IPA supports the planning principles that have resulted from the first phase of consultation on the Bays Precinct and looks forward to seeing them implemented during Stage 2 and into the future. IPA particularly supports the position on the Rozelle Rail Yards – the yards should remain reserved for future transport infrastructure is vital to Sydney’s future public transport provision. Much of the Bays Precinct will be utilised for mixed land-use such as residential, commercial and open space. However, the decision to set aside potential transport and infrastructure corridors and bases, including the rail yards at Rozelle and possible ferry infrastructure at White Bay and Glebe Island, demonstrates a coordinated strategic approach to land-use planning - an approach that has been lacking in NSW’s recent history.

    Hanson Construction Materials Pty Ltd ABN 90 009 679 734 Level 18 2 ‐ 12 Macquarie Street Parramatta NSW 2150 Tel +612 9354 2600 Fax +612 9325 2695 www.hanson.com.au 1.0 Introduction This report is prepared in relation to a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for an Aggregate Handling and Concrete Batching facility at Glebe Island (SSD 8854). Glebe Island currently operates as a working industrial port under the management of Ports Authority of NSW (Port Authority). The aggregate handling and concrete batching facility is proposed adjacent to the existing Glebe Island Berth 1 (GLB1) terminal. Aggregate is proposed to be delivered by ship to the GLB1 berth at Glebe Island. This report provides information relating to marine traffic, navigation and safety and outlines any potential maritime safety issues, and measures required to minimise and mitigate any impacts resulting from the proposed development. 2.0 Background The SSDA was submitted to the Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E) in March 2018 and subsequently placed on formal public exhibition for 5 weeks, between 11 April 2018 and 15 May 2018. On 20 August 2018, a Request for Additional Information (RFI) was issued by the DP&E. This report responds to the additional information sought in relation to the maritime traffic, safety and navigation impact assessment (Issues 30 – 32 under Schedule 1) for the new facility at Glebe Island. For the purposes of this SSDA, this statement provides a preliminary navigation impact assessment and outlines the general processes and guidelines in place that governs marine traffic flow within the context of the site at GLB1, Glebe Island and Sydney Harbour.

  • Contaminant Chemistry and Toxicity of Sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia: Spatial Extent and Chemistry–Toxicity Relationships

Birch1,*, Stephanie McCready1, Edward R. Long2, Stuart S. Taylor1, 3, Gina Spyrakis1 1School of Geosciences, Environmental Geology Group, The University of Sydney, New South Wales, 2006, Australia 2ERL Environmental, 3691 Cole Road South, Salem, Oregon 97306, USA 3URS, 116 Miller St., North Sydney, New South Wales, 2060, Australia ABSTRACT: The spatial distribution of chemical contamination and toxicity of surficial sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia, was investigated in a 3-tiered, hierarchical approach. An initial chemical investigation throughout the entire estuary (Stage 1) indicated wide ranges and different spatial patterns in sediment chemical concentrations. Sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) were used as a preliminary estimate of possible toxicity in Stage 2 of the investigation. Assessment of chemical mixtures indicated that sediments in a small part (~2%) of the harbour had the highest probability of being toxic (~75%), whereas sediment in almost 25% of the port was estimated to have an inter- mediate (~50%) probability of being toxic. The SQG assessment in Stage 2 enabled careful stratifica- tion of the harbour into areas with different toxicity risks, reducing cost and time commitments in the final tier of assessment. The spatial survey carried out in Stage 3 involved concurrent chemical and ecotoxicological analyses. In this final stage, the degree of response in tests of amphipod survival in whole sediment samples, as well as in tests of microbial metabolism (Microtox©) and sea urchin egg fertilisation and embryo development in pore waters, generally increased with increasing chemical concentrations.

The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW).

  • Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3
    Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3 Summary of key outcomes: Sydney’s ports provide a vital economic gateway for the Australian and NSW economies. In 2001/02, Sydney’s ports handled approximately $42 billion worth of international trade which represents 17% of Australia’s total international trade and 56% of NSW’s international air and sea cargo trade by value. Due to its proximity to the Sydney market, Port Botany is and will remain the primary port for the import and export of containerised cargo in NSW. Currently, over 90% of container trade passing through Sydney’s ports is handled at Port Botany. Port Botany Expansion Environmental Impact Statement – Volume 1 Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3 3 Existing Port Facilities 3.1 Role and Significance of Sydney’s Ports The port facilities of Sydney are located at Port Botany and within Sydney Harbour. These ports, along with the airport, are the economic gateways to NSW. This is reflected by the fact that in 2001/02 Sydney’s ports handled approximately $42 billion worth of international trade. This represents: $10,000 for each person in the greater Sydney region, which has a population of close to 4 million; 56% of NSW’s total international air and sea cargo trade by value; and 17% of Australia’s total international trade. Cargo throughput through Sydney’s ports (Sydney Ports Corporation owned and private berths) during 2001/02 was 24.3 million mass tonnes, with containerised cargo accounting for 43.9%. This trade comprised more than 1 million TEUs, 183,000 motor vehicles and about 13.6 million mass tonnes of bulk and general cargo.
