Good evening. I am very pleased to have been invited to speak to you this evening. I’d like to thank the RTAA and PWI and congratulate you on your work to promote continuous improvement across the rail industry. The administration of transport in NSW is undergoing a period of significant change. This change is driven by a desire to achieve better transport outcomes for the NSW community. For the Transport industry this translates to a massive investment in transport infrastructure and a focus on returning quality transport services to NSW.This evening I’d like to bring you up to date on our progress to improve the NSW transport network and step through some of the projects in planning and delivery through byTransport Projects Division of Transport for NSW
The Government has developed clear goals for NSW through the publication of the State Plan, NSW 2021.This is a 10 year plan to rebuild the economy, return quality services, renovate infrastructure, strengthen our local environment and communities and restore accountability to Government.Work to deliver the plan has now begun.Renovating infrastructure is central to the Government’s plan. Infrastructure underpins improvements in many services, such as roads, rail, hospitals, schools and utilities.The right infrastructure, in the right places, not only boosts productivity and competitiveness in our economy - it makes a difference to people’s quality of life.
32 GoalsGoals 7 – 10 are about returning quality services in Transport (reduced travel times, growing patronage, improving the customer experience and improving road safety)Goal 19 of the plan outlines the targets for investment in critical infrastructure.Quality infrastructure will provide more liveable neighbourhoods and remove barriers to more affordable housing. Government is developing a 20 year State Infrastructure Strategy with funded five year plans, to make sure infrastructure is planned and delivered according to strategic economic and community needs.A clear long-term infrastructure strategy will improve NSW’s productivity and competitiveness, deliver sustainable growth and support employment, by matching infrastructure with development to attract people, jobs and investment.Infrastructure NSW has been established to provide independent expert advice, and ensure projects are strategically planned, coordinated and properly managed.Infrastructure NSW will strongly encourage the involvement of the private sector to further boost infrastructure activity, and ensure infrastructure is delivered on time and on budget, free from political interference.
Over the four years to 2015, the NSW Government will undertake a record infrastructure investment program of $62.6 billion. Transport will take the lion’s share with more than $23 billion invested in Transport infrastructure
$13.1 billion on transport and roads in this financial year, including $7.7 billion on operating and expanding public transport services Some of the significant investment areas include ….
Transport for NSW is managed by the Director-General, Les Wielinga, under the direction of the Minister for Transport and the Minister for Roads and Ports.There are six core divisions, focused ensuring that transport planning, policy, investment, procurement, development and delivery of infrastructure are driven by customer needs.This structure enables the transport agencies to focus on delivering frontline services to customers.Together our new organisation, along with other transport agencies and operators, will work in partnership to create streamlined and integrated solutions for all transport customers.
The leadership team is focused on customer service and integration across all transport modesdefining what the system has to deliver from a customer perspectivedeveloping and designing the right solutions to meet customer needsand cost effectively procuring the services, systems and infrastructure to meet customer needs
NSW has commenced the process of developing a Long Term Transport Master Plan to address the key transport challenges facing the State over the next 25 years.Some of the challenges to be addressed include:Population growth - The population of NSW grew to 7.287 million at the end of March 2011 and is projected to grow by around 2 million people over the next 20 years.Household growth - NSW is predicted to experience a growth in the number households from 2.8 million in 2011 to 3.7 million by 2031.Employment growth - There were 3,601,600 employed persons in NSW in September 2011. NSW will have to generate many new jobs to the meet the demands of a growing population.Extensive consultation with key stakeholders from industry, Government, business and the community is being carried out across the state to better understand the challenges for transport planning, identify transport needs and collaboratively develop a comprehensive plan for all modes of transport in Australia’s global city, Sydney, and regional NSW.The Draft Plan will be produced in June with the final Plan completed in November.
Transport Projects Division brings together project development, delivery and strategic procurement expertise from across the transport agencies.We are Transport for NSW expert developer and deliverer of major infrastructure and fleet asset projects.We provide:‘best in class’ procurement capability for major transport assets and infrastructureproject development and delivery expertisea ‘centre of excellence’ for expert services that support projects.Our services include environmental, urban design, heritage, sustainability, property, quality management, safety management, commercial support, project management and project communications.We are focused ensuring major projects are delivered on time and on budgetWe are focused on achieving better transport outcomes for NSW.We are committed to working with industry to meet our objectives.
current program consists of 4 projectsAt Hexham, there is limited ability to pass trains and to stage trains, waiting for passage into Sydney. The solution is a passing loop.The Hexham project is on the ARTC network, and this project is being delivered and managed by ARTC. The project is already in delivery through an existing ARTC alliance, so I won’t be discussing this project further in today’s briefing.At North strathfield, we have an “intersection” where freight trains are required to wait for a suitable opportunity to cross operating tracks, causing delay to passenger services. The solution is the provision of a freight underpassNorth of Epping there is a steep incline for approximately 6 km, causing freight trains to travel more slowly than passenger trains. The solution is a passing lane up the hillAt Gosford there is conflict between stopping passenger trains and freight trains sharing the same tracks, and no where to hold trains, waiting for passage through to Sydney. Ths solution is a loop in both directionsThe total program budget is $1.1b across the 4 projects.
The Program has evolved over time.Originally just Commuter Car Parks. The program then expended to the Commuter Car Park and Interchange Program.The over arching program is now called the Transport Access ProgramFocused on improving links across transport services for more convenient commuting

Wynyard Station (and its precinct) has been operating since 1932 with minor upgrades onlyKent Street Tunnel is extremely crowded and does not meet current day expectationsPlanned developments (east and west of Wynyard, but particularly Barangaroo) will put further strain on the Wynyard precinct and the Kent Street Tunnel Wynyard Walk will provide a pedestrian link connecting Wynyard Station to Barangaroo and the western CBD corridor
