# Sydney: Workload Management

> Sydney: Workload Management: frequencies, local rules and operational references.

Workload Management at Sydney (YSSY).

## Sydney Coordinator

Sydney Coordinator is activated to reduce frequency congestion on SMC and ensure compliance with pre-determined slot times. The position is only beneficial with large amounts of traffic and when performed carefully and deliberately. When Coordinator is online, all departures are first directed to them prior to the SMC frequency, thus reducing one radio call per aircraft on the SMC frequency.

Sydney Coordinator is a non-standard position which may only be used in accordance with VATPAC Air Traffic Services Policy.

The responsibilities of Sydney Coordinator may be delegated to ACD when there is high SMC workload but no seperate Coordinator controller available. This should be reflected in the ATIS accordingly.

Refer to Pushback Requests on ACD for detailed procedures.
