COVE TUNNEL & AIR QUALITY Lane Cove Tunnel Project Background The Lane Cove Tunnel development was proposed by the Roads & Traffic Authority (RTA) and is being constructed by Thiess - John Holland joint venture. The tunnel is expected to be open in December 2006. The 3.6 km tunnel will connect the Gore Hill Freeway with the M2 Motorway. Once in operation, the tunnel is expected to result in quicker journey times between the City and the north-western suburbs. The RTA has also flagged pedestrian improvements, shorter bus travel times, a new cycle-way and reduction in surface traffic along adjacent sections of Epping Road. More general information is available at ‘www.lanecovetunnel.com.au’. Air Quality Community Consultative Committee One of the conditions imposed on the development by the Minister for Planning was the formation of an Air Quality Community Consultative Committee (AQCCC). The AQCCC provides a forum for the RTA, the construction project team and members of the community and local government to discuss air quality issues associated with the construction and operation of the tunnel. A City Of Ryde representative regularly attends these meetings. Comments may be tabled at the committee meetings via the attending representatives. The AQCCC meet monthly and meeting minutes are available at ‘www.lanecovetunnel.com.au’ under Community Committees & Groups. External Air Quality Monitoring Seven air quality monitoring stations have been established in the vicinity of the tunnel alignment. The tunnel exits near the eastern boundary of the Ryde Municipality, and Council therefore insisted that a monitoring station be established nearby at Magdala Park as a check on air pollutant levels in the area. Parameters measured include particulate dust, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Measurement commenced in 2005 in order to establish ‘background’ pollutant levels prior to the tunnel opening. The data obtained is verified by a third party auditor. Availability of Air Quality Monitoring Information Monitoring information is available at the motorway operator’s website: ‘www.connectormotorways.com.au’. Once the tunnel is in operation, the operator will be required to publish hourly real-time air quality monitoring results on its website. The website is to have a user interface which allows selection of data periods of interest and presentation of the data in tabular and graphical form. As of August 2006, monthly summary reports of the ‘pre-opening’ air quality data have been made available for public download. Council’s Position on Stack Filtration At the Meeting of the Council of the City of Ryde, held on Tuesday 8 July 2003, Council resolved “that the RTA be called upon to provide pollution control systems on the emission stacks for the Lane Cove Road Tunnel”. Whilst the design of the tunnel allows for retrofitting of filtration devices, to date the RTA have not agreed to install a filtration system.
