About the project

We're creating the Newcastle Logistics Precinct to coordinate the transportation of renewable energy equipment as part of the once-in-a-generation upgrade of NSW’s electricity system.  

The Newcastle Logistics Precinct is ideal for storing energy components at the Port of Newcastle. It connects easily to the state road network and the Port to REZ route.

It will be on the government-owned Intertrade site next to the Port of Newcastle lease area. This is an opportunity to expand the capacity to accommodate the large number of renewable energy components arriving at the Port of Newcastle.

The NSW Government is investing $115.5 million to develop the Newcastle Logistics Precinct.

We're coordinating multiple projects in the Hunter and Central Coast regions

The Hunter and Central Coast are at the heart of our work to deliver clean, reliable and affordable energy for NSW as our coal-fired power plants retire.

Learn more about the projects we're delivering in these regions.
