PART FOUR : NSW GOVERNMENT AGENCIES GAMES SUPPORT SERVICES Legacy The following reflect the ongoing transport legacy: • NSW's public transport system has proven its ability to provide a world class service. The people of Sydney have accepted public transport as an efficient and viable travel option to access major events. • Knowledge gained from the Olympic Transport experience can be applied to future major events across NSW as well as daily travel. • The Games demonstrated the benefit of strong links between event organisers and transport planning. • The Games resulted in an unprecedented level of co-ordination and integration across the State's transport agencies and modes, including co-ordinated planning, integrated ticketing, transport services and improved communications with the public. The Department of Transport is working to build on the success of the Games. • The Games also resulted in improved relations between staff, unions and management through unprecedented levels of co-operation, and improved customer service and community communications through the provision of real time train information. • Public transport in now firmly established as the primary means to travel to Homebush Bay for major events. This will greatly assist the long term viability of Sydney Olympic Park. • Supporting infrastructure programs undertaken by SRA and RTA, such as station upgrades and road improvements, will provide public amenity for many years to come. 55
PART FOUR : NSW GOVERNMENT AGENCIES GAMES SUPPORT SERVICES 4.3 Security To ensure a safe and secure Olympic Games, a unique Olympic security model was developed which was unobtrusive yet effective, in keeping with community expectations. The marginal cost to NSW of the Olympic Security program was $113.3 million, after a SOCOG contribution of $39.5 million. It should be noted that this excludes the cost of Australian Defence Force (ADF) involvement and the cost to interstate police forces for event security outside NSW. The following initiatives represent key services and achievements delivered during the Games: • Games Security Framework • Venue Security • Athletes Village Security • Intelligence • Bomb Management • Dignitary and Athlete Protection • Traffic, Transport and Marine Security • Commonwealth Government Involvement • Legacy Games Security Framework Olympic Security Working Committee The Olympic Security Working Committee (OSWC) was created by the Premier of NSW to oversee all security related planning. It was chaired by the NSW Commissioner of Police, and included the Director Generals of OCA and ORTA and the Deputy Chief Executive of SOCOG as well as senior officers from a number of Commonwealth departments including the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. The OSWC created 12 working groups to examine issues in the following areas: security industry liaison, intelligence, marine security, aviation security, training, communications, personal security, equipment, security volunteers, media liaison, accreditation, and chemical, biological and radiological response. Membership comprised senior personnel from all relevant federal and state government and peak commercial bodies. Olympic Security Command Centre All security planning became the operational responsibility of the Olympic Security Command Centre (OSCC) under the Commissioner of Police. OSCC developed a Dual Security Model to delineate responsibilities for the provision of core and non-core security-related services during the Games. Under this model the SOCOG Spectator Services Program had responsibilities for planning and executing functions of crowd management, ticket checking and other non-core security-related functions. Core security was the responsibility of the NSW Police using their own resources, contract security services and security volunteers, and with the assistance of agencies such as the ADF. OCA had a statutory responsibility for managing government relationships with SOCOG, and OSCC liaised with OCA on security planning issues for venues and events. ORTA had responsibility for planning and delivering transport services for the staging of the Games and associated events, and OSCC worked closely with ORTA on the security and policing aspects of transport arrangements. Conceptual and Strategic Framework The principles guiding security planning were established to: • Protect the integrity of international entry and accreditation processes to ensure they were consistent with security and Australia’s existing policies. 56
