Sustainability for North East Link, the M80 Ring Road Completion and Eastern Freeway Upgrades, means moving beyond just a 'business as usual' approach to one that maximises long term benefits for the environment, community and economy.

These 3 major projects are committed to being leaders in sustainability and integrating principles into planning, design and decision making – leaving a positive legacy for the community

The approach to sustainability is guided by the North East Link Sustainability Policy.

Objectives and targets

The sustainability policy covers 6 topics that commits us to environmental, social, and economic themes across all phases of the project.

  1. Leadership
  2. Resource efficiency
  3. Urban ecosystems
  4. Communities
  5. Economic opportunities
  6. Climate change

Sustainability is also addressed in our Urban Design Strategy. This outlines that our infrastructure must be sustainable, enduring, and resilient to support current and future generations.

Together with our delivery partners, we’ll aim to achieve and exceed the sustainability targets across the design, construction, and operation of North East Link, the M80 Ring Road Completion and Eastern Freeway Upgrades.
