Qantas Drive • Nightly closures of a single lane of traffic in each direction to allow for the widening of Qantas Drive and construction of the ‘flyover’ • Nightly closure of lanes along Sir Reginald Ansett Drive to carry out project work.

Sydney Gateway is comprised of two projects: · Sydney Gateway road project (the project) · Port Botany Rail Duplication – to duplicate a three kilometre section of the Port Botany freight rail line. NSW Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) and Sydney Airport Corporation Limited propose to build the Sydney Gateway road project, to provide new direct high capacity road connections linking the Sydney motorway network with Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (Sydney Airport). The location of Sydney Gateway, including the project, is shown on Figure 1.1. Roads and Maritime has formed the view that the project is likely to significantly affect the environment. On this basis, the project is declared to be State significant infrastructure under Division 5.2 of the NSW Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act), and needs approval from the NSW Minister for Planning.

  • Sydney Gateway
    Final Business Case Summary Sydney Gateway July 2019 July 2019 About this report Sydney Gateway is designed to increase transport capacity and connections between the Sydney transport network, Sydney Airport and Port Botany. It will do this by delivering new road and rail infrastructure. A motorway from St Peters to Mascot is proposed, together with road upgrades to provide improved access to Terminals 2 and 3 of Sydney Airport. The rail line between Mascot and Port Botany will be duplicated, with some realignment of the line and upgrading of existing rail infrastructure. The Business Case for Sydney Gateway was developed by (Roads and Maritime Services) Transport for NSW and submitted to the NSW Government in October 2018. This Business Case Evaluation Summary has been prepared by Infrastructure NSW, the NSW Government’s independent infrastructure advisory agency. Final Business Case Summary Page 1 Sydney Gateway July 2019 Strategic context Growth in population and the economy The Greater Sydney Commission’s Plan for Sydney1 describes a metropolis of three separate cities where residents of each city have easy access to jobs and services. The three cities are the Eastern Harbour City, Central River City and Western Parkland City. By 2031, the economic output of Sydney is expected to almost double and it will maintain its role as one of the economic capitals of Australia. The transport network currently services a population of 4.8 million making a total of 15.5 million multi-modal trips each day. By 2031, Sydney’s population is forecast to grow by around 1.6 million people and 0.7 million new jobs are forecast.

    Pedestrian Council of Australia The Walking Class Safety ––AmenityAmenity – Access – Health Pedestrian Council of Australia The W alki ng Cl ass A presentation to the Greater Sydney Commission April 2017 Pedestrian Council of Australia The W alki ng Cl ass WALKABILTY Prince Charles 60 Minutes - Sunday 6 November 2005: (Quote) “The whole of the 20th Century has always put the car at the centre, so by putting the pedestrian first, you create these liveable pp,laces, I think, with more attraction and interest and character and liveability.” Walking is the first thing an infant wants to do and the last thing an old person wants to give up. Walking is the exercise that does not need a gym. It is the prescription without medicine, the weight control without diet, and the cosmetic that can’t be found in a chemist. It is the tranquilliser without a pill, the therapy without a psychoanalyst, and the holiday that does not cost a penny. What’s more, it does not pollute, consumes few natural resources and is higgyhly efficient. Walking is convenient, it needs no special equipment, is self-regulating and inherently safe . Walking is as natural as breathing.

  • NSW Government Submission
    Inquiry into Economic Regulation of Airports NSW Government Submission NSW Transport Planning and Landside Access In March 2018, the NSW Government release ‘NSW Future Transport 2056’, a comprehensive strategy to ensure the way we travel is more personal, integrated, accessible, safe, reliable and sustainable. The associated Regional NSW Services and Infrastructure Plan outlines the NSW Government’s thinking on the big trends, issues, services and infrastructure needs which are now shaping, or will soon shape transport in regional NSW. This includes regional aviation, a key component of Transport for NSW’s future vision for the Hub and Spoke model of transport services in NSW that supports the visitor economy by enabling international and domestic visitation. Central to this is the importance of aviation for international, interstate and intrastate movements. Landside Access to Kingsford Smith Airport (Sydney Airport) The NSW Government is upgrading roads around Sydney Airport to help improve traffic flow around the airport and Port Botany. The upgrades are complementing Sydney Airport’s upgrades to its internal road network. The Sydney Airport precinct employs more than 12,000 people. Around half of these people live within public transport, walking or cycling distance of the Airport. Improvements to public transport, walking and cycling connections will improve access for staff and visitors alike. The NSW Government is currently progressing: • The Sydney Gateway project, including major new road linkages between the motorway network and the domestic and international terminals. • Airport Precinct road upgrade projects, with East Precinct works covering Wentworth Avenue, Botany Road, Mill Pond Road, Joyce Drive and General Holmes Drive, Mascot; West Precinct work, in the vicinity of Marsh Street, Arncliffe; and North Precinct work in the vicinity of O’Riordan Street, Mascot.

We believe that providing and maintaining open and accessible space for the community is very important. We also believe safe, connuous, and connected bike routes will encourage more people to ride their bikes more oen – an outcome that is consistent with NSW and Local Government strategies to realise the considerable individual and public benefits of increasing the mode share of acve travel (walking or cycling). As such, BIKEast submits the following comments. ● We are pleased to see that the proposed replacement route provided is the most direct alternave to the connecon being removed. ● We are pleased to see menon for adding acve travel connecvity to Sydney’s network as outlined in NSW and Local Government strategy. However, we object to the Sydney Gateway project and propose that the project should not be approved, unl it is strongly aligned with current NSW Government policies and plans, to meet its stated goal “ making journeys from west and south-west Sydney to Sydney Airport, the M5, Eastern Distributor and Port Botany easier, faster and safer”, for all customers. Summary of issues 1.

  • AECOM to Design Sydney Gateway Road Project in Australia
    AECOM to design Sydney Gateway Road Project in Australia December 8, 2020 Creating a new connection from Sydney motorway network at St Peters interchange, to Sydney Airport, towards Port Botany and beyond LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 2020-- AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s premier infrastructure consulting firm, announced today that it has been selected to provide the civil engineering design for Sydney’s $2.6 billion Gateway Road Project, a new 5-kilometer, above ground, toll-free connection from the recently opened St Peters Interchange to Sydney airport, Port Botany and beyond. “The Sydney Gateway is the kind of large, complex and transformational project that suits AECOM and our ability to leverage the specialist technical skills from our global transportation business,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s president. “The project will divert up to 10,000 trucks from local streets by providing an alternative route and return local streets to the community. Importantly, Sydney Gateway will also make it easier and safer for pedestrians and cyclists to access the airport precinct and employment hub through the creation of approximately three kilometers of new shared pathways.” Completing this missing link in the Sydney motorway network will improve traffic flow around the airport and towards New South Wales’ busiest container port, taking thousands of large trucks off local streets and providing a more efficient and safer connection to the domestic and international terminals for visitors and workers. “The infrastructure pipeline in Sydney is very strong, and we are partnering with our clients to help deliver their projects through our innovative technical solutions and our commitment to digital engineering,” said Richard Barrett, AECOM’s chief executive, Australia New Zealand.
