Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of the design and delivery of Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) and is embedded across all parts of the project – from planning and construction all the way through to operations.

SRL will take around 600,000 car trips and 2 million passenger kilometres off our roads every day. Whether it is tunnel boring machines (TBMs) powered by 100% renewable electricity, or minimum 5-star Green Star rated underground stations, SRL will create lasting benefits for the environment, community and economy.

During construction, we are committed to the Victorian Government’s Recycled First Policy, which ensures that as much recycled and reused material as possible is used on the project. We also have a target of diverting more than 95% of construction and demolition waste from landfill.

With major construction of SRL East between Cheltenham and Box Hill now underway, here are just a few measures already in place to help build a greener future:
