4 Sydney Motorway Corporation Annual Review Sydney Motorway Corporation Annual Review Message from the Chairman Peter Brecht Chairman We are now focused on effectively delivering this vital transport solution and providing travel time savings to hundreds of thousands of Sydney motorists daily. Over the past year Sydney Motorway Corporation (SMC) has undertaken significant growth and evolution as we ramp up the delivery of Australia's largest transport infrastructure project, WestConnex. We are now focused on effectively delivering this vital transport solution and providing travel time savings to hundreds of thousands of Sydney motorists daily. We are pleased to see construction underway on around 24 kilometres of WestConnex motorways including widening and extending the M4 motorway, addressing capacity at the King Georges Road Interchange and duplicating capacity along the M5 East corridor. These projects, together with the rollout of key public transport initiatives by the NSW Government, will help tackle the rising cost of congestion in our city, which without immediate action, is set to rise to $12.6 billion per year by This year also saw us achieve a number of major milestones. With the award of contracts for the $4.3 billion New M5 project, we have now awarded contracts for projects with a total capital cost of nearly $9 billion. WestConnex is forecast to create 10,000 jobs over the course of its delivery. The flow on benefits for the community and state economy are estimated at more than $20 billion. Our major industry partners are engaging hundreds of medium and small businesses across Sydney and the state to supply services and materials to build the new motorways. Of course, delivering these projects is not without disruption and we appreciate the support and understanding of local communities and motorists. Our commitment to ensuring WestConnex is delivered in a way that is sensitive to the needs of our stakeholders and communities is unwavering. We are confident that WestConnex will deliver a positive lasting legacy across the city. The safety of our employees, contractors and the community is of prime importance to the Board. We are pleased that SMC and its industry partners have delivered safety outcomes that far exceed industry averages this year. As a Board, we are unwavering in our support of the business to continue its excellent safety record as construction and tunnelling work on WestConnex ramps up in the coming years. Sydney Motorway Corporation has also been setting the benchmark in toll-road financing, reaching financial close on the New M5 this financial year. In addition, the WestConnex New M5 is Sydney s first toll road project involving patronage risk transfer with private sector debt without a Government guarantee in over 10 years. The private-sector appetite and interest in financing opportunities continues to be buoyant. We are confident the debt raising process for the M4 Widening and M4 East due to be finalised by the end of 2016, presents a compelling investment case for potential financiers. The year ahead will be another year of progress for SMC. On WestConnex, we expect to kick start major procurement on the M4-M5 Link and exhibit the Environmental Impact Statement. Tunnelling on the M4 East and New M5 projects will be well advanced and both the King Georges Road Interchange Upgrade and the M4 Widening will be opened to traffic. We have also established a dedicated outreach program to enhance community and sustainability outcomes throughout the WestConnex corridor. As part of our Community Connections Program and in support of our comprehensive engagement program, a series of new initiatives will be rolled out during FY2017. The Board would like to acknowledge the strong support of our shareholders in FY2016, and the leadership provided by Tony Shepherd in his time as our inaugural Chair. On behalf of the Board I congratulate Dennis Cliche and the executive for their leadership and commitment in delivering this critical infrastructure project on behalf of the NSW Government. Peter Brecht Chairman

5 Sydney Motorway Corporation Annual Review Sydney Motorway Corporation Annual Review Message from the Chief Executive Officer Dennis Cliche Chief Executive Officer The WestConnex team delivered its first community project in February 2016, with the completion of an international-standard hockey facility at St Lukes Park, Concord. Sydney Motorway Corporation continues to achieve strong results while progressively delivering Australia s largest transport infrastructure project, WestConnex. The delivery of WestConnex is key to addressing Sydney s future transport needs and is a vital element of the NSW Government s record investment in road, freight rail and public transport. When complete in 2023, WestConnex will provide 33 kilometres of trafficlight-free motorway connections to the key growth and employment hubs of western Sydney and the port, airport and CBD. It will also deliver more than $20 billion in economic benefits to NSW and help support the 5.5 million* people expected to call Sydney home by During the year, we made great progress on WestConnex, with construction ramping up on the M4 Widening. After financial year end, we reached some significant milestones with the commencement of tunnelling on the 6.5 kilometre extension of the M4, planning approval secured for the New M5 and the completion of the upgrade of the King Georges Road Interchange two months ahead of schedule. By the end of the 2016 calendar year, we will have three of these projects in construction with planning for the M4-M5 Link well underway. The WestConnex team also delivered its first community project in February 2016, with the completion of an international-standard hockey facility and amenities at St Lukes Park, Concord. The new sporting complex was built to replace the ageing Cintra Park facility which is being used as a temporary construction site for the M4 East. The New M5 also reached a number of major milestones including completion of clean-up work at the former Alexandria waste facility and receipt of State and Federal planning approvals. Major construction on the New M5 commenced in August this year. We are delivering ground-breaking engineering solutions across the project and recently released the early concept design for the Rozelle Interchange. The design includes up to 10 hectares of new green open space and a new 1.1 kilometre tunnel providing a direct connection to the Iron Cove Bridge. With a strong focus on improving urban outcomes, the project will deliver a new community precinct for Rozelle which will include new cycling and pedestrian paths, recreational space and improved access to public transport. In FY2016, SMC also progressed a comprehensive financing strategy for WestConnex, successfully raising $1.5 billion of senior private sector debt from domestic and international financers, in addition to a $2 billion subordinated loan from the Australian Government. Domestic and international interest was strong throughout this process, demonstrating the market s ongoing confidence in the project. We are currently preparing for the debt-raising process for both the M4 East and M4 Widening, which will raise external finance. SMC s commitment to the health and safety of our staff, contractors and community is of paramount importance and we have developed a range of systems to ensure all actions, decisions and behaviours make this our first priority. This year, SMC, its subsidiaries and nominated Principal Contractors achieved a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of 0.24 from a total of over 4.2 million total hours worked compared with the construction industry average of 7.2**. We are extremely proud of our safety performance and will strive to identify further efficiencies and improvements wherever possible. * NSW Department of Planning and Environment ** Serious Claims per million hours worked. Safe Work Australia The successful delivery of WestConnex would not be possible without the patience and understanding of local residents and businesses within the project corridor. We are committed to achieving positive outcomes for the local communities we are part of and to leaving a positive, lasting legacy. Unlocking western Sydney s motorway network has been a priority of policy makers for decades, but action to date has not adequately addressed the challenge. It is therefore particularly satisfying to see the progress WestConnex has made with an excellent safety record, thousands of jobs created and a growing understanding of the broad benefits for Greater Sydney and NSW. Safety and sustainability underpin every facet of how we deliver WestConnex and SMC is driven by the knowledge that this worldclass project is vital to the future economic prosperity of NSW. Every employee at SMC is proud to be a part of delivering Australia s largest transport infrastructure project and the role it will play in improving our economy and the lives of hundreds of thousands of road users. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our employees and contractors who work tirelessly to ensure the delivery of our major projects and secure our reputation as one of Australia s leading infrastructure delivery organisations. Dennis Cliche Chief Executive Officer It is therefore particularly satisfying to see the progress WestConnex has made with an excellent safety record, thousands of jobs created and a growing understanding of the broad benefits for Greater Sydney and New South Wales.

Community involvement Supporting local charity - the Exodus Foundation Sustainability is embedded in all that we do and we work hard to ensure we enhance environmental, social and economic outcomes now and in the future. In early June 2016, SMC and its contractors donated furniture and bedding from a motel acquired for the project to a local Ashfield charity, the Exodus Foundation. The Exodus Foundation has been helping disadvantaged and homeless people in the inner west for almost 30 years and the donation was delivered just in time for winter. Celebrating Sydney s heritage About 700 sandstone pieces, from a section of the Pyrmont Bridge will be reused and showcased throughout the State. The sandstone has been in long-term storage at a government-owned property, which will be needed as part of the St Peters Interchange. It was removed from the eastern end of the bridge when the Western Distributor was built in Many of these pieces are from the turn of the century and are distinctive in their design and architecture. They have been gifted to the National Parks and Wildlife Service and will be reused in projects in the Blue Mountains for future generations. Some other sandstone pieces are already being used in urban design projects in the Royal Botanic Gardens and Fig Lane Park at Ultimo.

8 Sydney Motorway Corporation Annual Review Protecting local heritage We are working with local councils and heritage experts to determine the best way to reuse important heritage items salvaged during the delivery of the WestConnex M4 East. This includes identifying ways to incorporate them into the urban design of the project. Items have also been made available to local residents. Heritage features, including terracotta roof tiles, timber front doors, leadlight windows and fireplaces have been removed by hand. These items have been securely stored in readiness for redistribution and reuse. Heritage salvage and supplementary items catalogue WestConnex M4 East The Heritage Salvage catalogue Reuse and recycle turf donation to local high school In May 2016, SMC donated the artificial turf that was once the playing surface at Cintra Park hockey field at Concord to Westfields Sports High School, Fairfield.
