Around 100 people and 50 horses were evacuated from an event at nearby EPIC due to toxic smoke.Mitchell was selected as the site for the first Canberra light rail depot, with construction beginning in 2016. The facility opened in March 2019, including maintenance facilities and the network operations centre.
