  • Albion Park Rail Bypass State Significant Infrastructure Application Report
    Roads and Maritime Services Albion Park Rail bypass State significant infrastructure application report December 2014 RMS 14.576 ISBN 978-1-925217-17-9 Executive summary Introduction and need Roads and Maritime Services is planning for a 9.8 kilometre extension of the M1 Princes Motorway between Yallah and Oaks Flats to bypass Albion Park Rail (the project). The motorway would complete the ‘missing link’ for a high standard road between Sydney and Bomaderry. It would provide easy access to Dapto, Albion Park and Oak Flats, have two lanes in each direction with median separation and have capacity for additional lanes. It is expected to be signposted at 100 kilometres per hour. The project would also require ancillary facilities during construction, such as compounds, stockpile sites, temporary accesses, and sedimentation basins. Roads and Maritime’s strategy is to provide a minimum four lane divided highway between Sydney and Jervis Bay Road, just south of Nowra. In line with this, the NSW Government has committed to a series of upgrades on the Princes Highway. Each of the remaining sections of highway to be upgraded to four lanes is under construction, or in planning, making the road standard of the section between Yallah and Oak Flats inconsistent with the Princes Motorway to the north and the Princes Highway to the south. The Princes Motorway and Princes Highway between southern Sydney and Bomaderry have free flowing traffic conditions with the only remaining traffic lights at Albion Park Rail. Roads and Maritime considers that the project is needed to improve road safety and efficiency of the road network.

This report describes the Sharkeye platform, a first-of-its-kind project to demonstrate personal shark alerting for beachgoers in the water and on land, leveraging innovative UAV image collection, cloud- hosted machine learning detection algorithms, and reporting via smart wearables.

  • Submission to the Senate Inquiry Into Shark Mitigation and Deterrent Measures Australian Aerial Patrol (
    Submission to the Senate Inquiry into Shark mitigation and deterrent measures Australian Aerial Patrol (www.aerialpatrol.com.au) March, 2017 Contact: Duncan Leadbitter 1 1.0 Recommendations The Australian Aerial Patrol recommends to government that it establish a permanent coordinating body to ensure that beach safety providers work together in an integrated fashion to enhance bather safety with respect to sharks. Furthermore, the coordinating body should ensure that a proper plan is prepared and funding is made available for more than just in-water mitigation options. This body could be answerable to the minister with responsibility for emergency services. The Australian Aerial Patrol urges the government to work with it to increase the ability of observers to sight sharks and to improve integration with ground based operators. The Australian government should investigate the creation of aerial patrols in other parts of Australia. With assistance the AAP would be willing to pass on its skills and experience to any community group that wished to go down this path. The AAP believes that government funding could catalyse private sector investment and, if the coordinating body mentioned above is created, then a new era of collaboration in the collection and supply of data could expand knowledge about sharks across the country. The Inquiry needs to explore in detail the value of tagging programs and their potential to protect bathers given the small number of sharks tagged, the number that needs to be tagged and monitored at bathing beaches and the cost of establishing and maintaining a program that provides a meaningful level of protection.
