Western Harbour Tunnel: Have your say on marine investigations near Birchgrove Wharf

Thank you for taking the time to complete this short survey. This survey is intended for the residents on Louisa Road, Birchgrove, closest to our marine investigations near Birchgrove Wharf.

From Friday 11 April 2022, we will be carrying out marine investigations near Birchgrove Wharf. To safely carry out this work, the F8 ferry service (Cockatoo Island to Circular Quay) will not be able to stop at Birchgrove Wharf during the works. 

Work area

Have your say

To reduce the impact to the ferry services at Birchgrove Wharf, we are seeking your feedback about working outside standard construction hours. Generally, our standard construction hours include 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 1pm on Saturday and no work on Sunday or public holidays. 

To return ferry services to the community as soon as possible we are seeking your feedback on the following by 12pm Friday 1 April 2022:

Option 1: work extended hours from 7am to 6pm on Saturday 16 April and Easter Monday 18 April, and complete the work impacting the ferry service in around two weeks, weather, sea and vessel movements permitting.

Option 2: work standard hours only, and complete the work impacting the ferry service in around three weeks, weather, sea and vessel movements permitting.

Next steps

Following the feedback period we will review the responses. We will implement the option preferred by the majority of residents as soon as the feedback period is closed at 12pm Friday 1 April, and all feedback has been collated.  

Thank you for your patience while we carry out this important piece of work.
