The national company will close its bulk liquid transport operation in Wagga, located within its Travers Street freight and parcel division depot near the Murrumbidgee Turf Club.

"We can confirm staff working at Toll's Global Logistics Liquids business in Wagga were notified some weeks ago of changes being made to that part of our business," a Toll spokesperson said.

"The Liquids business currently shares the Travers Road facility with our Global Express division. Following a review of our operations, the decision has been made to exit the GL Liquids business from this site."

The Transport Workers Union (TWU) expects the affected Toll staff to finish work at the site in May and June.

A Toll spokesperson said these types of decisions were "never easy, especially when they impact employees who have made an important contribution to our business".

"There is opportunity to redeploy some staff across other areas of Toll's business," the spokesperson said.

"We are working with those people through this process. Where this is not possible, we are providing relevant employees with full access to our employee assistance program.

"Up to 20 staff could be involved, however, this is not yet confirmed as we are still working through redeployment opportunities with these employees."

TWU NSW state secretary Richard Olsen said the union had been advised that Toll Group will be shutting down their tanker yard in Wagga.

"Around 19 workers, TWU members, will be impacted by the decision to close the yard," Mr Olsen said.

Mr Olsen said the TWU would assist those affected and work with Ron Finemore Transport to provide new jobs to those unable to be redeployed in Toll.

"This still leaves on the [Wagga] site a Toll operated workshop and their transport operations, Toll Express and Toll Priority," he said.

"The TWU is uncertain of the future of these yards as the new owner of these Toll divisions, Allegro, has made no indication as to their future."

Toll Group owner Japan Post said last week it would sell Toll's Global Express division, which includes the Wagga depot affected by the liquid tanker closure, to Sydney private equity firm Allegro Funds.

Mr Olsen said the TWU would "hold Allegro to account every step of the way to protect the interests of those who matter most: workers and all road users who depend on Toll operating a safe transport business".
