Sydney Ferries is not a party to that contract which is entered on behalf of the State of New South Wales by Transport for NSW. However a copy of the contract is held by staff who provide services to Sydney Ferries under a corporate services agreement with Transport for NSW and on that basis it is acknowledged that Sydney Ferries has a copy of the contract in its possession for the purposes of the Order. A public version of the Ferry System Contract as published on the Transport for NSW website in accordance with the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 is produced. The copy of the Ferry System Contract as in the possession of Sydney Ferries is also produced. A claim of privilege is made in respect of that document. Sydney Ferries' response to paragraphs (b) - (d) of the Order Paragraphs (b)- (d) of the Order require the production of correspondence and documents as described. I note in this regard that Sydney Ferries is the ferry asset owner but the ferries are .operated and maintained by the ferry system contractor at the time under a charter and its contract with Transport for NSW. As a result Sydney Ferries holds only a small number of documents within these categories including none in category (d). Claims of privilege are made in respect of some of the documents produced. Certification I certify, subject to the matters set out above and to the best of my knowledge, that all documents held by Sydney Ferries that are covered by the terms of the Order and lawfully required to be provided, have been provided.

This submission has been prepared in support of the claims for privilege made by the Office of the Minister for Transport and Roads in relation to Document 1 of Annexure B. It is to be noted that these claims for privilege are not raised as a basis to resist production of the documents that are within scope of the Resolution. Rather, these claims are made, pursuant to Standing Order 52(5), in order to allow the Legislative Council to consider the claims and in support of an application that it is in the public interest that the documents should not be made publicly available. It is submitted that the document identified in the enclosed index contains information in relation to the commercial interests of the State (including Transport for NSW), and that the public interest in its non-disclosure outweighs the interest in its disclosure. In support of this claim, it is submitted that such information would ordinarily be protected from public disclosure under the common law or the Government Information (Public Access) Act.

  • Transdev Australasia Submission For: NTC - Developing a Heavy Vehicle Fatigue Data Framework
    Transdev Australasia submission for: NTC - Developing a heavy vehicle fatigue data framework Company Overview Transdev Australasia (Transdev) is a public transport operator in Australia and New Zealand − delivering more than 120 million customer journeys each year. The company employs 5,300 staff across five modes of transport in seven distinct locations across Australasia. Transdev has light rail operations in Sydney, and bus operations in metropolitan Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Darwin. It operates ferries in Brisbane and in Sydney in a joint venture with Transfield Services. Response for consideration Summary of Fatigue issues – In principle, Transdev considers that the heavy vehicle fatigue data framework (the framework) is a step in the right direction for industry. The Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and framework should encapsulate every aspect of compliance, monitoring and review across all states and territories prior to establishing standard data criteria for the framework. This means that legislation, policy, enforcement, medical standards, data capturing and reporting all need to be consistent or standardised across all jurisdictions. The HVNL currently regulates heavy vehicle driver fatigue in every Australian jurisdiction except WA and the NT. With regards to priorities in the operation of Metropolitan and Regional busses, it is the quantity and quality of sleep that impacts on driver well-being, which in turn affects their fitness to work and should be examined together as a whole. The framework was established for heavy vehicle drivers who typically do long haul journeys that are most at risk. The current framework has a minimal focus on Metropolitan/Regional bus drivers, who work shifts and fluctuate under / above the 100km radius.

  • Transdev to Deliver New Benefits for Customers, Securing Sydney Ferries Contract Until 2028
    TRANSDEV TO DELIVER NEW BENEFITS FOR CUSTOMERS, SECURING SYDNEY FERRIES CONTRACT UNTIL 2028 Sydney, 27 February 2019 Transdev has welcomed the opportunity to continue to operate and maintain the iconic Sydney Ferries on behalf of the NSW Government until at least 2028, following the award of a new contract announced today. Transdev has operated Sydney Ferries as well as Balmain Shipyard since 2012, through its subsidiary Harbour City Ferries and achieved record on time running and customer satisfaction results during that time. Transdev Australasia’s CEO Luke Agati said: “We are proud and indeed delighted to have been chosen to continue to operate Sydney’s ferry services, and we are looking forward to delivering many improvements during the life of the new contract. “We appreciate that the delivery of the new Sydney Ferries contract is important, not only to us and our team of 583 employees but to the 15.3 million customers who have been choosing to travel with us each year,” he said. The new contract will deliver a range of new benefits to customers including more frequent services, new vessels and a trial of new On Demand services in the Bays Precinct later this year. Managing Director of Transdev Sydney Ferries (formerly Harbour City Ferries) Martin Kearney said: “Reflecting on what is important to our customers has given us real insight into how we can better meet their needs, and ultimately grow Sydney Ferries patronage in the years ahead. “We know our customers and our community have high expectations. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue our journey with them, delivering ferry services fit for today and tomorrow.” The new Sydney Ferries contract further strengthens Transdev’s ties to the Sydney community, with the company also operating bus and light rail networks, as well as On Demand Transport pilots in Sutherland Shire and Manly.
