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 respite Our noise modelling indicates there may be noise impacts at your residence during some of our upcoming construction activities.
To minimise impacts associated with lengthy periods of noise, we will be offering entertainment vouchers to residents. The purpose of these respite offers is to provide you with a short break from the impact of construction activities.

Minimising 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 at outside standard construction hours To maintain a high standard of safety and reliability across the transport network, Sydney Trains carries out track work 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 fixing and upgrading the track and surrounding infrastructure.
We schedule the majority of our night work to coincide with Sydney Trains' track work periods, where no passenger services are running, to help ensure the safety of our construction team and minimise disruption to commuter services.
