Impacts
As with all major infrastructure projects, surrounding communities may experience some impacts during construction. The Project supports businesses and residents to continue to live, work, study and shop in their community. Please contact us on 1800 105 105 to discuss support available if you are impacted by our works.
How we will manage our works
We will minimise impacts to the community by:
Transporting materials from site in covered trucks to minimise dust
Removing hazardous materials in accordance with Environment Protection Authority regulations
Scheduling works to reduce impacts
Installing road safety and detour signage
Maintaining access to homes and businesses
Monitoring noise, dust and vibration levels
Turning off equipment when not in use
Using noise blankets on equipment
Minimising light spill.
Major milestone update
We’ve started piling for the Tunnel Access Structure and Stabling Network Support Facility.
