Biodiversity 304-1
Operational sites owned, leased, managed in, or adjacent to, protected areas and areas of high biodiversity value outside protected areas
Sections of the following motorways are located adjacent to areas of high biodiversity value (National Parks or nature reserves): • Hills M2 (Sydney—Lane Cove National Park) • Gateway Motorway (Brisbane—Karawatha Forest, Nudgee Waterhole Reserve, Belmont Hills Reserve, Stretton Wetland ) • Legacy Way (Brisbane—Mount Coot-Tha Forest/D’Aguilar National Park Reserve) • Logan Motorway (Brisbane—Glider Forest Conservation Area, Sergeant Dan Stiller Memorial Reserve) • A25 (Montreal—Rivière des Prairies sturgeon habitat). Transurban is in the process of developing a broader company-wide biodiversity strategy. Biodiversity, flora and fauna management plans are maintained at the regional level consistent with local regulations and habitat. In some areas, motorways pass through areas of fragmented natural habitat and have impacts on wildlife movement. This also leads to the potential for animals crossing motorways. Transurban maintains motorway fencing and fauna crossing availability to channel animals to safe crossing locations. Ongoing habitat restoration projects included partnering with Landcare Australia on the Power St Loop in Melbourne and M2 Motorscapes in Sydney. Major projects also have a focus on protecting or enhancing local habitat where possible. The Logan Enhancement Project in Brisbane included a major “fauna bridge” and wildlife connectivity improvements. Transurban’s A25 bridge in Montreal spans a river inhabited by sturgeon, which are present on the IUCN Red List with some species listed as endangered.

Transport of hazardous waste
Hazardous waste on our operational assets may include chemicals and solvents, old lighting fixtures, drain trap sludge and liquid waste. Waste is handled in accordance with laws and regulations in each region. Where required, hazardous waste transportation procedures are managed by specialist waste contractors. Hazardous waste on major construction projects is managed by the construction contractor. Transurban currently does not have an aggregated group-wide total for corporate reporting on hazardous waste quantities.
