CHULLORA HERITAGE HUB
Proudly funded by
A new centre for transport heritage.
ABOUT CHULLORA HERITAGE HUB
Transport Heritage NSW is partnering with the NSW Government to deliver the Chullora Heritage Hub — a new storage and maintenance facility for transport heritage assets.
Moving to Chullora means Transport Heritage NSW will no longer have collection items at Eveleigh and Broadmeadow, while the NSW Rail Museum at Thirlmere will remain as the public showcase for rail heritage in NSW.
The below video provides an overview of the project.
STAGE ONE: TANK ANNEX BUILDING
Stage One of the Chullora Heritage Hub was delivered in early 2024, with the completion of the refurbished Tank Annex Building and relocation of collection items.
This world class facility now provides safe and proper storage for a variety of collection items, including rolling stock and small objects, previously located at Thirlmere, Eveleigh and Broadmeadow.
The below video showcases the once in a generation relocation of heritage assets required to deliver Stage One of the new facility.
STAGE TWO: LOCOMOTIVE WORKSHOP
Stage Two of the Chullora Heritage Hub is focussed on the former Locomotive Workshop and plans to include:
-
Large workshop for restoration projects and ongoing maintenance.
-
Easy access to the main line network for more efficient heritage train operations.
-
Potential for other recognised heritage transport groups to have a presence at the new hub.
-
Knowledge sharing and skill development.
Stage Two is yet to commence and is subject to further review by the NSW Government.
