Tender Process 2019

The F6 Extension Stage 1 will connect President Avenue at Kogarah to the New M5 Motorway at Arncliffe, removing more than 2,000 trucks a day from surface roads; returning local streets to local communities.

As part of an integrated transport solution this four kilometre motorway will ease congestion on surface roads by providing an underground motorway alternative, allowing users to bypass up to 23 sets of traffic lights on the Princes Highway between St Peters and Kogarah.

It will contribute to a more accessible, more liveable and productive Greater Sydney.

The project will be the first stage in completing the missing link from southern Sydney to the wider motorway network.

You are invited to make a submission on the Environmental Impact Statement for the F6 Extension Stage 1, which is on public exhibition from 7 November until 14 December 2018.

The NSW Government is addressing congestion, improving safety and providing more choice for how you move around Sydney.

Improvements to road, rail and public transport will ensure our transport network enables easier, faster and safer journeys. That’s why we are investing more than ever before on transport infrastructure over the next four years, helping to grow the NSW economy and create tens of thousands of jobs in the process.

Environmental Impact Statement processThe F6 Extension Stage 1 is being assessed under Part 5.1 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and has been declared State Significant Infrastructure.

The NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) has placed the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the F6 Extension Stage 1 on exhibition for 35 days between 7 November until 14 December 2018.

The EIS describes the key features of the project and assesses its potential environmental and social impacts during construction and operation.

Some of the key areas the EIS has considered include:

• Needs and objectives of the EIS

• Community consultation

• Construction work

• Air quality

• Noise

• Traffic and transport

• Environmental management and mitigation.

This process plays an important role in the development of the project.

Once the public exhibition period has closed, the DPE will provide Roads and Maritime with a copy of all submissions received and a summary of the issues raised by stakeholders and the community.

We will then prepare a Submissions Report that will respond to these issues. This report will include any proposed changes to the project in response to the submissions received.

The submissions report will be made publicly available on the website.

Upgraded President Avenue/Princes Highway intersection

Preserving community use: Rockdale Bicentennial Park Recognising the impact the project will have on recreational and sporting facilities within Rockdale Bicentennial Park during construction, Roads and Maritime will be investing around $20 million on new and upgraded facilities to compensate for this loss of recreational and open space and reinstate the facilities at the end of construction. These costs are included in the overall project budget.

Following initial feedback and engagement with key stakeholders, we are proposing permanent upgrades to existing sporting facilities in the area to minimise impacts to local sporting clubs and the community. This will include the creation of new grass and synthetic playing fields and the upgrade of existing amenity block facilities.

The identified locations are:

1. Ador Park/McCarthy Precinct

2. Brighton Memorial Playing Fields.

We are also committed to relocating the current skate park and other recreational facilities and are working with Bayside Council to identify a suitable

location. These facilities will be reinstated in the park at the end of construction.

The proposal to permanently upgrade existing facilities is just one of the options under consideration and will not preclude suggestions raised through ongoing consultation with Bayside Council and the Stakeholder Liaison Group.

Ador Park/McCarthy Park PrecinctAdor Park has recently been upgraded to a synthetic surface, and is located approximately one kilometre from Bicentennial Park.

Roads and Maritime is proposing to:

• Upgrade McCarthy Park field from grass to synthetic

• Construct a new ‘midi’ sized synthetic field next to West Botany Street

• Establish new car parking and new crossings over Muddy Creek

• Install new lighting to improve security and extend the usage of the facilities

• Install new drainage to improve water flow

• Provide new amenity block facilities

• Build a new skate park or play equipment

Brighton Memorial Playing FieldsBrighton Memorial Playing Fields is used by local football clubs and Brighton-Le-Sands Public School as an extension of the outdoor playing area for the students. We are proposing to re-configure the Playing Field into a mix of grass and synthetic fields. This design will be developed in consultation with all stakeholders including the school, as we understand it is important to maintain the schools current use of this recreation space.

The design proposes:

• Construct a new full size synthetic field

• Establish new smaller sized grass fields

• Install new lighting to improve security and extend the usage of the facilities

• Install new drainage to improve water flow

• Provide new amenity block facilities.

Provide opportunities for improved Public transport

A Stakeholder Liaison Group was established in consultation with Bayside Council, to discuss construction impacts in Bicentennial Park and reinstatement and future uses once construction is complete. The first meeting was held in late October and a wide range of community and sporting groups were represented as well as representatives from Bayside Council, the Department of Education and Training, Brighton-Le-Sands Public School and the project team. Discussions focussed on how to maximise existing land usage including upgrades to current sporting fields and making school playing fields available to local clubs.
