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. A contract has been awarded to John Holland for the detailed design and construction of the new maintenance facility. 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. 

New Intercity Fleet Maintenance Facility urban design update

The urban design and public domain plan for the Maintenance Facility provides the community with information about the location of buildings, roads and parking areas within the Maintenance Facility site, as well as the proposed designs for site buildings.

The urban design plans aim to integrate the facility into the existing landscape, using natural finishes like timber and rock, as well as native vegetation to blend with the local surroundings.
