Immediate traffic restrictions

The DoP reviewed the EIS and approved the design. It required the immediate traffic changes upon the CCT's opening. Without such restrictions on surface traffic, there was a risk that the CCT would add to vehicle numbers and worsen congestion in Central Sydney.

The DoP also required:

■  Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) measures in Paddington

■  the inclusion of public domain improvement (e.g. Hyde Park development and William Street urban design and landscaping).
