Sydney GatewayBusiness Update
Autumn 2020
Sydney Gateway will provide a new toll-free connection from the Sydney motorway network at St Peters Interchange to Sydney Airport and beyond.
We are bringing you this update from our homes as we join you in following the direction of authorities to keep the community safe. We appreciate it is a difcult time and acknowledge the challenges being faced by businesses.
Currently infrastructure construction projects are considered essential to the economy and will continue as planned across the city and the state.
The safety and wellbeing of our workforce and the wider community is our highest priority. Our people are following hygiene and appropriate social distancing measures and will continue to do so.
Your feedback Thank you to everyone who made a submission on the combined Sydney Gateway Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and preliminary draft Major Development Plan (draft MDP). We received 92 submissions on the NSW planning process, and 93 submissions on the Commonwealth planning process. As part of the NSW process we have prepared a Submissions Report.
As part of the Commonwealth process, Sydney Airport will give due regard to submissions received and submit these along with the draft MDP to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development for consideration.

How your feedback has changed the design The planned route for Sydney Gateway is infuenced by a number of factors including the existing roads, rail corridor, airport safety restrictions, the environment and Alexandra Canal.
Since the project was announced in September 2018 we have been engaging with you to help refne this design. Your feedback has delivered positive outcomes for businesses and communities, and includes:

Cycle and pedestrian pathways
We are committed to providing safe cycling and walking connections during and after construction. We are working with the shortlisted contractors that are currently tendering for the project to improve temporary connections during construction.
Transport for NSW and Sydney Airport will prepare an active transport strategy after planning approval, to integrate and enhance accessibility opportunities. The strategy will be prepared with key stakeholders and provide a guide for future active transport infrastructure.

Next steps The NSW and Commonwealth planning approval decisions are expected in mid-2020. Once the project is approved, a contract will be awarded to build Sydney Gateway.
Three construction bidders are on the shortlist for the contract. We are working closely with each bidder to share knowledge, drive innovation and fnd opportunities to deliver positive outcomes for businesses and the community. The proposals put forward by each bidder are currently being evaluated to select a contractor.
Once the contractor is appointed it will develop detailed management plans to minimise construction impacts to local businesses and the community. This will include plans to efectively manage noise and vibration, air quality, trafc and access. We will work with our contractor to provide regular updates to businesses and the community about planned activities.
At this stage we will also be able to provide more information on how construction will be staged, timings of key activities, details of trafc changes and how impacts will be managed.
If you need help understanding this information, please contact the Translating and Interpreting Service on 131 450 and ask them to call us on 1800 654 446.
Site investigations To prepare for the start of construction, we will be doing investigations in the project area to record the locations of utilities like powerlines and cables. This will give us important information to help build Sydney Gateway. You can check our online maps to see if there are any site investigations planned near you: nswroads.work/sydneygatewayportal
Contact the Sydney Gateway team We are looking at new ways to come together, to reach you and keep you up to date with what we are doing. If you have suggestions on how you would like us to engage with you at this time, please let us know.
