This is what you need to know this morning.
Trains delayed by wire repairs
Passengers travelling on the north shore, northern and western train lines are facing delays due to urgent overhead wiring repairs at Hornsby.
The Transport Management Centre said there are "major delays" for passengers on the T1 North Shore Line, T9 Northern Line and also service disruptions on the T1 Western Line.
Buses are supplementing services, but passengers should allow extra travel time.
Trains will make additional stops on the Central Coast and Newcastle Line as well as on the Blue Mountains line.
No bailout for defective buildings
The NSW Building Commissioner has warned that owners of buildings with defects will not be bailed out by the Government.
"There isn't a glove that's going to land around them and write a cheque to rectify [the problems]," he said during a parliamentary inquiry into the state's building standards.
He added that in instances where there was not a building company to seek damages from, owners would "have to stump and get that work done".
The State Government will this week again attempt to get through the Upper House its Building Practitioners Bill, which aims to provide a legislative framework to better regulate the industry.
Fears for missing woman
NSW Police say they have "serious concerns" for the welfare of a 26-year-old woman who went missing from Sydney's south almost two weeks ago.
Authorities said Chloe Baxendale was last seen leaving a unit complex in Unwin Street in Bexley on February 14, 2020.
She was reported missing by her family after they were unable to get in contact with her.
She is described as being of Caucasian appearance, between 160-165 centimetres tall, of a thin build, with long blonde hair and blue eyes and has a tattoo down her spine and an eye tattoo on her left wrist.
Federal response to koala crisis
Wildlife experts and koala conservation organisations will gather at Parliament House in Canberra today to discuss strategies for supporting the recovery of the treasured species in the wake of the devastating NSW bushfires.
Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley said it was unclear how many koalas perished and were injured in the fires, but northern NSW and southern Queensland were among the hardest-hit areas.
She said today's workshop and ministerial roundtable would bring together zookeepers, wildlife carers and koala researchers to look at how to best support the recovery effort.
"I'm confident that we will continue to have good koala numbers in the eastern states … we will gather the information we need to absolutely give these animals the best possible chance."
Anxiety widespread in schools
A survey of 700 primary schools across the nation has found that anxiety among students is a significant and growing issue within the primary school system.
The survey, conducted by the Australian Primary Principals Association, found 80 per cent of school leaders regarded anxiety as a big problem, which they felt they did not have the resources to deal with.
The association's president, Malcolm Elliott, said he believed the increasing use of social media and competitiveness are probably factors in the rise in anxiety levels.
"It manifests itself in children at one end of the spectrum not even coming along to school … too concerned about their social relationships and their performance at school that they don't even come," he said.
