  • Western Harbour Tunnel & Warringah Freeway Upgrade
    NSW Major Projects NSW Government 30th March, 2020. Dear Sir or Madame, RE: Western Harbour Tunnel & Warringah Freeway Upgrade I am writing in support of Bike North and their submission on the Western Harbour Tunnel & Warringah Freeway Upgrade.i Bicycle NSW has been the peak bicycle advocacy group now in NSW for over forty-three years, and has over 30 affiliated local Bicycle User Groups, including Bike North. Bicycle NSW exists to create a better environment for all bicycle riders and our advocacy is guided by three policy pillars to achieve this namely: Build it for Everyone: cycling infrastructure should be built suitable for all riders, and we say ‘from 8-80’ as a reminder that children through to elders should all be able to use it independently Safe Home: because everyone deserves to arrive home safely and laws, regulation and enforcement need to support this Invest Now for Health: calls for government to recognise the importance of investment in safe cycling to address the rising impact of inactivity on human health Bicycle NSW agrees with and supports the objections of Bike North to the proposal on the basis that: The proposal would entrench private, environmentally damaging transport at the expense of public and active transport The EIS fails to provide a full detailed business case to support this proposal over public transport investment The project fails to include delivery of the North Shore Cycleway as part of the project or at least the section between Naremburn and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This directly contradicts Sydney’s Cycling Future (NSW Government, Dec 2013) that requires that the ‘needs of people on bike be included throughout the planning of new and upgraded road projects’, and that ‘bicycle facilities be identified and delivered parallel to major transport corridors’.

  • Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade - EIS SSI 8863
    25 March 2019 File No: 2020/065301 Naomi Moss Contact Planner Department of Planning, Industry and Environment 4 Parramatta Square 12 Darcy Street Parramatta NSW 2150 Via: NSW Planning Portal Dear Naomi Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade - EIS SSI_8863 Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Environmental Impact Statement for the Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade State Significant Infrastructure Project. The key points that the City of Sydney wishes to raise are provided in the following pages. Should you wish to speak with a Council officer about the above, please contact Elise Webster, Manager Transport Major Projects on 9265 9333 or at [email protected] Yours sincerely, Graham Jahn AM Director City Planning I Development I Transport 2 Introduction The City of Sydney (the City) has been a long-time critic of WestConnex. This is primarily because this costly motorway project will fail in its primary objective of easing congestion. Urban motorways do not solve congestion; they induce demand for motor vehicle trips and any additional capacity created is quickly filled. This phenomenon applies equally to the Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway (the WHT) Project, a component of the WestConnex expansion. The number of vehicles entering the city from the north and the Roselle area is currently limited by the capacity of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Anzac Bridge. These bridges also accommodate traffic which bypasses the CBD. When six separate bypass lanes are provided as part of the WHT project there will then be additional capacity on the Harbour Bridge and Anzac Bridge to access the CBD by vehicle.

  • Flood Emergency
    HAWKESBURY REBUILDS AFTER FLOOD EMERGENCY We are still recovering from the worst flooding in Hawkesbury since 1990, peaking at 12.9 metres at Windsor. The waters have subsided, but the heartache caused by the wreckage, loss of life and livelihoods will take longer to heal. The cleanup is underway. Resilience NSW has assessed more than 9,000 residential structures for damage across NSW, with Hawkesbury enduring the brunt. Roads and infrastructure are being repaired by local authorities. Although Bells Line of Road has been partially re-opened, repairs will be ongoing for several months. There has been support for accommodation, cleanup, mental health, financial assistance and advice about insurance. Like the bushfires we endured not long ago, we will get through this together. I am reminded yet again of the volunteer spirit of our community and our ability to rise to meet this challenge.
