Arc Infrastructure Notification of Proposed Night Works

Published on Tuesday, 12 August 2025 at 11:04:20 AM

Arc Infrastructure, the manager and operator of Western Australia's 5,000-kilometre freight rail network, is planning to undertake rail maintenance works, this includes rail grinding which will be undertaken during the night shifts to mitigate fire risk during the heat of the day.

The rail grinding is safety critical works which reduces the day to day wheel noise from the trains and prolongs rail life reducing the need for track replacement. The Shire of Toodyay has approved the Noise Management Plan, with conditions. Works will be carried out between scheduled train movements and the site will be constantly moving.

All efforts will be made to minimise disturbance to landowners and other members of the public; however, some unavoidable inconveniences may arise.

The works will be caried out at various times and locations daily between 6pm Friday 1st August to 6am Wednesday 20th August 2025.

Works around Toodyay and West Toodyay Townsite will be performed between 18:00 - 20:00
