WELCOME TO THE 3rd ANNUAL
NSW TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
LEADERS 2016
We are currently amidst rebuilding the future of our
NSW cities, with the billions from electricity
transactions assured, the NSW economy being
boosted by a $600 billion investment in infrastructure,
and $38 billion to be spent on roads and transport
projects alone.
With Sydney’s congestion problems on the rise, already
costing us around $5 billion per year (equivalent to
an annual cost of $1,100 per Sydney-sider) – there is a
significant investment and focus on designing the right
infrastructure and rebuilding NSW cities for a better
future.
Currently, NSW transport infrastructure is being
identified, planned, funded and managed along 46
strategic corridors that define the peak demand for
travel to centres in Sydney. User pricing schemes
are being proposed, new motorways are under
construction; fast, heavy and light rail schemes
are lobbied for. However, there is still a significant
discrepancy in stating how precinct planning is being
undertaken and the reality; and how we define the
value attached to social amenity and accessibility vs.
affordability and value for money.
Bringing together industry and project leaders, the
3rd Annual NSW Transport Infrastructure Leaders
2016 conference is specifically designed to address
the existing challenges in planning, operating and
maintaining major transport infrastructure projects
in NSW, versus the integration of these projects into
smarter cities.
Along with focusing on ensuring current projects are
delivered on time, on budget and meet long term
objectives; we will delve into:
¡ Biggest challenges in developing the current major
transport infrastructure projects in the pipeline
¡ Developing an equitable value-sharing model or
alternative funding structures
¡ Urban renewal, residential policy, and strategy
property development discussion
¡ Road user pricing schemes to ensure optimal social
and environmental outcomes in our cities
¡ Managing disruption during the construction phase
of major transport infrastructure projects
¡ Addressing Western Sydney’s locational
opportunities being created by the region’s
significant growth

14:00 – 16:00
Global Experience Discussion: Sharing Economy Reshaping the City
In this session, Greg will discuss Arup’s global experience suggesting that technology used to maximise customer
experience can best utilise and exploit existing transport infrastructure. Transport isn’t just competing modes that
shuttle people from A to B, and to best utilise and exploit existing transport infrastructure, we need to overlay useful
technology to maximise customer experience. In this workshop, you will also:
¡ Analyse how to bring together large physical assets, disparate network systems, and high-level technological
sophistication, in a human way, to offer a huge pay-off
¡ Work through case-studies that describe a low-risk progressive vision for operating model, technology, and end-
user engagement

long term transport master plan that is now known as
the Strategic Transport Planning Framework.
Simon Hunter
Executive Director, Transport Strategy,
Transport for NSW
09:40 The Current Challenges, Gaps, and Opportunities
for Sydney CBD Transport Infrastructure
The renewed Federal Government interest in urban
transport projects comes at a critical time for state
governments, who are facing the dual challenge of
strained transport networks and housing affordability
pressures, along with constraints on budgets. At a
city level, we see growing employment and a rapid
increase in the inner city population as high density
urban renewal is underway. In this session, Bryony will
discuss:
¡ City of Sydney transport policy and planning
and interface challenges as new infrastructure is
delivered
¡ Tackling economic productivity and the liveability
of the City as transport infrastructure projects are
underway
¡ The future gaps and opportunities in providing
transport to meet long term needs
Bryony Cooper
Executive Manager, City Access and Transport, City
of Sydney
10:10 Decision makers – more information makes for
better decisions!
¡ How do you decide where to invest billions of
dollars in transport infrastructure?
¡ How do you deal with the extensive public
scrutiny required through consultation and social
media?
¡ Information is the key!
The latest survey technologies allow us to collect an
abundance of information. Early collection of
information on travel patterns, traffic flows, noise,
and pollution baselines empowers a robust analysis
as the project progresses. Avoiding or delaying data
collection can come back to haunt you!
Brian Camilleri
Principal Director, ttm

12:00 Discussion of the Delivery of the $10.7 billion Inland
Rail Programme
The Australian Inland Rail network seeks to connect
two of Australia’s largest cities, through NSW, with
a dedicated rail line. The aim of the project is to
reduce a range of sectors’ significant reliance on
freight trucks. The new rail network will reduce the
number of trucks on the road, reduce transportation
costs, reduce the environmental impact of freight
transportation and speed up transport. The project,
and its more than 1,700 kilometres of track, is
calculated to cost $10.7 billion, and take 10 years
to construct. Simon will further elaborate on the
programme.
Simon Thomas
Inland Rail Programme Director, ARTC

Tim Poole
Project Director, Transport for NSW
Greg Dyer
CEO, Parramatta City Council
13:10 LUNCH AND NETWORKING BREAK
13:50 Cost Affordability vs. Managing Outcomes
Disruptions to Sydney
The industry is moving away from minimising
disruption during the construction phase of major
transport infrastructure projects, to focusing on
the product outcome and cost, and managing the
“disruption” accordingly. “Disruption” is becoming
an outmoded description. We are seeing, around
the world, community acceptance and support of
movement changes during construction on the
condition that the outcome is quality and value. In
this session, Andrew will discuss:

09:00 How to Use Land Integration in Planning
and Funding Transport Infrastructure
¡ Increasing acceptance that some impacts on land
value of transport infrastructure should be used to
fund investment in transport infrastructure
¡ Little acceptance yet that impacts on land value
should also be taken into account for investment

value impacts
David Adams
Technical Director, Aurecon
09:30 Morning Tea Networking Break
10:00 Future Outlook for Public Transport in NSW:
Planning Designing Systems and Intermodal
Interchanges
¡ Discussion around potential for fast train service
¡ How do you interconnect existing bus and train
systems as seamlessly as possible?
¡ No catenary power for passing the route
to blend in with historical areas, and relying
on battery power to reconnect
Simon Ginn
Senior Project Officer, Parramatta City Council
10:30 Merging Urban Development, Land Use and
Transport Planning for Sustainable Urban Transport
Networks
Residential and commercial development is
coincidently linked to transport planning. New
transportation infrastructure can help shape the land
use by increasing accessibility of sites and mobility
of site users. Transport will always be about con-
necting people but in today’s urban communities it
is important for residential and commercial planning
to be concurrent to transport infrastructure
development.
¡ Development in urban area’s reduce the need to
travel and the length of the journeys making it
easier for people to use alternative means
of transport
¡ Create communities where transport and land use
management support the achievement
of quality of life outcomes
¡ Future transport will lead to the drives of new
densities for urban living
Chris Johnson
CEO, Urban Taskforce
11:00 Improving the Productivity and Liveability
of Industry and Communities
¡ The value of aligning NSW’s transport
infrastructure projects to an industry community
of practice that spans from planning to design
construction and operation of all infrastructure
¡ Driving competitive incremental change through
benchmarking against beyond business as usual
industry developed performance outcomes
¡ ISCA’s role in improving the productivity
and liveability of industry and communities
Antony Sprigg
CEO, Infrastructure Sustainability Council
of Australia (ISCA)
11:30 Lunch Networking Break
12:30 Addressing Western Sydney’s Locational
Opportunities Being Created by the Region’s
Significant Growth: Badgerys Creek
¡ Evaluating how the delivery authority for the
airport will be chosen
¡ Assessing governance and master plan for delivery
and creek/transport connections
¡ Why should/shouldn’t the project go ahead
¡ Identifying current issues with project planning
David Borger
Director, Sydney Business Chamber Western Sydney
13:00 Developing an Equitable Value-Sharing Model
There is a need to elevate the debate on equitable
distribution of the infrastructure public spend by
recourse to a transparent metric, particularly as
infrastructure, along with property decisions, is
so amenable to ethical conflicts demonstrated by
endemic pork-barrelling and political preference.
This presentation will invite respectful dialogue and
touch on the following themes:
¡ Is value-capture the latest weasel word for
the conventional infrastructure development
narrative?
¡ Re-weighting consumer rights from user pays to
user gets – towards a transport service charter.
¡ Confronting the wicked problem of equitable
distribution by invoking policy rather than power
in infrastructure decision making.
¡ Non-capital city growth hubs and the strategic
gravitas of policies for cities, regional capitals and
evo cities.
¡ An elliptical peek over the horizon: implications of
the NSW Inter-Generational Report for transport
infrastructure futures.

14:30 Why Technology is No Substitute for Good Policy
by Governments
Whether it be a associated with demand/congestion
management or dealing with issues that limit road
capacity from time to time, Charles will discuss why
technology is no substitute
for good policy by governments.
¡ Why deficiencies in the core transport task cannot
be fixed by technology
¡ Technology does not add capacity but it can
moderate demand and behaviours
¡ Effective government policy, both strategic
and tactical is key
¡ Innovation is good but sometimes we need
to “go back to the basics”'
Charles Casuscelli
CEO, Western Sydney Regional Organisation
of Council
Disruptive Innovation that is Forcing Change on
Transport Networks and the Design of our Cities
Smart cities have changed priorities to reduce traffic
congestion, pollution and energy use. Reshaping
transport networks and fossil fuel vehicles is
being vigorously opposed by vehicle owners and
entrenched vested interests. However, tech savvy
customers are demanding new and innovative
automated driving assistance to increase digital
connectivity, safety and collision avoidance.
This session will examine the birth pangs of disruptive
innovation that are forcing change on transport
networks and the design of our cities.
¡ Analysing the possibilities fluid traffic flows of
driverless cars will have on the redesign of the
inner city through compression of traffic lanes and
reconfiguration of streets
¡ Illuminating better integration and management of
collective city transport for door-to-door seamless
multi-modality
¡ Examining improved urban freight logistics and
distribution from a smart city perspective, in the
face of disruptive innovation in the vehicle industry
David Wilson
Principal Transport Planner, Transport Networks
Freight, Strategy and Planning, Transport for NSW
Operating A Passenger-Centric Transport Network
¡ Benefits of multimodal network design
and operation
¡ How a multimodal approach can deliver
urban renewal
