Farrer MP Sussan Ley said the appointment of a regional liaison officer would help Border businesses and communities capitalise on the economic and social opportunities of inland rail.
"Staff from the Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities will work with people on the ground through southern NSW and Victoria to maximise local procurement and employment opportunities," she said.
"The Albury-Wodonga office will have responsibility for maximising the benefits from inland rail in the region, providing us with a huge potential employment boost.”
Deputy Prime Minister and Infrastructure Minister Michael McCormack said the project would lead to thousands of jobs.
"Inland rail is about creating new growth opportunities for regional communities, and creating expanded career pathways for people living in regional Australia," he said.
