Your property at surface level is not expected to be affected.

Cities around the world regularly build underground rail systems in densely populated urban areas, including Melbourne’s own Metro Tunnel, demonstrating that engineering and construction challenges are routinely overcome with careful planning and smart construction, as well as proven mitigation measures.

SRLA is committed to minimising the impact of works to surrounding properties and communities. In addition to stringent requirements under the project’s Planning Approvals, SRLA has comprehensive measures in place to minimise and manage any risks during construction.

This includes:

  • offering pre-construction and post-construction condition surveys of potentially affected properties on a proactive basis
  • engaging with nearby residents and businesses about activities planned in their area, what to expect and how any disruptions will be managed.
