The NSW government has announced a $12 billion investment over 15 years to build next-generation Tangara trains at a new manufacturing facility in the Hunter Valley. Two potential sites—a former coal mine in Teralba and the Broadmeadow Locomotive Depot—have been identified, with due diligence to determine the final location. The decision comes amid an upcoming state election and rising competition from the One Nation party in key Hunter seats. The funding will cover train manufacturing, facility upgrades, and infrastructure works, creating over 550 ongoing jobs and 780 construction roles. Premier Chris Minns emphasized the importance of domestic manufacturing, contrasting it with the previous Coalition government's reliance on overseas train imports. The project aims to replace the aging Tangara fleet by 2027, with subsequent fleet replacements planned for the 2040s and 2050s. The announcement highlights NSW's commitment to long-term economic growth and infrastructure development.

New Zealand’s Budget 2026 has maintained a strong emphasis on road infrastructure despite growing global fuel supply risks linked to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The budget allocates the bulk of new transport capital funding to highways and major road projects, including nearly NZ$1.773 billion for the Cambridge to Piarere Road of National Significance and a further NZ$400 million for state highway resilience. Together, these commitments account for roughly three-quarters of new transport capital expenditure, reinforcing a long-standing policy focus on road expansion and maintenance. In contrast, investment in rail and active transport remains comparatively limited. Metropolitan rail receives just over NZ$100 million for overdue renewals in Auckland and Wellington, while a larger combined allocation supports national rail freight infrastructure. However, no specific funding is directed toward walking or cycling initiatives. Public transport users also see no fare relief or major service expansion, despite Treasury modelling suggesting fuel excise deferrals could significantly affect government revenue. The budget also reallocates funds from existing programmes, including reductions in bus decarbonisation funding and other transport-related subsidies, redirecting money towards infrastructure reviews and other priorities. While a modest allocation is made for fuel supply resilience, including reserves, critics argue this reflects adaptation to fossil fuel dependency rather than a transition away from it. Broader infrastructure spending shows similar constraints, with declining forecasts for water infrastructure investment despite increasing climate-related weather damage. Treasury also flags multi-billion-dollar long-term risks associated with transport funding and infrastructure sustainability. Overall, the budget is characterised as fiscally cautious, prioritising road networks and existing systems over structural shifts towards lower-emissions transport alternatives.
