The following information summarises the key information relating to frequently asked questions about Moorebank Intermodal Precinct (the Precinct).
CURRENT STATUS
The Precinct is one of Australia’s most significant industrial and intermodal precincts. The scale and capacity of the Precinct is an Australian first and will transform the country’s supply chain, taking tens of thousands of trucks off the road as well as lowering costs for business and consumers by providing more efficient and sustainable processing and delivery of goods.
Operations
Intermodal terminal operations commenced in 2019 with the opening of the Import Export Terminal (IMEX) and Rail Link (that connects the Intermodal Terminal to the South Sydney Freight Line); and the first warehouse operations commenced around 2020.
Approximately one third of the Precinct’s approved warehousing is now built and operational. Tenants include Qube Logistics, Catch, Federal Hospitality Equipment and ATS.
Development
Parts of the Precinct are under development with four warehouses currently at different stages of construction (as of August 2023.) The Interstate Rail Terminal located on Moorebank Precinct West (MPW) is also under construction and is expected to be operational in 2024.
Future warehouses, ancillary services and supporting infrastructure will be progressively constructed and become operational over the coming years. The Precinct is set to be fully developed into a world-class warehousing and intermodal facility by the late 2020s.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND APPROVALS
The Precinct was identified as a potential location for an intermodal facility in the early 2000s. Since that time, the Precinct has been the subject of multiple environmental assessment and approvals by the NSW and Australian Governments.
The Precinct is approved as separate sub-precincts, Moorebank Precinct East (MPE); Moorebank Precinct West (MPW) and Moorebank Avenue Realignment (MAR). These approvals are:
Moorebank Precinct East:
The MPE Concept Plan has been modified twice. MPW Stage 2 has been modified four times and there is currently an active modification application (MOD 5) under assessment by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE).
