ordinary meeting of council to be held on tuesday, 26 april 2005 at ...

efforts made by the Government and contrac<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> notify residents, and minimise the
inconvenience caused.
2. Express Council's serious concern about the long-term impact on residents through:
(a)
(b)
No provision <strong>of</strong> guaranteed compensation through a minimum value clause
should property values not return <strong>to</strong> their former levels and above following the
completion <strong>of</strong> construction. Such provision has <strong>be</strong>en made for residents in other
areas <strong>of</strong> Sydney when similar tunnels have <strong>be</strong>en constructed.
The decision not <strong>to</strong> line the tunnels with material which will reduce the noise and
vibration made by trains when the tunnels are in use. Whilst construction noise
is inconvenient, this longer-term issue will impact on the quiet enjoyment <strong>of</strong>
affected residents, as well as on the resale value <strong>of</strong> their properties.
3. Seek an undertaking from the Government <strong>to</strong> reassess its decision not <strong>to</strong> line the tunnel
with noise-reducing material."
