5.5 Government agency and stakeholder involvement<br />

To date, Roads and Maritime has consulted with various Government agencies<br />

including City <strong>of</strong> Sydney Council (refer section 5.4), Transport for NSW, CSTTC and<br />

the NSW State Transit Authority. It has also consulted with other key stakeholders,<br />

including the chamber <strong>of</strong> commerce (Sydney Business Chamber, NSW Business<br />

Chamber) and affected businesses (refer section 5.4).<br />

The consultation has involved regular correspondence, one-on-one meetings,<br />

briefings and site walkovers with the proposal’s concept designers. These meetings<br />

were carried out to provide stakeholders with an overview <strong>of</strong> the proposal, to outline<br />

the proposal’s objectives, and to gather stakeholder feedback.<br />

At the time <strong>of</strong> publication <strong>of</strong> this REF, no formal (written) feedback had been received<br />

from any Government agencies.<br />

5.6 Ongoing or future consultation<br />

This section describes the ongoing and future consultation that will take place during<br />

and following the REF’s display and during construction should the proposal be<br />

determined.<br />

5.6.1 Response to submissions<br />

This REF will be placed on public display for comment by Government agencies,<br />

stakeholders and the community. Following the public display period, Roads and<br />

Maritime will collate submissions and respond to issues raised in a submissions<br />

report. After consideration <strong>of</strong> community comments, Roads and Maritime will<br />

determine whether the proposal should proceed as proposed or whether any<br />

alterations to the proposal are necessary. It will also decide if additional<br />

<strong>environmental</strong> assessment needs to be carried out or additional <strong>environmental</strong><br />

safeguards or management measures need implementing. A Community Update<br />

advising the community and stakeholders <strong>of</strong> the outcome <strong>of</strong> consultation will be<br />

distributed, and will be accompanied by door-knocking and meetings with directly<br />

affected persons and organisations.<br />

5.6.2 Detailed design or pre-construction consultation<br />

Roads and Maritime, in partnership with Transport for NSW, would undertake the<br />

following ongoing consultation if the proposal is determined:<br />

· Community and business consultation to assist in managing impacts during<br />

construction in the form <strong>of</strong> direct one-on-one meetings and wider business<br />

forum meetings<br />

· Further Government agency consultation again in the form <strong>of</strong> meetings,<br />

focusing on the City <strong>of</strong> Sydney Council, bus companies, Transport for NSW,<br />

the chamber <strong>of</strong> commerce (Sydney Business Chamber, NSW Business<br />

Chamber) and impacted businesses<br />

· Community and business consultation to provide regular updates as the<br />

detailed design is being progressed and during construction<br />

· Regular website updates.<br />
