"Construction has officially begun on Sydney’s first purpose-built electric bus
depot, which will be capable of charging 150 battery electric buses.
The $145 million Macquarie Park depot won’t be Sydney’s first bus depot capable
of charging and operating electric buses, but it will be the first that has
been designed from the ground up specifically for the purpose.
The depot is being jointly funded by the state and federal governments and will
be built by New Zealand civil engineering firm Fulton Hogan, and feature both
standard 75 kilowatt (kW) and fast 150 kW plug-in chargers, and will employ 160
staff including drivers, maintenance workers, and administration personnel.
Fulton Hogan began work on the Talavera Road site at Macquarie Park this week,
with the depot to be completed and operational some time in 2028."
