NOTICE OF MOTION<br />
CONSTRUCTION AND IMPACT ON RESIDENTS OF THE CHATSWOOD TO<br />
EPPING RAIL LINK - MAYOR TO WRITE TO PREMIER OF NSW<br />
Notice <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Moti<strong>on</strong> from Councillor G Innes d<strong>at</strong>ed 15 April <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
I move:<br />
"Th<strong>at</strong> the Mayor, <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>half <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Council, write <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the Premier <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> NSW regarding the<br />
c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the Ch<strong>at</strong>swood <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Epping rail link, and its impact <strong>on</strong> residents <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Ku-ring-gai,<br />
specifically those living in Lindfield and Roseville.<br />
The letter should:<br />
1. Recognise the St<strong>at</strong>e Government's role in the expansi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> existing metropolitan rail<br />
infrastructure, but express Council's c<strong>on</strong>cern <strong>at</strong> the inc<strong>on</strong>venience and disturbance<br />
caused <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Ku-ring-gai residents during the tunnel c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>. Also recognise the<br />
efforts made by the Government and c<strong>on</strong>trac<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rs <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> notify residents, and minimise the<br />
inc<strong>on</strong>venience caused.<br />
2. Express Council's serious c<strong>on</strong>cern about the l<strong>on</strong>g-term impact <strong>on</strong> residents through:<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
No provisi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> guaranteed compens<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong> through a minimum value clause should<br />
property values not return <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> their former levels and above following the<br />
completi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>. Such provisi<strong>on</strong> has <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>en made for residents in other<br />
areas <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Sydney when similar tunnels have <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>en c<strong>on</strong>structed.<br />
The decisi<strong>on</strong> not <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> line the tunnels with m<strong>at</strong>erial which will reduce the noise and<br />
vibr<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong> made by trains when the tunnels are in use. Whilst c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> noise is<br />
inc<strong>on</strong>venient, this l<strong>on</strong>ger-term issue will impact <strong>on</strong> the quiet enjoyment <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> affected<br />
residents, as well as <strong>on</strong> the resale value <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> their properties.<br />
3. Seek an undertaking from the Government <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> reassess its decisi<strong>on</strong> not <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> line the tunnel<br />
with noise-reducing m<strong>at</strong>erial."<br />
RECOMMENDATION<br />
Th<strong>at</strong> the above Notice <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Moti<strong>on</strong> as printed <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g> adopted.<br />
Graeme Innes<br />
Councillor for Roseville Ward<br />
