A new purpose-built train maintenance facility is being built at Kangy Angy on the NSW Central Coast.

The facility will service and maintain the new fleet of Intercity trains and includes offices, amenities, staff parking and ancillary buildings.

The detailed design and construction of the new facility is being delivered by John Holland on behalf of Transport for NSW.

Project status

The NSW Government is delivering a New Intercity Fleet to replace the trains carrying customers from Sydney to the Central Coast, Newcastle, the Blue Mountains and the South Coast.

To service and maintain the new fleet, a purpose-built train maintenance facility is being built at Kangy Angy.

The facility includes offices, amenities, staff parking and ancillary buildings as well as flood free access for local residents via a new bridge that will connect Enterprise Drive to Orchard Road.

Installation of the wheel lathe

The New Intercity Fleet Maintenance Facility has reached another major milestone with the onsite installation of a new 50 tonne wheel lathe, which will service the wheels of the new trains.

Please see video below capturing the installation process.

The maintenance facility is due to open later this year ahead of the first New Intercity Fleet trains entering service on the Central Coast and Newcastle Line followed by the Blue Mountains Line and the South Coast Line.

Determination Report and Combined Submissions Report

During 2016, the Review of Environmental Factors, Species Impact Statement and the Environment Protection Biodiversity and Conservation Act 1999 preliminary documentation were placed on public display and feedback from the community was invited. In 2017, the Additional Species Impact Statement was publicly exhibited and feedback was received. Transport for NSW would like to thank the community for their submissions.

The feedback received was considered as part of the planning approval process and has been responded to in a Determination Report (PDF, 6.02 MB) and Combined Submissions Report (PDF, 13.14 MB).

Ongoing community consultation

We acknowledge that there will be impacts to the community. 
In accordance with the project’s conditions of approval, Transport for NSW and John Holland will employ a range of mitigation measures to minimise impacts on nearby properties during the construction and operation of the maintenance facility.

We will continue to keep the local community informed as the project progresses.
