Dispute Resolution
A dispute resolution board (DRB) will likely be used during construction of the North West Rail Link project in Sydney in a bid to help ensure the project is not unduly stalled by industrial action or contractual disputes.
Former New South Wales Premiere Nick Greiner, now the head of Infrastructure New South Wales, says that since international use of DRBs became more widespread since 1987, roughly 30 such arrangements have been used in Australia.

Greiner says DRBs are in place for the current South West Rail project as well as the Wynyard walkway, which is part of central Sydney’s Barangaroo development, and that it was highly likely they would be used on the North West Rail Link as well.
