• Sydney Ports is progressing final authority approvals following completion of the 100% design documentation for the ILC base infrastructure and off site works.
• On this basis, the project’s design consultant Maunsell Aecom is preparing tender documents for the main construction contract.

• The Wheel Lathe rail corridor works were completed on 25 August 2009.
• The demolition of all existing site infrastructure is nearing completion. The south sidings rail lines will soon be removed now that the north sidings rail corridor has been constructed and commissioned to provide access to the wheel lathe facility.
• Following approval of the Remediation Action Plan in July 2009, the majority of the remediation works are expected to be completed by late 2009.
• The remaining site preparation works will be carried out during the remainder of 2009 and in early 2010. These works include various electrical works and the relocation of heritage structures to an area in the south of the site.

The RTCG includes representatives of Sydney Ports, the Department of Planning, the RTA, Strathfield Council and Bankstown City Council. The RTCG oversees and coordinates the management of traffic and road issues associated with and affected by the project. RTCG meeting minutes can be viewed on the ILC website.
