Logan City Mayor Darren Power is considering the council’s legal options if the national Inland Rail Freight line causes problems in the city .
Councillor Power is worried the high-volume freight line could badly affect the city’s roads, bridges, flood plains and residential properties after its built.
The Mayor has said council will document possible problems arising from building the link through suburbia and send the list to Canberra and rail developer A.R.T.C.
“If they don’t listen, we might have to take legal action against the federal government for injurious affection on our residents and infrastructure,” Cr Power said.
“I would imagine a significant cost on infrastructure if it’s not done properly, we will be lumbered with this and there won’t be any comeback”.
(The council’s media team expected to provide further quotes from Mayor Power later today which will be included in this story).
