ITLS-WP-19-21.Pdf (PDF, 4.7MB) WORKING PAPER ITLS-WP-19-21 Overview of Australian Urban Road Tunnels By Peter Ridley Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies, University of Sydney Business School, NSW 2006, Australia November 2019 ISSN 1832-570X INSTITUTE of TRANSPORT and LOGISTICS STUDIES The Australian Key Centre in Transport and Logistics Management The University of Sydney Established under the Australian Research Council’s Key Centre Program. NUMBER: Working Paper ITLS-WP-19-21 TITLE: Overview of Australian Urban Road Tunnels “Ask not for whom the road tolls; it tolls for thee.” Bowdlerised from: John Donne [1624]; Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, Meditation XVII. This paper collates data (location, size, cost of construction, ABSTRACT: maintenance and operation) on long Australian urban road tunnels exceeding 1 km in length with opening dates up to 2020. An understanding of traffic behaviour, demand and toll revenue leads to estimations of return on investment and costs. Operating constraints and parameters; traffic flow, pollution and energy consumption are used to evaluate the performance of the tunnels along with their safety (accidents and fire) record. EY WORDS: AUTHORS: Ridley CONTACT: INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS STUDIES (H73) The Australian Key Centre in Transport and Logistics Management The University of Sydney NSW 2006 Australia Telephone: +612 9114 1824 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: http://sydney.edu.au/business/itls DATE: November 2019 Overview of Australian Urban Road Tunnels Ridley Introduction Urban road tunnels in Australia have been the subject of considerable public controversy regarding cost, efficacy and safety. The purpose of this document is to collect data relevant to these issues for major Australian road-tunnels including; • tunnel location and geometry, • cost of construction, maintenance and operation, • traffic demand, toll revenue and return on investment, • operating constraints and performance parameters; traffic flow, pollution, energy consumption, • safety; traffic accidents and fire incidents. Sources of data are generally from public domain documents, which may be susceptible to problems with currency, rounding errors and interpretation. Data highlighted in red text are identified as being estimates. Tunnel inventory Road tunnels examined in this paper exceed one kilometre in length and are located in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne [55,71]. They are generally procured through public-private partnerships where the public sector provides a reference design and the facility is built, owned, operated by the private partner and transferred to public ownership after the concession period (up to 40 years) has expired. Superannuation funds own a large proportion of the equity in the toll-road operating companies for the following reasons [48]; • Diversification: there is a low observed correlation over time with other asset classes. • Illiquidity premium: unlisted infrastructure assets are illiquid with constrained exit options, providing an illiquidity premium for investors. • Inflation protection: infrastructure assets typically generate cashflows with built-in escalation regimes that protect against inflation. • Returns: investment returns have compared favourably with other asset classes over time. • Stable, defensive assets with low volatility: due to inelastic demand, most infrastructure assets can protect against an economic downturn, with higher average returns than traditional defensive assets such as cash or bonds. Table 1 shows that Transurban has a dominant position in the ownership and operation of these assets. Notable exceptions are; (1) Sydney Harbour Tunnel; Kumagi Gumi (50%), Transfield (25%), Tenix (25%) (2) M5 East; Road and Marine Services (100%), is the only currently publicly owned, un-tolled tunnel. (3) Queensland Motorways [81], (who owned, CLEM7, Go Between Bridge, Gateway Motorway and Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges; the Gateway Extension, Logan Motorway and Legacy Way) was sold in 2014 for $7.1 billion to a consortium comprising Transurban (62.5%), AustralianSuper & Tawreed Investments (37.5%). (4) NorthConnex will receive $0.8 billion of State and Federal Government funding; remainder Transurban (50%), Canada Pension Plan & QIDC (50%). (5) Eastlink; ConnectEast was refinanced is now owned by Horizon Roads (100%); consortium of eight overseas superannuation and pension funds. 1 Overview of Australian Urban Road Tunnels Ridley M4 East has been recently opened and NorthConnex tunnel is currently under construction, where opening date given in Table 1 is only approximate. In various stages of planning and construction are; five more Sydney tunnel projects (New M5, M4-M5 Link, Western Harbour Crossing, Northern Beaches Link and F6 Extension) as well as Melbourne’s Westgate and North East Link. These tunnels have proposed opening dates later than 2020 and are not analysed in this paper. Several of the tunnels noted in Table 1 are a combination of two and three lane sections; these are designated as having a width of 2.5 lanes. Figure 1 gives a graphical view of the relative size (lane- km; excluding ramps) of each of the tunnels studied. Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the routes of each of the tunnels along with adjoining toll-roads, both existing and proposed. Table 1.

Prevailing geology determines the means of excavation. Sydney tunnels in soft sandstone are mined using a road-header (RH) whereas Brisbane tuff requires the use of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) for two lane tunnels and road header for three lane sections. Sydney Harbour tunnel was constructed using prefabricated concrete sections (120m long) which were submerged and joined on the harbour floor.

    Submission Cover Sheet North East Link Project EES IAC 402 Request to be heard?: No, but please email me th Full Name: Phil Turner Organisation: Maroondah City Council Affected property: Attachment 1: Maroondah_Coun Attachment 2: Maroondah_Coun Attachment 3: Comments: To the North East Link Inquiry & Advisory Committee (IAC) Maroondah Council provides the following submission to the IAC, in relation to the EES for the North East Link project. While Council formally supports the objectives of the NEL project, I advise that the support of Maroondah Council has been conditional on appropriate traffic considerations being made with regard to the impact of the project on the Eastlink tunnels, the Ringwood Bypass and by extension the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. Council previously commissioned a review by O’Brien Traffic that considered the project in the context of the tunnels and impacts on Ringwood, and it was determined that without ancillary works to take traffic pressure off the Eastlink tunnels and the Ringwood Bypass, the project would potentially fail and have a major detrimental impact on the viability of the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. The O’Brien Traffic report attached to this submission details the basis for those concerns. Council’s concerns were previously forwarded to NELA and Council officers have met with NELA officers on these matters, however, to date Council has not received an appropriate response that addresses these concerns, including within the ESS. In support of this submission, the following documents have also been uploaded: o A submission letter signed by Council’s Mayor Rob Steane documenting the history of Council’s dealings regarding NEL, and outlining Council’s concerns current with the project; o Council Report September 2018; o O’Brien Traffic Review dated 12 September 2017; o Council letter to NELA (26 February 2018) and NELA response (14 March 2018); o Correspondence from Council on Bypass concerns (including technical reports); and o Minutes from MCC / NELA meetings 6 April 2018 and 30 April 2018.
