C0718 Item 12 Sydney Metro - Sydenham to
Bankstown Upgrade - Council Submission on Preferred Infrastructure Report
|
|
Motion:
(Drury/Steer)
THAT:
1.
Council reiterate
our view that the case for the Sydney Metro Sydenham to Bankstown has not
been adequately made. Our community is not prepared to accept the disruption
that would be caused by this project, that we are not convinced will benefit
our community or Sydney as a whole;
2.
Council suggest the
State Government build new rail services to suburbs that don’t
currently have them rather than converting existing commuter rail services
from one rail mode to another rail mode;
3. Council point out to the Department of
Planning that simply reiterating the reasons for the project in the
“Preferred Infrastructure Report” has, surprisingly, has not
changed our minds;
4. Given the appalling record of the State Government
in managing infrastructure we also fear there will be a construction blowout;
5.
Council adopts the report
with the following amendments. First sentence of first paragraph and replace
with:
“Inner
West Council does not believe that the case for the Sydney Metro Sydenham
to Bankstown has been adequately made and we oppose the Sydenham
to Bankstown Corridor Strategy. The Council on 24 October 2017 called
on the NSW Government to abandon the strategy, given concerns about impacts
on local character and heritage and existing affordable housing and lack of
provision of community and State infrastructure.”;
·
Delete “Additionally” from the second line
of the first paragraph;
·
Amend third paragraph to commence with:
“If the NSW
Government is determined to press ahead with the strategy, in the face of
council and community opposition, then the cumulative impacts of the Metro
and the strategy need to be more adequately addressed”;
· In
relation to parking management -include the requirement for the Project to fund
a Parking Management Plan, along with the subsequent implementation of any
recommendations of this plan, to manage parking impacts from the project’s
construction and operation;
·
In relation to vegetation and biodiversity - include
“Council expresses extreme concern over
the loss of 503 trees and requests 2 for 1 replacements of any trees lost
as a result of the project”;
·
In relation to stormwater – “Council
expresses concern that the flooding, drainage and
stormwater assessment provided in the EIS was inadequate and it is
considered that the proposed revised mitigation measures are insufficient.
Consequently, Council requests that comprehensive stormwater modelling
should be conducted to provide an evidence-based assessment of all issues
and that Council Officers be consulted prior to finalising any mitigation measures”;
·
In relation to disabled access between carriages and
platforms – “While Council Officers recognise that a
straightening of platforms would provide the most reliable
accessibility. It is accepted that the proposed active and passive gap- filling
mechanisms should provide DDA compliance with a lower level of disruption
to passengers and nearby residents”
6.
Council thanks the
staff for the preparation of the report;
7.
Delete the last 2
sentences of the conclusion of the report and replace with:
“Where the Sydney metro builds brand new rail lines to
suburbs that don’t currently have them it represents an improvement to Sydney’s
mass transit network. Where it converts existing heavy rail lines to metro it
is failing to expand Sydney’s rail network, thus preventing a shift
toward sustainable travel from private car dependency.”
8.
Council forward a copy of the
resolution to Canterbury-Bankstown Council.

impacts from air pollution;
iii. Explain why air quality monitoring data for the WestConnex Stage 1

readings taken from the WestConnex monitor at St Peters Public School has at
times showed exceedences of some air pollution standards, and the health
implications of these exceedences;

5. Write a letter to the NSW Premier and
WestConnex stating that construction will
be ongoing until 2023 at the very least they should offer to pay council
rates for the affected properties so to
compensate for the impacts on the residents.
