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 community by:

  • Maintaining access to businesses and homes
  • Transporting materials from site in covered trucks to minimise dust
  • Installing road safety and detour signage
  • Positioning light towers away from properties
  • Monitoring noise, dust and vibration levels
  • Turning off equipment when not in use
  • Using water and dust suppressants.

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