About

The Waverton Wollstonecraft Rail Noise Action Group (WWRNAG) is an informal group of residents affected by rail noise.  The noise we suffer is far above the licence limits set by the NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and over 250 times higher than the World Health Organisation Limits for the protection of health. 

We live next to the tightest bends in the Sydney Rail Network in one of the highest density residential areas in Sydney.  The individual tracks here have more traffic than any other single line in the network, and the trains make more noise.

In fact, the EPA has rated our area as the worst rail noise affected area in the suburban network.

We have been active in addressing a wide range of rail noise issues for over 10 years and you can follow this link to see some of what we have achieved already.

We aim to reduce the Rail Noise from Waverton to Wollstonecraft.

Here are the minutes of the meeting provided by Sydney Trains.

We are preparing a response to these minutes.
