4 Project Description
The Croydon Station Upgrade is part of the Transport Access Program, a TfNSW initiative to
provide a better experience for public transport customers by delivering accessible, modern,
secure and integrated transport infrastructure. The purpose is to improve pedestrian access to and
from the station, increase the stations ability to cope with the predicted future customer demands,
improve pedestrian flow, passenger information services and wayfinding between transport modes.
The station is located in the suburb of Croydon. It is situated in the Burwood and Ashfield local
government areas (LGA). There is commercial activity along The Strand and Hennessy Street, and
residential development along Paisley Road.

ensure there are “no surprises” for stakeholders, the community, TfNSW and the wider
project team.
do what we say we will do.
conduct ourselves professionally in all that we do.
actively look for opportunities to incorporate the community and stakeholder suggestions in
the design, construction and delivery phases of the project.
support the project team in their relationships with key project stakeholders (i.e. authority
interfaces.
6 Authority Liaison
The Safety, Quality, Community and Environment Manager and Community Engagement Officer
will develop and build strong working relationships with key project stakeholders and authorities in
conjunction with the project team.

nominated authority representative with the appropriate Project representative to interface during
the various stages of the works.

From a community perspective, all personnel are expected to understand the importance of being
a “good neighbour” on site and respecting the community. This includes:
The Induction has been submitted to TfNSW for review and approval prior to being rolled out on
the project. The “Onsite Track Easy” system will be implemented as an on-line induction system.
This is then followed up with a face-to-face induction when a person comes to site for the first time.
Daily and weekly Toolbox Inductions will also occur, introducing Safety Alerts, revisiting parts of
the formal Induction and reminding staff and subcontractors of the project requirements.

In addition to stakeholder engagement, the CMS will be used to record all project related articles
(paper and web based) and any online discussions.
The aim of the CMCG is to provide a forum to exchange information and coordinate
communication and consultation activities with other Contractors and TfNSW to ensure a
consistent approach to the community and other stakeholders is delivered.
At these meetings:
The CMCG will meet fortnightly to coordinate communications activities and messages for
all programmed works (or less frequently if determined by TfNSW).
The project will provide a table of current and upcoming activities, likely impacts and
proposed communication strategies.
The project will provide a list of any current or emerging issues and/or any promotional
opportunities.
The meetings will be minuted by TfNSW and project team members will be invited as
required to provide input.
