- Queensland Rail has published a works notice for the North Coast line between Innisfail and Babinda in April 2026. The track closure occurred from Saturday 4 to Sunday 12 April, daily 6:00 am–6:00 pm, with works at sites near Garradunga, Eubenangee, Jogo, Waugh Pocket, and surrounding local roads. This work aimed to improve safety and reliability, and impacts included on-track activity, noise, ballast loading/unloading, and night lighting. If you need, you can sign up for electronic notices or contact QR for updates. Works notice - Innisfail to Babinda - April 2026[1]
