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.

Sydney Gateway is inviting feedback on its concept design. Our team will be in Tempe, Mascot and Wolli Creek from Monday 27 May to Friday 21 June.
Come and meet the team and learn more about the project.
We welcome your feedback throughout all stages of the planning process of Sydney Gateway and look forward to your thoughts on the concept design.
We will be in the community, to understand the needs of local residents and businesses.

The REF describes the key features of the M1 to Raymond Terrace project and assesses the potential environmental and social impacts during construction and operation.
The REF document also makes recommendations on measures to manage and minimise potential impacts from the project.
The REF covers topics such as noise, vibration, traffic, air quality, flooding, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal heritage, and socio-economic, agricultural property and biodiversity impacts.
The REF display is an opportunity for the community to make comment on the environmental impacts and mitigations for the proposed upgrade.

The project has sought to firstly avoid and then minimise impacts to Aboriginal heritage within and next to the construction footprint. During construction partial and whole impacts to Aboriginal sites are expected within the construction footprint.
A total of five Aboriginal Focus Group meetings were held for the project.
Additionally, a cultural values assessment was carried out which included consultation with knowledge holders. The information that was provided contributed to an understanding of the cultural values of the broader landscape within which the project is located.
Archaeological assessment for the project included desktop assessment, field survey, test excavation and assessment of significance.
A total of 446 test pits were excavated in 15 locations within the study area. In total, 3,026 stone artefacts were recovered during the test excavation program and later analysed.
A total of 26 archaeological sites and potential archaeological deposits have been identified within the study area and directly impacted by the project.
These impacts would be managed through various management measures such as salvage excavation, artefact collection and detailed analysis.
An Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan would be prepared in consultation with Registered Aboriginal Parties, and include procedures for carrying out artefact salvage and protection measures to be applied during construction.
