Executive Summary
Macquarie Park Traffic Study Final Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background City of Ryde (CoR) is currently in the process of amending and translating its Local Environment Plan (LEP), DCP and Public Domain Plan (PDP) for Macquarie Park, in recognition of the significant growth potential of the area. With over 2,000,000m2 in commercial floor space expected, including significant expansion of Macquarie Park Shopping Centre and Macquarie University, there is a need to ensure that there is sufficient transport infrastructure for access to, from and within the area. CoR has initiated both a traffic study and a pedestrian movement study for Macquarie Park to consider the needs and effects of the proposed LEP, defined as LEP2008. This report is for the traffic study component and covers: . the establishment of a base year (2007) Paramics micro-simulation model to be used as the basis for the assessment of traffic network options out to year 2031; . using the Paramics model, developing an understanding of the traffic situation that would arise in 2031 if no changes to the current road network or LEP were made; . presenting and understanding the likely traffic patterns in 2031 to, from and within Macquarie Park and importantly how the growth between 2007 and 2031 will evolve in particular parts of Macquarie Park; . developing a case for a target public transport mode split for the area, given likely rail and bus improvements mixed with an emphasis on workplace travel plans and parking management, and hence determining what discounting of traffic demand would be reasonable to apply; . developing and testing “local” network options and connections within Macquarie Park; .

This Is an Objection to Many Aspects of the Proposed Northconnex Tunnel
SUMMARY OF CONCERNS IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED NORTHCONNEX TUNNEL This is an objection to many aspects of the proposed NorthConnex tunnel. We would like to record that we are in favour of a tunnel linking the M2 with the F3 / M1. We see this as a necessary improvement to The Hills Area and the Sydney road network as a whole. It will clearly benefit most residents along the Pennant Hills Road corridor. It will also greatly benefit the long-haul freight vehicles travelling between Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. However, on careful reading of the NorthConnex Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), we have serious concerns with regard to the tunnel project as it is currently proposed in the EIS. Our concerns are detailed in six sections which show the changes we consider necessary to make the project acceptable. Section A - Page 2 The connectivity of the NorthConnex Southern Ventilation facility at the Southern Interchange, the southbound tunnel in particular. Section B - Page 16 The location and operation of the NorthConnex Southern Ventilation facility at the Southern Interchange. Section C - Page 17 Air Quality and Health. Section D - Page 20 Traffic arrangements during and after the construction of the Northconnex tunnel. Section E - Page 22 The restoration and preservation of the landscape around residential properties. Section F - Page 23 Involvement in the consultation process after the closure date for submissions in relation to the EIS. Date: 6 August 2014 Page 1 of 23 SECTION A: THE CONNECTIVITY OF NORTHCONNEX SOUTHERN VENTILATION FACILITY AT THE SOUTHERN INTERCHANGE, THE SOUTHBOUND TUNNEL IN PARTICULAR On careful reading of the NorthConnex Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) , which purports to include all details of the project construction We find that there is no detailed description of how and where the southbound tunnel will be connected to the ventilation facility at the southern interchange.

ASX Release Template
asx release 2 February 2015 Financial Close on the NorthConnex Project in NSW Transurban, along with its partners in the Westlink M7, announces financial close on the NorthConnex project in Sydney, NSW. This represents the culmination of a process initiated and led by Transurban that began with the submission of an unsolicited proposal to the NSW Government in March 2012. Key project details remain consistent with the in-principle agreement announced in May 2013, when the project progressed into Stage 3 of the unsolicited proposal assessment process. NorthConnex project construction and capital cost The NorthConnex project includes the following construction and capital costs: • Nine kilometre tolled twin tunnels connecting the southern end of the M1 Pacific Highway at Wahroonga to the Hills M2 Motorway at the Pennant Hills Road interchange; • Total project cost of approximately $2.9 billion, which includes a fixed price Design and Construction contract to be delivered by a Lend Lease / Bouygues Construction joint venture, together with development, planning, approvals, and financing costs; • Combined Federal and NSW Government contribution of circa $800 million; • Construction will commence early in 2015 and is expected to be complete by the end of 2019; and • M7 and NorthConnex to be wholly owned by the umbrella entity known as North West Roads Group. Transurban will own 50% of the North West Roads Group. NorthConnex project financial returns The NorthConnex project will deliver financial returns principally through the following sources: • Toll revenue derived from the NorthConnex tunnel through a concession agreement until 2048, governed by pricing that is aligned with the Hills M2 main toll point (currently cars $6.36 and trucks $19.06) and quarterly escalation of CPI or one percent (whichever is greater); and • M7 concession adjustments comprising a concession extension to June 2048 (11.4 years) and an increase in the truck toll multiplier to three times the rate for cars (currently parity with cars) commencing in early February 2015.

In the 1920s the NSW government was proposing a railway line which would link Eastwood with St. Leonards and assist in the development of post WWI Sydney. The route of the rail line was to be built along the approximate line of today’s Epping Road and would allow for the development of the suburbs away from the foreshores of the river.
