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:

  • Installing road safety and detour signage
  • Maintaining access to homes and businesses
  • Monitoring noise, dust and vibration levels
  • Using noise blankets
  • Safely removing hazardous materials in accordance with regulations
  • Using water and dust suppressants

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we progress the delivery of SRL East at Box Hill.
