Kind of related to Cloud Clutter's response, there is one option given to select TA / RA that I am aware of (although I don't work SY APP - special case for a special place ) :

http://www.airservices.gov.au/pilotc...ilotsguide.asp

PRM Approaches

TCAS Selection: Pilots may select TCAS in the TA mode or maintain RA mode on receipt of instructions to contact the Tower
So if you are given the option, what do you, or more to the point what is your company policy, on what you select?

I can understand the TA selection to avoid an unneccessary RA on the aircraft doing the parallel approach - but what about the RA on the unknown one that climbs up under the step?
