Planning for the Sydney Olympic and Paralympic Games Period
The
Toll Group recognises that the Sydney Olympic and the Paralympic Games, to be
held during September and October 2000, will have a dramatic impact on transport
and logistics operations not only in Sydney, but also in regional and interstate
areas.
Toll established a Project Team in August 1999 to
facilitate transport and logistics planning during the games. Additionally, a
Project Officer was appointed to oversee and advise on planning with the
Company, during the games, and liaise with official and associated Olympic
bodies.
The massive scale of the Games demands a detailed
and co-operative approach to planning. Toll businesses have been pro-active in
liaising with customers to understand their needs during the Olympic period to
ensure business continuity. In addition, to transport and logistics, Toll is
also addressing workforce management, security and supplier issues.
Toll is also committing resources to customers
who are Official sponsors or supplying Official sponsors to ensure the
additional requirements for delivering to Olympic venues are met.

planning activities for the Olympic period, please contact:
