Next Steps
The Beaches Link and Gore Hill Freeway Connection Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) public exhibition period has now closed. Transport for NSW thanks all those who have made submissions.
The EIS was on public exhibition from 9 December 2020 to 1 March 2021. The exhibition period of 61 days* was in line with the EIS exhibition period for both the WestConnex M4-M5 Link and Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade projects.
The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) has now collated all the submissions made and published them on the Major Projects website and provided them to Transport for NSW requesting the preparation of a Submissions Report.
Transport for NSW will prepare the Submissions Report to respond to the issues raised. Transport for NSW will lodge the Submissions Report with DPIE to help inform the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces’ decision on the project. The Submissions Report will be published on the DPIE Major Projects website.
If the project is approved it will be constructed and operated in accordance with the EIS, Submissions Report and the Minister’s Conditions of Approval.
The EIS exhibition and submissions process is handled by the DPIE. If you have any feedback in regards to the EIS submissions process, please contact them on majorprojectssupport@planning.nsw.gov.au.
*NOTE: The period from 20 December 2020 to 10 January 2021 (inclusive) is not included in the 61 days.

At-property noise treatment
We understand noise can be a source of disruption to local communities during the construction and operation of major road projects. To minimise the impact of our project on local residents, we are delivering at-property noise treatment to eligible properties. Noise treatment refers to architectural acoustic measures which aim to improve the sound resistance of properties, such as window and door upgrades.
We have developed a Noise Insulation Program which outlines the criteria and process for delivering noise treatment to affected properties as part of the project.
Providing at-property treatment is a complex process and involves a number of different steps. To learn more, see our fact sheet.
We are starting the process of delivering noise treatment before the project is approved so residents benefit from reduced noise as early as possible.

What is an EIS?
The EIS assesses the potential environmental and social impacts of the Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade during construction and operation. The EIS also includes strategies to avoid, mitigate and manage the potential impacts of the project.
In the EIS, we cover topics such as traffic and transport, air quality, noise and vibration, construction and biodiversity impacts.
The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) placed the EIS on exhibition from 29 January to 30 March 2020. This closing date was extended from 12 March following feedback from the community. During this time everyone had the opportunity to make submissions on the project. We are now working on a submissions report to respond to the issues raised. This report will be made public. All submissions made to DPIE are available on their website.
