and Tunnel, the NSW Government sought expressions of
interest to build a second tunnel to the Western side of the
harbour in July 2020.

billion over the next four years for the Western Harbor link
to go ahead.
In Dec 2021the geotechnical investigation was awarded to
GHD and SMEC.
HMA Geotechnical was selected to provide the
instruments and installation equipment for boreholes in
nine locations.
