A $14.6 million rail freight wagon maintenance terminal has opened in North Sunshine.
Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder said moving the operation from the Dynon Creek rail yards to new sidings in North Sunshine would boost economic activity in the west.
Works included installing a new wagon maintenance crane, laying tracks, making a turning circle, and providing fencing and pathways.
Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn said the location was a perfect fit. “On the main standard-gauge line to Seymour and within the North Sunshine industrial precinct, the location is an ideal site for rail maintenance operations,” he said.
