Communities
For the communities next to our roads and beyond, we strive to be a long-term partner who actively listens, engages
and contributes to create social, environmental and
economic value. $3.1M towards community investment 5,484 respondents to our community survey Our impact ranges from grassroots support for local community groups and sponsorship for major charity fun runs to the broader economic and liveability benefits that our toll roads deliver by connecting people and businesses across cities and regions. By investing in our assets we have removed freight from local streets, and our motorways help improve neighbourhood road safety and amenity, reducing noise and air pollution. The West Gate Tunnel Project in Melbourne, for example, is expected to remove more than 9,000 trucks per day from local streets. We work with local communities, listening to and responding to their needs. As part of this, we have delivered community infrastructure such as parks, playgrounds, cycle and pedestrian connections and public art (see page 43). We also invest in local organisations and initiatives that support surrounding communities.
