The Transport Construction Authority (formerly the Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation) is a former agency of the Government of New South Wales that was responsible for new railway projects in the city of Sydney, Australia. On 1 November 2011 the Transport Construction Authority was subsumed into the newly formed body, called Transport for New South Wales.[1]
History
The Transport Construction Authority formed part of the Transport portfolio[2] and was charged with delivering a number of major public transport, in particular commuter rail, construction projects across the greater Sydney metropolitan area. The Authority oversaw the process of planning, design, regulatory approval and community relations for its projects. Construction was performed by private-sector construction companies. When built, the infrastructure was turned over for management by CityRail.[2]
The former chairman of the Transport Construction Authority is Ron Finlay.[3] In 2006-2007 the Authority was responsible for 11 projects under construction, collectively worth over A$3.2 billion, with another nine projects in the planning phase. Project expenditure for the year totaled A$629 million.[2]
On 1 November 2011, the Transport Construction Authority was abolished and subsumed into Transport for New South Wales.
