The NSW Farmers Association has welcomed the federal government's announcement of an independent review into the Inland Rail project, describing it as the final chance" for the venture to deliver to rural communities.

Led by the former Sydney Water CEO Dr Kerry Schott AO, the review will re-examine the planning, governance and delivery of Australian Rail Track Corporation's (ARTC) multi-billion-dollar Inland Rail project. It is set to be completed by early next year.
