Introduction
Today’s Sydney• Reinvigorated NSW economy• Above national average population growth• Increased traffic volumes = increased congestion
Global Sydney• Trending towards a ‘small’ megacity• Australia’s first global city• Critical role of transport for Global Sydney
Current state to Global Sydney

Today’s Sydney
• London has 5100 people per square kilometre
• Sydney has 2100 people per square kilometre– 21km² of more than 8000 people– 93km² of between 5000 and 8000 people– 114 km² of more than 5000 people
• Rate of intensification rapidly increasing
Population density drives transport outcomes

Today’s Sydney
Constraints• Limited opportunities to expand road network• Road space consumed by single occupant vehicles• Employment opportunities not always convenient
to public transport• Dispersed population is challenging for mass
transit
Our transport challenge

Today’s Sydney
• 17.6 million trips on an average weekday – 75% on roads• Costs economy $5 billion per year• Six most constrained strategic corridors are:
− Liverpool to Sydney Airport− Mona Vale to Sydney via Dee Why− Parramatta to Sydney via Top Ryde− Parramatta to Sydney via Strathfield− Rouse Hill to Macquarie Park− Sydney Airport to Sydney City

Tomorrow’s Sydney
State Infrastructure Strategy identifies key challenges including:
• Tackling congestion• Catering for a growing demand • Extracting the optimum performance• Building future capacity and protecting road corridors• Enhancing access to Sydney• Planning for population growth - integrating transport and land use planning
Facing the challenges

Easing Sydney’s Congestion
Criteria for clearway investigation is:• Directional traffic flows exceed 800 vehicles per
hour per lane• Travel speeds are 30km/h or below during peak
periods• The road is a strategic bus or freight
transport corridor for moving people and goods
• Alternative public parking close to local businesses can be found
Clearways

Easing Sydney’s Congestion
The M4 Smart Motorways Project is expected to provide major benefits to western Sydney motorists including:
• Boosting peak time capacity by up to 30 percent - the equivalent of adding an extra lane
• Improving peak travel times by up to 15 minutes
• Improving travel reliability by up to 50 percent
• Reducing crashes by up to 30 percent.
Smart Motorways

Easing Sydney’s Congestion
Transport Management Centre • Monitors and manages road network• 24 hours a day• 365 days a year• Cars and trucks, trains, buses,
ferries and light rail SCATS upgrade will allow monitoring of:• Real-time vehicle travel speeds• Where vehicles are travelling to and from• Efficient and reliable routes• Warn when trucks are oversized for tunnels
Urban Traffic Control Systems

Tomorrow’s Sydney
But the future will bring new challenges including:• Changing expectations from our customers who
are often time-poor• Sydney moving from being an extensively
developed city to one with a central ‘global’ pocket of high population densities
• Rapidly changing technology• Government funding constraints• Rising costs.
New challenges in the future
