Transport Administration Act 1988

TfNSW or a person authorised by TfNSW may serve a written notice on a person under this section if—

an alteration is required to be made in the position of a conduit owned by the person to facilitate the development or operation of a light rail system, and

the alteration would not permanently damage the conduit or adversely affect its operation.

The notice—

must specify the work to be carried out, and

must specify a reasonable time within which the work is to be carried out, and

must include an undertaking by the owner or operator of the light rail system to pay the reasonable cost of carrying out the work (unless TfNSW has notified the owner of the conduit before it was installed that the installation would interfere with the operation of the light rail system).

If the work is not carried out as required by the notice, TfNSW, or a person authorised by TfNSW, may carry out the work in a manner that does not permanently damage the conduit or adversely affect its operation.

In this section, conduit means anything that is under, on or over a public road (or any other land on which no building or other structure is located) and is used for the conveyance of a substance, energy or signals.
