M4-M5 Link Iron Cove Link factsheet | 2017

WestConnex is part of the Australian and NSW governments’ vision for supporting Sydney’s growing population and keeping our economy strong. The M4-M5 Link is the third stage of WestConnex. It will link the New M4 Motorway at Haberfield to the New M5 Motorway at St Peters, with additional connections to the Iron Cove Bridge and Rozelle Interchange.

Iron Cove Link civil site To support the construction of the Iron Cove Link, a construction site would be established on Victoria Road between Springside Street and the Iron Cove Bridge. The site would mainly be used to support construction of the Iron Cove Link surface works, including tunnel entry and exit ramps, upgrades, and modifications to the eastbound and

westbound carriageways of Victoria Road. It would also be used to support construction of a bioretention facility within an informal car park in King George Park, adjacent to Manning Street at Rozelle. As part of these works, a section of the existing car park would be upgraded, including sealing the car park surface and landscaping.

The site would include temporary offices, a workshop and storage facilities; sediment basin and construction water treatment plant; a temporary substation; workforce amenities; and car parking. During operation, a portion of the site would be occupied by the Iron Cove Link motorway operations complex, including the Iron Cove Link ventilation facility. In addition, a ventilation outlet would

be constructed between the eastbound and westbound carriageways of Victoria Road near Springside Street.

There is no intention to operate roadheaders at this site (as tunnel excavation of the Iron Cove Link is anticipated to occur from the Rozelle civil and tunnel site), however the site may be used to support limited excavation of the initial sections of the Iron Cove Link tunnels.

M4-M5 Link Iron Cove Link factsheet | 2017

Standard hours of workSurface works Above-ground construction work would be carried out between the following standard construction hours:

● 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday

● 8am to 1pm Saturday

● Generally, no work on Sundays or public holidays

● Where work is required outside of these hours it would be conducted in accordance with conditions of approval and Environment Protection Licence conditions.

Traffic and TransportTemporary changes to the local road network would be necessary to allow for construction of the Iron Cove Link civil and tunnel site. The Clubb Street/Victoria Road intersection would be permanently closed.

The Toelle Street and Callan Street intersections with Victoria Road would generally remain open during construction. These sections may be closed temporarily but this would be short-term and conducted during non-peak times where practical.

Westbound pedestrian and cyclist routes along Victoria Road would be temporarily diverted via Moodie, Manning and Byrnes streets. These would connect with the westbound shared-path along Victoria Road via the terminus at Byrnes Street. Once construction is complete, the pedestrian and cyclist network would be reinstated.

A section of King George Park would be used to support the widening works along Victoria Road. The Bay Run would be temporarily realigned to retain pedestrian and cycle connectivity with the path over the Iron Cove Bridge. The existing arrangement would be reinstated once construction has been completed.

Minimising impacts on the community WestConnex is working to minimise the impact of construction on the community, with most of the proposed work to occur underground. However, some work would need to occur on the surface to construct the entry and exits to the tunnels and to build tunnel support facilities.

The M4-M5 Link Environmental Impact Statement outlines in detail the measures to mitigate any potential construction impacts.

Minimising noiseTo minimise noise impacts during construction, several mitigation measures will be in place. These include:

● Providing noise barriers and an acoustic shed to house tunnelling activity

● Undertaking noisy work during core work hours, where appropriate

● Ensuring all equipment is shut down when not in use and non-tonal reversing beepers used

● Ensuring there are periods where construction work is not scheduled to give residents respite.

Protecting propertyTo provide peace-of-mind to local residents and businesses, all properties within 50 metres of the outer edge of the underground tunnels will be offered a property condition survey before construction, with a follow-up survey (for the property) after construction. This will ensure there is a clear record of the property’s condition before and after construction. In the unlikely event there is any damage attributed to the project it would be repaired at no cost to the property owner.

Future land useFollowing construction there will be pockets of residual land remaining on Victoria Road between Springside Street and the Iron Cove Bridge. An Urban Design and Landscape Plan (UDLP) would be prepared prior to the commencement of permanent built-surface-works and landscaping. It would identify and establish urban design and landscaping initiatives for the area including any permanent noise mitigation structures such as noise barriers. The UDLP would be prepared in consultation with stakeholders and the community.
