(b) Bathurst? (c) Blayney? (d) Kandos? (2) What has been the total "payout" figure with regard to the redundancies? (3) As at 11 May 1993, what is the total railway staff employed in the electorate of Bathurst? (4) What was the total railway staff employed in the electorate of Bathurst in July 1988? Answer— (1) Redundancy figures are only available from 1989. The total number of redundancies from State Rail since 1989 are: (a) Lithgow 70 (b) Bathurst 130 (c) Blayney 3 (d) Kandos 6 (2) Based on the average redundancy package payment to State Rail staff, an estimated $16 million has been paid in the Bathurst electorate. Each redundancy payment includes leave entitlements and superannuation entitlements as well as a redundancy component. (3) The total number of railway staff employed in the Bathurst electorate at 11 May 1993 was 530. Since 11 May 1993, the decision has been made to decentralise the State Rail Authority's workshops. Up to 150 new jobs will be created in Bathurst and Goulburn, of which around half will be located in Bathurst. It is important to note that private sector jobs have replaced some State Rail Authority jobs in Bathurst. 129 jobs have been created in Bathurst through various contracts awarded to Clyde Industries. (4) Railway staff employed in the Bathurst electorate in July 1988 totalled 713. *1206 TANGARA TINTED WINDOWS—Mr Davoren asked the Minister for Transport and Minister for Roads— (1) Is he aware that difficulty is experienced by passengers in Tangara carriages to read station signs at night due to the tinted windows? (2) What steps are being instituted to solve this problem? Page 2100 Answer— (1) Yes. (2) Lighting and signage at stations have been improved. In addition, it is proposed that train guards will make a short announcement prior to arriving at each stopping station during the heavily patronised period of the evening darkness until 9 p.m. *1212 TRAIN SERVICE CO-ORDINATION—Mr Nagle asked the Minister for Transport and Minister for Roads— (1) Is it the Government's policy as far as possible to co-ordinate train schedules so that when one train arrives at a station it can meet another train so that changing passengers can meet the connecting service? (2) If so, why could not the 8.45 a.m. Bondi Junction train connect up with the 8.46 a.m. train to St James Station from Central Station on 11 May 1993? Answer— (1) Yes. (2) The frequency of services on the City Circle makes it unnecessary to provide scheduled connecting services. *1213 FARE EVASION—MrNagle asked the Minister for Transport and Minister for Roads— (1) What revenue was gained through legal action against fare evaders from 1988 to 1993? (2) Is there a report and/or memoranda on fare evasion? (3) (a) Does not this report and/or memoranda set out the estimated loss on fare evasion?

(2) Is a fixed seat to be fitted? (3) If so, are the seats to be arranged facing one direction only or will they be placed in the same split configuration that exist on the Tangara cars already in service.

(4) No. (5) Yes. Page 2101 12 MAY 1993 (Paper No. 19) *1225 M4 OFF-RAMPS TO CUMBERLAND HIGHWAY—MsAllan asked the Minister for Transport and Minister for Roads— (1) Is he aware of the inconvenience being caused to motorists due to the lack of directional signs to Wentworthville and Greystanes at the M4 off- ramps to the Cumberland Highway? (2) Is he further aware that the Roads and Traffic Authority excuse for not providing such signposting is that the Cumberland Highway is a Metroad and the Roads and Traffic Authority principles of signposting precludes installation of the required signs? (3) Why are there no signs to give motorists directions to their destination? (4) Will he instruct the Roads and Traffic Authority to erect directional signs at the M4 off-ramps at the Cumberland Highway? (5) If not, why not? Answer— The honourable member may recall that the position concerning this matter was outlined to her in Ministerial correspondence dated 25 February last. As previously indicated, the Roads and Traffic Authority has determined that certain major roads should be specially designated as through-traffic corridors. The six routes of this kind which comprise the Sydney Metroad system include the M4 Motorway and the Cumberland Highway. The intersection of these two Metroads consequently assumes particular importance as a central point in the system. The signposting principle adopted for the Metroad system requires that where two Metroads intersect, a major Sydney metropolitan destination and select "route function" destinations be shown in each direction. Therefore, at the intersection in question, Hornsby and North Coast have been signposted to the north, with Liverpool and Canberra indicated to the south. Also, Westmead Hospital has been shown as a destination for eastbound traffic. Accordingly, the intersection has been correctly signposted. Nevertheless, the Authority is negotiating with Holroyd City Council on the question of providing direction signs to the Wentworthville/Greystanes area. *1226 OLYMPICS 2000 PROJECT—USE OF RECYCLED COMPOST—Ms Allan asked the Minister for Transport and Minister for Roads— (1) Can he verify that the Olympics 2000 project will use recycled compost products, soil and mulches? (2) Can he assure the House that he will seek an assurance that such recycled products will have been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure the safety of the community and the environment? (3) Will he consult with his ministerial colleagues to ascertain whether problems have occurred through the use of recycled compost products utilising treated sludge? (4) If not, why not? Page 2102 Answer— The construction of sporting facilities at Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush, remains the responsibility of the Public Works Department. Therefore, this question should be referred to the Hon. I. A. Armstrong, M.P., Deputy Premier, Minister for Public Works and Minister for Ports. *1227 SEVEN HILLS RAILWAYSTATIONCOMMUTER CAR PARK—Ms Allan asked the Minister for Transport and Minister for Roads— (1) Is he aware that a commuter car park is being built at Seven Hills Railway Station? (2) Is he further aware that no toilet facilities are to be provided in the development? (3) Is the lack of toilet provision a policy aimed at reducing costs due to vandalism? (4) (a) Is possible damage to an amenities block considered more important than vandalism of commuter's vehicles and risk to commuters welfare through lack of security? (b) If so, why? (5) Will he intervene in the building process and insist that adequate toilet facilities are provided for commuters, bus passengers and drivers of buses and taxi cabs? (6) If not, why not? Answer— (1) Yes.

  • ENG4111 Preliminary Report

    ENG4111 Preliminary Report

    University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Engineering and Surveying Own Identification of contributing factors for the success of toll roads in Australia under Public Private Partnerships A Dissertation submitted by Mr Luke Diffin In fulfilment of the requirements of Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) October 2015 ABSTRACT In Australia, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been established as a common method for governments to deliver major road infrastructure projects. Success of PPPs has varied when measured against Government, Community, Market and Industry interests. Some projects have failed financially while still having a positive impact on the community. Other projects have failed to reach delivery stage as a result of community objections. The holistic success of PPP toll roads is ultimately determined by the needs of major project participants being satisfied in an unbiased equilibrium manner. PPP toll roads delivered in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne have had varying degrees of financial success, however there are other vitally important factors to be considered. Tollways directly contribute to travel time savings, vehicle operating cost savings, reduced accidents and vehicle emissions and can make a contribution to the overall economic performance of a city. Therefore these pieces of infrastructure contribute to society as a whole and not just the investors who provide capital for the projects. Even with recent financial failings of PPP toll roads, Governments within Australia are still actively pursuing the PPP model to deliver road infrastructure. Lessons must be learnt from past failures to ensure the successful delivery and operation of future projects. Overall success will be a result of finding a balance between the needs of Government, Private Sector and Society.
