Building the Metro Tunnel required several steps of planning approval involving broad consultation.
Initial project approvals
Additional planning approvals
A planning permit is required to undertake certain works in the vicinity of the Metro Tunnel alignment to protect the tunnels, stations and other new infrastructure. Find out more about how this applies and how Metro Tunnel Project as a referral authority can provide pre-application advice for building and works on land affected by the Metro Tunnel Design and Development Overlay.
