Regional Rail Link - EPA Report

The EPA has recently released its report on the effects of the Regional Rail Link, publicly. This is the report that outlines the noise and pollution effects that are expected to occur along the new tracks - including chronic sleep disturbances up to 500m from the railway and, in some areas, dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide and other pollutants. Despite this report, the previous Labor government saw fit to approve the RRL project without further investigation or mitigation. To view the full report, please visit our friends at Fair Go for Footscray.
