.

Elliot Young, general manager for the Footscray-Deer Park project, said it wanted to give small businesses in the area an opportunity to be part of Australia’s largest public infrastructure project.

A ‘buy local’ forum will be held at the Whitten Oval conference facilities on Barkly Street in West Footscray this Thursday.

Presentations are at 3.30pm and 5.45pm.

Meanwhile, works are planned over the Easter long weekend, with buses replacing trains on the Sydenham line.
