This FOI release relates to Department of Infrastructure correspondence with Transport for NSW regarding rail infrastructure planning for Western Sydney International Airport access. The first document (34 pages) was entirely withheld under exemptions for cabinet information and legal professional privilege. A second document from July 2024 concerns a South West Sydney Rail Planning Business Case Joint Steering Committee meeting, with the email cover released but three attached documents (agenda, terms of reference, and presentation slides) removed under exemptions for deliberative processes and internal working documents. A third document from September 2024 announces a second steering committee meeting scheduled for 19 September 2024, with attached agenda and slides. The substantive planning documents and discussion materials remain largely unreleased, limiting public access to the detail of federal-state coordination on this major airport rail infrastructure project.
