For questions about project works, please email info@metronet.wa.gov.au or call 9326 3666.

Dust mitigation management

The project has implemented the following measures throughout the whole site:

• A tough polymer has been applied to seal access roads, reducing dust caused by construction traffic and preventing it from spreading.
• Addition of rocks to slopes to stabilise the ground and reduce airborne dust.
• Weekly use of hydromulch in high-risk areas. Hydromulch is a mix of green dye, recycled paper, and a sticky substance placed on slopes, drains, and stockpiles to help hold the surfaces together and keep dust from spreading.
• Shape and secure soil and mulch piles, especially during windy weather, to prevent erosion and stop dust from being created.
• Water carts: water carts are currently in operation. As temperatures rise, we will expand the water cart fleet to minimise dust throughout the project.

Out-of-hours works

The following activities may take place out-of-hours as required:

• relocating existing utility services (water, gas, electricity, and telecommunications)
