The Transport Asset Holding Entity of New South Wales (TAHE) is a state-owned corporation of the Government of New South Wales established under the Transport Administration Act 1988. It was converted and renamed from RailCorp on 1 July 2020.[1][2] As a state-owned corporation, it is not an agency or division of Transport for NSW.[3]
Like its predecessor RailCorp, the TAHE holds rail property assets, rolling stock and rail infrastructure in the Sydney metropolitan area and limited country locations in the state and it makes these assets available to Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink for their operations. Its asset base consists of "rail embankments, cuttings and tunnels, track, signals, power systems, rolling stock, stations and significant land holdings around stations" across the state.[4] A sister entity, the Residual Transport Corporation (RTC), which was formed in July 2017, owns assets not suitable for TAHE ownership.[5]
The TAHE will eventually own the state's public transport assets, including ferries.[6][7]
Following a change of government, TAHE will be changed to an unannounced renamed not-for-profit entity and be dissolved at a later date.[8]
