WestConnex, NSW
Transport for NSW
WestConnex was one of the largest infrastructure projects in Australia. It was a new motorway providing 33 kilometres of road, including the duplication of the M4, east of the new M5 highways.
It provides additional road capacity for Sydney commuters, including 40 kilometres of upgraded and new cycling and pedestrian paths to help connect communities in and around Sydney.
TSA Riley was part of the Roads and Maritime Services’ Interface team, with responsibility for transaction management and design review. We also acted in the client role to manage the private motorway company and its contractors. Our people gained huge satisfaction from their role in successfully reducing commute times between Sydney’s western suburbs and CBD - ultimately helping to connect people across our city.
The project was not without its challenges, which our team approached with integrity and a prevailing commitment to project safety. All members of our team were encouraged to speak in a transparent and open fashion and to seek wider input into any project issues they encountered. Together, the team maintained a critical focus on supporting the client’s interests despite competing pressures to make alternative decisions.
