General FAQs

Are you hosting any in-person information sessions? When can I visit or attend one?

Yes. We are hosting informal drop-in sessions at the Wagga Discovery Hub (27 Kincaid St) and provide opportunities for community members and industry partners to learn more. You are welcome to have a chat with our friendly Hub staff during community open hours from 10am to 3pm.

What are the construction impacts? Will it increase traffic or noise in the area?

Construction impacts will be minimal and managed in line with best practice standards. Some increase in traffic and noise may occur during peak construction periods such as delivery of modular building, but measures will be in place to reduce disruption. Any impacts will be communicated to near neighbours and businesses, in a timely manner.

Will there be any road closures or detours during construction?

No major road closures are expected. If temporary traffic changes are required, we will notify affected residents and businesses in advance.

Is the Training Hub a permanent structure? When will it be decommissioned?

The Hub is a permanent modular facility designed for flexibility. It is not intended that the building will be moved or decommissioned.

Will the Training Hub operate at night or on weekends? What are the operating hours?

No, operating hours will be from 8:30 am to 4:30 weekdays.

Will the Training Hub increase demand on local services like parking or public transport?

The Hub includes dedicated parking. We do not anticipate an impact on public transport and any future changes will communicate transparently.

How is this Training Hub different from existing facilities?

There are no training facilities available to other providers in NSW the facilities here will provide training across the energy sector in a regional location boosting regional workforce capabilities and access.

Can local residents book spaces at the Training Hub for their own personal use (e.g. training private business staff, team off-site days, etc.)?

The Wagga Energy Training Hub is a dedicated training delivery facility. Only Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) with the appropriate licences, insurances, and credentials to deliver accredited training are permitted to use the Training Hub. This ensures compliance with safety, regulatory, and industry standards. The Hub is not available for activities outside of industrial training directly linked to the energy transition.

Can industry partners host non-training specific activities like events and workshops?

No. The Wagga Energy Training Hub is strictly for training activities delivered by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that hold the appropriate licences, insurances, and credentials. Non-training activities such as events or workshops cannot be hosted at the Training Hub.

For these types of activities, the Transgrid Discovery Hub is the ideal venue. It is a dedicated community space designed facilitate community related activities and events, along with opportunities for broader learning about Australia’s energy transition. Through the Hub Partners program, community groups, not-for-profit organisations, and aligned industry stakeholders can apply to use shared spaces and collaborate with Transgrid on initiatives that promote community education, skills development, sustainability, and wellbeing.

More information about the Discovery Hub and the Hub Partners program is available on the Transgrid website.

Will there be opportunities for tours, site visits or demonstrations?

Yes. As part of our engagement activities, we plan to directly invite industry partners and key stakeholders to attend when suitable. Enquiries by interested persons or businesses can be requested via emailing training.hub@transgrid.com.au
