History edit
In August 2017, as part of the NSW TrainLink Regional Train Project, Transport for NSW announced a new maintenance facility would be built in Dubbo adjacent to the Main Western railway line, 700 metres to the east of Dubbo railway station.[1][2][3] In November 2020, CPB Contractors commenced construction work.[4][5]
Mindyarra is a Wiradjuri word that means fix or repair. It will be the first Transport for NSW facility to use an Aboriginal name.[6]
