NSW Labor Plans $12 Billion Train Manufacturing Comeback in Hunter Region

NSW Premier Chris Minns committed $12 billion over 15 years to restart train manufacturing in the Hunter region, targeting sites near Teralba or Broadmeadow. The plan—a public-private partnership—would create roughly 780 construction jobs and 550 permanent manufacturing roles. The announcement reverses decades of industrial decline ahead of the March 2027 election, where Labor faces political pressure from One Nation in the upper house.
