Answer -

I am advised:

The NSW Government is delivering the largest investment in transport and road infrastructure in Australia’s history.

It is important that Transport for NSW retains the skills, experience and engagement of its workforce.

In some cases there may be a need to reduce the number of similar roles. In limited cases, that may result in the relevant pool of staff being asked to advise if they would like to exit with a voluntary redundancy. This is expected to occur in very limited circumstances.

There are no plans for a widespread call for voluntary redundancies in either senior service or award levels.
