It aims to improve public transport capacity, and to ease traffic congestion which is costing the economy a substantial amount of money each year. It is a complex and large project, with construction occurring down one of Sydney CBD's most congested streets, and the benefits of the project, once finalised, are potentially significant. Unfortunately though, serious questions have been raised in relation to the project's timeframes and costs. It is already delayed by at least a year, and although Transport for NSW would like it to be finalised by December 2019, the official completion date is currently March 2020. There may also be a further two month delay, according to the evidence provided by ALTRAC and Acciona. In terms of costs, unresolved claims for contract modifications, undetermined penalties for delays, and a complex legal dispute between Transport for NSW and Acciona, have raised questions about whether the project will exceed its $2.1 billion budget. This is understandable, given a liquidity facility fund has had to be established for ALTRAC and the department has had to provide $100 million to a contractor to keep the project moving. With infrastructure projects of this magnitude, a degree of disruption is to be expected. However, as this inquiry has shown, the impacts of construction have been profoundly experienced by residents and businesses located along the light rail route. Many have experienced excessive noise, dust, vibration and damage to their homes. Some of these issues have been heightened due to construction delays. The committee acknowledges that the level of noise during works undertaken out of hours has been impinging particularly on residents' lives and that noise has not been adequately monitored. Although alternative accommodation has been offered as a mitigation measure to some residents, the committee understands that this has often been an impracticable option. The impact of this project on businesses has been particularly significant. It was clear to the committee just how much businesses have struggled since the commencement of construction of the light rail, with some having closed down. It has been especially hard for small businesses that have been impacted by barricades, disruption in foot traffic and the severe loss of trade and goodwill. Not only have they endured significant financial losses, their physical and mental wellbeing has also been negatively impacted. This was particularly distressing for committee members to see, and we thank those who came forward to share with us so honestly the affect this project has had on their personal lives. There are lessons to be learnt from how this project has been managed. With this in mind, many of the committee's recommendations are aimed at informing how future major infrastructure projects are planned and implemented, particularly in terms of how construction may affect residents, businesses and the wider community. While it has been a tough time for many affected by this project, I personally hope that once completed, this light rail service will deliver its anticipated benefits. Finally, I would like to thank all those who participated in this inquiry. Your input is greatly valued in assisting the committee's work. I also thank my committee colleagues for their hard work and the committee secretariat for their support. We look forward to seeing this complex project finalised soon. Revd the Hon Fred Nile MLC Committee Chairman viii Report 2 - January 2019 PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE Finding Finding 1 87 The committee finds that the delay of the project has contributed to the distress of residents and businesses.

  • List of NSW Contaminated Sites Notified to EPA As of 9 January 2019
    List of NSW Contaminated Sites Notified to EPA as of 9 January 2019 Background A strategy to systematically assess, prioritise and respond to notifications under Section 60 of the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 (CLM Act) has been developed by the EPA. This strategy acknowledges the EPA’s obligations to make information available to the public under Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. When a site is notified to the EPA, it may be accompanied by detailed site reports where the owner has been proactive in addressing the contamination and its source. However, often there is minimal information on the nature or extent of the contamination. For some notifications, the information indicates the contamination is securely immobilised within the site, such as under a building or carpark, and is not currently causing any offsite consequences to the community or environment. Such sites would still need to be cleaned up, but this could be done in conjunction with any subsequent building or redevelopment of the land. These sites may not require intervention under the CLM Act, but could be dealt with through the planning and development consent process. Where indications are that contamination is significant enough to warrant regulation having regard to the matters in section 12 of the CLM Act, the EPA may apply the regulatory provisions of the CLM Act to have the appropriate person (for example, the responsible polluter and/or landowner) investigate and remediate the site. Where the EPA reasonably suspects that a pollution incident is occurring (or has occurred) at a premise, the EPA, as the appropriate regulatory authority, may choose to regulate the incident and any resulting contamination under the POEO Act by ordering the occupier or the owner to carry out certain actions.
