Key issues
Monitoring of bus delays and bus stop restrictions during construction across the proposal footprint to consider
cumulative effects from these other projects and modifying the construction management measures accordingly.
Therefore, there will be a need to manage the interfaces of the construction staging and programming of this proposal in
combination with these other projects to ensure impacts are minimised.
Additional kerbside timing restrictions may occur to service the simultaneous construction of the proposal with other
projects listed in Table 6-68, particularly the CSELR, the Sydney City Centre Cycleway project and the Sydney City
Centre Bus Infrastructure project.
The length of time the restrictions would be in place would depend on the duration, type and extent of work needed in
each location. It is assumed that the restrictions may be in place for over three months in locations where more major
work would be taking place (refer to Table 3-3 to Table 3-7).
Potential cumulative impacts include increased restrictions across the city centre. This may result in longer term and
increased impact on those businesses and people who rely on the kerbside for unloading goods, taxi provisions, onstreet
parking, mobility parking and other uses.
Safeguards and management measures to avoid and/or minimise impacts of the proposal on kerbside restrictions are
provided in Section 6.1.4. Additional safeguards and management measures would be included into the CEMP to
manage the cumulative effects of the kerbside restrictions. As reported in section 6.1.3 of the REF, Transport for NSW,
in collaboration with City of Sydney Council, is in the process of developing a kerbside allocation strategy that will
manage and prioritise the changes that need to occur within the city centre to deliver the Access Strategy. This strategy
will set a hierarchy for kerbside allocations in the city centre and will cover the various uses listed above, including taxi
zones, loading zones, mobility parking, other authorised parking and general on-street parking.
Simultaneous construction of the proposal with other projects may have a short-term temporary visual impact within the
city centre. Potential cumulative visual impact may occur along the following roads: CSELR (NW2: King Street, R2:
Market Street, S2: Goulburn Street and S6: Pitt Street), Wynyard Walk (R4: Clarence Street), Sydney City Centre
Cycleway project (NW2: King Street, R1: Park Street, R2: Market Street and C2: College Street) and Sydney City Centre
Bus Infrastructure project (all work sites)).
Sensitive receivers potentially impacted by the proposal may experience additional temporary visual impacts from
construction projects simultaneously. The most notable impacts would occur in locations where the streets are generally
narrower and contained, and framed by more sensitive buildings (including heritage-listed buildings), and the works
would take longer than one month to construct, namely work sites NW2: King Street, R2: Market Street, R4: Clarence
