Construction on a new hub for 165 electric buses in Sydney’s north is due to start early next year.

Located near where the M2 motorway intersects with Lane Cove Road, the new depot will house 165 electric buses. It is part of aat Macquarie Park, which the state government has identified as a priority high-growth area. “This isn’t just about reducing our carbon footprint – it’s also about creating a more enjoyable passenger experience for everyone,” she said.In 2019, the then-transport minister Andrew Constance unveiled a goal to electrify the state’s entire bus fleet by 2030, describing it as a way to “scale up our efforts towards tackling climate change”.
