Notification - installation of noise walls

The West Gate Tunnel Project team will soon begin installing new, high-quality permanent noise walls in your area.

The new noise wall will be between eight and nine metres high and will be made of textured concrete panels with pale blue and green coloured acrylic panels at the top in some sections.

As well as being more attractive, the new noise walls will provide you much better protection from freeway noise than the old noise walls.

They have been designed to achieve a daytime average noise level of 63dB(A) at nearby houses, which will mean a significant reduction in noise levels for many residents. Where space permits, planting will also be used to screen the noise walls.

When we expect to start installing noise panels in this area: starting from mid-March, installation of panels will take approximately eight weeks · acrylic panels (needed in some locations) will be installed mid-to-late 2020 · existing noise wall will be removed once the new panels have been installed
