Following your feedback to the EIS, changes have been made to traffic and access around President Avenue to improve traffic flow with less stopping and starting.
President Avenue traffic and access change
Following your feedback to the EIS, changes have been made to traffic and access around President Avenue to improve traffic flow with less stopping and starting. They are:
- Moorefield Avenue remaining open as a left in, left out intersection
- Installing traffic lights at Lachal Avenue to provide a right hand turn from President Avenue

- Switching traffic directions in Traynor Avenue and Lachal Avenue
- Installing an additional left hand turn lane at the intersection on West Botany Street
Arncliffe Arncliffe Motorways Operations Complex
The Arncliffe Motorways Operations Complex is being constructed as part of the M8 project. A substation, water treatment facility and mechanical fit out of the ventilation facility will be provided as part of the M6 Stage 1 project.
Underground connection with M8 Motorway

Arncliffe ventilation facility
The ventilation outlet is being constructed as part of the M8 motorway project. Elevated ventilation outlets are very effective at ejecting tunnel air high into the atmosphere through a combination of buoyancy and speed.
Once in the atmosphere, the ejected tunnel air dilutes hundreds of times as it mixes with the surrounding air and becomes indistinguishable from background levels.
Air quality will be continuously monitored at the ventilation outlet to control the ventilation system. This ensures the strict limits outlined in the approval conditions are complied with at all times. Once operating, air quality monitoring data will be publicly available on the new motorway website.
M8 up to four lanes each way
Placeholder – TBC Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Building the tunnels
M6 The tunnels will be excavated using roadheader machines and a combination of drilling and blasting methods to help reduce the duration of the excavation process. The tunnel excavation methods will be confirmed by the contractors engaged to construct the project.
Southbound tunnel
Placeholder – TBC The tunnels will be built for three lanes but initially marked for two.
Northbound tunnel
Placeholder – TBC The tunnels will be built for three lanes but initially marked for two.
Cut and cover tunnels
As the tunnels pass under Rockdale Bicentennial Park they will rise from 25 metres deep to 10 metres under the surface. This section will be constructed as a ‘cut and cover’ structure, meaning that a deep trench will be dug for the tunnels, which will be completely covered when construction is finished. The land will be returned to parkland and open space for community use
Entry and exit ramps
The twin tunnels will include entry and exit ramps on President Avenue.
Tunnel portals
The areas around the tunnel portal entry and exit ramps will be planted with vegetation to reflect nearby wetlands.
Operational water quality basin
Treats runoff from the tunnel portal and water sensitive urban design discharges it into existing waterways.
O'Neill Street cul-de-sac
New cul-de-sac at O’Neill Street.

This Motorways Operations Complex consists of the West Botany Street Ventilation facility, substations and power supply for the tunnels, car parking and a disaster recovery site.
Ventilation facility
The southern West Botany Street ventilation outlet will be constructed in the industrial zone on West Botany Street, and the design will take into account its surrounding environment.

Reinstated playground
Recognising the impact on recreational and sporting facilities within Bicentennial Park during construction, we will be providing new and upgraded facilities to compensate for this loss of recreational and open space.
Roads and Maritime is proposing to relocate the existing playground in the Ador Park/McCarthy Park Precinct. The final location will be determined in consultation with local Council and the Stakeholder Liaison Group, as well as input from the local community.
Note: This proposal is not detailed in the EIS and will be subject to separate planning approvals. We will continue to engage with Bayside Council, the Stakeholder Liaison Group and local community to refine this proposal.

Bridge and viewing deck
The bridge will be reinstated with a new viewing deck.
Memorial Playing Fields
The propose upgrade to the Memorial Playing fields during construction 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
Note: This proposal is not detailed in the EIS and will be subject to separate planning approvals. We will continue to engage with Bayside Council, the Stakeholder Liaison Group and local community to refine this proposal.

Rockdale Bicentennial Park
The reinstatement of Rockdale Bicentennial Park and the East Bicentennial Playing Fields will be finalised through consultation with Bayside Council, community and sporting groups, the Stakeholder Liaison Group and through community feedback.
We are proposing to reinstate the recreational facilities and playing fields with the potential to provide one full size grass field and smaller size grass fields.
Reinstated skate park
Recognising the impact on recreational and sporting facilities within Bicentennial Park during construction, we will be providing new and upgraded facilities to compensate for this loss of recreational and open space.
Roads and Maritime is proposing to relocate the existing skate park in the Ador Park/McCarthy Park Precinct. The final location will be determined in consultation with local Council and the Stakeholder Liaison Group, as well as input from the local community.
Note: This proposal is not detailed in the EIS and will be subject to separate planning approvals. We will continue to engage with Bayside Council, the Stakeholder Liaison Group and local community to refine this proposal.
Consultation
Consultation began in October 2017 with community engagement activities such as doorknocking, the distribution of community updates, pop up events at local shopping centres and briefings with key stakeholders, schools and government agencies. This feedback informed the environmental assessments on increased traffic and congestion, loss of property and green space, local air and water quality as well as noise and emissions from ventilation outlets. From June to August 2018 extensive consultation was carried out to support the release of more detailed project information and design and seek further community feedback.
Consultation
Consultation for the project started in October 2017, following the NSW Government’s announcement to proceed with the M6 Stage 1.
Further consultation with the community and stakeholders was carried out between June and July 2018 when the new project and design information was released.
A Stakeholder Liaison Group was established, which includes Bayside Council and invited representatives from different user groups to meet to discuss construction impacts in the park and reinstatement and future uses once construction is complete. The first meeting was held late October.
Improvement in air quality
Vehicles using tunnels reduces the number of vehicles on surface roads, improving air quality along The Grand Parade and General Holmes Drive by 0.2 to 2 microgram per cubic metre.
Improvement in air quality
Vehicles using tunnels reduces the number of vehicles on surface roads, improving air quality along Marsh Street, Airport Drive and Princes Highway by 0.2 to 2 micrograms per cubic metre.
Increase in emissions
President Avenue and the tunnel portal entry will see a minor increase of 0.2 to 2 micrograms per cubic metre due to more vehicles using this road to enter the tunnel.
No change at ventilation outlets
The emissions from the M6 Stage 1 tunnel will be dispersed high in the air from the ventilation tunnel on West Botany Street. By dispersing high into the atmosphere the result is no change to existing air quality parameters at or around the ventilation outlet site.
No change at ventilation outlets
Under expected traffic conditions for the project, the predicted contribution of tunnel ventilation outlets to local air quality is negligible.
Noise impacts during construction
This is indicative of one construction site however there are multiple construction sites to support the construction of the project.
Construction noise mitigation
Construction noise mitigation measures include:
- Use of acoustic sheds at Arncliffe and Rockdale (north) providing for 24-hour spoil storing.
- Site hoarding at Arncliffe and Rockdale (north).
- Consideration of site layout and equipment selection.
- Advanced community notification of work outside standard construction hours.

Addendum REF
We recently prepared an Addendum Review of Environmental Factors (REF) to assess a few changes to our project. Bayside Council have since considered and approved the Addendum REF in August 2020.
Our Addendum REF includes assessments of the following changes:
Ador Park Precinct and McCarthy Reserve, Rockdale
- Modifications to allow for the construction of the cyclist bridge over Muddy Creek next to West Botany Street.
- Trimming of street trees on Bay Street and installation of protection devices to minimise vegetation removal and to accommodate our construction site access.
Brighton Memorial Playing Fields, Brighton-Le-Sands
- Establishment of site offices at Transport for NSW owned properties at 65, 67 and 69 O’Neill Street, Brighton-Le-Sands for our team to carry out administration activities.
- Modifications to allow for safety improvements on Sybil Lane and construction of a new water connection.
- Construction of a new stormwater drainpipe and outlet in the north western corner of the field to about 45 metres west towards Scarborough Ponds.

Planning Approval
The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces approved the M6 Stage 1 project in December 2019.
As part of the approval process, there have been some further changes that will result in greater benefits and reduced impacts to the community. We’re making these changes in response to the Conditions of Approval.
Download the planning approval information sheetThank you for providing your valuable feedback during the public exhibition of the Environmental Impact Statement and Preferred Infrastructure Report, which has delivered positive changes to the project.
One of the key changes means we will now build an off-road shared pedestrian and cycle pathway that will replace the on road connection between Bruce Street and England Street in Brighton-Le-Sands. This change will improve safety and connectivity for the local community.
Another outcome of your feedback will be the implementation of a Wetland Monitoring Program. This will ensure wetlands within or nearby the project area are adequately protected, but also aim to minimise impacts on the biodiversity of Patmore Swamp.
