The NELSTC 2021/22 Annual Report was tabled in State Parliament 20 December 2022.

Foreword

Following the State Government of Victoria (Victorian Government) approving Investment and delivery of the much needed North East Link (NEL) to complete the “missing link” in the Melbourne metropolitan freeway network, the Government also approved NEL to be a toll road, with the Victorian Government retaining the entitlement to future toll revenue. In 2020 the State Parliament of Victoria passed into law the North East Link Act 2020 (the Act or NEL Act) which enabled the establishment of the North East Link State Tolling Corporation (STC) in March 2021 as a statutory corporation to hold the entitlement to future toll revenue on NEL.

STC has been established as a commercial entity in the Public Non-Financial Corporation sector to utilize the value of NEL’s future toll revenue stream to meet the significant funding task to build the NEL. STC is the designated owner and operator of the NEL toll road assets and holds the entitlement to the NEL toll revenue stream. The NEL toll road assets are to be designed, built, operated, and maintained through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) contractual arrangement between the Victorian Government and STC jointly as principal and Spark North East Link Pty Ltd (Spark or Spark Consortium) as contractor.

During the construction of the NEL, the North East Link Program, a division of the Major Transport Infrastructure Authority (an Administrative Office within Department of Transport portfolio) is responsible for managing the PPP contract on behalf of the Victorian Government and STC. STC will subsequently assume responsibility for the PPP contract once the NEL is open to road users. During the construction of the NEL, STC will also be separately procuring and delivering the tolling collection capability to ensure the NEL toll road can be opened and tolled in accordance with Government requirements.

On behalf of the Inaugural long-term Board, we thank the Interim Board members for the effort and contribution that they have made in establishing STC, particularly reaching the NEL Central Package PPP contract close and capitalization of the entity.

Responsible Body’s declaration

In accordance with the Financial Management Act 1994, we are pleased to present the North East Link State Tolling Corporation’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022.

About North East Link State Tolling Corporation

The North East Link State Tolling Corporation’s (STC’s) vision is to be a commercially orientated government owned toll road operator by the State Government of Victoria (Government) that supports the Victorian Department of Transport’s (DoT’s) wider network vision of a simple, connected, accessible, reliable, and safe journey and contributes to the Government’s vision of ongoing sustainable investment in the Victorian transport network.

STC Values in Action

STC has adopted the seven core Public Sector Values from the Public Administration Act 2004 (PAA). In addition, the Value of Collaboration has been adopted as an additional value to recognise the importance of regular and meaningful engagement with key stakeholders. It is anticipated that the Board and employees of STC will collaborate to develop core principles and values for adoption to support STC’s development and embed them in its ways of working.

Core Public Sector Values (Victoria)

  • Responsiveness
  • Integrity
  • Impartiality
  • Accountability
  • Respect
  • Leadership
  • Human Rights
  • Collaboration

Core Public Sector Values (Victoria)

Refer to Section 7 of the PAA for detail on how the values can be demonstrated.

Purpose and role

The North East Link (NEL) is the largest investment in a road project in Victoria’s history. It will complete the missing link in Melbourne’s orbital freeway network between an upgraded Eastern Freeway and the M80 Ring Road. The newly built north-south section from the M80 interchange to the Eastern Freeway will be tolled. However, no new tolls will apply to existing routes.

The NEL will be delivered via a number of discrete packages of work as follows:

  • Early Works in relation to utilities relocation and other enabling works;
  • a Central Package comprising the tunnelled sections and in-ground works, to be delivered as an availability Public Private Partnership (PPP) with an Incentivised Target Cost (ITC) regime that applies in respect of costs incurred during the design and construction phase of the project;
  • four separately procured Freeway Packages to the north, south, east, and west of the Central Package, all of which are to be delivered via bespoke collaborative contracts; and
  • a Toll Collection Capability in relation to the roadside tolling system, tolling back-office system and toll communication network.

The Government and STC entered into a Project Deed with Spark North East Link Pty Ltd as trustee of the Spark North East Link Trust (Spark) as Project Co for the Central Package PPP. Project Co has engaged: Webuild S.p.A (Webuild), GS Engineering & Construction Australia Pty Ltd (GS E&C), CPB Contractors Pty Ltd (CPB) and China Construction Oceania Pty Limited (CCO) under an ITC design and construct contract (D&C Contract) to carry out the design and construction of the Central Package. Project Co has also engaged Ventia Australia Pty Ltd (Ventia) under a services contract (Services Contract) to carry out operations and maintenance requirements on the Central Package once open.

Under the Project Deed, Spark will be responsible for:

  • designing, financing, constructing, and commissioning the works in the Project Area, as well as undertaking preliminary design of the Freeway Packages Interface Zone Designs, and the delivery of certain Information Technology System (ITS) and tolling enabling works outside the Project Area;
  • undertaking all asset management, operations, and maintenance services in respect of the Central Package PPP for 25 years from Commercial Acceptance; and
  • conducting incident management services and a specified set of other operational activities in adjacent sections of the road network outside the Program Area.

STC Purpose and Role

STC’s purpose is to support and respond to the Government’s policy objectives for the NEL in serving as the long-term asset owner, investor, and operator of the NEL toll road. In meeting this overarching objective, STC is charged with seeking to optimise the value of the toll revenue (within prevailing Government’s road pricing policy) through applying commercial principles in managing the toll revenue risk and in overseeing the cost-effective delivery and operations of the NEL toll road. In carrying out this purpose, STC is expected to work collaboratively with key stakeholders and partners to support the successful delivery of the NEL and on-time opening of the NEL toll road.

This has manifested in the structuring of STC as a key element within the broader funding and delivery strategy for the NEL, including the integration of STC into the commercial framework for the Central Package PPP. As a result, STC has been established as:

  1. A statutory corporation with the ability to own goods or assets and incur liabilities on its own behalf as a public entity, though not as a representative of the Crown;
  2. A Public Non-Financial Corporation (PNFC) entity to operate on a commercial basis and autonomously from Government; and
  3. The long-term asset owner, investor, and operator of the NEL toll road.

As specified in the North East Link Act 2020 (Act), the key objectives, functions, and powers that enable STC’s commercial operations include to:

  • Be responsible for managing and controlling the use of and access to and operating and maintaining the NEL road;
  • Fix and collect tolls for the use of the NEL tollway (in accordance with the Act and the NEL Tolling Agreement);
  • Optimise the value of, or return from, its infrastructure and other assets;
  • Procure, deliver and operate the NEL tolling system;
  • Be the primary funding entity for the delivery of the NEL tollway and the operation and maintenance of the NEL road;
  • Engage in activities in relation to the delivery of the NEL road; and
  • Engage in other activities connected with the NEL road, and charge fees for those activities.

STC will work collaboratively with the Government, including DoT, the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) and the North East Link Program (NELP), in carrying out its roles and responsibilities for the NEL.

Office-based environmental impacts

STC was established with interim resources working from home for much of the financial year. In May 2022, STC made an arrangement with Cenitex to rent six workstations in its Melbourne CBD office. The Cenitex office environment is paperless and STC undertakes sustainable procurement practices and initiatives to reduce the environmental impacts including:

  • Paperless office environment
  • Leveraging the State Purchasing Contract (SPC) for large site energy consumption, which includes the provision of renewable energy certificates, noting a significant reduction in office energy consumption due to staff working from home during the pandemic.
  • The building has a 6-star energy efficient NABERs (National Australian Built Environment Rating System).
  • Banned the use of single-use plastics in the provision of office supplies to the new building, in support of the goal to phase out single-use plastics across the Victorian Public Service by February 2022
  • STC to detail environmental impacts of operations, including impacts of office-based workforce, and any relevant carbon neutrality certifications. Detail (in list form or free text) should be added around any active or proposed environmental initiatives in place

Freedom of information

The Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) allows the public a right of access to documents held by STC. The purpose of the Act is to extend as far as possible the right of the community to access information held by government departments, local councils, Ministers, and other bodies subject to the Act.

An applicant has a right to apply for access to documents held by a public body. This comprises documents both created by STC or supplied to STC by an external organisation or individual, and may also include maps, films, microfiche, photographs, computer printouts, computer discs, tape recordings and videotapes. Information about the type of material produced by STC is available on STC’s website under its Part II Information Statement.

The Act allows a public body to refuse access, either fully or partially, to certain documents or information. Examples of documents that may not be accessed include cabinet documents; some internal working documents; law enforcement documents; documents covered by legal professional privilege, such as legal advice; personal information about other people; and information provided to a public body in-confidence.

From 1 September 2017, the Act has been amended to reduce the Freedom of Information (FOI) processing time for requests received from 45 to 30 days. However, when external consultation is required under ss29, 29A, 31, 31A, 33, 34 or 35, the processing time automatically reverts to 45 days. Processing time may also be extended by periods of

30 days, in consultation with the applicant. With the applicant’s agreement this may occur any number of times. However, obtaining an applicant’s agreement for an extension cannot occur after the expiry of the timeframe for deciding a request.

If an applicant is not satisfied by a decision made by STC, under section 49A of the Act, they have the right to seek a review by the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner (OVIC) within 28 days of receiving a decision letter.

Making a request

FOI requests can be lodged online at www.online.foi.vic.gov.au. An application fee of $29.60 applies. Access charges may also be payable if the document pool is large and the search for material time consuming.

Access to documents can also be obtained through a written request to STC’s Freedom of Information team, as detailed in s17 of the Act.

When making an FOI request, applicants should ensure requests are in writing, and clearly identify what types of material/documents are being sought.

Compliance with the Building Act 1993

STC does not own or control any government buildings and consequently is exempt from notifying its compliance with the building and maintenance provisions of the Building Act 1993.

Compliance with the Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012

The Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012 encourages and assists people in making disclosures of improper conduct by public officers and public bodies. The Act provides protection to people who make disclosures in accordance with the Act and establishes a system for the matters disclosed to be investigated and rectifying action to be taken.
