PART FIVE : THE SYDNEY 2000 LEGACY 5.2 Summary of Legacies – All Agencies There are many examples of legacies to the State, which have resulted from the preparation for and conduct of the Games. These include the many new and upgraded sporting venues, the redevelopment of Homebush Bay as Sydney Olympic Park and supporting infrastructure acquired by NSW Government agencies. This chapter summarises the legacy benefits for NSW arising from the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games as outlined in this report: • Venues and Facilities • OCA - Planning, Co-ordination and Operations • Transport • Security • Health and Medical • Waterways and Harbour Management • Other Olympic Services Venues and Facilities A provision of the OCA legislation was that Olympic venues and facilities were suitable for use after the Olympic Games and met the long term requirements of Sydney. OCA’s venue procurement and construction policy provided for the long term provision of venues for the various Olympic sports. This legacy requirement has resulted in state of the art venues being placed in key areas of western Sydney as well as Sydney Olympic Park (SOP): • Sydney Olympic Park Infrastructure and Common Domain • Integrated Water Cycle Development • Sydney Olympic Park Hotel • Millennium Parklands • Bicentennial Park • The Suburb of Newington • Stadium Australia • Sydney SuperDome • Sydney Aquatic Centre • Sydney Athletic Centre • State Hockey Centre • State Sports Centre • NSW Tennis Centre • Sydney International Archery Park • Sydney International Equestrian Centre • Dunc Gray Velodrome • Sydney International Shooting Centre • Sydney International Regatta Centre • Penrith Whitewater Stadium • Blacktown Olympic Centre • Ryde Aquatic Centre • Olympic Sailing Shore Base The development of SOP has provided a legacy of world class sporting facilities and the surrounding parklands provide a recreational legacy for the State. These facilities feature world-class environmental initiatives recognised internationally. The Games represented a milestone in the setting of standards for venue design particularly in respect of disability access. These benefits remain in all of Sydney’s permanent Games venues.
PART FIVE : THE SYDNEY 2000 LEGACY OCA - Planning, Co-ordination and Operations Invaluable experience gained from all OCA programs will assist with preparation for future major events. The development and promotion of transport infrastructure has established public transport as a critical support to major events at SOP. Transport • 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. Security • Capital purchases included communications equipment enhancements, water police vessels and other specialist police equipment, which will continue to be used well beyond the period of the Games. • The tactical and operational cooperation that occurred between State police jurisdictions, other State agencies, Commonwealth and international agencies was unprecedented in many areas and, with the policies, systems and relationships developed, provides a significant legacy. • In many areas, the training courses developed in preparation for the Games will benefit future operations through enhanced capability. • In respect of counter terrorism capability, improved cross-jurisdictional training, upgraded infrastructure at various locations, and major electronic surveillance assets acquired will provide a long-term benefit to the community and the NSW Police Service. • At the time of the Games the intelligence based risk management methodology developed by the Olympic Intelligence Centre was regarded internationally as “world best practice” and has been adopted for use at other international sporting events. Health and Medical • Invaluable experience and skills gained will benefit future health care services provided to major events. • Partnerships between NSW Department of Health, Public Health Units, emergency departments, laboratories and other Government agencies have been enhanced. • The Olympic surveillance and reporting experience has provided a valuable framework for future use. • The Olympic Food Safety Program provided the following legacies: Area Public Health Units can utilise Operation Foodwatch data. Minor assets acquired to support the Games program will be utilised by Public Health Units. • The Olympic Environmental Health Program provided the following legacies: The establishment of an accurate cooling tower register. 90
