Defence is proposing to upgrade training facilities at Randwick Barracks NSW to deliver modern, fit-for-purpose facilities that support the training requirements of the new naval capability.
The project will upgrade and expand existing training infrastructure, ensuring facilities remain relevant, safe, and designed to meet current and emerging Defence needs. The proposed works form part of Defence’s broader investment in infrastructure to support preparedness, training and capability integration across NSW.
