Transurban Corporate Report FY25 Climate disclosure
Case study Preparing roads for extreme weather As extreme weather events become more frequent, it is critical we are prepared to keep our infrastructure open and safe for our customers. In March 2025, Transurban was part of state-wide emergency response preparations as Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred approached Queensland’s southeast. This included establishing teams of experts to work on protecting the critical systems that help keep our roads open to traffic, preparing to respond quickly and safely to any incidents during the cyclone event, and getting ready to support emergency responses and impacted communities during the recovery phase. Our approach included learnings from our response to the 2022 South East Queensland floods and other extreme events, and was developed in collaboration with: Brisbane City Council; Transport and Main Roads; the Brisbane Metropolitan Traffic Management Centre; and the State’s Disaster Management Authority. Our support included providing special permissions for military vehicles to access our roads as part of the response preparations.
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred response, Brisbane
Our roads and tunnels across Brisbane and Logan experienced only minimal flooding – with our team working to keep our roads open and available for the community and emergency services during and after the cyclone.
In the wake of the weather event, we provided cash grants to support recovery efforts for 15 community groups and local charities. Recipients included organisations providing emergency food and medical supplies to impacted community members and local sporting clubs /community facilities who sustained damage during the weather event. For more on how we approach climate- related risks to our assets, see page 55.
Climate risk management
Consideration of climate-related risks extends across our current operational activities as well as our longer term strategic and growth activities.
We consider risks as threats (for example, changes in patronage, failure of technical infrastructure or an inability to respond effectively to a disruption) and opportunities (for example, enabling new business opportunities or ways of working in our target markets). Climate change is also integrated into our enterprise approach to risk management.
In FY25, we updated our ERM Framework to include a new ESG and Sustainability risk category aligned to our material ESG reporting topics – including climate-related topics – to enhance identification, monitoring and oversight of sustainability-related risks across the business. Internal training was carried out using these risk categories to encourage utilisation across the organisation.
Four strategic climate-related threats and two opportunities inform our Climate Change Framework (see page 53). The six themes represent the most material and relevant potential impacts to our organisation and business operations across our three climate scenarios (see page 55). In preparation for ASRS reporting, we will continue to review these risks and update them accordingly. You can read more about how we integrate climate risk considerations into operational assets, major projects (new assets) and supplier engagement on our website.
