Potential cumulative effects during the proposal’s operation
Cumulative effect
A cumulative loss in
kerbside allocations across
the city centre to create
additional full or part-time
traffic lanes
Some minor cumulative
impacts on the setting and
context of heritage-listed
items in the city centre
Key issues
The following kerbside modifications would occur under this proposal:
192 provisions lost during the morning peak period
134 provisions lost during the inter peak period
265 provisions lost during the afternoon peak period.
Permanent kerbside modifications and losses will also occur under the CSELR, the Sydney City Centre Bus
Infrastructure project and the Sydney City Centre Cycleway project.
These combined modifications and losses would have a cumulative impact on those people that rely on and
use the kerbside (refer to section 6.1.2). As noted in section 6.1.3 and above, Transport for NSW, in
collaboration with the City of Sydney, is developing a kerbside allocation strategy to evaluate and mitigate
these cumulative impacts. Part of the strategy realises that there is a net surplus of off-street parking in the city,
including mobility parking (as described under the Access Strategy).
The context and setting of a number of heritage-listed buildings may be affected due to the proposal (refer to
Table 6-24). This would largely depend on the final design and principally the location of any relocated signage,
lighting poles and traffic signals in relation to building frontages. There are two heritage-listed items whose
setting would also be affected by the simultaneous construction and operation of the CSELR, the Sydney City
Centre Bus Infrastructure project and the Sydney City Centre Cycleway project: Fay’s Chambers (work site R2:
Market Street) and the former David Jones Department Store building (work site R2: Market Street).
There may therefore be a cumulative impact on the context and setting of these two buildings.
