This committee has issued this early report due to the NSW Government’s decision to truncate the electric railway during the Christmas holidays on Boxing Day 2014. This report focuses on the proposals to truncate the Newcastle heavy rail line at Wickham and construct light rail to the Newcastle city centre. Both proposals have generated significant debate within the community. The committee is concerned that the decision to truncate the rail line was based upon a flawed cost benefit analysis, and that no other business case on the truncation has been made available. We are also deeply concerned that the decision to construct the light rail was made without full consideration of alternative options, and that both decisions appear to have been made without adequate consideration of the concerns expressed by much of the community. We do not believe that the truncation of the heavy rail line should proceed as currently planned. We have recommended that no steps be taken to remove rail infrastructure until there is a peer-reviewed report that has thoroughly considered the economic, social and environmental costs and benefits of the alternative options of removing and retaining the existing rail line. Such options could include sinking the rail line, constructing additional overbridges and/or level crossings, landscaping the existing rail corridor and reducing train speeds. The committee is perplexed by the NSW Government’s decision to truncate the heavy rail line at Wickham on Boxing Day, given that the construction of the light rail is not expected to commence until late 2015 and there is no defined completion date. We are especially concerned that the interim transport measures will be an inferior public transport solution for the people of Newcastle and the broader Hunter. We have therefore recommended that, if the truncation of the heavy rail line does proceed, the NSW Government postpone the date of truncation until construction of the light rail service commences. There has been widespread scepticism

  • LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Friday, 2 December 1994
    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Friday, 2 December 1994 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. Kevin Richard Rozzoli) took the chair at 9.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. ABORIGINAL RECONCILIATION Mr FAHEY (Southern Highlands - Premier, and Minister for Economic Development) [9.00]: I move: That this House: (1) notes that in 1991 the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia unanimously enacted the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation Act 1991 to promote a process of reconciliation between the indigenous and wider Australian communities; (2) supports the concept of constructive reconciliation between indigenous and wider Australian communities; and (3) in acknowledgment of this support, adopts, as a vision shared by this House, the vision of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation, namely, "A united Australia which respects this land of ours; values the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage, and provides justice and equity for all". This motion will, I trust, be accepted unanimously here today and its sentiments added to those of the nation's other legislative changes where similar motions have been adopted as resolutions. The success of the reconciliation process depends upon the goodwill and good faith of everyone involved. The Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation was established by a unanimous vote of the Commonwealth Parliament in 1991. It is working to achieve reconciliation by engendering respect in the community for the culture and achievements of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders and an understanding of their unique position in our society. The people of New South Wales are represented on this council by the Hon. Helen Sham-Ho, MLC, who is chairperson of the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Aboriginal affairs.
