Major transport. operator and public /private bus company, CDC NSW has announced it has officially opened its new driver and staff facilities located at its Terrey Hills depot, which the company says marks a significant investment in employee wellbeing and operational excellence.
The company claims the $650,000 facility reflects its ongoing commitment to creating better working environments for its team members who it claims keep Sydney moving each day.
CDC says that the new facility features a modern, and functional design that it claims prioritises staff comfort and collaboration, with a key highlight of the upgrade being the unification of administrative staff and drivers under one roof, having previously been housed in separate areas.
The company claims this fosters improved communication and team cohesion across all of its operational roles.
CDC NSW CEO, David Mead, emphasised the importance of the upgrade, saying its people are the heart of its operation, and that these new facilities at Terrey Hills reflect its dedication to staff well-being.
“By bringing our administrative and driving teams together in one thoughtfully designed space, we’re not just improving facilities—we’re strengthening our collaborative culture and operational efficiency,” said Mead.
The company said that the facility upgrade originated from what it describes as its proactive exploration of ways to improve staff well-being adding that the recommendations from an internal taskforce became the impetus to complete this new facility.
It claims that the renovated space includes dedicated recreational areas where team members can enjoy a game of billiards, puzzles, watch a movie and social interaction during breaks and that these communal spaces have been designed to promote both relaxation and camaraderie among staff.
Local independent state MP for Wakehurst, Michael Regan, said “he was pleased to see CDC NSW’s continued investment in driver facilities and staff well-being.
“The upgrades at Terrey Hills demonstrate the company’s commitment to creating better working conditions for transport workers, which ultimately benefits the travelling public,” said Regan.
“We have a driver shortage, and this is a positive way to invest in driver recruitment and retention, which in turn helps improving service reliability and capacity to us the customer,” he added.
The company claims that a standout feature of the new facilities is the purpose-built quiet room and shower amenities, specifically designed for drivers working broken shifts, with these spaces providing essential opportunities for rest and rejuvenation between shifts.
“The addition of quiet rooms and shower facilities addresses a real need for our drivers working split shifts. These amenities allow them to properly rest and refresh between service periods, which is essential not only for their well-being but for the safety of our passengers and other road users,” Mead said.
The company said that the Terrey Hills upgrade also included a new training room equipped with state-of-the-art teleconferencing capabilities ad that this investment in learning facilities will enhance CDC NSW’s driver training programs and professional development initiatives, which it believes will ensure that the company’s team members will continue to deliver the highest standards of service to the Northern Beaches community.
CDC NSW claims to be the leading bus operator in NSW, which claims to provide public transport services across Sydney and the state’s regional areas.
The company is a part of the ComfortDelGro Corporation, which is claimed to be one of the world’s largest land transport companies,
