Objection to the proposed route for the Sydney Metro City & Southwest Corridor and Twin Tunnel
Attention: Director, Infrastructure Projects

Chatswood to Sydenham Impact of Sydney Metro City & Southwest Corridor and Twin Tunnel Route. Application number SSI 15_7400:

I am writing to object strenuously to the route being proposed for the Sydney Metro City & Southwest Corridor and Twin Tunnel as it crosses from the Victoria Cross Station to the Barangaroo Station. As I understand the relevant details (see Appendix E of volume 2b, p. 6 and Appendix H1 of volume 2b, p. 10) of your seven volume Environmental Impact Report, the permanent noise and vibration levels arising from the proposed route will significantly and negatively impact on Mitchell Gardens, our residential complex of 13 townhouses situated at 29-33 Mitchell Street, McMahons Point. However, this disruption is avoidable.
I specifically object to the proposed route swinging sharply West from Chuter Street toward Mitchell Gardens while veering away from the Corporate Head Office & NSW Operations Office of Compass Group Australia at 51-35 Mitchell Street, McMahons Point. While the noise level for three of the Mitchell Gardens units has been assessed as 26-30 dB, that for other units has been assessed as 31-35 dB. In contrast, the non-residential office complex at 51-35 Mitchell Street (the former Pacific Magazines building) remains unoccupied at nights, weekends, and public holidays and will thus be less affected.

Local residents, as both taxpayers and ratepayers, have a right to the uninterrupted, peaceful enjoyment of their homes. Your Summary admits that, "in 2024, there will be ultimate capacity for a metro train every two minutes in each direction under the city." As a consequence, the character of our Mitchell Street precinct, a highly prized and sought after dormitory area, will be severely and irreversibly impacted. It will no longer be "whisper quiet."

Please see attached letter requesting modification to the planned work at Blues Point. Modifications requested are:
1) Utilise barge transport for spoil and cutting head transport.
2) Ensure an acoustic shed covers the excavation site during work.
Thank you

I'm the owner of one of, I have concerns about the potential damage the construction work will have on my property. As such, I'm making a submission to summarising my concern and suggestion (see attached PDF)

Hi There,

Comfort and fit store at 372 pacific hwy has parking at the back on Nicholson Pl to Shirely rad which is one way road. Currently customers need to come via hume street crossing the pacific hwy to enter to the car park. The pacific hwy doesn't have right turn on hume street currently. So it isn't convenient at all if the hume street is closed or right turn isn't allowed from pacific hwy onto hume street to enter into Nicholson PL.

We appreciate your consideration to take necessary actions for resolving this issue with the development plan.

Structural Engineering Advice on behalf of Cromwell Property Group As Trustee For Cromwell Northpoint Trust.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you to express my extreme concern about the proposed track realignment and activity planned at Nelson Street, CHATSWOOD.

As Chairman of Executive Committee Owners Corporation 17 Nelson St and as a resident of 17 Nelson Street, a block of strata apartments that is opposing the area that Energy Australia owns, I am frustrated to learn that you have the intention of making this a construction and drilling site for several years.

This tunnel and his construction will significantly intrude into the peace of our area - added noise and vibration.
Our properties have instantly become unsaleable.

Furthermore, I am extremely concerned about permanent closure of railway bridge on the Nelson St. This closure seriously affects us we use it several times a day and it's the only way to get home from City.

It all will significantly devalue our properties.

I have attached our submissions for your consideration.

Regards,
Nataliya Sukhova,
Chairman of EC Owners Corporation
17 Nelson St, Chatswood

I request the following actions taken seriously so that both my life and my property can be protected:

1. Using dampers instead of concrete slabs under tracks

2. Metro should NOT be allowed to use Nelson Street: Metro
trucks & vehicles access only from Mowbray Road, and
NOT via Nelson Street. This increased noise and dust
pollution from truck movements (more than a few
hundreds day and night) in Nelson St and Ausgrid dive site
will ruin our life.

3. Nelson street bridge should be retained: not demolished
permanently

4. Traffic lights should be installed at junction of Nelson St &
Pacific Hwy.

5. Strong recommendation for a "Keep Clear" sign be set up
to allow exit of Nelson St residents into Pacific Hwy: this
exit is usually blocked when lights at Pacific Hwy are either
red or green.

All details please refer to the attached PDF file.

Objections are listed in attached submission

Please see attached letter.

I writing in respect of the proposed Chatswood to Sydenham metro line.


Waterloo and the proposed tunnel(s) (up and down) will run right underneath my building.


At this location, the depth of the tunnel is 25 metres as shown at point 61 on page 129 of the EIS:




Inline image 1


Waterloo Station is the second shallowest station (behind Pitt Street) on the line and this section of the tunnel is closer to the surface than the vast majority of the 16.5km track. The only shallower parts occur in the CBD and on approach to the "dives".


In this location it is only proposed to have "standard attenuation" in one direction and "high attenuation" in another. As both tracks run under the same buildings I am not sure why they have different attenuation methods.




This is concerning because immediately above this section is medium density residential development. At this depth there is no doubt that vibration from the operating trains will be felt and cause noise disturbance and possibly structural damage. I can feel the vibration from the Airport line which is some distance away on George Street.




Due to the shallow depth of the proposed tunnel and the medium density residential use directly above, this section of the track must have "very high attenuation" to avoid negative impacts to the residents. Anything less would be simply cost cutting at the expense of the existing residents.


Should the very high attenuation be implemented in this location, I would support the proposal.


Sincerely

Please see attached PDF

The attached letter outlines my strong objection to the construction of the proposed Metro line and station at Crows Nest (Clarke Lane/Oxley St/Pacific Highway/Hume St).

Whilst I appreciate the need for transport infrastructure, it is imperative that the concerns of those immediately affected are addressed as much as possible. The current proposal and environmental impact study has not adequately addressed the impact of the construction, and ongoing operation of the metro, on the residents of the Lyall Building at 22-26 Clarke St Crows Nest. The reasons for my objection are outlined in the attached.
