ASCIANO’S rail subsidiary Pacific National will develop an intermodal freight terminal on 327 hectares of land in the Parkes Multi Modal Transport Hub in NSW.
The company purchased the freehold land after having the concept plans approved by the NSW Minister of Planning. The freight facility will include an intermodal rail terminal, collocated container storage and warehousing.
According to the company, it will be undertaking staged development so it can add capacity to the operations as needed in the future.
The proposed terminal will increase rail freight capacity, with the ability to double stack trains from Parkes to Perth originating out of Sydney. It will provide direct mainline access to both the East West interstate rail corridor and a proposed Melbourne to Brisbane inland rail corridor.
