Future land uses and development precincts
The proposal would be constructed at the same time as Barangaroo, Wynyard Walk
(precinct 1: north west), Circular Quay (precinct 1: north west and precinct 2: retail),
Darling Harbour (precinct 2: retail). CSELR early works (precinct 1: north west,
precinct 2: retail) and the APDG development (precinct 2: retail), the impacts of which
are considered further in section 6-15.
The proposal would not inhibit, conflict with, or affect land use development within
these precincts. Its only impact would be indirect, relating to the potential for shortterm
minor traffic delays through each work site during construction (refer to
section 6.1.3). The work would be staged and programmed to reduce travel delays
during times of heaviest traffic demand, which would include any required access to
these development precincts (eg during critical delivery times).
Property impacts during construction
Property acquisition
No property acquisition, adjustments or leasing would be required as part of the
proposal (refer to section 3.6). This includes the likely construction
compounds/laydown areas which are already established (refer to section 3.4.2).
Roadside property
Adjacent roadside property would not be affected during construction. This includes
any direct awning impacts (eg removal or partial removal). However, amenity values
and access would be affected in a number of locations as described in section 6.1.3
and section 6.4.3 respectively.
Road reserve property
Access to existing road reserve property would be restricted by the temporarily
removing or restricting access to certain sections of road and footpath. This would
result in the temporary loss of:
- Utilities
- Advertising boards
- Street lighting
- Awnings and awning signage
- Advertisement signs
- Bollards and barriers
- Trees
- Benches and seating
- Telephone box
- Bus shelters/stops
- Rubbish bins
- Bicycle racks
- Mail boxes.
The locations where utilities would be adjusted are described in Table 3-14. Roads
and Maritime would work with utility suppliers, businesses and City of Sydney to
identify any conflicts in maintenance or upgrade schedules (refer section 6.5.4).
Emergency access for maintaining these assets would be managed in accordance
with the provisions set out in section 6.14.4. Furthermore, all service providers would
be contacted before construction to determine their emergency access requirements,
with provisions included in the CEMP (refer section 6.5.4). Consequently, the
associated impact is assessed as negligible.
The temporary kerbside and footpath restrictions would also affect up 15 bus stops
as described in section 6.1.3 with the associated socioeconomic impacts discussed
in section 6.4.3.
