Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan Appendix AReview of Environmental Factors

Appendix AConsideration of clause 228(2) factors andmatters of national environmentalsignificance

Clause 228(2) ChecklistIn addition to the requirements of the Is an EIS required? guideline as detailed in the REF,the following factors, listed in clause 228(2) of the EP&A Regulation have also beenconsidered to assess the likely impacts of the proposal on the natural and built environment.

Factor Impact

a. Any environmental impact on a community?

Construction: Some short-term minor traffic delays wouldaffect the community, limiting kerbside, footpath and off-street access. Construction of the proposal would disruptloading zones for some businesses and require certain busstops to be temporarily relocated. It would also seepedestrian diversions, leading to connectivity andmovement restrictions. These impacts are short-term and aproduct of needing to implement the proposal. Theconstruction works would also have amenity impacts thatwould affect the community, including visual intrusion,noise, and dust generation. However, the proposal is toimplement effective construction staging and programmingto limit these impacts and minimise disruption particularlyduring times of peak demand.

Short-term minor-to-moderate adversereversible impacts localto the city centreappropriatelysafeguarded through thecontrols listed inChapter 7.

Operation: The net impact of implementing the proposalwould be a modification and loss of kerbside allocations.This would impact those who rely on the kerbside; howeverit would benefit road users who need improved access byintroducing traffic capacity.

Permanent benefit to theSydney metropolitan area(improved traffic capacityand better priorities into,out, or around the citycentre)

b. Any transformation of a locality?

Construction: There would be notable short-term visualimpacts within each work site that would affect thestreetscape amenity and character of each affected road.This would temporarily transform the locality of each worksite and the proposal footprint. The works would also affectnavigation. Altered travel patterns, diversions, delays andaccess changes would also transform the both the locality ofthe proposal footprint and affect the wider city centre. Theseimpacts would be safeguarded through effective communityconsultation, and the promoted staging and programming ofthe work to avoid peak demand periods.

Operation: The locality of each work site would be alteredfollowing the installation of the traffic capacityimprovements. In certain locations, traffic would be brought

closer to building façades. Accordingly, the road trafficwould become a more dominant component of thestreetscape. However, in implementing the proposal, itwould enable transformation across the city centre byaltering traffic priorities, removing conflict, improving publictransport circulation and providing better user navigation.The other change would be the proposed removal of anumber of trees within the streetscape. They form animportant part of the landscape and streetscape character;however the affected trees are not significant, nor do theyform a dominant component of the character of the affectedstreets.

due to the ‘intensification’of traffic within the roadcorridor and removal oftrees.Permanent benefit to theSydney metropolitan areadue to improvedcirculation, navigation,road-priority setting andremoved conflict.

c. Any environmental impact on the ecosystems of the locality?

There would be some limited tree pruning and removalacross the city centre. The impacted trees are landscape-planted and do not form part of an ecosystem. They mayprovide foraging habitat for a number of mobile species;however they do not contribute to a valuable or importantecosystem in the locality.

d. Any reduction of the aesthetic, recreational, scientific or other environmentalquality or value of a locality?

Construction: There would be short-term constructiondisruption impacts that would affect the visual amenity andaesthetics of each affected road (work site). The visual‘clutter’ introduced around each work site would have animpact on road users, pedestrians, cyclists and roadsideproperties. The local environmental quality would also beaffected in the short-term due to construction noise, dustgeneration and general construction activities. This wouldextend to temporary traffic delays and access restrictionsthat would occur within and beyond the proposal footprint;including the potential for cumulative effects across the citycentre. The works would also have an effect on adjacentrecreational amenity during construction. Again, thepromoted staging and programming of the work to avoidpeak demand periods would be used to manage theseimpacts.

Operation: Once the proposal is operational there should beimproved navigation and traffic priorities in the city centre.This should improve amenity overall, especially as theproposal supports and enables the wider Access Strategy.However, local to each work site, the implemented trafficcapacity improvements would reduce the streetscape’samenity value due to the ‘intensification’ of traffic within theroad corridor in certain locations, including the few locationswhere trees would be removed. Environmental and scientificvalues would be largely unaffected by the operationalproposal other than a marginal increase in noise impacts.

Factor Impact

e. Any effect on a locality, place or building having aesthetic, anthropological,archaeological, architectural, cultural, historical, scientific or social significance or otherspecial value for present or future generations?

Construction: The disruption and amenity impacts alongeach affected street would have a minor indirect impact onadjacent heritage-listed buildings.

Operation: The overall heritage impact is assessed asnegligible; however there would be localised impacts tocertain buildings in instances where new road furniturewould be installed adjacent to and in front of thesebuildings. There is also a residual risk that some of the utilityand drainage works would affect sub-surface archaeology.However the nature and scale of the impacts would beinsufficient to affect the heritage-values for present andfuture generations.The proposal would also have no long-term impact on otheranthropological, architectural, cultural, scientific, social orspecial values.

f. Any impact on the habitat of protected fauna (within the meaning of the NationalParks and Wildlife Act 1974)?

The proposal would have no impact on habitat or faunaprotected under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.

Nil

g. Any endangering of any species of animal, plant or other form of life, whetherliving on land, in water or in the air?

The proposal would have no impact on endangered,threatened or vulnerable species, communities or theirsupporting habitat within the meaning of the TSC Act, FMAct and EPBC Act.

Nil

h. Any long-term environment effects?

Section 6.16 describes the long-term/permanent impactsand benefits of the proposal. In summary, the proposal’smain permanent impacts would be reduced kerbsideallocations and minor amenity changes along certain streetsdue to the ‘intensification’ of road traffic in certain locations.This would be offset by the long-term benefits of generallymaintaining the performance of key ‘pinch points’ aroundthe city centre in light of the planned implementation of theAccess Strategy.

removed conflict.

i. Any degradation of the quality of the environment?

Construction: There would be a short-term degradation inenvironmental quality due to the amenity impact of theconstruction work, the creation of construction noise, dustgeneration and the imposed traffic and access restrictions.The ability for people to move around the city would also berestricted due to the implemented traffic managementcontrols and footpath restrictions. These would affect thequality of the city centre’s environment.

Operation: There would be no overall change to the city’senvironmental quality

Nil

j. Any risk to the safety of the environment?

Construction: There is a residual risk of pollution occurringduring construction through unforseen, unplanned oraccidental emissions and discharges. The likelihood of suchimpacts would be reduced through careful management andadditional controls that would be implemented to handle andmanage any incidents.Pedestrian, cyclist and road user safety issues are also aconsideration during construction due to the proposal’slocation in a heavily populated urbanised area. Again, thelikelihood of the impact would be greatly reduced throughcareful management.

Operation: The proposal has been designed underapproved standards (refer to section 3.2.2). Thesestandards ensure operational environmental and communitysafety in design. Also the proposal comprises the upgradeof an existing road where there would be no materialchange in environmental safety.

Nil.

k. Any reduction in the range of beneficial uses of the environment?

Construction: The proposal footprint is an established roadcorridor that includes a number of existing kerbsideallocations and adjacent buildings. The proposal wouldtemporarily restrict access to roadside public amenities,kerbside allocations and adjacent buildings. It would alsoaffect the amenity of the road corridor.

Short-term reversibleminor adverse impactsaffecting the proposalfootprint appropriatelysafeguarded through thecontrols listed inChapter 7.

Operation: The net and cumulative impact of the proposalwould be the loss of kerbside allocations. These losseswould be a trade-off against improving traffic capacity atcertain congested and critical points within the city centre.Whether the kerbside allocations are deemed a beneficialenvironmental use is subjective. However, throughsupporting and enabling the Access Strategy, the proposalwould improve public transport access and circulation in the

city centre, including closure of part of George Street totraffic. These are considered beneficial uses of the urbanenvironment in preference to prioritising private vehicle use.This stance is generally reflected in national and stateplanning policy (refer to Chapter 2).

l. Any pollution of the environment?

Construction: The proposal would result in both noisepollution and dust generation during construction. Bothimpacts would be managed; however there would beresidual construction noise impacts. There would also becumulative noise effects across the city centre.

Short-term reversibleminor-to-moderateadverse impacts affectingthe proposal footprint andwider city centreappropriatelysafeguarded through thecontrols listed inChapter 7.

Operation: There would be no long-term pollution. Themarginal increase in noise would be insufficient to causepollution under the criteria listed in section 6.2.

Nil.

m. Any environmental problems associated with the disposal of waste?

The proposal would take place in areas that have anassociated contamination potential. It would also generatesmall quantities of hazardous waste (refer to table 6-57). Allwaste would be classified, handled and stored inaccordance with the NSW Waste Classification Guidelines2009: Part 1 Classifying Waste (DECCW) and Storing andHandling liquids, Environmental Protection (DECC, 2007). Itwould therefore be appropriately segregated, transport anddisposed of to the relevant licenced facilities. Any materialsthat would be recycled would be done so in accordance withthe testing and recovery exemption.

Nil

n. Any increased demands on resources (natural or otherwise) that are, or arelikely to become, in short supply?

The provisional resource requirements demonstrate that theproposal could be largely constructed from recycledmaterials. This is consistent with Roads and Maritime’srequirement for its contractors to propose the use ofrecycled materials where they are cost and performancecompetitive and comparable in environmental performance.In addition, the contractor(s) would be able to propose theuse of low embodied-energy alternatives (eg materials thatrequire less energy to produce) for items such as concreteand paint, where they are cost and performance competitiveand comparable in environmental performance.The required construction materials are commonly used andcan be supplied locally.

Nil

o. Any cumulative environmental effect with other existing or likely future activities?

Construction: There is potential for a number of cumulative Minor adverse impactsSydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan Appendix AReview of Environmental Factors

effects and benefits to occur as a result of the proposal’sconstruction at the same time as a number of other citycentre projects. The key effects would include cumulativetravel delays, access restrictions, public transport disruption,amenity effects and visual impacts during construction.

affecting the city centre.The impacts would bemanaged across widerstrategy safeguards andmanagement measuresdescribed in Chapter 7

Operation: There would be a number of cumulativebenefits, including improved traffic allocations andprioritisations of traffic, buses, pedestrians and cyclistsacross the city centre under the proposal. This would beoffset against the cumulative loss in kerbside allocationsneeded to implement the Access Strategy and the minorcumulative changes in streetscape character along anumber of roads.

Cumulative benefitsachieved at the expenseof changing theallocations and layout ofcertain streets within thecity centre.

p. Any impact on coastal processes and coastal hazards, including those underprojected climate change conditions?

The proposal would have no impact on coastal hazards. Itwould however be designed to account for climate changeforecast projections relating to increased flooding, increasedtemperatures and increased solar gain.

Nil.


Matters of National Environmental SignificanceUnder the environmental assessment provisions of the EPBC Act, the following matters ofnational environmental significance and impacts on Commonwealth land are required to beconsidered to assist in determining whether the proposal should be referred to the AustralianGovernment’s Department of Environment.

Factor Impact

a. Any impact on a World Heritage property?

The proposal footprint includes the buffer zones of the Hyde ParkBarracks and Sydney Opera House. However the proposal’s scale,magnitude and nature would be insufficient to affect the ‘universalvalue’ of these assets or their buffer zones (refer to section 6.3.3).

Nil

b. Any impact on a National Heritage place?

As above Nil

c. Any impact on a wetland of international importance?

The proposal would have no impact on a wetland of internationalimportance.

Nil

d. Any impact on a listed threatened species or communities?

The proposal would have no impact on a listed threatened species orcommunity.

Nil

e. Any impacts on listed migratory species?

The proposal would have no impact on a listed migratory species. Nil

d. Any impact on a Commonwealth marine area?

The proposal would have no impact on a Commonwealth marine area. Nil

g. Does the proposal involve a nuclear action (including uranium mining)?

The proposal does not involve a nuclear action. Nil

h. Additionally, any impact (direct or indirect) on Commonwealth land?

There are 10 notices of Commonwealth land within the study area. Theproposal would have no direct or indirect impact on this land.

Nil

g. Does the proposal involve a nuclear action (including uranium mining)?

The proposal does not involve a nuclear action. Nil

h. Additionally, any impact (direct or indirect) on Commonwealth land?

There are 10 notices of Commonwealth land within the study area. Theproposal would have no direct or indirect impact on this land.

BackgroundIn late 2013, the NSW Government released the Sydney City Centre Access Strategy to improve access to the CBD by putting the right transport modes, in the right places in the city centre – reducing congestion and supporting a globally competitive Sydney.

The Access Strategy provides a clear direction for how all the different transport modes – delivery vehicles, light rail, buses, trains, ferries, cars, taxis, pedestrians and cyclists – will work together in the city centre.

The Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan is part of the Access Strategy and supports the introduction of other Access Strategy initiatives, such as light rail and a new bus network. It does so by prioritising vehicle movements along particular corridors and at identified intersections so that traffic can be better managed, especially at peak times.

To learn more about the Sydney City Centre Access Strategy, visit: www.transport.nsw.gov.au

Road infrastructure changesThe proposal includes 17 road infrastructure projects across five precincts in the CBD – north-west, retail, southern, college and financial.

The changes to road infrastructure include:

1. Reconfiguring intersections

2. Adjusting kerbs

3. Altering footpath widths

4. Changing turning restrictions and provisions

5. Modifying kerbside uses

6. Reconfiguring lanes

7. Supporting work.

What happens next?All comments received will be considered in finalising the project design. If there are further changes to the design the community will be informed.

1. Introduction1.1 Proposal contextThe Sydney City Centre Access Strategy (the Access Strategy, Transport for NSW, 2013) is ‘the State’s firstdetailed plan showing how people will enter, exit and move in and around the central business district (CBD)over the next 20 years’. This will be realised by delivering a number of key projects to provide a ‘fullyintegrated public transport network’ whilst also ‘making better use of the available street space’ in the citycentre. The key projects of the Access Strategy comprise:

The CBD to South East Light Rail project (CSELR).

The Sydney City Centre Bus Infrastructure project.

The Sydney City Centre Cycleways projects.

Although driving trips to and from the city centre have plateaued in recent years, the implementation ofAccess Strategy projects would reduce the traffic capacity of the already congested road network. Theproposed pedestrianisation of George Street and light rail construction would be a key catalyst for this,restricting traffic to local property access movements only between Bathurst Street and Hunter Street.Consequently there is a need to prioritise and reallocate available street space to maintain the function of theroad network during and following the construction of these projects, to ensure the efficient operation of thenetwork to support bus, taxi, service vehicle, delivery vehicle, and general traffic movements.

To mitigate the impacts to the traffic capacity of the city centre road network created by Access Strategyprojects, NSW Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) in conjunction with Transport for NSW(TfNSW) have developed the Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan (the proposal).

The overall objective of the proposal is to support the growing demand for access into the Sydney city centreand to improve road network functionality over the coming years, including during construction and operationof a number of projects proposed under the Access Strategy. The proposal would improve the capacity andconsequent performance of some of the city’s most congested roads and constrained intersections, andimprove the ability of the network to accommodate the anticipated changes to traffic conditions as a result ofthe partial pedestrianisation of George Street, the introduction of bus and cycle improvements, and theintroduction of a number of major city-centre developments. Supporting proposal objectives are to:

Support the reallocated demand through improved key corridor and intersection capacity

Support more efficient road usage to accommodate Sydney’s future growth demand

Improve road efficiency and allow quality integrated public transport services to meet future demand

Improve the customer experience by improving the safety, amenity and efficiency of the road network

Minimise environmental and socio-economic impacts on the Sydney city centre and on current businessoperations.

Although the proposal would increase the capacity and efficiency of traffic movements within the city centre,traffic demand travelling to, from, and within the city centre is not expected to grow significantly.Consequently, the capacity improvements that form ‘the proposal’ focus on demand management strategiesto facilitate the effective and efficient operation of the city centre road network, rather than the creation ofhigh capacity road infrastructure.

2 2196763A-ITP-RPT-3754-RevA | Parsons Brinckerhoff


The proposal focusses on areas of the city centre road network which are not subject to modificationsthrough other planned or proposed projects. Other projects, for example the Sydney City Centre BusInfrastructure project as part of the Access Strategy, also propose upgrades to other roads and intersectionswhich would improve overall traffic capacity. The traffic capacity improvements proposed as part of theSydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan have therefore been developed to integrate with andcomplement other traffic capacity improvements already planned or proposed across the city centre.

1.2 Proposal study area and work sitesThe study area is a densely developed urban environment, comprising busy road corridors and a mix ofresidential, commercial, retail, tourism and transport-related land uses. As well as an employment hub, thecity centre services both residents and visitors. As such, its population increases significantly during theworking week, with peak transport demand occurring during weekday morning and evening peak periods.

The Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan Review of Environmental Factors (the REF) which thistraffic and transport assessment informs disaggregates the study area into the five precincts illustrated inFigure 1.1:

North-west

Financial.

Figure 1.1 Study area and precinct boundaries

Recognising the constraints of the study area, Roads and Maritime has limited the proposal to focus onsections of road (work sites) where improvements are most needed. The proposal work sites focus on ‘pinchpoints’; areas of the road network where traffic demand exceeds capacity, resulting in delays, queuing, andcongestion. These areas have been identified as either unable to cope with existing volumes of traffic, oranticipated as critical components to maintain the overall traffic function of the road network in the future.



A summary of proposal work sites is provided in Chapter 5. Specific features and details of the proposal areprovided in Chapter 6 of this report, Chapter 3 of the REF document, and in the Concept Design document.

1.3 Report purpose and structureParsons Brinckerhoff has prepared this traffic and transport assessment as a key component of the SydneyCity Centre Capacity Improvement Plan REF for Roads and Maritime (Sydney Region) on behalf of TfNSW.The key objectives of this assessment are:

Provide a detailed overview of the existing and future traffic and transport environment in the studyarea.

Inform the development of strategic concept design options for the proposal.

Determine the effects and assess the traffic and transport benefits and impacts of the proposal.

This report is structured as follows:

Section 2: Existing traffic and transport environment in the study area, including existing transportnetworks, traffic volumes and road network performance, and public and active transport infrastructureand operations.

Section 3: Traffic forecasting and modelling process used for the assessment.

Section 4: Future traffic and transport environment in the study area, considering the impacts ofapproved Access Strategy projects, but excluding the proposal.

Section 5: The proposed Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan (the proposal).

Section 6: Future traffic and transport environment in the study area, considering the effects, benefitsand impacts of the proposal during construction and operation.

Section 7: Proposed strategies and actions to mitigate and manage the impacts of the proposal duringconstruction and operation.



2. Existing conditions2.1 Travel modesThe city centre’s population increases during the day, with over 600,000 people traveling into the city centreeach day to work or use its various amenities, and a further 1.27 million trips made within the centre. Themajority of trips which enter the study area use one of 15 key transport ‘gateways’. Table 2.1 provides asummary of gateway entries by travel mode.

In addition to commuter movements high volumes of taxis and commercial vehicles also compete for thelimited street space. The timely movement of commercial traffic is critical to supporting the city centre’seconomy, with large volumes of service and delivery vehicles travelling to, from, and within the city centreroad network throughout the day. Light commercial vehicles represent 95 per cent of weekday commercialvehicles, with approximately 29 per cent of commercial light traffic movements occurring during the morningand afternoon peak periods1.

1 Sydney City Centre Access Strategy, TfNSW, December 2013



During weekday peak periods (7.00–10 am; 3–7 pm) the majority of trips into the city centre use publictransport. Traffic flows on the city centre road network are generally highest during these times, as it isaccessible by all modes of traffic including buses, cars, and light and heavy commercial vehicles. The modalsplit within the city centre varies depending on the time, day, and season. More than 60 per cent of total tripsto or from the city centre use public transport, and around 25 per cent (14 per cent during morning peakhours) travel by car2.

Over the past ten years, the number of people entering the city centre in cars during morning peak hours hasplateaued at around 47,000. During the same period the number of people arriving by public transport hasincreased from 105,000 to 145,000 passengers (TfNSW, 2013).

Within the city centre pedestrians, cyclists, buses and other vehicles compete to use the limited space on theroad network. Cars are the largest users of traffic space across the city centre throughout the day. Duringweekday morning peak hours, cars and taxis typically comprise 87 per cent of traffic movements at citycentre intersections, buses eight per cent, and the remaining five per cent consists of trucks and cyclists.

2.2 Existing road network

2.2.1 Overview

The study area for the proposal includes all roads within the city centre and City of Sydney LGA, illustrated inFigure 2.1. The road network in this area is managed by Roads and Maritime (Sydney Branch) and City ofSydney Council.

The city centre is an urban environment set out along a grid of north-south and west-east streets, fronted bymedium-high density development interspersed by several parks and open spaces. In the south of the studyarea the grid pattern is slightly uneven; in the north, the streets form a grid alignment orientated towardsCircular Quay. There are no general restrictions to traffic travelling within the city centre, although trafficcontrols and restrictions apply in certain areas and during certain times. These include bus lanes, buspriorities, one-way circulation, turning/access restrictions, parking restrictions, and cycleways.

The posted speed limit throughout the study area is 50 kilometres per hour (km/h) or lower. On the 3 October2014 Roads and Maritime introduced a 40 km/h speed limit across a large portion of the study area, boundedby Castlereagh Street to the east, Kent Street to the west, and Hay Street to the south in response toanother initiative of the Access Strategy.




Figure 2.1 Study area and precinct boundaries



2.2.2 Kerbside use

Within the city centre the road reserve generally adjoins adjacent property boundaries. It also contains roadfurniture (e.g. lights, signage), street furniture (e.g. bus stops, benches, bicycle racks), and privately ownedproperty (e.g. telephone boxes, mail boxes). There are three principal land uses within the road reserve,described in Table 2.2.

Table 2.2 City centre road reserve land uses

Land use Description

Road space Generally used by all modes of traffic, with use restricted in certain locations for certain vehicles(e.g. buses and cyclists).

Footpaths Principally used by pedestrians, however other uses include outdoor seating, outdoor dining,bicycle parking, and bus stops.

Kerbsides Principally used for loading zones, mail zones, bus layovers, disabled parking, on-street parkingand taxi bays.

Kerbside use refers to the allocation of the kerbside traffic lane. Kerbside uses are located throughout thecity centre, many of which are contained within the limits of the proposal footprint. The major kerbside usesin the study area comprise:

Bus stops

Bus layovers

Coach stops/layovers

On-street parking (unrestricted, mobility, and motorcycle)

Loading zones

Taxi zones

Mail zones.

The composition of kerbside uses throughout the study area varies by location and time of day. Generallykerbside use is restricted during peak traffic periods, where the speed and efficiency of the road network isprioritised.

2.2.3 Property access and off-street parking

The city centre is a high-density urban environment. Consequently there are a high number of propertyaccesses for both pedestrians and vehicles throughout the study area.

All properties in the city centre provide pedestrian access to and from footpaths within the city centre roadreserves. In addition a large proportion of commercial buildings in the city centre include private vehicleloading and parking areas, typically accessed by crossing the footpath between the road space and theproperty access point.

A large volume of off-street public parking is also available within the city centre. It is estimated that the citycentre that contains approximately 70,000 off-street car parking spaces, which are currently underutilised byapproximately 10 to 30 per cent during the daytime (TfNSW, 2013). Due to the relatively high level of trafficgenerated by public parking lots, vehicular access to and from the road network is typically affected bydiscontinuing footpaths and providing signalised pedestrian crossings.



2.3 Public transportPublic transport to and from the city centre is provided by trains, buses, ferries, and light rail. A summary ofthe key stops and hubs for each mode is provided in Table 2.3. As noted in Section 2.1, rail accommodatesthe majority of public transport trips to and from the city centre during peak periods. Buses accommodate themajority of remaining public transport trips, with ferries and light rail services accommodating the remainder.

There is an extensive bus network across the city centre which utilises the city centre road networkcomprising bus stops, bus zones, bus layovers and bus lanes. Nearly all of Sydney’s main and secondaryroads have some associated bus activity and infrastructure. Major bus corridors are illustrated in Figure 2.2.



Figure 2.2 Existing public transport hubs and major bus corridors



2.4 WalkingPedestrians have access to a wide network of associated facilities to navigate the city centre. Nearly allroads in the city centre include footpaths adjacent to traffic lanes. Pedestrianised areas, walkways,underpasses, malls and signalised crossings all enable pedestrian movements around the city centre.

There is significant pedestrian activity in the city centre. During typical weekday working hours, pedestrianmovements account for around 90 per cent of the 1.3 million trips made in the city centre. Nearly half ofthese trips are shorter than 500 metres and 80 per cent shorter than one kilometre (TfNSW, 2013).Pedestrian traffic (footfall) within the city centre varies depending on the day of the week and the time of theyear. During the busiest summer weekday periods, survey data indicates that approximately 14,000 to17,000 pedestrians per hour use the city centre’s main roads between 5.00 pm and 11.00 pm3.

An analysis of pedestrian movements at 27 intersections within the city centre (all movements) is provided inFigure 2.3, which shows distinct morning, lunchtime and evening peaks. The lunchtime peak is the busiest,while pedestrian activity remains high throughout the afternoon.

Figure 2.3 City Centre pedestrian demand profile (2014)

3 City of Sydney, Late night Management Area Profile 2012 and Trial of Pedestrian Countdown Timers in Sydney CBD,Final Report, Roads and Maritime, 2011



Pedestrians are the dominant proportion of road users at many of the intersections in the city centre. Despitethis, pedestrians often experience relatively long delays at signal controlled intersections when compared toroad traffic as a result of timing and phasing allocations4. Pedestrian safety remains a priority throughout thecity centre; between 2007 and 2011 there were 904 pedestrian casualties in the city centre. In October 2014Roads and Maritime introduced a 40km/h speed limit across a large proportion of the study area to improvepedestrian safety5. Other initiatives including the use of Pedestrian Countdown Timers have also beentrialled to improve pedestrian safety and amenity6.

2.5 CyclingDedicated cycling infrastructure in the city centre includes dedicated cycleways on Kent Street (which hasbeen recently extended), King Street, and College Street, as well as shared use paths. Cyclists also usegeneral traffic lanes and bus lanes on the city centre road network.

The recent high growth in cycling activity within the city centre is expected to continue to grow. In 2012around 11,000 cycling trips were made into the city during morning peak periods, with 50,000 cycling trips onaverage each day within the city centre, 50 per cent higher than just two years previously.

2.6 Traffic conditionsVehicles travelling through the city centre during morning and evening peak periods do so in a highlyinterrupted flow, low-speed environment. Much of the road network within the city centre is congested, withmany intersections operating at or over capacity. Traffic delays are particularly long at the CastlereaghStreet/Park Street, Druitt Street/Park Street/George Street, and the George Street/Grosvenor Street/BridgeStreet intersections (TfNSW, 2013).

During both the AM and PM peak periods a similar overall volume of traffic uses the city centre road network.Previous network modelling undertaken for other Access Strategy projects indicates that traffic travels at anaverage of 20 km/h during the peak periods. In addition to delays caused by the high volume of trafficdemand, high bus volumes, pedestrian movements, and kerbside activity further reduce road networkcapacity and efficiency.

Key pinch points and priority work sites within the defined precincts have been identified in developing theproposal, as described in section 5. The following sections summarise existing traffic conditions and networkperformance within these work sites.

The methodology adopted to assess the network performance benefits and impacts of the proposal is basedprimarily on the use of SIDRA intersection modelling and first-principles assumptions. A summary of themethodology applied in this assessment is described in section 3. This modelling provides detailedintersection performance indicators which have been used to provide an overview of existing conditions.However, it is important to note that it is limited to providing detailed analysis of individual, isolatedintersection performance. The Degree of Saturation, Average Delay, and ultimately queue lengths assumerelatively unconstrained traffic conditions on the approaches to and exits from intersection.

safety.pdf6 http://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/downloads/trial_ped_countdown_timers_sydney_cbd.pdf



In reality the effects of queuing in the city centre context are particularly problematic, with the proximity ofadjacent intersections providing limited vehicle storage capacity. At many intersections throughout the studyarea vehicle queues extend to and through adjacent intersections, dramatically reducing capacity andefficiency at these locations, and overall network efficiency as a result of further cascading impacts. Existingmid-block kerbside activity also further reduces the capacity and efficiency of the city centre road network.

Considering the above, the intersection performance indicators presented in the following sections provide:

An overview of unconstrained performance for individual intersections within each precinct.

Details of existing pinch points where delays and queuing have major impacts on the capacity andefficiency of adjacent intersections and the wider city centre road network.

Various pinch points within the city centre constrain traffic which would otherwise impact the performance ofdownstream intersections. While existing conditions appear to indicate satisfactory operation in many cases,this often occurs as a result of demand being unable to travel through the network. Consequently theperformance indicators presented in the following sections should be considered in the context of the abovefeatures of city centre traffic conditions.

This traffic and transport assessment focusses on the analysis of localised performance improvements atselected locations across the city centre road network. Section 3.2 discusses the use of AIMSUN networkmodelling to supplement the localised modelling undertaken for the proposal. This modelling would beundertaken as part of an ongoing process to analyse the cumulative effects and integration of transport andland use developments including the proposal throughout the city centre.

2.6.1 North-west precinct

2.6.1.1 Overview

Kent Street between Margaret Street and King Street

Kent Street is currently one-way northbound between Liverpool Street and Erskine Street after which traffic ispermitted in both directions. This traffic arrangement, in combination with the provision of a dedicatedseparated two-way cycleway adjacent to the eastern kerb, results in the availability of only one northboundlane north of Erskine Street. This arrangement results in extensive queuing on the southern approach toErskine Street particularly during the afternoon peak. The development of the Barangaroo site will increasenorthbound traffic on Kent Street.

King Street between Sussex Street and Pitt Street

King Street is a major corridor in the city centre with traffic movements operating in a one-way easterlydirection between Sussex Street and Elizabeth Street. The lane configuration varies with three trafficablelanes during peak periods between Sussex Street and York Street, four lanes between York Street andGeorge Street, three lanes east of George Street and four lanes from just west of Castlereagh Street throughto Elizabeth Street. A dedicated separated two-way cycleway has been constructed adjacent to the northernkerb between Sussex Street and Clarence Street. The Access Strategy indicates that the cycleway willultimately be extended to Castlereagh Street. The capacity of the corridor is impacted by the existence ofshared through and left/right turning lanes.



2.6.1.2 Traffic volumes and network performance

Table 2.4 provides a summary of existing traffic demand and performance at key intersections within theprecinct. Schematic diagrams of the intersection layouts assessed are provided in Appendix A.

Figure 2.4 provides an overview of existing AM and PM peak LoS, and highlights queue lengths which arelikely to impact the performance of adjacent intersections and overall network efficiency as a result of furthercascading impacts:

All intersections are estimated to operate at LoS C or better during peak periods when considered inisolation.

The following approach queue lengths are likely to extend to and impact the operation of adjacentintersections:

Eastbound traffic on King Street from George Street to York Street, estimated as 150–200 m

Eastbound traffic on King Street from York Street to Clarence Street, estimated as 100–155 m.

In summary, the results indicate that:

In isolation, intersection performance would be an acceptable LoS C or better throughout the precinct.

Traffic queues originating on the eastbound approach of the York Street/George Street intersection, andpropagating along the York Street corridor currently reduce the performance of upstream intersections.



Figure 2.4 North-west precinct modelled network conditions overview (AM/PM peak, 2014)

2.6.2 Retail precinct

2.6.2.1 Overview

Park Street at the Pitt Street Intersection

Park Street is a major cross city corridor which connects between William Street in the east and Druitt Streetin the west. Although the street functions as a two-way street, eastbound movements between George Streetand Pitt Street are restricted to buses, taxis, hire cars and cyclists. Bus lanes are provided in both directionsbetween College Street and Pitt Street and eastbound between George Street and Pitt Street.

Under the Access Strategy, the significance of Park Street as a major bus corridor will increase withwestbound traffic reduced to essentially a single lane between College Street and George Street. Park Streetcurrently carries approximately 640 and 520 westbound movements in the morning and evening peakperiods respectively whilst right turn movements into Pitt Street are in the order of 100 movements per hourduring the morning peak period and 40 during the evening peak period.

Market Street between Kent Street and Castlereagh Street

Market Street extends between Elizabeth Street and Sussex Street. It operates as a one-way Street east ofYork Street and a two-way street west of York Street. Westbound traffic experiences significant congestionand delay during the afternoon peak period and quite frequently during weekday business hours. Much ofthis delay occurs east of York Street. The road is generally configured to provide two through westboundlanes with additional lane capacity for turning movements provided at Castlereagh Street, George Street,York Street and Clarence Street. There is limited parking permitted on the corridor. The eastbound section ofroad has a public transport and local access function, facilitating bus services and access to Clarence Street,Kent Street and the QVB car park.



Sussex Street between King Street and Druitt Street

Sussex Street extends between Erskine Street at Hay Street and functions as a one-way southbound streetsouth of King Street. Sussex Street provides direct access to the Western Distributor (at Market Street andDruitt Street) and the Cross City Tunnel (via Liverpool Street) from the north-west and western areas of thecity centre. Sussex Street is also the only southbound street west of George Street which connects thenorthern and southern areas of the city centre. The development of the Barangaroo site together with thepedestrianisation of George Street under the CSELR will inevitably result in Sussex Street becoming anincreasingly important traffic corridor. Currently, there are two dedicated southbound lanes in Sussex Streeton the approach to Market Street and three lanes on the departure side. The alignment of these lanes,together with the parking provisions adjacent to the eastern and western kerbs, effectively reduce the road’scapacity by creating a bottleneck at this point along Sussex Street.

Clarence Street between Jamison Street and Druitt Street

Clarence Street is a major bus corridor. It is used by both private and Government-owned buses servingSydney’s north and north-west. The number of buses using Clarence Street has led to designation of muchof the western kerb as a bus zone. It carries approximately 720 vehicles and 280 buses per hour during peakperiods. Split stops have been used as a mechanism for managing boarding passenger and minimising busstop dwell times. A dedicated bus lane operates along the western kerb between 6.00 am and 8.00 pm onweekdays north of Market Street. However, the effectiveness of the bus lane is significantly impacted by thesplit stop arrangements. Buses move out of the bus lane and mix with general traffic in order to passstationary buses. Parking is generally permitted at all times of the day adjacent to the eastern kerb.

York Street between King Street and Druitt Street

York Street is a major bus corridor, accommodating services which cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge fromthe north shore, Pittwater and north-west areas of Sydney. Bus volumes have risen continually over the past10 years with the latest data indicating in the order of 380 buses crossing the bridge in the every hour duringthe morning peak period. Of this number, almost half continue beyond Wynyard to the QVB and/or RailwaySquare. The historical construction of localised footway widenings in the section of York Street between KingStreet and Market Street, now creates squeeze points and impediments to the flow of buses and generaltraffic.




All intersections are estimated to operate at LoS C or better during peak periods when considered inisolation.


Eastbound traffic on King Street from York Street to Clarence Street, estimated as 100–155 m.

Westbound traffic on Market Street from York Street to George Street, estimated as 140–155 m.

Westbound traffic on Market Street from York Street to George Street, estimated as 120–165 m.

2.6.3 Southern precinct

2.6.3.1 Overview

Sussex Street between Bathurst Street and Goulburn Street

Sussex Street is one-way southbound between King Street and Hay Street. In the section south of BathurstStreet, two trafficable lanes are with parking in one form or another provided adjacent to the eastern andwestern kerbs. Traffic congestion is a regular occurrence on the approaches to both Liverpool Street andGoulburn Street. This is due to the limited storage capacity provided for turning traffic. This in turn impacts onthe capacity of the through lanes.



Goulburn Street at the George Street intersection

Currently, a kerb extension on the south-east corner of George Street and Goulburn Street extends almost3 m beyond the southern kerb alignment of Goulburn Street. As a consequence, only two and half lanes areprovided on the approach to George Street. This lane arrangement results in the through westboundmovements being impeded by queued vehicles waiting to turn left onto George Street which are impacted bythe volume of pedestrians crossing George Street.

Pitt Street between Rawson Place and Liverpool Street

Pitt Street is identified as a major traffic corridor between George Street and Liverpool Street in the AccessStrategy. Between Rawson Place and Campbell Street, Pitt Street is configured to provide two northboundlanes (with adjacent kerbside parking), and two trafficable southbound lanes (also with kerbside parking)south of Hay Street. Between Campbell Street and Goulburn Street, the carriageway narrows and withkerbside parking permitted on either side of the street, restricts both north and southbound traffic to a singlelane. To the north of Goulburn Street, Pitt Street functions as a one-way northbound street. The provision ofparking adjacent to the eastern kerb and the existence of a car park access ramp adjacent to the westernkerb, results in northbound traffic being restricted to a single lane at this point.

Ultimo Road and Harris Street at the Harris Street intersection

Currently, two right-turn lanes and a single left-turn lane are provided on Ultimo Road on the approach toHarris Street. As a consequence of this lane configuration, extensive queuing occurs in the left-turn lane onthe approach to Harris Street. This is particularly prevalent during the afternoon peak period. The transportinitiatives outlined in the Access Strategy are expected to result in Ultimo Road being a desirable connectionto Broadway, City Road and Regent Street by motorists exiting the city centre.

Broadway between Mountain Street and Abercrombie Street

Broadway is a major bus corridor and arterial road that connects George Street and Pitt Street withParramatta Road and City Road. At Wattle Street, Broadway is configured with four lanes in each directionand a right-turn bay for buses travelling west to north on Wattle Street. The kerbside lanes in each directionare designated as bus lanes which operate during the morning and evening peak period. Motorists wantingto turn left into Wattle Street from Broadway use an unconventional wide slip lane that intersects with WattleStreet approximately 30–40 metres north of Broadway. Because of the high number of vehicles turning intoWattle Street (600 vehicles per hour in the morning peak period and 500 vehicles per hour in the eveningpeak period) surveys have shown that the majority of bus operators avoid the bus lane and travel in theadjacent lane before re-entering the bus lane east of Wattle Street.

Pitt Street at the Lee Street and George Street intersection

The intersection of Pitt Street, George Street, Lee Street and Quay Street functions as a gateway to the citycentre for traffic movements and public transport services approaching from the west and inner south westareas. Numerous bus routes converge on the intersection with high bus volumes on Pitt Street, GeorgeStreet and Lee Street. The Railway Square bus interchange generates high levels of pedestrian activity andis a vital node in the public transport network providing convenient connection to rail services operating vianearby Central Station.

The road geometry of the intersection is such that traffic approaching form the west on Broadway areprovided with two lanes for access onto Pitt Street and two designated lanes for those wishing to continuenorth on George Street. There are three lanes on the Lee Street approach to the intersection, of which one isdesignated as a right-turn lane, one is a shared through and right-turn lane, and the kerbside lane is athrough (into George Street) and left-turn lane (into Quay Street). Four lanes are provided on the Pitt Streetapproach to the intersection of which the kerbside lane is designated as a left-turn lane into Lee Street. QuayStreet is one way westbound.



Despite the relative complexity, and unusual geometry of the intersection, all pedestrian and vehicularmovements are controlled by a relatively simple three phase signal operation. The other notable feature ofthis intersection is the wide paved area between Pitt Street and Lee Street, behind which is an access roadto the Central Station railway concourse.




The Pitt Street /Hay Street intersection is operating at LoS D during PM peak periods, with demandclose to capacity.

The Pitt Street/Goulburn Street intersection is operating at LoS E during AM peak periods, with demandexceeding capacity.

The Broadway/Abercrombie Street intersection is operating at LoS D during AM and PM peak periods,with demand close to capacity.


Eastbound traffic on Goulburn Street from George Street to Sussex Street, estimated as 110–205 m.

Westbound traffic on Goulburn Street from George Street to Pitt Street, estimated as 230–360 m.

Northbound traffic on Pitt Street from Goulburn Street to Campbell Street, estimated as 140–240 m.


Demand exceeds capacity at the Pitt Street/Goulburn Street intersection, and is close to capacity at thePitt Street/Hay Street and Broadway/Abercrombie Street intersections.

2.6.4 College Street precinct

2.6.4.1 Overview

Wentworth Avenue between Oxford Street and Campbell Street

Wentworth Avenue is a wide street connecting Elizabeth Street and Oxford Street. There are generally twotrafficable lanes operating in both directions over its length, with additional capacity in the form of designatedright turn and or left turn lanes provided at Goulburn Street (both directions), Elizabeth Street (southbound)and on the approach to Oxford Street (westbound). Parking is generally permitted on both sides of the road.

College Street between Macquarie Street and Oxford Street

Prince Albert Road between College Street and Macquarie Street currently provides for three northboundlanes and two southbound lanes which widen to three lanes on the approach to the College Streetintersection. The southbound kerbside lane is almost exclusively used as a left-turn lane. On the CollegeStreet approach to Prince Albert Road there are two northbound lanes and a short right-turn lane. CollegeStreet has a carriageway width that is typical of a six-lane road. A separated two-way cycleway is locatedalong the western side of the street. A bottleneck effect exists in peak periods with the current laneconfiguration leading to traffic congestion and delay.

2.6.5 Financial precinct

2.6.5.1 Overview

Macquarie Street between Bent Street and Bridge Street

The southern approach on Macquarie Street at Bridge Street is designated with a single right, a singlethrough and a single left-turn lane. Both the through and right lanes extend back to Bent Street, whilst a shortlength (40 metre) of designated left-turn lane is provided between Phillip Lane and Bridge Street. During themorning and afternoon peak periods, left-turning vehicles often queue well beyond the left-turn lane, leadingto congestion and delays to northbound through traffic. This affects the overall efficiency of the intersection.



Macquarie Street at the Hunter Street intersection

Hunter Street intersects with Macquarie Street to form a T-intersection. The geometry of the signal controlledintersection includes two north and two southbound lanes in Macquarie Street; single designated left turnonly and right-turn only lanes in Hunter Street; and short designated right and left-turn lanes in MacquarieStreet. Significant congestion and delays, particularly in the afternoon peak period occur in Hunter Streetbetween Phillip Street and Macquarie Street and on Macquarie Street as traffic exiting the north-eastquadrant of the city attempts to access the Eastern Distributor via Shakespeare Place and the CahillExpressway via Bridge Street.

Southbound traffic on Macquarie Street from Bent Street to Bridge Street, estimated as 200–325 m.



In addition, as described in Section 2.6.5.1, significant delays and queuing extending back to ElizabethStreet currently occurs on Hunter Street eastbound on the approach to the Macquarie Street intersectionduring PM peak periods. This results from downstream congestion, delays, and queuing on Macquarie Streetat the intersection with Bent Street, which consequently reduces the effective capacity of the intersection ofMacquarie Street and Hunter Street.

Figure 2.8 Financial precinct modelled network conditions overview (AM/PM peak, 2014)


Demand is close to capacity at the Macquarie Street/Bent Street intersection.

Traffic queues originating at the Macquarie Street/Bent Street intersection propagate to upstreamintersections to the north, south, and west, reducing intersection, corridor, and network performance.

Consequently, traffic queues on Hunter Street eastbound approaching the Macquarie Street intersectionextend to the Elizabeth Street intersection during PM peak periods.

3. Traffic forecasting andmodelling process

3.1 OverviewThis traffic and transport assessment focusses on the analysis of localised performance improvements atselected locations across the city centre road network. It is also proposed that AIMSUN modelling would beundertaken as part of an ongoing process to analyse the cumulative effects of transport and land usedevelopments including the proposal and other Access Strategy projects across the city centre.

Traffic forecasting and modelling is a critical input enabling the evaluation of the proposal’s impacts. Theimpacts of the proposal have been assessed as required by relevant Roads and Maritime, Austroads, andother applicable agency guidelines and criteria, specifically including:

Roads and Maritime Services Traffic Modelling Guidelines (Roads and Maritime, February 2013)

Roads and Traffic Authority Guide to Traffic Generating Developments (Roads and Traffic Authority,October 2002)

Austroads Guide to Traffic Management (Austroads, June 2014).

Roads and Maritime own and maintain an existing Sydney CBD network models built in the AIMSUN trafficsimulation software platform. This model has limitations in its ability to provide micro-level traffic forecastssensitive enough for the localised assessment of the relatively minor road network adjustments proposed.Consequently, the methodology adopted to assess the network performance benefits and impacts of theproposal is based primarily on the use of SIDRA intersection modelling and first-principles assumptions, andwill ultimately be supplemented by the use of Roads and Maritime’s AIMSUN network model of SydneyCentral Business District (CBD):

SIDRA intersection modelling and first-principles assumptions have been used to develop and refinemicro-level corridor based traffic forecasts, used to assess localised intersection and corridorperformance and develop traffic management solutions for proposal work sites.

The Roads and Maritime AISMUN Sydney CBD network model was used initially to provide a high-levelindication of congested areas, and will be used as part on an ongoing process to estimate cumulativenetwork benefits of the proposal and other projects across the city centre.

The scenarios which have been assessed are summarised in Table 3.1. The traffic modelling undertaken forthis assessment has been developed according to Roads and Maritime Services Traffic Modelling Guidelinesand other relevant guidelines and standards. Data which has been used to develop, calibrate, and validatethe traffic models used for the assessment is presented in relevant sections of this report, which includes:

Road network layout plans (Lane configuration, vehicle/turn restrictions)

Bus infrastructure and operations

Kerbside uses (bus operations, taxi operations, parking, loading)

Classified mid-block vehicle surveys

Classified intersection turn counts

Intersection approach queue length surveys

Traffic signal phasing and timing data

3.2 Proposal work site modelsFollowing the identification of proposal work sites at critical areas within the city centre, micro-level work sitemodels have been implemented to develop and refine corridor based traffic forecasts. These models havebeen developed using SIDRA intersection modelling software, which have been used as a tool to determinelocalised capacity and performance improvements to develop and refine traffic management solutions forproposal work sites.

SIDRA modelling provides detailed intersection performance indicators which have been used to develop,test, and refine the traffic management schemes proposed. Key intersection performance statistics aresummarised in Table 3.2.

The key benefits of the proposal are improvements to traffic capacity and consequently intersectionperformance, while the main traffic impacts would result from changes to traffic volumes and patterns. Themethodology applied to assess these effects is summarised as follows:

SIDRA intersection models for each worksite have been developed based on the existing road networkand traffic volumes and patterns. These models indicate existing performance for each location(Existing conditions).

Future conditions (Do something) models have subsequently been created based on proposed roadnetwork modifications included in the proposal.

A comparison of the outputs of the Existing conditions and Do something models has been used todemonstrate the changes to local network capacity, based on existing traffic volumes and patterns,including Access Strategy projects and the proposal.

To assess future ‘worst-case’ scenarios, it has been assumed that traffic volumes would increase by thesame proportion as the increase in local network capacity. For example, if capacity is increased by 10%as a result of the proposal, it has been assumed that future traffic volumes would be 10% higher thanexisting in a ‘worst-case’ scenario.

For worksites which include intersection improvements at multiple locations within a corridor, the cumulativeeffects for all intersection improvements was used to estimate the overall improvement in corridor capacity.The combined effects have been estimated by:

1. Determining the improvements to intersection capacity (reduction in DoS) for individual intersectionswithin worksites.



2. Calculating the average increase to corridor capacity of all intersection capacity improvements withinthe worksite, considering both intersection capacity improvements and adjacent network capacityconstraints.

The rationale of the applied work site modelling approach is that:

The work site models are reliable in demonstrating the capacity improvements created by independentproposal measures in specific areas of the city centre.

As total traffic in the city centre has plateaued during peak periods (see section 2.1), the assessmentfocusses on how this traffic would more efficiently move through each work site as a result of theproposal.

The intersection modelling has been used to consider and represent the effects of traffic signaloptimisation, maximising the potential benefits resulting from capacity improvements.

Queue length (m)

Length of vehicle queues on approach to the intersection. Critical queue length issues aregenerally caused by:

Vehicles queuing beyond the extent of short lanes provided by localised intersection widening(queue lengths in either a short lane or adjacent continuous lane).

Vehicles queuing to and through adjacent intersections.



SIDRA modelling provides detailed intersection performance indicators, however it is important to note that itis limited to providing detailed analysis of individual, isolated intersection performance. The Degree ofSaturation, Average Delay, and ultimately queue lengths assume relatively unconstrained traffic conditionson the approaches to and exits from intersection.

In reality the effects of queuing in the city centre context are particularly problematic, with the proximity ofadjacent intersections providing limited vehicle storage capacity. At many intersections throughout the studyarea vehicle queues extend to and through adjacent intersections, dramatically reducing capacity andefficiency at these locations, and overall network efficiency as a result of further cascading impacts. Existingmid-block kerbside activity also further reduces the capacity and efficiency of the city centre road network.

Considering the above, the intersection performance indicators presented provide:

An overview of unconstrained performance for individual intersections within each precinct.

Details of existing pinch points where delays and queuing have major impacts on the capacity andefficiency of adjacent intersections and the wider city centre road network.

Various pinch points within the city centre constrain traffic which would otherwise impact the performance ofdownstream intersections. While existing conditions appear to indicate satisfactory operation in many cases,this often occurs as a result of demand being unable to travel through the network. Consequently theperformance indicators presented should be considered in the context of the above features of city centretraffic conditions.

3.3 Sydney CBD AIMSUN network modelRoads and Maritime provided initial outputs from their existing AIMSUN Sydney CBD network model for thepurpose of this assessment to enable a high-level indication of congested areas of the Sydney CBD roadnetwork.

It is proposed that further AIMSUN modelling would be undertaken as part of an ongoing process todetermine the cumulative impacts of the proposal across the city centre road network. This modelling wouldalso able to consider regional growth factors including other major committed and approved traffic generatingdevelopments in the city centre.

The AIMSUN traffic model would be used to estimate existing and future traffic distribution and assess theoverall performance of the Sydney City Centre traffic network for the modelled scenarios shown in Table 3.1.Importantly this modelling would be used to forecast the cumulative impacts of Access Strategy projectsimpacts, including:

CBD to South East Light Rail project (CSELR)

Sydney City Centre Bus Infrastructure project

The Sydney City Centre Cycleways projects

The Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan (the proposal).

The AIMSUN traffic model provides local area performance indicators (e.g. traffic density plots) which wereinitially used to identify proposal work sites. In the future, the model would be used to estimate the keyperformance statistics for the city centre road network summarised in Table 3.3.



Table 3.3 Key network performance statistics

Performance statistic Description

Vehicle Hours Travelled (VHT) Total travel time of all vehicles travelling on the road network during themodelled period.

Vehicle Kilometres Travelled (VKT) Total travel distance of all vehicles travelling on the road network duringthe modelled period.

Network speed (km/h) The average speed of all vehicles travelling on the road network duringthe modelled period.

The comparison of these performance statistics for alternative network option scenarios would ultimatelyprovide an indication of the anticipated cumulative benefits and/or impacts across the city centre roadnetwork. AIMSUN modelled traffic volumes of elements of the road network impacted by the proposal wouldalso be used to sense-check the outputs of proposal work site traffic models.

4. Future conditions without theproposal

4.1 Sydney City Centre Access StrategyThe Sydney City Centre Access Strategy (Access Strategy) (NSW Government, 2013) is ‘the State’s firstdetailed plan showing how people will enter, exit and move in and around the central business district (CBD)over the next 20 years’. The Access Strategy demonstrates how light rail, buses, trains, ferries, cars, taxis,pedestrians and cyclists will interact in the heart of Sydney. The Access Strategy also provides a cleardirection for how all the different transport modes will work together in the city centre to:

Reduce congestion

Provide for future growth

Improve the customer experience.

The Access Strategy estimates that over 630,000 trips are made to the city centre each day, with much ofthe city centre’s road network congested during peak periods (see Section 2.3). By 2031, the number of tripsinto the city centre is estimated to grow to approximately 775,000 due to a variety of factors, including thedevelopment of Barangaroo and Darling Harbour and anticipated city centre job growth over this period(TfNSW, 2013). Without mitigation, increased traffic demand would further diminish road networkperformance for all road users.

The Access Strategy proposes an integrated transport network, with the intention that the anticipated growthin travel demand to, from, and within the city centre would be accommodated primarily by public and activetransport modes. This would be realised by the delivery of the following key projects to provide a ‘fullyintegrated public transport network” whilst also “making better use of the available street space’ in the citycentre:

The CBD and South East Light Rail project (CSELR), which includes the pedestrianisation of GeorgeStreet, restricting traffic to local property access movements only between Bathurst Street and HunterStreet

The Sydney City Centre Bus Infrastructure project

The Sydney City Centre Cycleways projects.

The construction of these projects is proposed over the next five years. It is intended that their delivery wouldresult in a shift in travel behaviours and patterns within the city centre, effectively eliminating or minimisingfuture growth in traffic demand.

An overview of the city centre’s proposed transport network following the implementation of the AccessStrategy is illustrated in Figure 4.1. Detailed assessments of the traffic and transport impacts and benefits ofAccess Strategy projects are available in:

Various sections of the CSELR Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) (TfNSW, November 2013)

Section 6.1 of the Sydney City Centre Bus Plan Infrastructure REF (Roads and Maritime, 2014)

Section 6.1 of the Sydney City Centre Integrated Cycleway Network REF (Roads and Maritime, 2014).

The following sections provide a summary of future conditions including the forecast impacts of approvedAccess Strategy projects, but excluding the Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan (the proposal).



Figure 4.1 Proposed Sydney City Centre Access Strategy transport networkSource: Sydney City Centre Access Strategy, TfNSW, December 2013



4.2 Travel modesThe Access Strategy will deliver a fully integrated transport network in Sydney’s city centre that meets thegrowing transport task. It will mean more people use public transport to access the city centre change theway people move around within it. Following the implementation of the Access Strategy7:

Rail would remain the dominant mode for travel to and from the city centre.

Together with the Inner West Light Rail extension, the CBD and South East Light Rail would bring newpublic transport options for travel to, from, and through the city centre.

Bus routes will be redesigned, with fewer buses operating more efficiently within the city centre duringpeak hours due to the introduction of Light Rail.

In addition to the introduction of an integrated timetable for ferries, buses and trains, a new ferry hub atBarangaroo would increase ferry accessibility.

In addition to increasing the capacity and efficiency of public transport, the Access Strategy would maintaincity centre access for motorists. Although much of the growth in the future transport task would beaccommodated by public transport services, demand management strategies for road traffic would furtherbenefit network performance in the city centre.

As a result of the above factors, it is assumed that overall traffic demand and volumes on the city centre roadnetwork would remain relatively unchanged from existing conditions, although closures and modifications tothe function of key corridors would result in changes to current traffic patterns and behaviours.

4.3 Future road network

4.3.1 Overview

The Access Strategy prioritises and allocates street space for public transport, general traffic, pedestrians,cyclists, taxis and service vehicles, helping to unlock Sydney’s transport capacity. An overview of theproposed future city centre road network is illustrated in Figure 4.2.

George Street will be pedestrianised between Bathurst Street and Hunter Street as part of the CSELRproject. This change in function and loss of traffic capacity would alter existing traffic patterns and volumes inthe city centre.

The resulting impacts and adjusted functions of key elements of the future road network are detailed in theAccess Strategy. Key features of the proposed future road network are summarised in Table 4.1.

4.5 TaxisThe Access Strategy would provide new and expanded taxi zones around the city centre with taxi ranksevery 150 m. It would also establish short-stay multi-use spaces in the CBD to provide additional pick up/setdown points for taxis. Proposed improvements to existing taxi operations are detailed in the Access Strategy,with key features summarised in Table 4.5.

4.8 Traffic conditionsIn the future traffic patterns and resulting conditions would change, with the traffic capacity of the existingroad network impacted by public and active transport projects proposed under the Access Strategy.Figure 4.6 illustrates areas of the existing road network where traffic conditions would potentially be impactedby a reduction in traffic capacity. Details of the road network impacts of Access Strategy projects by precinctare provided in Table 4.8.

Figure 4.6 Traffic capacity impacts of public and active transport projectsSource: (Based on) Sydney City Centre Access Strategy, TfNSW, December 2013

One of the fundamental effects of implementing the Access Strategy would be the displacement of north-south traffic travelling through the city centre to bypass routes around its perimeter, as illustrated inFigure 4.7. This would occur as a result of:

Increased priority for public and active transport movements within the city centre, and consequentincrease in public and active transport movements, reducing traffic capacity within the city centre.

Increased priority for general traffic movements on routes surrounding the city centre, and the promotionof their use by general traffic.

The Access Strategy promotes the use of bypass routes by general traffic to reduce demand on the citycentre road network; however a large proportion of existing traffic would still require access to and from thecity centre. In addition, major developments including Barangaroo would introduce new sources of trafficgeneration both locally and across the wider network. As a result, although the displacement of generaltraffic would remove some demand from the city centre, the reconfigured network would still be required tosafely and efficiently accommodate a large volume of general traffic as well as buses, service vehicles, andtaxis.

While the implementation of the Access Strategy would reduce overall traffic capacity within the city centre,in some areas projects could result in improvements to localised traffic conditions. Specifically, with GeorgeStreet pedestrianised, restricting traffic to local property access movements only between Bathurst Streetand Hunter Street, intersection operations would be simplified, and conflicting north-south road traffic wouldbe removed within this corridor. This could improve the capacity for and efficiency of east-west movements



along Market Street, King Street, and York Street, providing some mitigation for the loss of capacity for north-south traffic movements.

In summary, the combination of reduced overall traffic capacity within the city centre and the consequentdisplacement of traffic to bypass routes is anticipated to result in the following impacts to traffic conditionsand network performance if left unmitigated:

Large volumes of general traffic, buses, commercial vehicles and taxis would continue to require accessto and from the city centre despite the displacement of some general traffic to bypass routes.

The reduction in demand within the city centre would be negated by the reduction in capacity. As aresult many intersections would continue to operate at or over capacity, resulting in delays andcongestion.

General traffic displaced from the city centre would increase demand on and consequently reduce theperformance of the proposed bypass routes.

Most critically the closure of George Street is anticipated to increase traffic on the Wentworth Avenue-College Street-Macquarie Street corridor, resulting in reduced network performance.

5. The proposal5.1 Proposal contextSection 4 provides an overview of the future transport context within the city centre following theimplementation of the Access Strategy. The introduction of the CBD and South East Light Rail (CSELR),modifications to bus operations and infrastructure, and walking and cycling initiatives would result in majorchanges to the city centre’s road network operations and infrastructure.

While public and active transport projects and initiatives would improve patronage and operations for thesemodes, they would also impact general traffic capacity, patterns, and conditions, and consequently roadnetwork performance.

Some Access Strategy projects, for example the Sydney City Centre Bus Infrastructure project, also proposeupgrades to other roads and intersections which would improve overall traffic capacity. However despitethese mitigation measures the overall traffic capacity of the city centre road network would be reducedfollowing their implementation. Consequently the traffic capacity improvements proposed as part of theSydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan (the proposal) have therefore been developed to integratewith and complement other traffic capacity improvements already planned or proposed across the citycentre.

Section 4.8 describes future traffic conditions following implementation of the Access Strategy; the reducedoverall traffic capacity within the city centre and the displacement of traffic to bypass routes is anticipated toresult in the following impacts to traffic conditions and network performance:

Large volumes of general traffic, buses, commercial vehicles and taxis would continue to require accessto and from the city centre.

The reduction in traffic demand within the city centre would be negated by the reduction in capacity ofthe road network. As a result many intersections would continue to operate at or over capacity, resultingin delays and congestion.

General traffic displaced from the city centre would increase demand on and consequently reduce theperformance of the proposed bypass routes.

Most critically the pedestrianisation of George Street would restrict traffic to local property accessmovements only. This is anticipated to increase traffic on the Wentworth Avenue-College Street-Macquarie Street corridor, resulting in reduced network performance.

To anticipate the fundamental changes to traffic patterns and conditions following implementation of theAccess Strategy, TfNSW developed a multi-modal traffic model covering the city centre and surroundingregional road network. One of the key outcomes of the modelling process was the identification of ‘pinchpoints’; areas of the road network where traffic demand exceeds capacity, resulting in delays, queuing, andcongestion.

Consequently, the Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan (the proposal) builds upon this analysis,involving the development and assessment of schemes which target traffic pinch points within the city centre,proposed to:

Address existing network deficiencies.

Mitigate the potential road network performance impacts of public and active transport projects, whilemaintaining public and active transport performance.

Maintain effective traffic operations on the city centre’s road network.



The development of the proposal included a variety of locations and scheme options. Details of theidentification and preferred option selection process are provided in section 2.5.3 of the REF document. Thepreferred option for the proposal is presented in section 5.3, and assessed in section 6.

5.2 Proposal objectivesThe Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan is proposed to help to mitigate the traffic impacts ofpublic and active transport projects proposed by the Access Strategy.

The overall objective of the proposal is to support the growing demand for access into the Sydney city centreand to improve road network functionality over the coming years, including during construction and operationof a number of projects proposed under the Access Strategy. The proposal would improve the capacity andconsequent performance of some of the city’s most congested roads and constrained intersections, andimprove the ability of the network to accommodate the anticipated changes to traffic conditions. Supportingproposal objectives are to:

Support the growing demand for access through improved key corridor and intersection capacity

Support more efficient road usage to accommodate Sydney’s future growth in demand for bus, taxi, andservice and delivery vehicle movements

Improve road efficiency and allow quality integrated public transport services to meet future demand

Improve the customer experience by improving the safety, amenity and efficiency of the road network

Minimise environmental and socio-economic impacts on the Sydney city centre and on current businessoperations.

5.3 The Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement PlanThe proposal focusses on sections of road (work sites) where improvements are most critical. The proposalwork sites focus on the identified pinch points, which are either unable to cope with existing volumes oftraffic, or would provide an essential function in enabling the Access Strategy.

Although the proposal would increase the capacity and efficiency of traffic movements within the city centre,traffic demand travelling to, from, and within the city centre is not expected to grow significantly.Consequently, the capacity improvements that form ‘the proposal’ focus on opportunities to provide demandmanagement strategies to facilitate the effective and efficient operation of the city centre road network, ratherthan the creation of high-capacity road infrastructure as part of a ‘predict and provide’ strategy.

The proposal has been developed in parallel with the Sydney City Centre Bus Plan Infrastructure projectdetailed design to ensure compatibility. This integrated approach has resulted in a number of proposedmodifications to improve the overall design of the Sydney City Centre Bus Plan Infrastructure project.

One of the major impacts of the Access Strategy is the loss of north-south traffic capacity through the citycentre. With George Street pedestrianised traffic would be restricted to local property access movementsonly between Bathurst Street and Hunter Street. The proposal provides mitigation to reduce the effects ofthis impact by providing additional traffic capacity at critical locations.

In addition to schemes which directly improve capacity on north-south corridors such as College Street andClarence Street, the proposal also includes improvements to the capacity of east-west routes including KingStreet and Market Street. In the context of the city centre’s grid-like system of roads connected by signalisedintersections, improvements to any approach would improve overall intersection (and ultimately network)capacity:



Increased approach lane capacity for east-west movements would reduce traffic delays and green timerequired to achieve equivalent throughput, directly benefitting east-west traffic movements.

Reduced green time for east-west traffic movements would consequently enable greater green time(and capacity) for north-south traffic, reducing delays and improving capacity for north-south trafficmovements.

The primary objective of schemes proposed is to provide additional intersection capacity. However, in someinstances the proposal includes schemes which would marginally reduce intersection capacity whencompared to existing layouts and geometries. In these instances the proposal includes measures which:

Respond to anticipated changes to existing traffic patterns, and/or;

Are proposed to address specific existing operational issues.

Where schemes are proposed which would reduce intersection capacity, it is anticipated that thereconfiguration would result in improved intersection and network operations when compared to future Donothing conditions.

The proposal precincts and worksites are described in detail in Section 3 of the REF document. In summary,the preferred option of the Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan (the proposal) would involve theimplementation of the following traffic capacity improvements:

Intersection reconfiguration and geometry modifications

Kerb extension alterations

Footpath width alterations

Turning restrictions and provisions

Traffic signal timings and priorities

Kerbside allocation modifications (e.g. change to on-street parking, loading zones, mail zones, taxizones)

Lane arrangements.

Each work site has been given a unique reference to reflect the precinct, or the majority of the precinct, inwhich it would be implemented. Table 5.1 lists the work sites within the five precincts. Specific features ofeach of the work sites are described and assessed in Section 6. Further features and details of the proposalare provided in Chapter 3 of the REF document and in the Concept Design document.

6. Future conditions with theproposal

6.1 Construction of proposalConstruction of the proposal is anticipated to start in early 2015, with the works expected to be completedwithin four months. The proposed construction methodology and anticipated impacts during construction ofthe proposal are described in Section 3.3 of the REF document. The overall objective would be to constructthe proposal in a timely and efficient manner, considering the need to:

Maintain access for all travel modes to, from, and through the city centre.

Minimise the impacts to the performance of the city centre road network, particularly during peakperiods.

Ensure construction of the proposal does not conflict with or compound the impacts of trafficmanagement controls and other measures to be implemented by the Access Strategy or other majordevelopment projects (refer to Section 3.1.4 of the REF document).

Ensure the proposal’s impacts would be managed in accordance with the safeguards and managementmeasures identified in section 7 to minimise the environmental and social impacts.

As the proposal would require modifications to some of the busiest roads within Sydney’s city centre, workswould be required at night, during weekends, and potentially during public holidays. This would achieve themost efficient and shortest construction program, and it is also anticipated to be the only feasible way toconstruct the proposal. In the city centre context, many cafes and other ground floor retail businesses do notoperate outside of typical weekday business hours, and therefore would be relatively unaffected by workundertaken at night or on weekends.

The indicative construction plan and method for the proposal allows for multiple work sites to be constructedsimultaneously. It also considers compatibility with the concurrent Access Strategy projects, andconsequently the construction staging required to maintain traffic flows around the city centre.

The following sections provide a summary of the anticipated impacts during the construction of the proposal.The extent, duration, and timing of construction would be confirmed and finalised during the detailed designas part of the construction staging.

6.1.1 Travel modes

During construction of the proposal travel modes within the city centre would be relatively unchanged fromexisting conditions, as described in section 2.1:

Public transport would continue to accommodate the majority of trips to and from the city centre,including high bus volumes.

Car movements would still comprise around 87 per cent of traffic movements at city centreintersections, buses eight per cent, and the remaining five per cent trucks and cyclists.

Pedestrian movements would continue as the primary travel mode (and the dominant proportion of roadusers at many intersections) within the city centre.



Construction traffic generated by the proposal is expected to be relatively low in the context of the city centre.The construction workforce would comprise approximately 10–15 people at any given time, and would mostlikely travel to and from work sites by public transport unless transporting equipment, materials, or waste.Heavy vehicle movements generated by the proposal are estimated as one to two per day. Consequently,construction related traffic would not have any meaningful impact on travel modes or traffic volumes to, from,or within the city centre.

6.1.2 Road network

6.1.2.1 Overview

Construction of the proposal would require changes to the existing road network to facilitate constructionand/or accommodate work compounds. This would result in short-term impacts to network capacity,movement efficiency, and vehicular access. A summary of key construction impacts to the road network isprovided in Table 6.1.

Table 6.1 Road network construction impacts

Feature Impact

Network capacity Partial reduction/removal of traffic lanes at work sites would reduce network capacity.

Movement efficiency Temporary traffic controls (e.g. manual stop/start or temporary traffic lights) wouldincrease delays to road traffic.

Construction traffic access/egress from work compounds would require traffic controland increase delays to road traffic.

Traffic management controls during construction could result in disorientation for roadusers, who have an expectation of being able to navigate by published routes, resultingin increased travel times and delays.

Turning movements Partial reduction/removal of traffic lanes at worksites may reduce/remove turningmovement capacity.

As noted in section 6.1, construction of the proposal during off-peak periods would be undertaken wherepossible to minimise the effects of impacts. In addition, it is not anticipated that any road would require fullclosure at any point to enable construction. Consequently construction activities would not fundamentallychange the function of any key element of the city centre road network during peak periods.

6.1.2.2 Kerbside use

Construction of the proposal would require the temporary reduction or removal of the existing kerbside uses(described in section 2.2.2) to facilitate construction and/or accommodate work compounds. A summary ofconstruction impacts is provided in Table 6.2.

Construction would result in a net loss of on-street parking, with the loss of other kerbside uses at specificlocations generally mitigated by relocation and/or the provision of new, alternative locations (facilitated by theremoval of on-street parking). The residual impact for kerbside uses other than on-street parking wouldtherefore be increased walking distances for users in some instances.



Table 6.2 Kerbside use construction impacts

Feature Impact

On-street parking Partial reduction/removal of general on-street parking spaces would reduce availability ofon-street parking for general traffic.

Partial reduction/removal of mobility on-street parking spaces could remove access forphysically impaired drivers.

Partial reduction/removal of special use on-street parking spaces (e.g. business-specificparking, church parking, etc.) may be disruptive to normal operations and/or events.

Use of alternative on-street parking locations would increase walking distances forusers.

Bus stops, zones, andlayovers

Removal of existing bus stops would reduce bus accessibility, and would require bususers to walk to alternative locations.

Partial reduction/removal of bus layovers would reduce layover capacity; the use ofalternative bus layover locations could impact current bus timetabling and increase bustravel distances.

Loading and mailzones

Partial reduction/removal of loading zones would reduce availability and accessibility forgeneral trade/business use.

Use of alternative on-street loading zones would increase walking distances for users.

Partial reduction/removal of special use mail and loading zones (e.g. Australia Postvehicles, Other Authorised vehicles) would be disruptive to existing operations.

Taxi zones Partial reduction/removal of existing taxi ranks would reduce taxi availability andaccessibility, and would require taxi users to walk to alternative locations.

6.1.2.3 Property access and off-street parking

Construction of the proposal would require the partial reduction/removal of traffic lanes and/or footpaths,which may result in temporary restrictions to property accesses and/or access restrictions to off-streetparking. A summary of construction impacts is provided in Table 6.3.

Table 6.3 Property access and off-street parking construction impacts

Feature Impact

Property access Partial reduction/removal of traffic lanes may reduce kerbside access for vehicles to andfrom property frontages.

Partial reduction of footpaths would reduce pedestrian accessibility.Reductions to existing accessibility would increase delays for affected transport modes.

Off-street parking Partial reduction/removal of traffic lanes may reduce/remove access to off-street parkinglocations.

Reduced accessibility may increase delays for vehicles entering and leaving off-streetparking locations.

Removal of access to and from off-street parking locations would remove off-streetparking availability at the affected location.Use of alternative parking locations would increase walking distances for users.

Section 6.1 notes that construction of the proposal would be undertaken during off-peak periods wherepossible. If at any point access to a property and/or off-street parking required significant restriction and/orfull removal, this would be implemented outside of business hours or the period of lowest activity. As aconsequence construction of the proposal is not expected to significantly impact existing property access orbusiness operations. Details of anticipated property access impacts during construction are provided insection 6.1.3 of the REF document.



6.1.3 Public transport

The reduction and/or removal of bus infrastructure required to facilitate construction and/or accommodatework compounds would impact existing bus operations. In addition, modifications to footpaths duringconstruction would reduce capacity and accessibility for pedestrian movements to and from public transportstops, stations, and interchanges. A summary of construction impacts is provided in Table 6.4.

Table 6.4 Public transport construction impacts

Feature Impact

Bus Reduced road network capacity and additional traffic delays at and surrounding work siteswould increase bus travel times.

Removal of existing bus stops would reduce bus accessibility, and would require bus users towalk to alternative locations.

Partial reduction/removal of footpaths would reduce capacity and accessibility for pedestrianmovements to and from bus stops.

Relocation of bus stops and/or lane closures, if required, could result in existing bus routesbeing re-routed, increasing bus route lengths and travel times.

Partial reduction/removal of bus zones would reduce kerbside capacity for pickups and setdowns, which may impact the overall capacity and/or performance of existing bus services.

Partial reduction/removal of bus layovers would reduce layover capacity; the use of alternativebus layover locations could impact current bus timetabling and increase bus travel distances.

Light rail/Rail/Ferry

Partial reduction/removal of footpaths would reduce capacity and accessibility for pedestrianmovements to and from light rail, rail, and ferry services.

During construction road network capacity would be reduced and additional traffic delays encountered at andsurrounding work sites, which would increase bus travel times. If unmitigated, the short-term impacts wouldbe significant along key bus corridors during peak periods (e.g. York Street during morning peak andClarence Street during afternoon peak periods).

The closure of traffic lanes may require temporary diversions to bus routes during construction. The impactsof diversions are expected to relatively minor, as the city centre road network provides a large number of buscapable routes and corridors for diverted services.

Public transport access would be maintained throughout construction, although there may be a requirementto install temporary bus stops at nearby locations. The residual impact would be relatively minor, with buspassengers required to walk to alternative stop locations.

6.1.4 Taxis

The temporary reduction or removal of taxi kerbside uses and footpaths required to facilitate constructionand/or accommodate work compounds would impact existing taxi operations. In addition, changes to theexisting road network to facilitate construction and/or accommodate work compounds would result in short-term impacts to network capacity, movement efficiency, and vehicular access, which would increase delaysfor taxis. A summary of construction impacts is provided in Table 6.5.



Table 6.5 Taxi construction impacts

Feature Impact

Road network Refer to Table 6.1 – Road Network construction impacts.

Kerbside use Partial reduction/removal of existing taxi ranks would reduce taxi availability and accessibility,and would require taxi users to walk to alternative locations.

Footpaths Partial reduction of footpaths would reduce capacity and accessibility for pedestrian movementsto and from taxi ranks.

6.1.5 Walking

The reduction or removal of footpaths required to facilitate construction and/or accommodate workcompounds would impact pedestrians. Modifications to existing infrastructure would reduce capacity andaccessibility for pedestrian movements in the proximity of work sites. A summary of construction impacts isprovided in Table 6.6.

The reduction in capacity or removal of pedestrian infrastructure may require temporary diversions duringconstruction. This would result in minor residual short term delays and increased travel distances in someinstances.

Table 6.6 Pedestrian construction impacts

Feature Impact

Walking Partial reduction/removal of footpaths would reduce capacity and accessibility for pedestrianmovements in the city centre.

Construction traffic access/egress from work compounds would require traffic control andincrease delays to pedestrians.

Temporary traffic controls (e.g. traffic management staff controlling pedestrian access onfootpaths in proximity of worksites) would increase delays to pedestrians.

Closure of footpaths would require diversions to alternative routes, increasing pedestrian delaysand travel distances.

Partial reduction/removal of existing pedestrian crossing facilities (e.g. signal controls,pedestrian islands) would reduce amenity and accessibility, and potentially require diversions,increase delays and travel times for pedestrian movements.

6.1.6 Cycling

A reduction or removal of cycleways would be required in some instances to facilitate construction and/oraccommodate work compounds. Modifications to existing infrastructure would reduce capacity andaccessibility for cyclists in the proximity of work sites. A summary of construction impacts is provided inTable 6.7.

The restriction of cycling infrastructure may require temporary diversions during construction. The impacts ofdiversions are expected to relatively minor as cyclists would use alternative routes or be directed to dismountand use footpaths. This would result in minor residual short term delays and increased travel distances insome instances.



Table 6.7 Cycling construction impacts

Feature Impact

Cycling Partial reduction/removal of cycleways and general traffic lanes would reduce capacity andaccessibility for cyclists within the city centre, and potentially require diversions.

Construction traffic access/egress from work compounds would require traffic control andincrease delays to cyclists.

Temporary traffic controls (e.g. manual stop/start or temporary traffic lights) would increasedelays to cyclists.

Restriction of access to or removal of existing bicycle racks would reduce cycling amenity andaccessibility.

6.1.7 Traffic conditions

A summary of traffic generated by construction is provided in Table 6.8; the low volumes of additional trafficgenerated by construction of the proposal, in the context of the current traffic environment within the citycentre, would not have any meaningful impact on conditions within the city centre.

Table 6.8 Construction traffic overview

Source Details

Constructionworkforce

Estimated as approximately 10–15 people at any given time.

Anticipated to travel to and from work sites by public transport unless transporting equipment,materials, or waste.

Otherconstructiontraffic

Construction activities which would generate vehicle activity described in Section 3.3 of the REFdocument.

Construction is likely to generate light vehicles, delivery trucks, concrete trucks, cranes, andother mobile construction vehicles. It is not anticipated that over height or over mass vehicleswould be required to construct the proposal.

General construction traffic generation estimated as approximately 20–30 light vehicles eachday between designated construction compounds and work sites.

Light vehicle movements would be supplemented by 1–2 heavy vehicle movements each daytransporting construction equipment and materials.

Construction would generate a small quantity of spoil and waste; there would be a requirementto remove material at end of each works shift due to space restrictions.

Any large quantity of excavated or waste materials would require immediate removal, as therewould be no material or waste stockpiling adjacent to any active work site.

Removal of waste materials estimated to require one truck movement each day, with a singlevehicle potentially servicing multiple work sites.

Construction vehicles would use designated haul routes along existing roads within the citycentre.

Given the low volume of construction traffic generated by the proposal, traffic conditions during constructionwould effectively only be impacted by the changes to the road network described in section 6.1.2.1.

It is anticipated that there would be reduced traffic capacity and additional delays at and surrounding worksites due to the implementation of lane restrictions, localised access arrangements, and traffic controls.These short-term impacts would result in reduced network performance on the road network immediatelysurrounding work sites. However, as works are proposed outside of peak periods, and it is not anticipatedthat any road would require full closure, no significant impact to the overall performance of the city centreroad network is expected.



6.2 Operation with proposalThe proposal would optimise the use of the available street space within the city centre. This would maintaineffective transport operations on the city centre’s road network by mitigating:

Existing network deficiencies.

Cumulative impacts anticipated as a result of the construction of other Access Strategy projects andother developments in the city centre.

As discussed in section 2, driving trips to and from the city centre during peak hours have plateaued inrecent years, with much of the road network within the city centre currently operating at or over capacity.section 4 describes how the future capacity of the road network would be reduced, but public and activetransport mode shares increased, as a result of the construction of Access Strategy projects such as theCSELR.

Although the proposal would increase the capacity and efficiency of traffic movements within the city centre,due to the above factors it is not expected to increase (or accommodate growth in) traffic demand travellingto, from, and within the city centre. Consequently the proposal focusses on demand management strategiesto facilitate the effective and efficient operation of the city centre road network, rather than the creation ofhigh-capacity road infrastructure.

The following sections provide a summary of the anticipated operational benefits and impacts of theproposal.

6.2.1 Travel modes

Section 4.2 provides an overview of anticipated travel modes to, from, and within the city centre following theimplementation of the Access Strategy9:

Rail would remain the dominant travel mode

Light rail projects would introduce new public transport options

Bus routes would be redesigned, with fewer buses operating more efficiently due to the introduction oflight rail

Integrated timetabling and a new ferry hub at Barangaroo would increase ferry accessibility

Walking and cycling would continue to perform a major role in facilitating travel to, from, and within thecity centre

Pedestrians would still generate the vast majority of trips made within the city centre.

By increasing the availability, capacity, and efficiency of public transport it is anticipated that overall trafficvolumes would remain relatively constant, with increased public and active transport patronageaccommodating overall demand growth.




6.2.2 Future road network

6.2.2.1 Overview

As discussed in section 4.3.1, the Access Strategy would result in the closure and modifications to thefunction of key road corridors in the city centre, although traffic access would be maintained. The resultingimpacts and adjusted functions of key features of the future road network are detailed in the AccessStrategy, summarised in Table 4.1, and illustrated in Figure 4.2.

To mitigate the potential impacts of Access Strategy projects which prioritise public and active transportmodes, the proposal would involve the implementation of the following traffic capacity improvements atlocations throughout the city centre:





Traffic signal timings and priorities

Kerbside allocation modifications, including no-stopping provisions

Lane arrangement adjustments.

Generally the schemes proposed would benefit traffic operations and impact other modes/uses, with thecapacity improvements of the proposal developed to provide integrated transport solutions with net benefits.In some instances localised traffic operations would be impacted through the restriction of existing turningmovements proposed to improve overall network performance.

Section 6.2.3 provides details of the future road networks proposed for each of the precincts, and theconsequent benefits and impacts of the proposal within these areas. Further features and details of theproposal are provided in Chapter 3 of the REF document and in the Concept Design document.

6.2.2.2 Kerbside use

The proposal would require the permanent reduction or removal of existing kerbside uses (described insection 2.2.2) at some worksites to achieve the required traffic capacity improvements. A summary of theresulting impacts is provided in Table 6.9.

The most notable loss of on-street parking would be the net loss of between 93-115 on-street parking spaces(including one car share space), six mobility impaired parking spaces, and seven motorcycle parking zones.In some areas the use of existing parking spaces would only be restricted during peak traffic periods. Theresidual net loss of parking would be mitigated by:

The availability and use of alternative on-street parking facilities

Increased utilisation of the current spare capacity at various off-street parking locations, which isencouraged by the Access Strategy.



The proposal would also create a net loss of between 10 and 27 loading zone spaces in the critical weekdaymorning and inter-peak period, which could impact businesses and other users of these facilities. In theafternoon peak when servicing demands are less, the net loss of loading zone spaces increases toapproximately 92 spaces. The proposal would also result in a net loss of four mail zone spaces and a singletaxi rank. At some locations kerbside losses would be mitigated by the creation or improvement of kerbsideuse in an alternative location. For lost and relocated kerbside uses the residual impacts could include:

Increased walking distances for users in some instances

Adjusted delivery locations and schedules for businesses to accommodate changes to loading zoneprovisions.

Table 6.9 Kerbside use operation impacts

Feature Impact

On-street parking Net loss of:

between 93-115 time restricted general parking spaces (including one car sharingspace) in the weekday period between 6.00 am and 8.00 pm

six mobility parking spaces

in the order seven motorcycle parking zones.

Partial reduction/timing restrictions/removal of general on-street parking spaces wouldreduce availability of on-street parking for general traffic.

Partial reduction/removal of mobility on-street parking spaces could remove access forphysically impaired drivers.

Partial reduction/removal of special use on-street parking spaces (e.g. business-specificparking, church parking, etc.) may be disruptive to normal operations and/or events.

Use of alternative on-street parking locations would increase walking distances for users.

Bus stops, zones,and layovers

Modification/relocation of existing bus stops may require bus users to travel relativelysmall additional distances to alternative locations.

Modification/relocation of bus layovers may change layover operations; relocation couldimpact current bus timetabling and increase bus travel distances.

Loading and mailzones

Net loss of:

between 10 and 27 loading zone spaces in the weekday morning and inter-peakperiods and approximately 92 spaces in the weekday afternoon peak

four mail zone spaces.

Relocation/timing restrictions of loading zones would reduce availability and accessibilityfor general trade/business use.

Use of alternative on-street loading zones could increase walking distances for users.

Modification/relocation of special use mail and loading zones (e.g. Australia Post vehicles,Other Authorised vehicles) could be disruptive to existing operations.

Taxi zones Net loss of a single Taxi Rank through the creation of two new ranks to replace threeremoved ranks.

Modification/relocation of existing taxi ranks would reduce taxi availability andaccessibility, and would require taxi users to walk to alternative locations.



6.2.2.3 Property access and off-street parking

The proposal would not fundamentally modify existing vehicle and property accesses. The possible minorimpacts to property access and off-street parking are summarised in Table 6.10.

Table 6.10 Property access and off-street parking operation impacts

Feature Impact

Property access Modification of footpaths in proximity of pedestrian access points could reduce pedestrianaccessibility.

Off-street parking Increased demand for off-street parking as a result of the net loss of on-street parkingfacilities could increase congestion in, and reduce availability of, off-street parking.

For schemes in the proximity of existing vehicle accesses, modifications would either maintain or improve(e.g. provide greater sight lines through the removal of kerbside parking) existing operations.

6.2.3 Public transport

The proposal would improve bus operations as a result of the modification of existing bus lanearrangements, and improvements to the overall capacity and efficiency of the road network within the citycentre.

The proposal has been developed in parallel with the Sydney City Centre Bus Plan Infrastructure project,with modifications proposed to improve the overall design of both projects. Generally the creation ofadditional traffic capacity throughout the city centre would improve travel speeds and reduce travel times forall road vehicles, including buses. In addition, the reconfiguration of existing bus lanes on Clarence Streetwould remove the current conflict between buses and general traffic when moving around stopped buses,improving bus travel times along this corridor.

Temporary adjustments and restrictions to bus infrastructure during construction would be removed followingconstruction. The permanent partial reduction of footpaths at specific locations following construction wouldresult in a slight reduction in capacity for pedestrian movements to and from public transport services, asindicated in Table 6.11.

Table 6.11 Public transport operation impacts

Feature Impact

Bus Partial reduction of footpaths would reduce capacity and accessibility for pedestrianmovements to and from bus stops.

Light rail/Rail/Ferry Partial reduction of footpaths would reduce capacity and accessibility for pedestrianmovements to and from light rail, rail, and ferry services.

6.2.4 Taxis

Taxi movements would generally benefit from the overall road network capacity improvements created by theproposal, with increased capacity reducing delays and increasing movement efficiency throughout the citycentre as described in section 6.2.7.

As discussed in section 6.2.2, the only minor residual impacts to taxi operations would be a result ofmodifications to kerbside uses and the reduction in footpath widths in some locations, as summarised inTable 6.12.



Table 6.12 Taxi operation impacts

Feature Impact

Kerbside use Modification/relocation of existing taxi ranks would reduce taxi availability and accessibility, andwould require taxi users to walk to alternative locations.

Footpaths Partial reduction of footpaths would reduce capacity and accessibility for pedestrian movements toand from taxi ranks.

6.2.5 Walking

Pedestrian movements in the city centre would not be fundamentally altered by the proposal (as pedestrianconsiderations were considered when developing projects as part of the proposal). At some locations theproposal would provide kerb extensions which would increase pedestrian capacity and safety. At theintersection of Broadway and Abercrombie Street, a new signalised crossing of the left slip lane into WattleStreet would improve pedestrian safety, amenity, and travel times. However, the proposed reduction offootpath widths and removal of kerb extensions would impact pedestrian capacity in some locations.A summary of operational impacts is provided in Table 6.13.

Table 6.13 Pedestrian operation impacts

Feature Impact

Walking Partial reduction of footpath widths and removal of footpath extensions would reduce capacityfor pedestrian movements in the city centre.

Removal of existing pedestrian crossing facility on York Street south of King Street wouldreduce local amenity and accessibility, increasing travel times for pedestrian movements.

The impacts of the removal of existing pedestrian infrastructure would generally be mitigated by the provisionof existing or new infrastructure in alternative locations. Specifically, the loss of the York Street signalisedpedestrian crossing would be mitigated by the widening of the pedestrian crossing at the intersection of YorkStreet and King Street, which is in close proximity.

As a result of these mitigation measures, the residual impacts of the proposal would be small increases totravel times and distances for some movements. When considering the cumulative effects of the broaderAccess Strategy and associated works, it is believed that pedestrian accessibility and connectivity in the citycentre would ultimately improve.

6.2.6 Cycling

The existing bicycle network would not be fundamentally altered by the proposal. However, the proposedremoval of cycleways at some locations would impact cyclists. A summary of operational impacts is providedin Table 6.14.

Table 6.14 Cycling operation impacts

Feature Impact

Cycling Removal of cycleways would reduce capacity and accessibility for cyclists within the city centre.

Removal of existing bicycle racks would reduce cycling amenity and accessibility.

The impacts of the removal of existing cycling infrastructure would generally be mitigated by the provision ofexisting or new infrastructure in alternative locations:

The loss of the existing College Street cycleway would be mitigated by the provision of a new cyclewayon Castlereagh Street.



The loss of bicycle racks would be mitigated by the relocation of these facilities, and/or the availability ofother bicycle racks at nearby locations.

As a result of these mitigation measures, the residual impacts of the proposal would be small increases totravel times and distances for some movements. When considering the cumulative effects of the broaderAccess Strategy and associated works, it is believed that cyclist accessibility and connectivity in the citycentre would ultimately improve.

6.2.7 Traffic conditions

As discussed in section 6.2, the proposal is not expected to increase or accommodate growth in trafficdemand. Consequently the proposal provides demand management strategies to facilitate the effective andefficient operation of the city centre road network, mitigating the impacts resulting from changes to trafficpatterns and behaviours as a result public and active transport projects proposed by the Access Strategy,supporting the effective and efficient movement of buses, taxis, service and delivery vehicles, and generaltraffic.

The proposal would improve the capacity for, and efficiency of, traffic movements at pinch points within thecity centre, and consequently reduce overall delays, queue lengths, and congestion through theimplementation of road network modifications described in section 6.2.2.1. The proposal would also improveoverall road network management, including the use of kerbside space, to ensure the city centre roadnetwork provides safe and effective access.

In addition to schemes which directly improve capacity on north-south corridors such as College Street andClarence Street, the proposal also includes improvements to the capacity of east-west routes including KingStreet and Market Street. In the context of the city centre’s grid-like system of roads connected by signalisedintersections, improvements to any approach would improve overall intersection (and ultimately network)capacity:

Increased approach lane capacity for east-west movements would reduce traffic delays and green timerequired to achieve equivalent throughput, directly benefitting east-west traffic movements.

Reduced green time for east-west traffic movements would consequently enable greater green time(and capacity) for north-south traffic, reducing delays and improving capacity for north-south trafficmovements.

SIDRA intersection models for each worksite have been developed to assess future operational performance(Level of Service) at a micro-level, based on the modified road network when subjected to existing trafficvolumes and patterns.

The implementation of the proposal would improve capacity and consequently reduce intersection DoS.However, in the city centre road network context the benefits of these capacity improvements would relyupon, and be effected by, corresponding capacity increases at surrounding intersections. Due to this thecombined effects on improved capacity on a worksite corridor basis have been estimated where relevant, asdescribed in section 3.3.

The primary objective of schemes proposed is to provide additional intersection capacity. However, in someinstances the proposal includes schemes which would marginally reduce intersection capacity whencompared to existing layouts and geometries. In these instances the proposal includes measures which:

Respond to anticipated changes to existing traffic patterns, and/or;

Are proposed to address specific existing operational issues.



Where schemes are proposed which would reduce intersection capacity, it is anticipated that thereconfiguration would result in improved intersection and network operations when compared to future Donothing conditions.

The following sections provide the results of this modelling to illustrate the anticipated intersection andworksite corridor performance benefits of the proposal. In addition the potential increases in daily traffic as aresult of an increase in worksite corridor capacities are provided. These forecasts are based on theassumption that redistributed traffic demand in the future would increase localised intersection and worksitedemand, resulting in similar Degrees of Saturation to existing conditions.

The SIDRA modelling undertaken provides detailed intersection performance indicators which have beenused to develop, test and refine the traffic management schemes proposed. The modelling has beenundertaken using the existing conditions models described in section 2.3 as a basis. Consequently theresults presented in the following sections provide a ‘like-for-like’ indication of the improvements to individual,isolated intersection performance as a result of the proposal.

Section 2.3 discusses the effects of queuing in the city centre context; vehicle queues which extend to andthrough adjacent intersections can dramatically reduce intersection capacity and efficiency and overallnetwork efficiency as a result of further cascading impacts. Conversely, a reduction in queue lengths throughcapacity and efficiency improvements could result in benefits to both intersection and wider networkperformance.

6.2.7.1 North-west precinct

Proposed traffic management plan

A summary of the proposed traffic management plan for the North-west precinct is provided in Table 6.15.Schematic diagrams used as the basis to assess the operational benefits of the proposed trafficmanagement plans are provided in Appendix A. The concept designs for the proposal schemes are providedin the Concept Design report.

Traffic volumes and network performance

Table 6.16 provides a summary of performance at key intersections within the precinct which would bemodified following implementation of the proposal. The proposal would improve capacity and consequentlyreduce intersection DoS when compared to existing conditions, with the most significant reductions in DoSachieved at the following intersections:

Kent Street with Erskine Street

King Street with York Street.

The estimated cumulative benefits to intersection and worksite corridor capacities are summarised inTable 6.17 and illustrated in Figure 6.1, which indicate increases of approximately:

3 per cent on King Street between Sussex Street and Castlereagh Street

3 per cent in the vicinity of the Kent Street and Erskine Street intersection.

6.2.7.3 Southern precinct


A summary of the proposed traffic management plan for the Southern precinct is provided in Table 6.21.Schematic diagrams used as the basis to assess the operational benefits of the proposed trafficmanagement plans are provided in Appendix A. The concept designs for the proposal schemes are providedin the Concept Design report.



Sussex Street with Liverpool Street

Pitt Street with Campbell Street

Ultimo Road with Harris Street.


2 per cent on Sussex Street between Liverpool Street and Goulburn Street

10 per cent in the vicinity of the Goulburn Street and George Street intersection

10 per cent on Pitt Street between Liverpool Street and Rawson Place.

The proposal would improve the overall traffic capacity across the Southern precinct. However, as a result ofthe implementation of the proposal at the Pitt Street/George Street/Lee Street intersection, capacity at thislocation would be reduced by around three per cent when compared to the existing configuration.

The reduction in capacity would be the result of the reconfiguration of the second lane on the north-eastbound George Street approach. This lane currently provides a second left turn lane onto George Streetnorthbound. The proposal would convert this lane into a north-eastbound through lane for traffic travellingfrom George Street to Pitt Street, with a short exit lane of approximately 40 m provided on the Pitt Street exitto accommodate three lanes of traffic through the intersection, as shown in Appendix A3 (Table A3.1).

Although the reconfiguration would reduce overall potential intersection capacity, the proposal would providea targeted capacity increase for the George Street to Pitt Street through movement. Demand for thismovement is expected to increase following the pedestrianisation of George Street, with Pitt Street andconnecting routes used as alternatives for displaced traffic travelling to and through the city centre.

Traffic conditions without the proposal are expected to deteriorate when compared to existing conditions, asthe anticipated change in demand and traffic patterns would result in the intersection operating over capacityfor particular movements. Conversely the modelled performance of the intersection including the proposalindicates that performance improvements including reduced delays and queuing would be created whencompared to existing conditions, despite the marginal reduction in overall intersection capacity.

Additional sensitivity modelling has also been undertaken for the Pitt Street/George Street/Lee Streetintersection, re-distributing 50 per cent of existing demand travelling to and from the northern George Streetarm, to equivalent movements using the north-eastern Pitt Street arm. The results of this modelling indicateexisting performance levels would be maintained despite the change in traffic patterns.

6.2.7.5 Financial precinct


A summary of the proposed traffic management plan for the Financial precinct is provided in Table 6.27.Schematic diagrams used as the basis to assess the operational benefits of the proposed trafficmanagement plans are provided in Appendix A. The concept designs for the proposal schemes are providedin the Concept Design report.


Table 6.28 provides a summary of performance at key intersections within the precinct which would bemodified following implementation of the proposal.

The estimated cumulative benefits and impacts to intersection and worksite corridor capacities aresummarised in Table 6.29 and illustrated in Figure 6.5, which indicate an increase of approximately 4 percent in the vicinity of the Macquarie Street and Bridge Street intersection.

Section 2.6.5.2 notes that eastbound traffic queues on Hunter Street on the approach to the MacquarieStreet intersection currently extend to Elizabeth Street during PM peak periods, consequently reducingnetwork capacity and performance.

One of the key benefits of the proposed modifications within the Financial precinct is an improvement to thecurrent operation of the Macquarie Street and Hunter Street intersection during PM peak periods, with theright turn lane from Macquarie Street southbound into Hunter Street eastbound removed. The SIDRAmodelling undertaken for this intersection indicates that the current average delay on the Hunter Streetapproach is over 50 seconds (LoS D). The proposal would improve the performance of this approach to anaverage delay of less than 40 seconds (LoS C), while both Macquarie Street approaches would continue tooperate at LoS A. The reduction in average delay on Hunter Street would be expected to benefit widernetwork performance by reducing critical queue lengths when compared to conditions without the proposal.

Despite the anticipated network benefits the proposal would create a localised capacity decrease ofapproximately eight per cent at the Macquarie Street and Hunter Street intersection when compared toexisting conditions. The proposal would also redirect traffic through the Macquarie Street and Bent Streetintersection which would reduce available capacity at this location. It is therefore proposed that furtherinvestigation would be undertaken during detailed design to maintain or improve the network-wide benefits ofthe Financial precinct schemes, while further reducing the localised capacity impacts.

6.2.7.6 Traffic conditions benefits and impacts summary

Table 6.30 provides a summary of the benefits and impacts of the proposal on traffic conditions, withestimated worksite capacity benefits and impacts across the study area illustrated in Figure 6.6. Figure 6.7illustrates where the capacity improvements to work sites would directly benefit existing network constraintswhich currently result in traffic delays and/or queuing issues.

The SIDRA modelling undertaken demonstrates the localised capacity performance improvements which theproposal would create at intersections and within worksite corridors. These capacity improvements wouldhelp to mitigate the overall loss of city centre traffic capacity created by the implementation of other AccessStrategy projects.

Overall the proposal would improve the overall capacity for, and efficiency of, traffic movements at pinchpoints within the city centre, and consequently reduce delays, queue lengths, and congestion. In someinstances localised traffic operations would be impacted through the restriction or modification of existingintersection movements proposed to improve overall network performance.

As a result of the implementation of the proposal the potential capacity at the following intersections wouldbe reduced when compared to their current configurations:

Pitt Street/George Street/Lee Street/Quay Street

Macquarie Street/Hunter Street


Although the total potential intersection capacity at these locations would be reduced, the proposal wouldprovide the following targeted improvements to capacity and/or operations:

The modelled performance of the Pitt Street/George Street/Lee Street/Quay Street intersectionincluding the proposal indicates that performance improvements including reduced delays and queuingwould be created when compared to its existing configuration, despite the marginal reduction in overallintersection capacity.

The modelled performance of the Macquarie Street/Hunter Street intersection including the proposalindicates the average delay of the Hunter Street approach would be improved by around 10 seconds,while both Macquarie Street approaches would continue to operate at LoS A. The reduction in averagedelay on Hunter Street would be expected to benefit wider network performance by reducing criticalqueue lengths when compared to conditions without the proposal.

Prepare a construction traffic management plan (CTMP) in accordance with TrafficControl at Works Sites (Roads and Maritime, 2011) and QA specification G10: Control ofTraffic (Roads and Maritime, 2011). It would form a sub-plan of the CEMP. As aminimum, the plan would include the following controls:

Minimise use of heavy vehicle on local roads

Restrict deliveries to outside of peak traffic periods where possible

Ensure emergency vehicle access is maintained, including consultation withemergency services

Manage short-term access restrictions during construction

Regulate traffic movements and minimise traffic switching during construction throughimplemented traffic controls

7.1 Construction of proposalAs noted in section 6.1, construction of the proposal is anticipated to start in early 2015, with the worksexpected to be completed within four months. Construction would be undertaken during off-peak periodswhere possible to minimise the effects of impacts. In addition, it is not anticipated that any road would requirefull closure at any point to enable construction. Consequently construction activities would not fundamentallychange the function of any key element of the city centre road network during peak periods. An overview ofthe impacts and mitigation strategy of the proposal during construction is provided in Table 7.2.

The proposed mitigation measures would be taken forward for development in the detail design. They wouldbe implemented under a Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP). The CTMP would provide thedetails of the traffic management controls required to ensure that traffic flow is maintained within the citycentre during construction. The plan would also contain specific traffic, pedestrian and cyclist control plans.

7.2 Operation with proposalThe proposal generally balances improved traffic capacity throughout the city centre with a reduction in theavailability of certain kerbside uses. Transport for NSW is also committed developing a kerbside allocationstrategy to mitigate the cumulative impacts introduced by the proposal and the other Access Strategyprojects. The focus of this proposal – the Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement Plan – is to implementthe modifications necessary changes to allow the other committed projects to progress in a timely andefficient manner.

The proposal would improve the capacity for, and efficiency of, traffic movements at pinch points within thecity centre, and consequently reduce overall delays, queue lengths, and congestion through theimplementation of road network modifications described in section 6.2.2.1. The proposal would also improveoverall road network management, including the use of kerbside space, to ensure the city centre roadnetwork provides safe and effective access.

A summary of the impacts to the transport network as a result of implementing the proposal, and mitigationmeasures to reduce the effects of these impacts, is provided in Table 7.3.

8. Next steps (Future AIMSUNModelling)

This traffic and transport assessment focusses on the analysis of localised performance improvements atselected locations across the city centre road network. It is proposed that AIMSUN modelling would beundertaken as part of an ongoing process to analyse the cumulative effects of transport developmentsincluding the proposal and other Access Strategy projects across the city centre. This modelling would alsoable to consider regional growth factors including other major committed and approved traffic generatingdevelopments in the city centre.

The AIMSUN traffic model would be used to estimate existing and future traffic distribution, and assess theoverall performance of the Sydney city centre traffic network. Importantly this modelling would be used toforecast the cumulative impacts of Access Strategy projects impacts, including:

CBD to South East Light Rail project (CSELR)

Sydney City Centre Bus Infrastructure project

The Sydney City Centre Cycleways projects

The proposal.

The model would be used to estimate the key performance statistics for the city centre road networksummarised in discussed in section 3. The comparison of performance statistics for alternative networkoption scenarios would ultimately provide an indication of the anticipated cumulative benefits and/or impactsacross the city centre road network. Specifically, it is proposed that AIMSUN modelling would be undertakento demonstrate:

Existing network conditions to provide a benchmark to test future network options against.

Future conditions based on the road network conditions proposed by Access Strategy projectsexcluding the proposal to determine the cumulative network impacts of Access Strategy projects.

Future conditions based on the road network conditions proposed by Access Strategy projectsincluding the proposal to determine the cumulative network benefits of the proposal.

AIMSUN modelled traffic volumes of elements of the road network impacted by the proposal would also beused to sense-check the outputs of proposal work site traffic models.

Executive Summary


PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Roads and Maritime propose to introduce a number of traffic efficiency improvements in 17 congested and critical locations across the city centre to make better use of the available street space as described in the Sydney City Centre Access Strategy (the Access Strategy) (Transport for NSW, 2013) (the proposal).

SLR Consulting Australia (SLR) was commissioned to prepare a construction and operational noise and vibration impact assessment to support the proposal review of environmental factors (REF).

The proposal would include the following six general types of traffic efficiency improvements:





Kerbside allocation modifications

Lane arrangements.

This would be supplemented by other supporting work including surface drainage and utility modifications and adjustments and tree pruning/removal etc.

The proposal is divided into 17 work sites across five precincts. This is to assist in describing the existing environment and assessing the proposal's potential impacts. The precincts are:

Precinct 1: North West

Precinct 2: Retail

Precinct 3: Southern

Precinct 4: College

Precinct 5: Financial

Construction is anticipated to start in the first half of 2015 and it would take up to one year to complete due to the complexities of programming the work to avoid impacting on the city’s traffic. To avoid impacting on the city’s traffic night-time works would also likely be required.

EXISTING ENVIRONMENT

As part of this proposal, operator-attended noise monitoring was undertaken at 19 locations within the study area during September 2014. In addition both long-term unattended and short-term attended noise monitoring undertaken for the Sydney City Centre Bus Infrastructure REF (Jacobs, 2014) was used for this proposal.

The purpose of the noise monitoring was to determine existing noise levels in the study area and establish construction Noise Management Levels (NMLs) for the assessment of potential noise impacts during construction.



Revision 0 Page 4

Executive Summary


The monitoring data showed that there is only a small change between daytime, evening and night time average (LAeq) noise levels in the city centre. The determined rating background level (RBL) showed that the night-time has periods of lower noise levels. However, night time average noise levels are not significantly lower than daytime noise levels. The results also showed that the city centre is a noisy environment. Whilst road traffic generated noise contributes the most to the long-term ambient conditions, other noise sources such as human activity and air conditioning units also make a notable contribution.

Noise and vibration sensitive receptors were identified adjacent to each work site in order to undertake the noise and vibration assessment.

CONSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT

Construction Noise

Consistent with the requirements of the Interim Construction Noise Guideline (DECC, 2009), the construction noise impacts were assessed based on a realistic worst-case assessment. For most activities, it is expected that the construction noise levels would be lower than have been (conservatively) predicted in this report. The predicted noise impacts that would result under the worst-case scenario for each construction activity at each work site are presented in Section 4.3.

The assessment identified the locations where construction noise is predicted to temporarily exceed the NMLs. The results showed the highest predicted noise levels for the closest sensitive receivers to the construction activities at each work site. It should be noted that even though the total construction period would be more than three weeks at some of the work sites, the noisiest plant and equipment, which would causes the exceedances of the NMLs, would typically only be operating in the order of a few days, with significantly lower noise levels during other periods.

In summary, the construction noise impact assessment shows that:

The greatest impacts would occur at night, with potential sleep disturbance if the noisiest activities are not avoided at night.

There would be a non-compliance with the NMLs for distance of 90-190 metre (m) from the noisiest plant at night.

There would be a non-compliance with the NMLs for distance of 25-50 m from the noisiest plant during the day.

The highest maximum noise emissions are generated for work sites requiring kerb alterations, there are however only short sections of kerb alterations at any work site with only potential for relatively short term impacts.

The highest potential noise impacts are predicted in precinct 2: retail along Clarence Street: R4, York Street: R5 and Market Street: R2.

There are no identified noise impacts from construction related road traffic and heavy vehicle movements.

It should be noted that the NMLs are intended as screening criteria, to identify where there is a potential for people to be adversely affect. Exceedances of the NMLs are common for most construction works and would trigger a range of safeguards and management measures to be implemented to manage and minimise any adverse impacts.

Executive Summary


Noise management measures as outlined in Section 7 should be considered to minimise any potential noise impacts during the construction stages. A Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan would be developed to document all necessary measures to safeguard and manage potential noise and vibration levels during standard daytime and ‘out of hours’ construction activities.

Construction Vibration

For the proposed works, only those activities requiring a vibratory roller or jackhammering would generate any substantial vibration levels.

For the construction vibration assessment, the shortest distance to vibration intensive plant for each work site was assessed against the recommended safe working distances in Table 22.

Most of the buildings adjacent to the work sites in the city centre are reinforced building types which are less sensitive to vibrations than typical residential buildings. The safe working distances included in Table 22 (based on the Transport for NSW Construction Noise Strategy) may, therefore, be overly conservative for most of the work sites. It should also be noted that some receivers such as facilities with highly vibration sensitive equipment may be more sensitive.

The vibration assessment showed that there are buildings within the safe working distances for cosmetic damage and human comfort.

For all locations where the safe working distances for cosmetic damage would be exceeded, a vibration criterion based on the type of building structure should be determined. This is likely to result in increased safe working distances. Building condition surveys should be completed for any buildings identified to be within the safe working distance both before and after the works to identify existing damage and any damage that may have been caused due to the works. Vibration monitoring should also be undertaken during the vibration intensive works to ensure compliance. At some locations a smaller size vibratory roller may be required.

Operational Assessment

Operational noise impacts were assessed against changes in the predicted noise levels based on the assumption that an increase or decrease of 2 to 3 dB LAeq would be perceptible and therefore notable. The Road Noise Policy 2011 (RNP) by the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW (DECCW) states that a change in noise level of less than 2 dB is considered barely perceptible to the average person. This threshold criterion was used to assess predicted change in noise levels due to road traffic changes throughout the proposal.

Results detailed in Table 42 show that the proposal would result in an imperceptible increase in road traffic noise levels across the study area. For a road section in work site C1 (Wentworth Avenue) the criterion was predicted to be exceeded at night. However, there are no residential receivers in the vicinity of that road section, and hence impacts are considered to be marginal.

1 INTRODUCTION

Roads and Maritime propose to introduce a number of traffic efficiency improvements in 17 congested and critical locations across the city centre to make better use of the available street space as described in the Sydney City Centre Access Strategy (the Access Strategy) (Transport for NSW, 2013) (the proposal).

SLR Consulting Australia (SLR) has been to prepare a construction and operational noise and vibration impact assessment to support the proposal review of environmental factors (REF).

The proposal would affect 17 locations and involve implementing one of six general types of traffic efficiency improvement:





Traffic signal timing priorities

Kerbside allocation modifications.

A range of supporting work would also be required under the proposal including:

Major equipment relocation (eg telephone boxes, parking ticket vending machines, post boxes)

Tree pruning or removal

Bus lane marking alterations or instalment

Road regrading and resurfacing

Traffic signal and lighting pole works

Surface drainage modification and relocation

Bus shelter relocation

Utility works.

For ease of reference, the proposal has been split across five precincts:

Precinct 1: north-west

Precinct 2: retail


Precinct 4: college

Precinct 5: financial.

Each precinct contains one or more of the 17 work site locations refer to Table 1.

1.1.1 Construction program

Construction is anticipated to start in the first half of 2015 and it would take up to one year to complete due to the complexities of programming the works to avoid impacting on the city’s traffic.

1.1.2 Construction hours and duration

In order to minimise impacts on some of Sydney’s busiest roads the majority of the construction works would need to take place outside of peak periods (termed ‘out of hours’ working). This would include working at night and over the weekend. This would achieve the most efficient and shortest construction program. The extent, duration and construction timing would be confirmed and finalised by the construction contractor as part of the construction staging however the impacts of this have been considered in this specialist study.

1.1.3 Noise and vibration generation

The proposal has the potential to generate noise and vibration as a result of:

Construction work

Operational traffic.

Consequently, the above activities may impact on sensitive receivers located within the five city centre precincts described above (the study area). The purpose of this report is to identify these impacts.

1.2 Study area

The noise and vibration assessment study area considered the people and other sensitive receivers and buildings that would be affected by construction and operational noise and vibration within the five precincts shown on Figure 1.

Revision 0 Page 12


1.3 Acoustic Terminology

Below provides a brief summary of the acoustic terminology used throughout the report. Further information is provided in Attachment A.

LA1(1minute) the “typical maximum noise level” for an event, used in the assessment of potential sleep disturbance during night-time periods. Alternatively, assessment may be conducted using the LAmax or maximum noise level.

LAeq (15minute) the “energy average noise level” evaluated over a 15-minute period. This parameter is used to assess the potential construction noise impacts.

LA90 the “background noise level” in the absence of construction activities. This parameter represents the average minimum noise level during the daytime, evening and night-time periods respectively. The LAeq(15 minute) construction Noise Management Levels are based on the LA90 background noise levels.

LA10 describes the noise levels that occur for 10 per cent of the time, therefore describing the noisiest periods

LAmax describes the maximum noise level recorded at any point in time

Rating background (noise) levels (RBLs) describe the ambient background noise levels during the day, evening and at night.

The subscript “A” indicates that the noise levels are filtered to match normal human hearing characteristics (ie A-weighted).

2 EXISTING NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise monitoring data were used to characterise the existing ambient noise environment across the study area and to establish the noise emission targets.

Data from other projects were used and supplemented by collecting additional data for this proposal.

Data from the Bus Infrastructure project and the CBD to South East Light Rail (CSLER) environmental impact statement (EIS) were reviewed and supplemented by environmental noise monitoring undertaken during September 2014 at a number of representative locations. The following summarises the environmental noise monitoring data used for this assessment.

The monitoring data showed that there is only a small change between daytime, evening and night time average (LAeq) noise levels in the city centre. The determined RBL showed that the night-time has periods of lower noise levels. However, night time average noise levels are not significantly lower than daytime average noise levels. The results also showed that the city centre is a noisy environment. Whilst road traffic generated noise contributes the most to the long-term ambient conditions, other noise sources such as human activity and air conditioning units also make a notable contribution.

2.1 Attended Noise Monitoring Attended noise monitoring surveys were undertaken to support the Sydney City Centre Bus Infrastructure REF. The monitoring locations that were relevant to this proposal’s study area are shown on Figure 2 and summarised below in Table 2.

Note 2: Attended measurements were conducted over a 10 minute period for the Sydney City Centre Bus Infrastructure.

These data were supplemented for the purpose of this proposal to ensure there was sufficient information on the study area’s existing noise environment relative to all the work sites.

The above data were completed by gathering additional short-term measurements using the equipment detailed in Table 3. The equipment was set up with microphones at 3.5 m above the ground level. This is representative of the first floor, which is the height above ground where the noise guidance limits are set in this instance as most residential receivers within the city centre would be located on first floor or above with commercial on ground floor. All microphones were fitted with wind shields.

All noise measurement instrumentation used in the surveys was designed to comply with the requirements of Australian Standard AS IEC 61672.1-2004 Electroacoustics - Sound level meters, Part 1: Specifications and carried appropriate and current National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) calibration certificates. The calibration of the loggers was checked both before and after each measurement survey and the variation in calibration at all locations was found to be within acceptable limits at all times.

The locations where additional supplementary data were collected are shown in Figure 2 and described in Table 4.

2.2 Unattended Noise Monitoring

Unattended noise monitoring data were used to describe the average (LAeq) and maximum (LA90) noise levels over a 24-hour period as well as other relevant statistical noise levels during the daytime, evening and night-time periods.

Certain unattended noise monitoring data gathered as part of the Sydney City Centre Bus Infrastructure REF are relevant to this proposal as shown in Figure 2 and described in Table 5

Representative RBL and LAeq (energy averaged) noise levels during the daytime, evening and night-time periods are shown in Table 5.

2.3 Identification of Noise and Vibration Sensitive Receivers

Noise and vibration receivers fall under one of eight categories:

Residential

Education Institutions

Childcare Centres

Commercial

Hospitals (wards or other uses including medical centres)

Places of Worship

Industrial

Other (such as cinemas, theatres, recreation areas).

It is not the building or land use that is sensitive, with the exception of structural cosmetic damage risks, but the use, occupancy and activities that take place in that location that make it sensitive. Noise and vibration management levels and goals are set for the above receivers, noting that not all receiver categories have limits set for both noise and vibration impacts. In some instances they are combined under more general categories (e.g. special use buildings).

Sensitivity is also a subjective response varying for different individuals and can depend on the existing noise and vibration environment.

For example, the Industrial Noise Policy (INP) and Australian Standard AS/NZS 2107:2000 Recommended Design Sound Levels and Reverberation Times for Building Interiors both recommend higher acceptable noise levels in urban areas compared to suburban areas as urban areas are typically more noisy and the receivers are therefore deemed less sensitive.

The assessment considered all residences (including hotels, hostels and apartments) to be sensitive to construction and operation noise and vibration impacts. The following figures (Figure 3 to Figure 13) present the identified sensitive receivers and their relative location to the proposal footprint and 17 work sites.

3 NOISE CRITERIA

3.1 Construction Noise Criteria

3.1.1 NSW Interim Construction Noise Guideline

The Interim Construction Noise Guideline (ICNG) (DECC, 2009) sets out ways to assess the impacts of construction noise on residences and other sensitive land uses. It does this by presenting assessment approaches that are tailored to the scale of construction work.



Revision 0 Page 31


A portion of the main objectives from Section 1.3 of the ICNG are presented below:

Promote a clear understanding of ways to identify and minimise noise from construction works

Focus on applying all “feasible” and “reasonable” work practices to minimise construction noise impacts

Encourage construction to be undertaken only during the recommended standard hours unless approval is given for works that cannot be undertaken during these hours

Streamline the assessment and approval stages and reduce time spent dealing with complaints at the project implementation stage

Provide flexibility in selecting site-specific feasible and reasonable work practices in order to minimise noise impacts

The ICNG contains a quantitative assessment method that is applicable to infrastructure projects. Guidance levels are given for airborne noise at residences and other sensitive land uses, including commercial and industrial premises.

The quantitative assessment method involves predicting noise levels at sensitive receivers and comparing them with the Noise Management Levels (NMLs). The various NML categories have been reproduced from the guideline and are presented in Table 17 and Table 18.

Table 17 NMLs for Airborne Construction Noise at Residences

Time of Day NML LAeq(15minute)

1,2 How to Apply

Recommended standard hours:

Monday to Friday

7 am to 6 pm

Saturday 8 am to 1 pm

No work on Sundays or public holidays

Noise affected

RBL + 10 dB

The noise affected level represents the point above which there may be some community reaction to noise.

Where the predicted or measured LAeq(15minute) is greater than the noise affected level, the proponent should apply all feasible and reasonable work practices to meet the noise affected level.

The proponent should also inform all potentially impacted residents of the nature of works to be carried out, the expected noise levels and duration, as well as contact details.

Highly noise affected

75 dBA

The highly noise affected level represents the point above which there may be strong community reaction to noise.

Where noise is above this level, the relevant authority (consent, determining or regulatory) may require respite periods by restricting the hours that the very noisy activities can occur, taking into account:

1. Times identified by the community when they are less sensitive to noise (such as before and after school for works near schools, or mid-morning or mid-afternoon for works near residences.

2. If the community is prepared to accept a longer period of construction in exchange for restrictions on construction times.



Revision 0 Page 32


Time of Day NML LAeq(15minute)

1,2 How to Apply

Outside recommended standard hours

Noise affected

RBL + 5 dB

A strong justification would typically be required for works outside the recommended standard hours.

The proponent should apply all feasible and reasonable work practices to meet the noise affected level.

Where all feasible and reasonable practices have been applied and noise is more than 5 dB above the noise affected level, the proponent should negotiate with the community.

Note 1 Noise levels apply at the property boundary that is most exposed to construction noise, and at a height of 1.5 m above ground level. If the property boundary is more than 30 m from the residence, the location for measuring or predicting noise levels is at the most noise-affected point within 30 m of the residence. Noise levels may be higher at upper floors of the noise affected residence.

Note 2 The RBL is the overall single-figure background noise level measured in each relevant assessment period (during or outside the recommended standard hours). The term RBL is described in detail in the NSW Industrial Noise Policy (EPA 2000).

The ICNG also presents NMLs for areas of other sensitive land uses. These are detailed in Table 18.

Table 18 Interim Construction Noise Guideline - Other Sensitive Land Uses

Land Use Noise Management Level LAeq(15minute) (applies when properties are being used)

Classrooms at schools and other educational facilities 45 dBA (internal)

Hospital wards and operating theatres 45 dBA (internal)

Places of worship 45 dBA (internal)

Active recreation areas1 65 dBA (external)

Passive recreation areas2 60 dBA (external)

Community Centres Depends on the intended use of the centre. Refer to the recommended “maximum” internal levels in AS2107 for specific uses and it can range from 40 – 50 dBA.

Note 1: Characterised by sporting activities and activities which generate their own noise or focus for participants, making them less sensitive to external noise intrusion.

Note 2: Characterised by contemplative activities that generate little noise and where benefits are compromised by external noise intrusion, for example, reading, meditation.

Other noise-sensitive receivers require separate proposal-specific noise goals to be set and it is suggested in the ICNG that the internal construction noise levels at these premises are to be referenced to the ‘maximum’ internal levels presented in AS 2107 Acoustics – Recommended design sound levels and reverberation times for building interiors.

Where internal NMLs are presented, the corresponding external noise level, which the assessments are based upon, has been determined on the conservative assumption that a 20 dB noise reduction from outside to inside is applicable for closed windows, which is appropriate in this location.



Revision 0 Page 33


Sleep Disturbance

The most recent guidance in relation to sleep disturbance is contained in the application notes of the INP. The pertinent section of the Application Notes states the following:

“DECCW reviewed research on sleep disturbance in the NSW Environmental Criteria for Road Traffic Noise (ECRTN) (EPA, 1999). This review concluded that the range of results is sufficiently diverse that it was not reasonable to issue new noise criteria for sleep disturbance.

From the research, DECCW recognised that current sleep disturbance criterion of an LA1, (1 minute) not exceeding the LA90, (15 minute) by more than 15 dB is not ideal. Nevertheless, as there is insufficient evidence to determine what should replace it, DECCW will continue to use it as a guide to identify the likelihood of sleep disturbance. This means that where the criterion is met, sleep disturbance is not likely, but where it is not met, a more detailed analysis is required.

The detailed analysis should cover the maximum noise level or LA1, (1 minute), that is, the extent to which the maximum noise level exceeds the background level and the number of times this happens during the night-time period. Some guidance on possible impact is contained in the review of research results in the appendices to the ECRTN. Other factors that may be important in assessing the extent of impacts on sleep include:

How often high noise events will occur.

Time of day (normally between 10pm and 7am).

Whether there are times of day when there is a clear change in the noise environment (such as during early morning shoulder periods).

The LA1, (1 minute) descriptor is meant to represent a maximum noise level measured under “fast” time response. DECCW will accept analysis based on either LA1, (1 minute) or LAmax”

For the purposes of this assessment, a night-time sleep disturbance noise goal (screening criterion) of LAmax > RBL + 15 dB has been adopted.

NMLs

The LAeq(15minute) NMLs at the identified represented residential receiver locations have been determined on the basis of attended and unattended background noise monitoring undertaken for the project area in accordance with the ICNG (refer to Section 2). The NMLs which are relevant to the proposal are detailed in Table 19.

TMP F2-1 R67, R68 72 68 65 64

Note 1: Assessment against the out of hours NMLs occurs where works fall outside the recommended standard hours. For the recommended standard hours refer to Table 17.

Generally the difference between the LAmax and the LAeq(15minute) is approximately 8 dB for construction noise sources. The night-time NML is equal to the RBL + 5 measured as LAeq(15minute) and the sleep disturbance criterion is the RBL + 15 measured as LAmax. This means that if the night-time NML is achieved, the night-time sleep disturbance would normally also be achieved with a 2 dB margin.

Commercial and Industrial Premise

For commercial premises, including offices, retail outlets and small commercial premises an external NML of LAeq(15minute) 70 dB has been adopted. An external NML of LAeq(15minute) 75 dB has been adopted for industrial premises. In both land uses, the external noise levels should be assessed at the most affected occupied point on the premises.

3.2 Construction Vibration Criteria

3.2.1 Vibration Damage Goals

Australian Standard AS 2187: Part 2-2006 Explosives - Storage and Use - Part 2: Use of Explosives recommends the frequency dependent vibration guideline values and assessment methods given in British Standard BS 7385 Part 2-1993 Evaluation and measurement for vibration in buildings Part 2 as they ‘are applicable to Australian conditions’.

The standard sets values for vibration based on the lowest vibration levels above which damage has been credibly demonstrated. These levels are judged to give a minimum risk of vibration-induced damage, where minimal risk is usually taken as a 95% probability of no effect.

The recommended guideline limits for transient vibration, in order to minimise the risk of cosmetic damage to residential and industrial buildings are presented in Table 20 and graphically in Figure 14.



Revision 0 Page 35


Table 20 Transient Vibration Guide Values – Minimal Risk of Cosmetic Damage

Line Type of Building Peak Component Particle Velocity in Frequency Range of Predominant Pulse

4 Hz to 15 Hz1

15 Hz and Above

1 Reinforced or framed structures. Industrial and heavy commercial buildings

50 mm/s2 at 4 Hz and above

2 Unreinforced or light framed structures. Residential or light commercial type buildings

15 mm/s at 4 Hz increasing to 20 mm/s at 15 Hz

20 mm/s at 15 Hz increasing to 50 mm/s at 40 Hz and above

Note 1: Hertz (Hz)

Note 2: Millimetres per second (mm/s)

The guide values in Table 20 relate mainly to transient vibration which does not give rise to resonant responses in structures and low-rise buildings. In the event continuous vibration gives rise to magnification of vibration by resonance (specific conditions where the structure can readily store and transfer vibration energy), then the guide values in Table 20 may need to be reduced by up to 50% (Figure 14).

High intensity activities such as breaking, hammering and piling are considered to have the potential to cause dynamic loading in some structures and it may therefore be appropriate to reduce the transient values by 50 % for these construction activities.

Figure 14 Transient Vibration Guide Values for Cosmetic Damage

For most sources of intermittent vibration during construction, such as vibratory rollers and excavators, the predominant vibration energy occurs at frequencies usually in the 10 Hz to 100 Hz range. On this basis a vibration damage screening level of 7.5 mm/s has been adopted for the purpose of assessing potential impacts.



Revision 0 Page 36


In the lower frequency region below 4 Hz the guide values for building types are reduced as a high displacement is associated with relatively low peak component particle velocity. To minimise risk of structural damage a guide value of 3.7 mm/s has been adopted.

It is noteworthy that further to the guide values the Standard advises that:

‘A building of historical value should not (unless it’s structurally unsound) be assumed to be more sensitive.’

For this reason, vibration impacts on heritage listed buildings have been considered the same way as all other buildings.

3.2.2 Human Comfort Goals for Construction Vibration

For most construction activities that generate perceptible vibration in nearby buildings, the character of the vibration emissions is intermittent. The Assessing Vibration: a technical guideline (DEC, 2009) nominates preferred and maximum vibration goals for critical areas, residences and other sensitive receptors as shown in Table 21. The guideline advises a low probability of adverse comment or disturbance to building occupants would be expected at or below the preferred values.

The applicable human comfort vibration goal for intermittent vibration source is defined in terms of Vibration Dose Values (VDVs) where the permissible vibration level corresponding to the VDV varies according to the duration of exposure.

Table 21 Preferred and Maximum VDVs for Intermittent Vibration

Building Type Preferred VDV(m/s1.75

) Maximum VDV(m/s1.75

)

Critical Working Areas (e.g. hospital operating theatres, precision laboratories)

0.10 0.20

Residential Daytime 0.20 0.40

Residential Night-time 0.13 0.26

Offices, schools, educational institutions and places of worship

0.40 0.80

Workshops 0.80 1.60

Note: Daytime is 7:00 am to 10:00 pm and night-time is 10:00 pm to 7:00 am

In applying the preferred and maximum VDV the guidelines states that:

‘Situations exist where vibration above the preferred values can be acceptable, particularly for temporary disturbances and infrequent events of short term duration. An example is a construction or excavation project.’

The guideline also advises that:

‘Where all feasible and reasonable measures have been applied to control potential ground vibration levels the maximum values may be used. For values above the maximum value the proponent should negotiate directly with the affected community.’

3.2.3 Safe Working Distances for Vibration Intensive Plant

The propagation of vibration emitted from a source would be site specific with the level of vibration potentially experienced at a receptor dependent upon the vibration energy generated by the source, the predominant frequencies of vibration, the localised geotechnical conditions and the interaction of structures and features which can dampen vibration.



Revision 0 Page 37


The recommended safe working distances for construction plant in Table 22 are referenced from the Transport for NSW Construction Noise Strategy.

Consistent with the British Standard and the Assessing Vibration guideline, the recommendations are for the practical management of potential vibration to minimise the likelihood of cosmetic damage to buildings and disturbance or annoyance in humans. The human comfort safe working distances are conservative, developed with reference to the more stringent objectives for continuous vibration for typical residential building constructions.

Note 3: Kilo newton (kN)

Note 4: meters (m)

3.3 Operational Noise Criteria

Where a development has the potential to result in an increase in road traffic noise levels, the impacts on sensitive receptors are assessed under the NSW Road Noise Policy (RNP) (Roads and Maritime, 2011). The RNP includes a range of noise criteria for different development scenarios. However, the RNP also includes recommendations with regards to allowable change in noise levels and states the following:

“For existing residences and other sensitive land uses affected by additional traffic on existing roads generated by land use developments, any increase in the total traffic noise level should be limited to 2 dB above that of the corresponding ‘no build option’.”

Practice Note 1 of RMS’ Environmental Noise Management Manual states that if safety works do not fall within either the “new road” category or “redeveloped road” category, the works are not subject to noise level targets and no criteria applies. However if the noise level during the day or the night is predicted to increase by more than 2 dB(A) Leq and the predicted noise level is higher than the guidelines for existing roads, noise treatments should be provided where feasible and reasonable.

On this basis, it is considered appropriate to set an assessment criteria based on a 2 dB change in noise level when comparing the situation in the future without the proposal (‘do nothing’) with the changes implemented under the proposal (‘do something’).

4 CONSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT

Construction is anticipated to start in the first half of 2015 and it would take up to one year to complete due to the complexities of programming the works to avoid impacting on the city’s traffic. For the construction noise assessment, worst case noise levels that would occur when the noisiest construction activities are undertaken at the nearest point to identified receptors have been predicted.

4.1 Construction hours

The ICNG describes recommended standard hours for construction works (NSW Environment Protection Authority (NSW EPA), 2009):

7.00 am – 6.00 pm: Monday to Friday

8.00 am – 1.00 pm: Saturday

In order to minimise impacts on some of Sydney’s busiest roads the majority of the construction works would need to take place outside of the above recommended hours (termed ‘out of hours’ working). This would include working at night and over the weekend. This would achieve the most efficient and shortest construction program. The extent, duration and construction timing would be confirmed and finalised by the construction contractor as part of the construction staging.

4.2 Construction Works and Equipment

The proposed construction activities and locations are detailed in Chapter 3 of the REF. This section gives a short summary of the construction works and estimated sound power levels (SWLs).

The proposal involves the following efficiency improvements:






Lane arrangements

It also includes a range of other supporting work

A mix of construction activities would be required to construct the above traffic efficiency improvements as described in Table 3-10 of the REF. The proposed plant and equipment needed to undertake these activities are described in Table 3-11 of the REF. Attachment B describes in more detail the combination of equipment most likely used for each activity and their corresponding SWL.

Table 23 shows the estimated worst case SWL for each construction activity and details the noisiest plant and equipment that would likely cause the worst case noise emissions.

It should be noted that during times when the noisiest plant and equipment are not operating the noise emissions would be significantly lower. For several of the proposed activities the worst case noise emissions would only occur during a short time period compared to the overall construction period.

4.3 Construction Noise Predictions

Each work site would have different traffic efficiency improvements installed (refer to Table 3-3 to Table 3-7 of the REF). Consequently, each work site would have a different construction program, construction staging, construction timing and require different combinations of equipment.

This section presents predictions and assessment of noise emissions for each work site. The noise predictions are based on the estimated shortest distances between each construction activity and each identified receiver.

The noise predictions do not include shielding by buildings or terrain. With most work sites surrounded by multi-storey high-rise buildings, receivers on adjacent streets with no line of sight to the work site are not expected to be impacted by construction noise.

For receivers at relatively short distances from construction works, meteorological conditions would not significantly affect the noise levels and as such these have not been included in the noise predictions.

4.3.1 Precinct 1: North-West

NW1: Kent Street

Work site NW1 is along Kent Street between Margaret Street and King Street. Proposed construction works are required to provide two northbound traffic lanes at Erskine Street by limiting southbound traffic to a single lane and implementing a ‘no left turn’ restriction at Erskine Street for southbound vehicles.

The proposed construction activities and predicted noise levels at nearby identified receivers for work site NW1 are presented in Table 24.

Predicted worst case noise levels exceed the daytime NMLs by up to 17 dB for commercial receivers and up to 10 dB for residential receiver. Night-time NMLs are exceeded by up to 21 dB for residential receivers.

The total construction period for work site NW1 is estimated to be short-term of less than three weeks. There are some exceedances of the daytime NMLs for receivers within approximately 50 m of the noisiest working plant and the night-time NMLs for receivers within approximately 150 m. Noise management measures as outlined in Section 7 should be considered.

NW2: King Street

Work site NW2 is along King Street between Sussex Street and Castlereagh Street. Proposed construction works are required to alter the existing kerbside allocations and alter the lane configurations to improve traffic flow from the Western Distributor off-ramp eastbound to Castlereagh Street.

The proposed construction activities and predicted noise levels at nearby identified receivers for work site NW2 are presented in Table 25.


The predicted worst case noise levels exceed the NMLs for receivers within approximately 50 m during the daytime and within approximately 120 m during the night-time. It should be noted that even though the total construction period would be more than three weeks, the noisiest plant and equipment would typically only be operating in the order of a few days, with significantly lower noise levels during other periods. The kerbside alterations proposed adjacent to R8 (The Grace Hotel - 7 York Street) are minor and although the worst case maximum noise levels are high the potential impacts are only short term in duration. Noise management measures as outlined in Section 7 should be considered.

R1: Park Street

Work site R1 is along Park Street at the Pitt Street intersection. Proposed construction works are required to modify the Sydney City Centre Bus Plan Infrastructure designations to provide a short dedicated right-turn lane in Park Street (westbound) at Pitt Street. This would be achieved by shortening the proposed bus lane in Park Street (westbound) to allow this dedicated right-turn lane to be installed.

The proposed construction activities and predicted noise levels at nearby identified receivers for work site R1 are presented in Table 26.

Predicted worst case noise levels exceed the daytime NMLs by up to 21 dB for commercial receivers. For residential receivers only a marginal 2 dB exceedance of the night-time NML is predicted.

The nearest residential receiver is approximately 100 m from any work and only minor exceedances of the night-time NML are predicted. It should be noted that even though the total construction period would be more than three weeks, the noisiest plant and equipment would typically only be operating in the order of a few days, with significantly lower noise levels during other periods. Noise management measures as outlined in Section 7 should be considered for commercial receivers.

S6: Pitt Street

Work site S6 is along Pitt Street, George Street, Lee Street, Quay Street intersection. Proposed construction works are required to modify lane arrangements to set priorities between Pitt Street, George Street and Quay Street.



The total construction period for work site S6 is estimated to be short-term (i.e. less than three weeks). There are some exceedances of the daytime NMLs for receivers within approximately 30 m of the noisiest working plant and the night-time NMLs for receivers within approximately 120 m. Noise management measures as outlined in Section 7 should be considered.

4.3.4 Precinct 4: College


Work site C1 is along Wentworth Avenue between Oxford Street and Campbell Street. Proposed construction works are required to maximise the use of the 21-metre wide carriageway to provide an additional eastbound and westbound lane over much of the length of the corridor whilst improving the turning movements at both Goulburn Street and Oxford Street.

The proposed construction activities and predicted noise levels at nearby identified receivers for work site C1 are presented in Table 37.

C2: College Street

Work site C2 is along College Street between Macquarie Street and Oxford Street. Proposed construction works are required to create additional lengths for left and right turns on both of the approaches to Park Street. The works would also modify the road geometry at the northern end of College Street and on Prince Albert Road to introduce capacity for the traffic approaching Macquarie Street. Construction works to modify the lane arrangements between Macquarie Street and College Street to introduce northbound capacity are also proposed.

The proposed construction activities and predicted noise levels at nearby identified receivers for work site C2 are presented in Table 38.


There are predicted exceedances of the NMLs at both commercial and residential receivers for this work site. It should be noted that even though the total construction period would be more than three weeks, the noisiest plant and equipment would typically only be operating in the order of a few days, with significantly lower noise levels during other periods. Noise management measures as outlined in Section 7 should be considered.

4.3.5 Precinct 5: Financial


Work site F1 is along Macquarie Street between Bent Street and Bridge Street. Proposed construction works are required to introduce northbound capacity in the morning and evening peak periods on the approach to Bridge Street.

The proposed construction activities and predicted noise levels at nearby identified receivers for work site F1 are presented in Table 39.

Predicted worst case noise levels exceed the daytime NMLs by up to 13 dB for commercial receivers. For residential receivers only a marginal 1 dB exceedance of the night-time NML is predicted.

There are predicted exceedances of the NMLs at both commercial and residential receivers for this work site. It should be noted that even though the total construction period would be more than three weeks, the noisiest plant and equipment would typically only be operating in the order of a few days, with significantly lower noise levels during other periods. Noise management measures as outlined in Section 7 should be considered.

Work site F2 is along Macquarie Street at the Hunter Street intersection. Proposed construction works are required to remove the right turn bay on Macquarie Street on the approach to Hunter Street in order to increase right turn capacity for motorists accessing Shakespeare Place and the Eastern Distributor.

The proposed construction activities and predicted noise levels at nearby identified receivers for work site F2 are presented in Table 40.


The total construction period for work site F2 is estimated to be short-term (i.e. less than three weeks). Even though there are some exceedances of the daytime NMLs for receivers within approximately 55 m of the noisiest working plant and the night-time NMLs for receivers within approximately 140 m, no notable noise impacts are anticipated due to the short-term nature of the works.

4.4 Construction Sleep Disturbance Assessment

The predictions shows major exceedances of up to 29 dB above the night-time NMLs and 27 dB above the ICNG sleep disturbance trigger level. This may cause sleep disturbance at several residential receivers throughout most of the work sites, with the exception of R1: Park Street and F1: Macquarie Street which have only marginal exceedance of the night-time NMLs.

It is therefore recommended that the noisiest construction activities, which are only required for a short period of the overall construction timeframe (such as operations of vibratory rollers, jackhammers, concrete saws, angle grinders, compactors, profilers and road planers) should not be undertaken at night. Removing these noisy activities from night works, would reduce the night-time noise levels by approximately 10 dB. Furthermore, avoiding night-time works in close proximity of residential buildings would typically further reduce the noise levels by another 10 dB. With these management measures any potential sleep disturbance impacts would be minimised.

These and further noise management measures are outlined in Section 7.

4.5 Discussion of Construction Noise Impacts

For most work sites in the city centre, screening by adjacent buildings would limit noise from traveling any significant distance except along the road where work is being undertaken. Therefore, no notable noise impacts are anticipated for receivers in adjacent street blocks. There are predicted exceedances of the “noise affected” and “highly noise affected” NMLs in all work sites. There are also predicted exceedances of other sensitive land uses across the study area.

Of the 17 work sites, the following six would only require short-term works of less than three weeks:

NW1: Kent Street

R3: Sussex Street

S1: Sussex Street, S4: Ultimo Road, S6: Pitt Street

F2: Macquarie Street.

At the following 11 work sites, the overall construction period is more than three weeks and there are predicted exceedances of the NMLs for both commercial and residential receivers:

NW2: King Street

R1: Park Street, R2: Market Street, R4: Clarence Street, R5: York Street



Revision 0 Page 56


S2: Goulburn Street, S3: Pitt Street, S5: Broadway

C1:Wentworth Avenue, C2: College Street

F1: Macquarie Street.

Even though the total construction period would be more than three weeks at these work sites, the noisiest plant and equipment that would cause the exceedances of the NMLs, would typically only be operating intermittently and only for a few days, with significantly lower noise levels during other periods.

In summary the impact assessment shows that:

The greatest impacts would occur at night, with potential sleep disturbance if the noisiest activities are not avoided. The predictions shows exceedances of up to 29 dB above the night-time NMLs and 27 dB above the ICNG sleep disturbance trigger level.

Depending on the work site, there would be non-compliance with the NMLs for distances of up to 90-190 m from the noisiest plant at night.

Depending on the work site, there would be non-compliance with the NMLs for distances of up to 25-50 m from the noisiest plant during the day.

The highest maximum noise emissions are generated for work sites requiring kerb alterations, there are however only short sections of kerb alterations at any work site with only potential for relatively short term impacts.

The highest potential noise impacts are predicted in precinct 2: retail along Clarence Street: R4, York Street: R5 and Market Street: R2.

Noise management measures as outlined in Section 7 should be considered to minimise any potential noise impacts during the construction stages.

4.6 Construction Vibration Assessment

For the construction vibration assessment, the estimated shortest distance to vibration intensive plant for each work site was assessed against the recommended safe working distances in Table 22.

The recommended safe working distances in Table 22 are indicative only and would vary depending on the particular item of plant, geology and building structure. It should be noted that most of the buildings adjacent to the work sites will be reinforced. These buildings are less sensitive to vibration than typical residential buildings. The safe working distances in Table 22, as taken from the Transport for NSW Construction Noise Strategy, may therefore be overly conservative for most of the work sites. It should also be noted that some receivers such as facilities with highly vibration sensitive equipment may be more sensitive.

For the proposed works, only those activities requiring vibratory roller or jackhammering would generate ground-borne vibration with the potential to cause any impacts.

The proposed works have been analysed based on best estimates of the minimum distances between nearest receivers and the equipment to be used that is most likely to be vibration intensive, as shown in Table 41. This allows for a comparison to the safe working distances listed in Table 22 when determining the likely vibration impacts of the construction activities.

Revision 0 Page 58


For all locations where the safe working distances for cosmetic damage are likely to be exceeded, a vibration criterion based on the type of building structure should be determined. This is likely to result in increased safe working distances. Vibration monitoring would be undertaken during the vibration intensive works to ensure compliance. At some locations a smaller size vibratory roller may be required.

5 OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT

5.1 Summary of Road Traffic Noise Impacts

The operational noise assessment was based on traffic modelling (refer section 6.1 and appendix B of the REF), which provided predicted future traffic volumes for the following two scenarios:

A do-nothing scenario reporting the change in operational noise due to the existing noise plus the future development of other committed projects in the city centre excluding the proposal.

A do-something scenario reporting the change in operational noise due to the existing noise plus the future development of other committed projects in the city centre including the proposal.

The operational noise assessment was undertaken based on the predicted traffic efficiency improvements provided by the proposal. It should be noted that this provides the maximum possible increase in traffic volumes, whereas the actual increase in traffic volumes may be less (i.e. the approach was conservative).

It was also assumed that traffic speeds would not change due to the proposal.

In some locations the proposal would increase the number of lanes from two to three, which means that some of the traffic for these road sections would be closer to the receivers. Due to the reverberant noise build-up, caused by multiple reflections between buildings in these road sections, the noise level would not decrease proportionally to the change in distance. Predictions were undertaken for typical scenarios of introducing a new lane on these inner city roads. The increased noise level due to shifting part of the traffic closer to the receivers was approximately 1 dB.

For the road sections where a new lane would be introduced, there would be a change in road traffic noise level due to a change in traffic volumes as well as a change in lane arrangement. For these road sections, an additional 1 dB has, therefore, been added to the predicted change in road traffic noise level due to the change in traffic volume.

Attachment C details the predicted change in road traffic noise levels across the proposal. The results indicate that the predicted change in road traffic noise within the city centre would be negligible and imperceptible to most people. Table 42 below summarises the predicted noise level increase at each work site.

C2: College Street 0.6 to 1.6 0.6 to 1.6


F1: Macquarie Street 0.2 0.2

F2: Macquarie Street 0 0

Results detailed above in Table 42 show that the proposal would not significantly increase the road traffic noise exposure. The average increase is 1 dB for both the day and night periods. Given that the predicted increase in traffic noise would be less than 2 dBA, the project is not subject to noise level targets under the RNP.

However, one road section within work site C1 (Wentworth Avenue) shows a marginal predicted exceedance of the incremental noise criteria for the night-time period. It should be noted that the predictions are conservative in the sense that the traffic volumes are based on proposed efficiency improvements rather than actual increases in traffic. It is also noted that for this section of road there are no identified adjacent residential receivers. The only potentially impacted receiver adjacent would be the Australian Museum, which does not operate during the night-time period. It is therefore considered unlikely that the increase in road traffic noise for this road section would cause any notable noise impacts.

5.2 Operational Vibration Assessment

Given the existing road traffic in the proposal area and the marginal changes to lane configurations and traffic volumes, no operational vibration impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposal.

6 CUMULATIVE

There is the potential for cumulative noise impacts. They would occur as a result of:

Receivers that would be impacted during construction from multiple work sites activities

Additive proposal-wide impacts across the entire proposal footprint during construction

The combined impacts from the construction of this proposal and the construction of other projects

Receivers that have frontages along more than one street where traffic efficiency improvements are proposed



Revision 0 Page 60


The combined impacts from the operation of this proposal and the construction or operation of other projects.

This could result in some receivers potentially exposed to construction noise for longer periods or that are exposed to high-intensity noise and vibration impacts than assessed in this report. The maximum noise and vibration levels would however not increase due to simultaneous construction works. This is because the maximum noise levels are generated when the noisiest construction activities (such as concrete sawing and jackhammering) are undertaken in close proximity to receivers and this would not happen simultaneously for multiple work sites.

Section 6-15 of the REF describes the cumulative noise effects on the city centre in more detail.

7 RECOMMENDED MITIGATION MEASURES

In all instances, construction works would be carried out in accordance with a Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan (CNVMP). The noise management measures within the CNVMP would be developed in accordance with the ICNG and Sections 5 and 9 of the Environmental Noise Management Manual (ENMM) (Roads and Maritime, 2011).

A key measure for the construction works would be the requirement for the contractor to notify the local community prior to starting any works onsite.

7.1 Construction Noise Mitigation Measures

Based on the assessment of construction noise impacts in this report, a range of noise mitigation measures have been recommended, where feasible and reasonable, to reduce and minimise potential construction noise impacts. The reasonableness of the identified feasible mitigation measures would be considered during the construction planning and site establishment phases of the proposal, and in the development of the CNVMP. In general, mitigation measures that should be considered are summarised in Table 44.

Table 44 Noise and vibration safeguards and management measures

Impact Environmental safeguard Responsibility Timing

The potential for exceedance of the NMLs across the proposal footprint

Prepare a construction noise and vibration management plan (CNVMP) in accordance with Section 5 and 9 of the ENMM (Roads and Maritime, 2001). It would be a sub-plan of the CEMP.

As a minimum, the plan would:

Map the sensitive receiver locations including residential properties

Include safeguards and management measures to manage out of hours working

Include a assessment to determine potential risk for activities likely to affect receivers, including for activities undertaken during and outside of standard working hours

Include a process for assessing the performance of the implemented safeguards and management measures

Specify the equipment restrictions that would be implemented at night

Describe the respite periods that would be implemented

ACOUSTIC TERMINOLOGY


1 Sound Level or Noise Level

The terms ‘sound’ and ‘noise’ are almost interchangeable, except that in common usage ‘noise’ is often used to refer to unwanted sound.

Sound (or noise) consists of minute fluctuations in atmospheric pressure capable of evoking the sense of hearing. The human ear responds to changes in sound pressure over a very wide range. The loudest sound pressure to which the human ear responds is ten million times greater than the softest. The decibel (abbreviated as dB) scale reduces this ratio to a more manageable size by the use of logarithms.

The symbols SPL, L or LP are commonly used to represent Sound Pressure Level. The symbol LA represents A-weighted Sound Pressure Level. The standard reference unit for Sound Pressure Levels expressed in decibels is 2 x 10

-5 Pa.

2 ‘A’ Weighted Sound Pressure Level

The overall level of a sound is usually expressed in terms of dBA, which is measured using a sound level meter with an ‘A-weighting’ filter. This is an electronic filter having a frequency response corresponding approximately to that of human hearing.

People’s hearing is most sensitive to sounds at mid frequencies (500 Hz to 4000 Hz), and less sensitive at lower and higher frequencies. Thus, the level of a sound in dBA is a good measure of the loudness of that sound. Different sources having the same dBA level generally sound about equally loud.

A change of 1 dBA or 2 dBA in the level of a sound is difficult for most people to detect, whilst a 3 dBA to 5 dBA change corresponds to a small but noticeable change in loudness. A 10 dBA change corresponds to an approximate doubling or halving in loudness. The table below lists examples of typical noise levels

Sound Pressure Level (dBA)

Typical Source

Subjective Evaluation

130 Threshold of pain Intolerable

120 Heavy rock concert Extremely noisy

110 Grinding on steel

100 Loud car horn at 3 m Very noisy

90 Construction site with pneumatic hammering

80 Kerbside of busy street Loud

70 Loud radio or television

60 Department store Moderate to quiet

50 General Office

40 Inside private office Quiet to very quiet

30 Inside bedroom

20 Recording studio Almost silent

Other weightings (eg B, C and D) are less commonly used than A-weighting. Sound Levels measured without any weighting are referred to as ‘linear’, and the units are expressed as dB(lin) or dB.

3 Sound Power Level

The Sound Power of a source is the rate at which it emits acoustic energy. As with Sound Pressure Levels, Sound Power Levels are expressed in decibel units (dB or dBA), but may be identified by the symbols SWL or LW, or by the reference unit 10

-12 W.

The relationship between Sound Power and Sound Pressure may be likened to an electric radiator, which is characterised by a power rating, but has an effect on the surrounding environment that can be measured in terms of a different parameter, temperature.

4 Statistical Noise Levels

Sounds that vary in level over time, such as road traffic noise and most community noise, are commonly described in terms of the statistical exceedance levels LAN, where LAN is the A-weighted sound pressure level exceeded for N% of a given measurement period. For example, the LA1 is the noise level exceeded for 1% of the time, LA10 the noise exceeded for 10% of the time, and so on.

The following figure presents a hypothetical 15 minute noise survey, illustrating various common statistical indices of interest.

Of particular relevance, are:

LA1 The noise level exceeded for 1% of the 15 minute interval.

LA10 The noise level exceed for 10% of the 15 minute interval. This is commonly referred to as the average maximum noise level.

LA90 The noise level exceeded for 90% of the sample period. This noise level is described as the average minimum background sound level (in the absence of the source under consideration), or simply the background level.

LAeq The A-weighted equivalent noise level (basically the average noise level). It is defined as the steady sound level that contains the same amount of acoustical energy as the corresponding time-varying sound.

When dealing with numerous days of statistical noise data, it is sometimes necessary to define the typical noise levels at a given

monitoring location for a particular time of day. A standardised

method is available for determining these representative levels.

This method produces a level representing the ‘repeatable minimum’ LA90 noise level over the daytime and night-time measurement periods, as required by the EPA. In addition the method produces mean or ‘average’ levels representative of the other descriptors (LAeq, LA10, etc).

5 Tonality

Tonal noise contains one or more prominent tones (ie distinct frequency components), and is normally regarded as more offensive than ‘broad band’ noise.

6 Impulsiveness

An impulsive noise is characterised by one or more short sharp peaks in the time domain, such as occurs during hammering.

7 Frequency Analysis

Frequency analysis is the process used to examine the tones (or frequency components) which make up the overall noise or vibration signal. This analysis was traditionally carried out using analogue electronic filters, but is now normally carried out using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysers.

The units for frequency are Hertz (Hz), which represent the number of cycles per second.

Frequency analysis can be in:

Octave bands (where the centre frequency and width of each band is double the previous band)

1/3 octave bands (3 bands in each octave band)

Narrow band (where the spectrum is divided into 400 or more bands of equal width)

The following figure shows a 1/3 octave band frequency analysis where the noise is dominated by the 200 Hz band. Note that the indicated level of each individual band is less than the overall level, which is the logarithmic sum of the bands.

8 Vibration

Vibration may be defined as cyclic or transient motion. This motion can be measured in terms of its displacement, velocity or acceleration. Most assessments of human response to vibration or the risk of damage to buildings use measurements of vibration velocity. These may be expressed in terms of ‘peak’ velocity or ‘rms’ velocity.

The former is the maximum instantaneous velocity, without any averaging, and is sometimes referred to as ‘peak particle velocity’, or PPV. The latter incorporates ‘root mean squared’ averaging over some defined time period.

Vibration measurements may be carried out in a single axis or alternatively as triaxial measurements. Where triaxial measurements are used, the axes are commonly designated vertical, longitudinal (aligned toward the source) and transverse.

The common units for velocity are millimetres per second (mm/s). As with noise, decibel units can also be used, in which case the reference level should always be stated. A vibration level V, expressed in mm/s can be converted to decibels by the formula 20 log (V/Vo), where Vo is the reference level (10

-9 m/s).

Care is required in this regard, as other reference levels may be used by some organizations.

9 Human Perception of Vibration

People are able to ‘feel’ vibration at levels lower than those required to cause even superficial damage to the most susceptible classes of building (even though they may not be disturbed by the motion). An individual's perception of motion or response to vibration depends very strongly on previous experience and expectations, and on other connotations associated with the perceived source of the vibration. For example, the vibration that a person responds to as ‘normal’ in a car, bus or train is considerably higher than what is perceived as ‘normal’ in a shop, office or dwelling.

10 Over-Pressure

The term ‘over-pressure’ is used to describe the air pressure pulse emitted during blasting or similar events. The peak level of an event is normally measured using a microphone in the same manner as linear noise (ie unweighted), at frequencies both in and below the audible range.

11 Ground-borne Noise, Structure-borne Noise and Regenerated Noise

Noise that propagates through a structure as vibration and is radiated by vibrating wall and floor surfaces is termed ‘structure-borne noise’, ‘ground-borne noise’ or ‘regenerated noise’. This noise originates as vibration and propagates between the source and receiver through the ground and/or building structural elements, rather than through the air.

Typical sources of ground-borne or structure-borne noise include tunnelling works, underground railways, excavation plant (eg rockbreakers), and building services plant (eg fans, compressors and generators).

The following figure presents the various paths by which vibration and ground-borne noise may be transmitted between a source and receiver for construction activities occurring within a tunnel.

The term ‘regenerated noise’ is also used in other instances where energy is converted to noise away from the primary source. One example would be a fan blowing air through a discharge grill. The fan is the energy source and primary noise source. Additional noise may be created by the aerodynamic effect of the discharge grill in the airstream. This secondary noise is referred to as regenerated noise

1.1 BackgroundGML Heritage Pty Ltd (GML) has been engaged by Parsons Brinckerhoff on behalf of Roads and MaritimeServices (RMS) to prepare a Non-Aboriginal Heritage Technical Report for the Sydney City CentreCapacity Improvement Plan project. This report forms an Appendix to the Review of Environmental Factors(REF) for the project being prepared by Parsons Brinkerhoff.

The project comprises the installation of a number of traffic capacity improvements within the Sydney citycentre and

traffic volumes or will provide an essential function in enablingAccess Strategy (Transport for NSW

2013). Enabled projects will include: the CBD to South East Light Rail project, the Sydney City Centre BusInfrastructure project and the Sydney City Centre Cycleways projects.

This report has been prepared to provide heritage impact advice for the project and is based on aphysical assessment and desktop review of the study area, its statutory context and the various

, prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff.

1.2 Study areaThe study area includes all roads and buildings subject to or immediately adjacent to the worksproposed within the five precincts across the Sydney City Centre:

Precinct 1: North-west (NW);

Precinct 2: Retail (R);

Precinct 3: Southern (S);

Precinct 4: College (C); and

Precinct 5: Financial (F).

Each Precinct contains one or more of the 17 worksites that start and end at major road intersections(Figures 1.1 to 1.17). Each intersection, and road between each intersection, has also been given aletter reference that has been adopted throughout this report and the REF.

1.3 MethodologyThe following tasks have been completed in preparation of this report:

1.3.1 Desktop Research

Relevant heritage registers were searched in August 2014 to identify heritage items within and in thevicinity of the work sites. These registers comprised:

Statutory heritage lists including the:

UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL);

National Heritage List (NHL);

Commonwealth Heritage List (CHL);

State Heritage Register (SHR);

Schedule 5 of the City of Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 (LEP);

State Heritage Inventory (SHI); and

Section 170 Heritage and Conservation Registers.

Non-statutory lists including the:

National Trust of Australia Register;

Australian Institute of Architects Register of Significant Architecture in NSW (AIA);

the Register of the National Estate (RNE) database; and

City of Sydney Archaeological Zoning Plan 1992.

Statements of Significance for existing heritage items within and in the vicinity of the proposed workssite were reviewed (where they were available).

Relevant historical maps, plans and aerial photographs were also reviewed to identify any formerstructures, roads or landscape features, within or in the vicinity of the worksite, in order to establish apreliminary understanding of archaeological potential.

Relevant background reports were reviewed including:

by SKM in May 2014; and

.

1.3.2 Fieldwork

Inspections were undertaken by GML in September 2014 to review the results of desktop research, toconfirm the condition and significance of existing fabric and elements proposed for removal, and toprovide context for listed heritage items and areas of archaeological potential.

1.4 LimitationsThis report is a technical paper and a detailed Heritage Impact Assessment.

The historical archaeological potential of each worksite has been informed by a preliminary review ofreadily available documentation such as historical maps and aerial photographs of areas that would bedirectly affected by the proposed works, relevant heritage registers and heritage reports, as well as asite inspection. The assessment of archaeological potential and its significance is an overview only,and may be subject to revision following preparation of a more detailed historical assessment of theproposal, as part of the next stage of the project.

1.5 Author IdentificationThis report was prepared by Nina Pollock, Consultant. Archaeological assessment and input has beenprovided by Anita Yousif, Senior Associate. Assistance in finalising the report was provided by JulianSiu, Consultant. Review and input was provided by Peter Romey and David Logan, Partners of GMLHeritage. Historical research was undertaken by Michelle Richmond, Senior Consultant and Historian.

2.1 Historical OutlineThe following historical outline has been extracted from the Sydney City Centre Access Strategy BusInfrastructure HIA prepared by SKM in May 2014:

2.2 Heritage ContextA number of heritage items are located within or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed worksites.They comprise:

two World Heritage sites (expressly, some work is located within the buffer zone of the SydneyOpera House and Hyde Park Barracks (part of the Australian Convict Sites inscription));

one nationally listed item (Hyde Park Barracks);

22 State listed items; and

54 locally listed items.

Table 6.1 identifies the heritage items and heritage conservation areas with the potential to be directlyaffected by the proposed works, either through direct physical impacts to significant fabric or elements,or impacts on their visual setting. Certain heritage items are within close proximity to two or more worksites. As such, they are listed separately for each occurrence:

3.0

3.1 Approach to Heritage Impact AdviceThe potential for heritage impacts has been assessed across the study area by considering the builtheritage impacts and the archaeological impacts.

The following approach has been employed in assessing built heritage impacts:

identification of heritage items that could potentially be impacted by the proposed work;

identification of their level of significance;

a description of proposed works in the area around the heritage item; and

an overview assessment of the heritage impact.

The following approach has been employed in assessing archaeological impacts:

an indication of the type of archaeological resource that is potentially present in the areas ofdirect impacts;

the level of survival of the potential archaeological resource;

the significance of the potential archaeological resource;

a description of proposed works in the area where the archaeological remains are potentiallypresent; and

an overview assessment of archaeological impact.

3.2 AssumptionsIt is assumed that any work, including any drainage works, adjustments and modifications would notphysically alter heritage-listed buildings.

It is assumed that requirements for additional signage will, where possible, replace existing rather thanadd to existing, and seek to reduce visual clutter (combine and/or collocate), particularly in the views toheritage buildings.

It is also assumed that regrading work would only extend to 50 millimetres (mm) below the surface.The depth to excavation is not currently known and would be confirmed during the detailed design.The maximum excavation depth would occur for utility adjustments, drainage modifications, light-postrelocation and traffic signal relocation. This could be down to three metres below ground; however, thiswould be an exceptional worst case scenario, with proposed construction works typically extending toone to one-and-a-half metres below ground.

3.3 Built Heritage Impact AssessmentThis section of the summary report comprises identification of the existing listed heritage items within or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed work site;and provides an assessment of the potential impact on the heritage significance of these items. The items identified include heritage-listed buildings,structures, parks and trees. Statements of Significance are included in the individual citations for each heritage item sourced from the State HeritageInventory (SHI), the State Heritage Register (SHR) or the World Heritage List (WHL). No reassessment of significance has been undertaken.

The proposed works are extracted from the REF. The impact assessment identifies the specific heritage items with the potential to be affected by theproposed works, either through direct physical impacts to significant fabric or elements, or impacts on their visual setting.

3.4 Archaeological Impact AssessmentThe scoping and evaluation of the known and potential historical archaeological resource that may be impacted by the proposed works is based on considerationof the readily available information obtained from historic maps, plans and aerials, the central Sydney Archaeological Zoning Plan 1992, heritage registers andrelevant historical archaeological documentation (ie assessments and excavation reports).

This overview assessment does not provide a detailed review of all potential archaeological resources across the areas of impact, but rather a summary of theknown and potential archaeological resource (inferred from the above sources) that may be subjected to the development impacts of the proposal. As a guidelinerelevant for the table below grading of archaeological potential is commonly described as low, moderate or high as follows:

Low it is unlikely that archaeological evidence associated with this historical phase or feature survives;

Moderate it is possible that some archaeological evidence associated with this historical phase or feature survive. If archaeological remains survive theymay have been subject to some disturbance.

High it is likely that archaeological evidence associated with this historical phase or feature survives intact.

General description of the types of historical archaeological remains across the areas of impact and their overview significance is provided. No additionalreassessment of significance has been undertaken as part of this report.

In assessing preliminary archaeological impacts, only works that have the potential to impact on the potential archaeological resource has been considered.

4.1 Conclusions

4.1.1 Built Heritage

The Sydney City Capacity Improvement Plan generally comprises minor alterations to previouslymodified roads and footpaths throughout the city centre and does not involve alterations to anyheritage items within the five precincts. Whilst there would be a minor impact through the introductionof new signage adjacent to a number of heritage items, these impacts are considered minor in nature,and as a whole the proposal would have a negligible impact on heritage significance.

Pending further refinement during detailed design for the proposal, the planned traffic efficiencyimprovements that would be introduced adjacent to a number of building façades and awnings mayslightly affect their visual setting. This would include:

NW1: Kent Street: Watch House Terrace (state listed), Red Cross House (state listed),Commercial Terrace Group (locally listed), Andre Bros warehouse (locally listed) and theAmbassador warehouse (locally listed);

NW2: King Street: The Grace building (state listed), former unnamed warehouse (locally listed),;

R2: Market Street:Chambers (locally listed) and the David Jones Department Store (locally listed);

R3: Sussex Street: Unnamed building (state listed), City Bank of Sydney and Post Office(locally listed), Foley Building warehouse (locally listed);

R4: Clarence Street: Transport House (state listed), Watch House (state listed), PinnacleHouse (state listed), Commercial building (locally listed) and(locally listed);

R5: York Street: The Grace Building (state listed) and the Commonwealth Bank (locally listed);

S3: Pitt Street: Snow Emporium (locally listed);

C1: Wentworth Avenue: ocally listed), Ballarat House(locally listed), Gordon House (locally listed), and Sheffield House (locally listed); and

C2: College Street: Land Titles Office (state listed), St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral and ChapterHouse (state listed), Cook and Phillip Park (locally listed) and the Australian Museum (statelisted).

Should the detailed design require an impact on the fabric of any of these State heritage buildings, thework would require approval from the NSW Heritage Council under Section 60 of the Heritage Act1977 (NSW), or a Section 57(2). Exemption may apply (depending on the extent and nature of thework). A development application may need to be submitted to the City of Sydney for works physicallyimpacting on local heritage items. Both processes would require a Heritage Impact Assessment to beundertaken and submitted.

The proposed kerb modifications at the intersection of Macquarie Street and St James Road andPrince Albert Road are located within the buffer zone of Hyde Park Barracks, listed as a component ofthe Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Listing. Approval under the Environmental Protection andBiodiversity Conservation Act (1999) EPBC Act would be required for any action occurring within oroutside a declared World Heritage property that has, will have, or is likely to have a significant impacton its outstanding universal values. However, given that the proposal involves alterations to roads andfootpaths that have previously been modified, the works would not impact on the outstanding universalvalues of Hyde Park Barracks, and it is unlikely they would result in a significant impact to a matter ofnational significance under the EPBC Act. An EPBC Act referral may not be required.

It is unknown at this stage whether works are proposed in the World Heritage listed buffer zone of theSydney Opera House, which extends through the Royal Botanic Gardens along the eastern length ofMacquarie Street (contained in worksite F1). However, considering the generally minor nature of worksproposed, it is unlikely they would have a significant impact on the outstanding universal values ofSydney Opera House. An EPBC Act referral may not be required.

Under the EPBC Act, the proponent (RMS) can undertake a self-assessment to determine whether theaction is likely to have a significant impact on Hyde Park Barracks or the Sydney Opera House, and todetermine whether a referral is required to the Australian Government Environment Minister. Given theminor nature of the works described above, it would be appropriate to determine that no action underthe EPBC Act is required.

4.1.2 Archaeology

e the ground has been highlydisturbed as a result of development throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, leaving much

Based on the high level of disturbance, the archaeological potential of the proposal footprint and studyarea is assessed to be generally low. Fragmentary historical archaeological remains may survive insome areas not impacted by the substantial ground disturbances required for construction ofbasements, services, roads and major subsurface infrastructure works such as road and train tunnelsand underground stations all of which were constructed during the late nineteenth and early twentiethcentury developments.

The majority of the potential historical archaeological resources within the proposal footprint areassessed to be significant at the local level, with a limited number that could be considered to besignificant at the State and/or World Heritage level. These would constitute relics within the definitionof the Heritage Act, and should be managed in accordance with the relics provision of the Act. Ingeneral, the proposal would involve localised ground disturbance, with some work requiring excavationto a depth of up to three metres, which could impact on potential archaeological resources.

These works would include utility adjustments, drainage modifications, light post and traffic signalrelocation. The excavation depth in some areas could reach three metres below the current groundsurface. The excavation details would be confirmed during detailed design and preconstruction toallow the appropriate safeguards and management measures to be identified.

4.2 Recommendations

4.2.1 Built Heritage

Undertake risk studies to confirm the potential damage from traffic to the sandstone plinth alongthe eastern perimeter of Hyde Park in College Street.

Any additional signage should, where possible, replace existing signage rather than add toexisting, and seek to reduce visual clutter (by combining and/or collocating), particularly in theviews of heritage buildings.

Where there is potential for damage to significant fabric, explore alternative design options toavoid or mitigate impacts. Proceed with works only if/when it can be demonstrated essential tothe functionality of the Capacity Improvement Plan, and cannot be mitigated or avoided.

Owing to the large scale and low extent of proposed works taking place in the vicinity of heritagelisted buildings, it would be beneficial to brief the Heritage Division about the proposed worksand anticipated impacts in order to determine which works would require Section 60Applications or be subject to Section 57 Exemptions.

Should the detailed design confirm the potential requirement to physically modify heritage items(including awnings) this should be designed in consultation with an experienced heritagepractitioner to reduce potential adverse heritage impacts on significant fabric.

Following finalisation of the design, RMS should undertake a self-assessment in accordancewith the EPBC Act to confirm that the proposed works are not likely to have a significant impacton the outstanding universal values of Hyde Park Barracks or the Sydney Opera House.

4.2.2 Archaeology

Once the extent and location of below-ground excavation is confirmed during the detaileddesign, it should be reconciled against the assessment in this report to identify coinciding areaswhere there could be a potential archaeological impact.

Based on the overall assessment of archaeological potential and its significance within theindividual precincts, it is recommended that ground disturbance works with the potential tocause archaeological impacts be recorded and undergo archaeological monitoring as part ofmitigation measures (refer to Section 3.4 of the report).

Archaeological monitoring and recording should be undertaken in accordance with relevantapprovals under the Heritage Act, commensurate with the significance of the potentialarchaeological resource and the level of archaeological impacts.

Ground disturbance works that have the potential to impact on archaeological resources of localsignificance should be undertaken in accordance with an Excavation Permit under Section 140or Exception Notification under Section 139(4) of the Heritage Act. The type of approvalrequired can be determined once the details of the proposed work have been finalised (ie thedepth and extent of excavation).

Ground disturbance works that have the potential to impact on the archaeological resourceswithin the curtilages of the SHR listed items should be undertaken in accordance with an

Approval under Section 60 or Exemption under Section 57(2) of the Heritage Act. The type ofapproval required can be determined once the details of the proposed ground disturbance workhas been finalised and further assessment completed.

Each application would need to be accompanied by an Archaeological Research Design orWork Method Statement, which would provide an appropriate archaeological methodology andresearch framework to guide the works.

The results of archaeological monitoring and recording should be presented in a succinctexcavation report used to inform future interpretation measures (if appropriate), as part of theproposed development of the site.

Any historical artefacts retrieved during the site works would be the responsibly of the owner ofthe site. This would include appropriate artefact management and long-term storage inaccordance with recommendations detailed in the relevant Archaeological Research Design orWork Method Statement.

In the event that significant historical archaeological evidence not identified in this report was tobe encountered during site works, works should cease and the NSW Heritage Division, Office ofEnvironment and Heritage (OEH) be notified immediately in accordance with Section 146 of theHeritage Act. Further assessment and/or approval may be required before works couldrecommence.

Any unexpected archaeological resource should be managed in accordance with RMSUnexpected Finds Procedure.

In the event that archaeological evidence relating to Aboriginal occupation and/or use of theproject precincts were to be identified during the proposed works, works should cease in theimmediate area and the OEH be notified immediately pursuant to Section 89A of the NationalParks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NSW), unless an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit has beenalready issued for the project.

Appendix F

Kerbside use restrictions during construction and operation


The proposal would result in temporary and permanent kerbside allocation modifications across its footprint. Temporary impacts would be felt over the anticipated construction period. The kerbside use restrictions required for the more minor works could be in place for one or two days (a short-term impact) and during this period it would still be possible to have some use and access. Conversely, kerbside use restrictions required for the more major traffic capacity improvements (refer to the grey shaded activities in Table 3-3 to Table 3-7) would be in place full-time and for longer than one month (a long-term impact). Table 6-31 presents a summary of the long-term restrictions. Kerbside uses would also be permanently affected in a number of locations in order to implement the required traffic capacity improvements. The changes would comprise:

Altered on-street parking restrictions for various transport modes

Introduced no-stopping provisions, which in some locations would be supplemented by kerbside allocation losses

Bus zone and layover modifications

Altered loading zone timings

Kerbside allocation relocation

Kerbside allocation improvements (eg introduced loadings zones and parking bays)

Parking modifications

Motorcycle parking modifications

Mail zone modifications. Table F-1 shows the temporary impacts resulting from the proposal. Table F-2 shows the introduced restrictions once the proposal is operational. The information in Table F-2 relates to the scheme descriptions provided in Table 3-3 to Table 3-7. Table F-2 shows the net change within each work site. It accounts for the provisions, changes and alterations introduced across three periods of the weekday (morning, inter (representing the period across the middle of the day) and afternoon). It does not show the provisions during the weekday evening or at the weekend. The information in Table F-2 (a net change of specifically affected provisions (ie on-street parking spaces)) cannot therefore be directly compared to the information in Table F-1 (showing the entire provision in each work site not all of which will be operationally impacted by the proposal).

Outdoor seating and dining impacts

Outdoor seating and dining impacts

The proposed kerbside and footpath modifications along with the road resurfacing works would occur close to a number of outdoor seating and dining areas. Due to needing to close off sections of footpath during construction and work within the kerbside, this may conflict with the use of these areas. As discussed in section 6.4.3 this would lead to an amenity impact. At this stage there is not anticipated requirement to restrict the use of these outdoor dining/seating areas; however this would only be confirmed once the construction method is confirmed by the contractor.

Appendix I

Landscape character and visual impacts

Landscape character and visual impacts

Landscape character

Method and approach

This appendix contains the detail of the assessment of the proposal’s impact on each identified landscape character (sub) zones. The assessment is based on both the zone’s sensitivity and the change to the zone’s characteristics during construction and operation. A judgement has been made as to the quality and extent of change resulting from the mass, scale, presence, dominance and influence of the proposal on the zone’s landscape character. Construction and operational impacts have been considered. Construction impact duration has been defined as:

Short-term where the works would last less than one week

Medium-term where the works would last one week to one month

Long-term where the works would last over one month.

Operational impacts have been defined as either being temporary or permanent.

Existing environment

Regional landscape character

The proposal would take place within Australia’s oldest city. The built form is highly developed and comprises a mixture of iconic, identifiable and historic buildings, which collectively provide key reference points within the city streetscape. They allow both user navigation and provide context to the city’s development history. The broad landscape character of the city can be divided into a number of areas that represent key districts:

North: The Rocks retains its historic character typified by its narrower, occasionally cobble-paved, streets fronted with low-rise sandstone-clad historic buildings. These provide an important context and reference to the city’s first settlers and its early years.

Central corridor: Across the central corridor high-rise office blocks and residential buildings (typically above 100 metres) frame and contain the streetscape below. Views are restricted other than at key high points and intersections. Along the narrower streets, shade effects increase the sense of enclosure. Within this area there is a clear distinction and contrast between the old and the new. Importantly the key historic buildings within the area are celebrated and have been enhanced over time to increase their prominence and importance in the landscape. The other main feature within this area is the creation of a number of pedestrianised streets. They introduce important boulevard and plaza characteristics, and contain seating, landscaping and other street furniture to provide a greater sense of openness and tranquillity compared to the adjacent city streets.

East: The park areas form an important green eastern edge to the city and provide an important connected recreational open space. They clearly separate the city from the residential areas to the east. They frame an important gateway to the city creating a number of important views on approaching the city. Hyde Park has two distinct edges to the north and east and separately to the south and west. Important institutional free-standing sandstone buildings front College Street and St James Road, with the likes of Queens Square providing an early example of formal urban design in the city. The high-rise central corridor, creates encloses the park by forming a strong street alignment.

South: Remnant warehouses and service laneways provide evidence of the area’s historic role as a market area and its proximity to the port of Darling Harbour. This market character is reinforced by the grained subdivision patters, narrow frontages, informal public spaces and low building heights. Unlike the central corridor there is more light penetration throughout this area, which lends to a more pleasant microclimate and removes the sense of enclosure felt elsewhere to the north.

Local landscape character and value

The above districts have their history in providing the city with key distinct services and functions namely, finance, transport, retail, commercial, civic, governance and education. These districts have been broadly represented through the five precincts considered in this REF. Each precinct therefore has its key characteristics, qualities and sensitivities to change as summarised in Table I-1, which shows the proposal footprint to comprise nine landscape character (sub) zones.

Table I-1 Local landscape characteristics

Precinct Landscape character and sensitivity


Zone 1: King Street and Kent Street contain many of the characteristics of the adjacent retail precinct (see below). Modern and historic development coincides. Certain historic warehouses remain, providing reference to the area’s development history. As with the retail precinct there is an architectural emphasis on the buildings located at key intersections, which lends to the distinctive character of the area. The landscape character is assessed as being of good quality and in the context of the proposal would only have a negligible-to-low sensitivity to change.

Precinct 2: retail

Zone 2: The retail precinct contains a mixture of historic and modern development. The area’s history is evidenced in the early warehouses that, in part, have been retained and redeveloped through a process of gentrification. Some of the warehouses have given way to medium-story 19th and 20th century masonry buildings, which are of a consistent scale, form and character. There is an architectural emphasis on the buildings located at key intersections, which lends to the distinctive character of the area. The other key feature is the network of lanes and internal courtyards. They provide a uniform block pattern with narrow frontages. The QVB provides further evidence of the markets that once existed in the area. It retains a grand scale and rare composition in the city centre. At the periphery, the medium-rise development gives way to newer high-rise commercial buildings along the northern end of Clarence Street and Sussex Street. They frame and contain the roads. In general however the landscape character is assessed as being of is of good quality and in the context of the proposal would only have a negligible-to-low sensitivity to change.


The southern precinct contains a number of distinct characteristics that can be characterised into four separate subzones.

Subzone 3a (Haymarket): As noted above Haymarket area contains remnant warehouses and service lanes characteristic of the areas market history. Many of the buildings have been redeveloped following the relocation of the markets to Flemington. Paddy’s Market is central to the area’s character having been in existence since the 1830s. The area offers evidence of its development and later decline. Despite this, it retains a market atmosphere characterised by a diversity of uses, street life and social and ethnic mix. The landscape character is assessed as being of good quality and in the context of the proposal would only have a negligible-to-low sensitivity to change.

Subzone 3b (Central Station): Railway Square forms a major visual and functional gateway. Pitt Street/George Street is a busy large intersection dispersing traffic and pedestrians into and out of the city. The area has functioned for over 150 years as a railway station and transport interchange. It provides both symbolic and historic reference as the main hub of NSW’s train network. The current civic heritage of the area is evident in the built form and structure. It provides important reference to the current and past. The wider area comprises mixed commercial, institutional, residential and hotel uses. The landscape character is assessed as being of good quality and in


the context of the proposal would only have a negligible-to-low sensitivity to change.

Subzone 3c (Ultimo and Broadway): This area forms a distinct neighbourhood predominantly comprising institutional and commercial buildings. It is distinct and separate from the rest of the city centre considered under this proposal. A number of retained historic buildings have been adapted and reused. They are interspersed with new development that has maintained street legibility throughout the neighbourhood. Broadway is characteristic of its namesake providing a wide boulevard and transport corridor into the city flanked by a number of important architectural buildings. These themes continue on Ultimo Road however there are fewer historic buildings in favour of newer medium rise development. The landscape character is assessed as being of good quality and in the context of the proposal would only have a negligible-to-low sensitivity to change.

Subzone 3d (Pitt Street and Goulburn Street): These streets are typical of the high-rise central corridor described above. They comprise several iconic buildings over 100 metres tall. These landmark buildings, focussed around World Square, are interspersed with medium-rise masonry historic buildings that have been converted to a mixture of retail and commercial uses. Whilst there is less historical cohesion along these streets the area remains typical and representative of many of the streets throughout the central part of the city. In context the landscape character is assessed as being of ordinary quality and in the context of the proposal would only have a negligible sensitivity to change.

Precinct 4: college

The college precinct contains two distinctive subzones.

Subzone 4a (Wentworth Avenue): Wentworth Avenue is in contrast to Hyde Park. It forms a wide trafficked boulevard flanked by median-rise residential development and lower-rise commercial properties interspersed with occasional historical buildings. Occasional mature trees add to the streetscape. The falling topography affords long-distance views along the road corridor to the south. The landscape character is assessed as being of ordinary quality ordinary quality and in the context of the proposal would only have a negligible sensitivity to change.

Subzone 4b (College Street/Hyde Park): As noted above, College Street and Hyde Park create a clearly distinct area. Hyde Park forms an important open space in the city. It provides a transition point between the city centre high-rise and the key suburbs to the east. To the east and north the institutional, governance and historic character of the area has been retained. These components form to create a strong distinct relationship. Hyde Park is Sydney’s oldest public open space and is prized for its recreational opportunities. It contains a number of important monuments. The landscape character is assessed as being an attractive landscape however in the context of the proposal would only have a low sensitivity to change.


Zone 5: Macquarie Street contains a collection of highly significant historic buildings. Originally developed as a government precinct it expanded to contain prominent residential and professional uses and latterly commercial and tourism uses.

Macquarie Street forms the eastern built edge of the city. Its western side comprises a built edge of medium-rise buildings beyond which is the city high-rise. These combine to create a prominent skyline when viewed from the Botanic Gardens. The eastern edge is in contrast containing joined areas of open space along with a cohesive group of public historic buildings that terminate west-east streets and create significant vistas. Macquarie Street is also recognised for its historic civic function and its relationship to Hyde Park to the south and Bennelong Point to the north now occupied by the Sydney


Opera House. The landscape character is assessed as being an attractive landscape however in the context of the proposal would only have a low sensitivity to change.

The above quality of each landscape character zone and sub zone reflects how sensitive it would be to change in the context of the proposal. Each work site is located within one of the landscape character zones above. It too has the same qualities reflecting the landscape character however each work site would be more sensitive to change due to the immediacy of the impact of the proposal within the road corridor and its effects on each work site’s streetscape. Table I-2 describes the sensitivity of each work site.

Construction impacts

Various works would take place within each landscape character zone. Whilst the exact construction staging is still to be confirmed, no one location (or work site) would be affected for longer than a few months, and in many cases the impact duration would be either medium-term or short-term. The impact on the landscape and streetscape character of the area would depend on the type of construction activity taking place in a given location and the duration of the work. The construction activities required at each work site are described in Table 3-3 to Table 3-7 with a summary provided in Table 3-2 and Table 3-10. They include:

The installation of equipment to support temporary traffic management controls

The installation of equipment to support temporary footpath restrictions

Major equipment relocation

Tree removal and punning

Ground excavation work associated with utility adjustments, drainage modifications and general signal, lighting pole and traffic signal relocations

Regarding and resurfacing the road

Adjustments to the footpaths, kerbs and intersections requiring cutting, grinding and sawing.

The work site’s character would also be impacted by general construction activities, dust generation, amenity affects (including noise and vibration impacts), loading and unloading activities, the presence of construction equipment, and the bollards, fencing and hoardings that would be used to demark all active working areas. In certain locations the construction work is expected to last longer than three months. These locations are shaded grey in Table 3-3 to Table 3-7 and the impacts would be more notable that the short-term minor work that would typically last less than two weeks and potentially only a few days. There is an important distinction between the impacts on the local landscape character versus the impacts within the streetscape. In particular the changes would be more notable within the streetscape of each road versus affecting the overall landscape character of an area. The above factors were considered in determining the proposal’s landscape/streetscape impacts. Whilst the construction impacts would depend on the activities taking place in a given location and the duration of the activities, it was broadly assessed that the more major supporting work and traffic capacity improvements (refer to Table 3-2) would require a greater level of construction activity in a given location for a longer period of time. On this basis the following impact magnitude ratings were used to assess the impact on landscape/streetscape character

1: Intersection reconfiguration and geometry modifications: moderate

2: Kerb extension alterations: low-moderate

3: Footpath width alterations: moderate

5: Kerbside allocation modifications: low

6: Lane arrangements: low

Supporting work: - Major equipment relocation: low-moderate - Tree pruning or removal: low-moderate - Bus lane marking alterations or instalment: low - Road regrading and resurfacing: low-moderate - Traffic signal and lighting pole works: low - Surface drainage modification and relocation: low - Bus shelter relocation: low - Utility works: low-moderate

The above ratings were applied to the construction activity taking place in each location as described in Table 3-3 to Table 3-7. The assessment considered the highest impact magnitude rating occurring within a given work site and applied it to the whole work site. It did not differentiate between variability in the type and scale of activity within a work site.

Table I-3 details the proposal’s landscape and streetscape character impacts during construction. It also describes the work activities that would result in the impact and identifies which work sites would include more major work activities consistent with the information presented in Table 3-3 to Table 3-7.

Operational impacts

New or upgraded road infrastructure would be introduced into an established road corridor. In all locations, the mass and scale of the changes would not be sufficient to influence the context or setting the road has on the local landscape character. This is reinforced by the fact that the proposal has been designed to be consistent with the urban character of the road (refer to section 3.2.4 of the main REF). It achieves this by replicating design elements and materials already used within the road corridor. In the majority of locations the change would therefore be negligible. There would be two exceptions to the above:

Where road would be widened within the existing corridor either by widening the footpath or removing a kerb extension

Where the kerbside allocations are either revised or removed providing an extra traffic lane closer to the footpath and adjacent building frontages.

The above would lend to a sense of intensification within the local streetscape as more traffic capacity is introduced in certain locations. This would alter established relationships and settings resulting in localised impacts. These changes are considered more notable than the other proposed improvements which focus on moving traffic more efficiently through an intersection and along sections of road. There would also be other localised effects where the street lighting is altered or trees would be removed. Table I-4 assesses the landscape character impacts that would result from road widening, kerb alteration and kerbside allocation modification works.

Table I-4 Landscape characteristic impacts (operation)


Zone 1: north west

NW2: King Street

The proposed kerb and footpath realignments throughout this work site would provide additional west-east traffic capacity along the majority of the corridor. As a result, road traffic would become more dominant in the context of the landscape, marginally altering its relationship to and influence on the urban landscape. This would be more marked in King Street than elsewhere in the proposal footprint as the road is narrower and enclosed. It may have an effect on the spatial quality of the street’s architectural importance and therefore its character. Despite this, the change would be at work moderate between Clarence Street and York Street.

At the zone level the change would be contained within the immediate corridor with the broader character zone remaining unaffected. The impact would therefore be negligible

At the street level, the impact would be low adverse at worst due to the low level of change that would occur.

Zone 2: retail

R2: Market Street

The proposed kerb and footpath realignments throughout this work site would provide additional west-east traffic capacity along the majority of the corridor. This would be complemented by creating an additional eastbound traffic between George Street and Pitt Street, as a result of implementing permanent no stopping restrictions. Unlike Market Street the major works would be limited to the central section of the work site between Clarence Street and George Street. As a result, the road traffic would only become a more dominant component of the landscape character centrally. Market Street is also a wider corridor and therefore the changes could be better contained and accommodated.

At the zone level the change would be contained within the immediate corridor with the broader character zone remaining unaffected. The


impact would therefore be negligible.

At the street level, the impact would be low adverse at worst due to the ability for the road corridor to better accommodate the changes

R3: Sussex Street

The proposed implementation of permanent no-stopping on both kerbsides would create continuous southbound lanes. The road contains fewer components that define the character of the retail zone. In part Sussex Street already functions as a bypass corridor, consistent objective of the transport priorities defined under the Access Strategy. The removal of parking along the street would intensify this function by facilitating increased southbound traffic movements. This is supported by the lack of cohesion along this part of Sussex Street with the rest of the more historic city centre despite the occasional fronting heritage-listed building.


At the street level, the proposal would reinforce the function of this section of Sussex Street as a bypass outer traffic corridor. This distinction is considered of low beneficial.

R4: Clarence Street

The proposed relocation of the bus lane to the inside lane would introduce more bus traffic closer to the kerb. As a result there would be improved capacity for buses along this established major south-north traffic corridor. Whilst the proposal would not introduce more buses along Clarence Street the containment of buses to the inside western kerb would alter the character along this frontage. These changes would take place along a road that retains many of the characteristics that define the retail zone.


At the street level, the impact would be low beneficial due to reallocation of priorities, the removal of traffic conflict and the relocation of the bus lane from the kerbside.

R5: York Street

Improved bus operations in York Street would function to reduce the layover times and movement of southbound traffic along the road, especially during the peak hour period, when the changes would be complemented through kerbside use restrictions. Unlike Clarence Street, the change would not force bus traffic to the inside lane. Consistent with the current arrangement, buses could continue to use all the available lanes.


At the street level, the impact would be low adverse at worst due to the improved movement along the road and the ability for buses to use all traffic lanes. It is possible that the changes would have a beneficial impact on the character of the street. This would depend on how significant the altered traffic conditions were, especially during the peak hour periods.

Subzone 3a: southern (Haymarket)

S1: Sussex Street

Despite being located within an alternative landscape character zone the characteristics of Sussex Street south of Bathurst Street are generally consistent with work site R3 (Sussex Street). The street’s function as a bypass route is retained and there is only slightly more reference to the


area’s market history.


At the street level, the proposal would reinforce the function of this section of Sussex Street as a bypass outer traffic corridor. This distinction is considered of low beneficial.

Subzone 3b: southern (Central Station)

S6: Pitt Street The modifications would be limited to minor kerb alignment adjustments in Pitt Street and George Street. The changes are of a mass and scale to have little influence on the street or zone’s landscape character:

The zone would also remain unaffected and therefore the impact would be negligible

At the street level, the changes would be inconsequential and therefore the impact would be negligible.

Subzone 3c: southern (Ultimo and Broadway)

S4: Ultimo Road

The modifications would be limited to kerbside changes around one intersection. Their mass and scale is not sufficient to have an influence on the street or zone’s landscape character.



S5: Broadway Despite removing the bus lane along part of Broadway this would not affect its overall boulevard characteristics. The change would also be less marked due to the wide road corridor. Conversely, the Wattle Street intersection’s character would markedly change. Defining and delineating kerbside uses on the intersection provides an opportunity to increase the quality of the street frontage to service the adjacent buildings.


Providing the landscape design of the Wattle Street intersection adopts the urban design principles (refer to chapter 3) the change may be of low beneficial at the streetscape level

Subzone 3d: southern (Pitt Street and Goulburn Street)

S2: Goulburn Street

The modifications would be limited to kerbside changes around one intersection. Their mass and scale is not sufficient to have an influence on the street or zone’s landscape character.



S3: Pitt Street The introduction of more stringent parking and loading controls would allow the inside traffic lanes to be used in peak hours. This road is narrow and retains many characteristics of the retail zone, with narrower footpaths than elsewhere in the proposal footprint and a reduce road width. As a result, road traffic would become more dominant in the context of the landscape, marginally altering its relationship to and influence on the urban landscape. This would be more marked in Pitt Street than elsewhere in the


proposal footprint as the road is narrower and enclosed. However it would have less of an effect on the spatial quality as the street frontage is of lesser architectural importance.


At the street level, the impact would be low adverse at worst due to the low level changes that would occur.

Subzone 4a: college (Wentworth Avenue)

C1: Wentworth

Wentworth Avenue forms an important wide corridor. Consistent with Broadway the scale of the changes would not affect this road’s overall characteristics as a significant arterial road. Whilst the lost mature tree contributes to the character of the road frontage its loss would not significantly alter the streetscape.


At the street level, the changes would be inconsequential and therefore negligible.

Subzone 4b: college (College Street/Hyde Park)

C2: College Street

The most notable change would be around the Macquarie Street intersection. The kerbside adjustments would permit traffic to use all lanes on entry to and from Macquarie Street. This would bring traffic closer to the Hyde Park Barracks. The other notable change would be the pruning of the line of fig trees to provide an improved kerb geometry and traffic coming closer to Queens Square (and the associated Queen Victoria monument).

Unlike elsewhere in the proposal footprint the changes would also potentially affect the historic values, context and setting of the zone albeit at a localised scale. Consequently, the impact is assessed as low adverse

Around the Macquarie Street intersection the impact would be moderate-low adverse at worst depending on the final extent of pruning and the kerb realignment

Zone 5: financial


The removal of the mid-block kerb extension and use of the inside lane for traffic would slightly alter the road’s relationship

The result of removing the midblock kerb extension would be that road traffic would become more dominant in the context of the landscape, marginally altering its relationship to and influence on the urban landscape. Despite returning the kerb to its original alignment it would affect the relationship to a number of adjacent and important historical buildings. This would be intensified through the removal of two mature eucalypts. Despite, this the changes would be localised to a short section of Macquarie Street and despite being typical in character of the zone the impact would be limited in context.


At the street level, the impact would be low adverse at worst due to the low level of change that would occur.

Visual impacts

Method and approach

The visual impact assessment is based on the observation that the proposal’s visual envelope and catchment would be constrained to the immediate road corridor. The assessment as considered the impact on a number of representative receivers within the visual envelope. Not all individual receivers have been identified in preference of identifying the most sensitive receivers. An assessment has been made based on a composite of the sensitivity of the view and magnitude of the proposal in that view. Nature, scale, size, character are the aspects that have been adopted to assess impact magnitude. As with the landscape character assessment construction and operational impacts have been considered. Construction impact duration has been defined as:

Short-term where the works would last less than one week

Medium-term where the works would last one week to one month

Long-term where the works would last over one month.

Operational impacts have been defined as either being temporary or permanent.

Visual receivers

Visual receivers are those people who would be affected by landscape and streetscape impacts. They are assessed in terms of identify places where people regularly congregate and include residential property, public buildings, public spaces, heritage items and key businesses. With reference to the proposal the visual receivers include:

Occupiers of buildings fronting the proposal footprint and its intersecting roads

Passengers, drivers and other road users (eg pedestrians and cyclists) travelling throughout the proposal footprint and its intersecting roads

Café, restaurant and retail customers using the amenities and businesses fronting the proposal footprint and its intersecting roads.

The sensitivity of each receiver to the landscape and streetscape changes that would be introduced under the proposal is affected by a combination whether:

They would be permanently or temporarily affected (eg people that live in the city versus people that work in the city)

The function and use of each receiver (eg a residential property versus a public open space)

Their location relative to the proposal footprint.

In the case of the proposal ground-floor receivers adjacent to the proposal footprint are assessed as being the most sensitive to change compared to those receivers either further away or located above ground level.

The above parameters were considered in this assessment such that the identified receivers are typically restricted to ground-floor businesses, public buildings and public spaces fronting the proposal footprint. It therefore typically residential receivers as they are generally located above ground level and in some instances set back from the proposal footprint. The few exceptions are described below. It was not feasible to assess the impact at every single receiver. Consequently, a number of representative receivers were selected for assessment, as set out in Table 6-40. These receivers are located immediately adjacent to the locations in the proposal footprint where the more major traffic capacity improvements would be installed (as described in Table 3-2), specifically:

Intersection reconfigurations and geometry modifications


Footpath width alterations. It therefore excludes receivers located adjacent to the following work sites (NW1: Kent Street, R3: Sussex Street, S1: Sussex Street and F2: Macquarie Street) as the visual impact of the construction and operation are assessed as negligible. Each receiver has been graded according to its sensitivity to change. As noted above, all the selected receivers are located immediately adjacent to the proposal footprint. Their sensitivity to change is therefore a combination of the receivers use and function and consequentially whether the people who congregate there would be temporarily or permanently affected by the change. Typically:

Business premises would have a low sensitivity to change as they are only temporarily occupied during the daytime, evening or night and are already exposed to the visual impact of the existing road

Cafés, restaurants, hotels and pubs with no outdoor seating or dining would have a low to medium sensitivity to change as their patrons would only be temporarily affected by the proposal and the business does not rely on the kerbside. Consideration was also given as to whether these receivers are lower end establishment (eg a fast food restaurant or backpacker hostels) or whether it is a higher end establishment (eg a fine dining restaurant, four star hotels)

Cafés, restaurants, hotels and pubs with outdoor seating or dining areas are assessed as being typically more sensitive to change due to their reliance on the kerbside. Again consideration was given to the type of establishment

Retail premises would typically have a low sensitivity to change as their patrons would only be temporarily affected, however certain boutique or higher end or specialist retail stores were considered more-sensitive

Public buildings are assessed as having varying levels of sensitivity deepening on their use

Public spaces, key land mark buildings and heritage listed buildings typically have a high sensitivity to change due to their role and function

Construction impacts

As with landscape character, the views experienced at a number of immediately adjacent ground floor business premises and other sensitive receivers would be affected during construction. The same impact magnitude ratings as applied to the construction activities under the landscape/streetscape character assessment have been adopted in the assessment.

Operational impacts

Drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and other road users (including retail customers, tourists and office workers) would have transient views of the proposal. There would be few fixed receivers at ground-level who would be permanently impacted. Despite this, many of the city’s streets are used on a daily basis by commuters. They tend to have established travel patterns using the same routes to travel to and from work at the same times each day. Consequently, whilst they form a transient receiver group they would be routinely exposed to the changes introduced under the proposal and are therefore more sensitive than occasional visitors (assuming they would not permanently change their travel patterns in response to the proposal (refer to section 6.1.3)). This regular exposure would likely extend to the use of shops, cafés, restaurants and bus stops. A number of residential properties overlook the affected streets. Whilst these receivers would not be likely to be able to distinguish between individual components introduced under the proposal, they would be able to distinguish the overall increase in traffic capacity and introduction of additional traffic lanes and turning movements along the affected roads. The overall impact would be affected by the altered street geometries and the ‘intensification’ of traffic within sections of road corridor. There would also be some visual changes due to the relocation of equipment, lighting posts, traffic signals and the removal of trees Table I-7 (overleaf) describes the visual impacts across the proposal footprint relative to each assessed receiver. Change has been assessed as:

1: Intersection reconfiguration and geometry modifications: negligible-low

2: Kerb extension alterations: negligible-low

3: Footpath width alterations: negligible-low

5: Kerbside allocation modifications: negligible

6: Lane arrangements: negligible

Again, the overall change would depend on the scale of the work. In certain locations, multiple traffic capacity improvements would have been installed, whilst in other locations the degree of change would be larger to achieve the same general type of improvement (e.g. the kerb would be adjusted more in one location than another). This is reflected in the following table and above ratings.

Coordinates

- non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites

- migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers

- some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed

Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a generalguide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from thedata is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to considerthe qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.

For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived fromrecovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatenedecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location dataare used to produce indicative distribution maps.

- seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continentSuch breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery plansand detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are indicatedunder 'type of presence'. For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are collatedfrom government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimaticdistribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps arebased solely on expert knowledge.

The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged atthe end of the report.

This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determiningobligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mappedlocations of World Heritage and Register of National Estate properties, Wetlands of InternationalImportance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine speciesand listed threatened ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at thisstage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various resolutions.

- threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants

- some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area

The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:
