PART FOUR : NSW GOVERNMENT AGENCIES GAMES SUPPORT SERVICES wharf kerbing, replacing steelwork and repairing buildings such as gatehouses were undertaken at the floating hotel sites. All berths required a range of additional items and services including bus shelters, road markings, sewer connections, water supply, lighting, security fences and gates. In addition, bus access and turning loops, baggage handling and storage facilities, sponsor guest processing facilities and ship servicing facilities (such as waste provisions) were established. An important part of the design brief was to minimise disruption to normal use of berths. This meant that the temporary works were pre-fabricated for rapid installation and removal. Items such as covered walkways were assembled in modules offsite and security barriers were formed with walls of doublestacked shipping containers. To minimise the impact on the port, a strategic three-day “bump in” and a two-day “bump out” plan was established. Super Yacht Marina A Super Yacht Marina was constructed at Rozelle Bay to cater for visiting vessels during the Olympic Games. The facility consists of 20 berths, each capable of mooring vessels up to 75 metres in length, with 16 stern to a floating pontoon system and 4 stern to the hard dock. A further 20 smaller berths capable of accommodating vessels up to 15 metres were built as part of the floating pontoon system. The Waterways Authority facilitated a variety of support services for super yachts including electricity, telephone, fresh water and sewerage connections. In addition, security gates were installed at the top of each pontoon. The Waterways Authority provided visiting captains with instructions on cruising in Sydney Harbour and worked closely with Customs and Quarantine to ensure entry into Sydney was as seamless as possible. The Super Yacht Marina hosted 13 vessels during the Sydney Games, ranging from 32 to 71 metres in length. Games-time Results There were very few instances of non-compliance with Olympic arrangements. The co-operation of commercial and recreational users of the Harbour contributed to the success of on-water events. Sydney continued to function as a working port during the Games and Sydney Ports facilitated the use of visiting cruise ships as floating hotels. Legacy The following legacies have arisen from Sydney Ports Corporation and NSW Waterways Authority involvement in the Sydney 2000 Games: • Enhanced understanding of the operational requirements for large events. Resources and logistics were managed efficiently in a complex operating environment. • The SHOC has been reestablished at Rozelle Bay as a State Operations Centre from September 2001. This Centre functions as a central control mechanism for major events on Sydney Harbour and elsewhere in NSW, as well as a command centre to manage incidents and safety compliance campaigns. • The Sydney Harbour Plan of Management has provided a snapshot of Sydney Harbour in the year 2000 that can be used for future planning and waterways management. • The Super Yacht Marina represents a legacy asset for the NSW Government. 69
PART FOUR : NSW GOVERNMENT AGENCIES GAMES SUPPORT SERVICES 4.6 Other Services Other NSW Government agencies provided various key support services and facilities during the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The total cost of these agencies was $23.4 million. This includes the following agencies as well as others with little or no marginal cost impact from the Games: 1. NSW Fire Brigades 2. Department of Sport and Recreation 3. National Parks and Wildlife Service 4. Royal Botanic Gardens 5. State Emergency Services 6. Premier's Department 1. NSW Fire Brigades The NSW Fire Brigades (NSWFB) provided fire and emergency protection to athletes, officials, spectators and the Olympic Family during the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The cost of NSW Fire Brigades services during the Games was $3.4 million (comprised of $3.1 million operating expenditure and $0.3 million supporting infrastructure). The NSWFB's “Fire Crew 2000”, comprising 40 Station Officers and 120 fire fighters, were stationed within venues. Over 80% of the NSWFB’s Olympic Budget related to wages as increased service demands were met by personnel working overtime. NSWFB delivered the following services and achievements during the Games: • Preparation and Capability • Venue Protection • Chemical, Biological and Radiological (CBR) Response • Games-time Results • Legacy Preparation and Capability In 1995 NSWFB established an Olympic Co-ordinating Committee to allocate responsibility for Games planning and preparation to line managers. This Committee continued until the establishment of a dedicated Olympic Planning Office in 1998. NSWFB worked in conjunction with OCA, SOCOG, NSW Police and other agencies to provide the highest level of emergency service during the Games. NSWFB conducted a comprehensive risk assessment process to support its preparation for the Games, and adopted necessary risk reduction strategies. NSWFB's Games capability comprised: • Venue Fire Crews. • External response capability from existing fire stations, providing support to venues crews. • Urban Search and Rescue response capability. • Chemical, Biological and Radiological Response (CBR) capability. • A Reconnaissance team was available on a 24 hour basis from 15 September to 4 October to provide specialist command support to ground crews in the event of structural collapse or CBR incidents. • NSWFB established a Brigades' Olympic and Paralympic Co-ordination Centre to manage the day to day co-ordination of staffing and logistical requirements for the Olympic and Paralympic venues. • Brigades Liaison Officers were strategically positioned in external co-ordination centres during the Olympic and Paralympic periods to ensure effective communication and co-ordination between agencies and to arrange access to Games venues and restricted areas when required. 70
