How we’re managing impacts

Measures to minimise the impacts of noise such as non-tonal reversing beepers and positioning lighting towers to face away from residential homes will be implemented.

  • Rolling stock operating on the rail lines
  • Trucks and other vehicles will enter and exit the construction site via multiple access gates
  • Construction machinery and equipment operating on site
  • Delivery of materials and equipment
  • Increased truck movements along Burrington Road
