In April 2008, it was announced that the Swan Hill – Piangil section of the track, along with six other lines, would be upgraded under a $23.7 million package of improvements to the Victorian core grain network.

In October 2010, the Victorian government released a report into public transport options for the north-west of Victoria, which analysed nine proposals for improving services to the city of Mildura.
One alternative investigated was an extension of the railway from Swan Hill to connect to the Mildura railway line at Ouyen.

As part of the Regional Rail Revival project, a new station at Raywood is scheduled to open in 2022.
