Covering the open drain on Stacey Street was investigated and considered as part of this project. A number of possible solutions were discussed with key stakeholders including Sydney Water and the City of Canterbury Bankstown. Due to the constraints of the existing drain structure, covering the drain completely or partially would impact the effective flood management of the drain. This would cause flooding on Stacey Street, including further down the road corridor and therefore was not able to be considered further as part of this project.

Roads and Maritime investigated the current use of the mid-block pedestrian crossing due to safety concerns. Pedestrian volumes were measured during morning and afternoon peak periods on a weekday and across a 12-hour period on the weekend. A total of 17 pedestrians used the mid-block crossing during the morning peak period and 13 during the afternoon peak period during the weekday. A total of 40 pedestrians used the mid-block crossing during the 12-hour period on the weekend, with a maximum of eight pedestrians per hour. Due to the low volumes of use and safety concerns raised by the community, we have decided to close access as part of our project to improve Stacey Street. Alternative pedestrian access is available at the signalised intersections of Stacey Street and Macauley Avenue.

Roads and Maritime is currently working with the City of Canterbury Bankstown to develop a final design for stage three intersection improvements on Stacey Street, Stanley Street and Salvia Avenue. We are currently looking at options that will minimise the impact to Stevens Reserve whilst balancing the aims of the project. The community will be updated as this stage of the project progresses.

We are carrying out construction in stages to minimise the impact to residents, businesses and the road network. The construction stages have been designed to deliver the most effective results to road users.

Construction is expected to start in mid-2018. The community and key stakeholders will be updated prior to construction.

Access to some properties and businesses maybe affected during shift hours but traffic controllers will be on hand to make sure you can enter and leave as required. If you have any concerns or want to know if you will be impacted please contact g2s@rms.nsw.gov.au.

A review of environmental factors was carried out as part of this project’s assessment. Vegetation within the project areaconsists ofmainlyplantedtrees and shrubsand does not include any native species or threatened ecological communities.

Pinch points are intersections or short lengths of road at which a bottleneck exists. These bottlenecks can occur from increased vehicle volumes on the network and growth in the area. Bottlenecks cause a build-up of vehicles and can result in travel delays for motorists travelling along the road network.

In February 2015, the NSW Government committed $300 million to address critical pinch points along the A1, A3 and A6 routes south of the M5 Motorway. The program focuses on short to medium term solutions to improve travel time and reliability for all road users. To find out more about the Gateway to the South Pinch Point Program please visit rms.nsw.gov.au/g2s

Site compound location

Roads and Maritime is proposing to use Lot 111 Mulgoa Road as a site compound for construction. It was chosen because its 40 meters away from the nearest waterway, of low ecological and heritage conservation significance, on relatively level ground, and outside the flood boundary. A Construction Environmental Management Plan to regulate the impacts of the project on neighbouring residential properties.

Removal of the Tunnel at Wolseley Street and replaced with dual right turns

In order to widen the Mulgoa Road, the Wolseley Street tunnel will be decommissioned. If we retained the tunnel then it would have increased the likelihood of further property acquisition in order to widen the road. Removing the tunnel means the cost in maintaining the ageing asset will be removed. Since the tunnel floods, decommissioning the tunnel removes the flooding risk and the tunnel being unusable during severe weather events.

4.5m Noise wall separating Mulgoa Road from Hatchinson, Huron and Peter Court

We will build a noise wall between Mulgoa Road and Peter Court, Huron Place, and Hatchinson Crescent. Huron Place will be connected to Peter Court. Both streets will be a shared cycle way and vehicle route. Cars will only be able to enter Peter Court from Glenbrook Street by turning left.
