Sydney Trains are authorised to conduct maintenance to carry out construction work which creates noise under the conditions of our Environment Protection License (EPL).
An important condition of the License requires the Program Coordinators to identify work which is likely to create noise which is considered offensive to local residents. Consideration is given to works which are carried out, outside of normal business hours
• Monday to Friday -before 0700 hours and after 1800 hours
• Saturday -before 0800 hours and after 1300 hours
• Sunday – all day
At least 4 weeks prior to the possession and to facilitate compliance, the relevant district Operations Liaisons Officer (OLO) in conjunction the Possession Works Coordinator will arrange for letterbox drops to all neighbouring residents of any proposed railway maintenance or construction activity being conducted outside normal working hours. The notification will be delivered to neighbouring residents within 250 metres on both sides of the rail corridor or specific work location at least 7 days in advance of the work.
