Domain Ventilation Trial
CityLink has been working with the EPA over the last three years at ways to further support government policies related to greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency.
One option identified as part of the CityLink Greenhouse Action Plan is to manage the ventilation system in the Domain Tunnel during periods of low traffic volumes differently, such as late at night or early hours of the morning. CityLink is aiming to start a trial of these arrangements in April 2009. While changes are in place CityLink will maintain air quality within State environment protection policy limits.
CityLink presented the proposed trial to the Environmental Management Committee (EMC) that involves community representatives from neighbouring communities of Southbank, Stonnington and City of Yarra. The proposed trial was endorsed by the Committee. Results of the trial will be provided through the community representatives in July/August 2009. CityLink has been striving towards being a sustainability leader in our industry and continues to minimise our environmental impact.
Detailed information about the trial is presented in the Trial Proposal. If you have further questions you can contact us via email tunnelventilationtrial@transurban.com.
