Transport for NSW is delivering improvements across the state to create vibrant, productive, liveable and sustainable places that support community health, safety and wellbeing.

Currently, Transport for NSW is carrying out Sydney Metro enabling work at several existing stations including Westmead, North Strathfield and St Marys to prepare for the construction of Sydney Metro. This work largely involves the relocation of existing utilities to clear the way for future construction.

Offer of alternate accommodation or respite vouchers

In line with planning conditions, Transport for NSW undertakes noise modelling to assess the impacts of construction works, including for activities needing to be undertaken outside of standard construction hours.

Noise modelling indicates there may be noise impacts at your residence during some of our upcoming construction activities at night. For this reason, we would like to offer you alternative accommodation as respite from the impact of this night work.

The purpose of this offer is to provide your household with a break from the impact of construction activities in a nearby hotel. The chosen hotels will be located locally and have a COVID-19 safe plan in place.

We understand some households may not feel comfortable taking up the offer of alternative accommodation. You may prefer to stay with family, friends or remain at home. In these circumstances we will be offering cinema vouchers as an alternate respite option.

Minimising Community Impacts
Transport for NSW adheres to strict environmental conditions relating to noise, vibration and dust management.
We understand that construction activities may cause disruption for the community and our on-site team will be implementing measures to minimise impacts of construction activities on local residents, including:

• stopping high noise generating activities at regular intervals to provide rest periods
• turning off machinery when not in use and using non-tonal reversing alarms
• using noise blankets to minimise noise impacts
• directing lighting away from residents
• conducting noise monitoring at nearby properties to ensure we comply with the project’s Construction Noise and Vibration Guidelines.

Why we work outside standard construction hours
To maintain a high standard of safety and reliability across the transport network, Sydney Trains carries out trackwork outside of peak times, mostly overnight or on weekends to minimise or avoid disruption to commuter services.
Sections of the tracks are closed so maintenance crews can work safely and efficiently while maintaining and upgrading the track and surrounding infrastructure.

We are scheduling the majority of the More Trains, More Services program night work to coincide with Sydney Trains' trackwork periods to help ensure the safety of our construction team and minimise disruption to commuter services.
