Further information about the project
The Western Harbour Tunnel project is a disaster for the Inner West. It brings no benefits and significant negative impacts to our local area and we need to do all that we can to stop it.
Concerns about the Western Harbour Tunnel include:
- Dredging contaminated sediment from the harbour floor which will pollute Dawn Fraser Baths and threaten Sydney Harbour’s marine life
- Three unfiltered exhaust stacks linked to WestConnex and the Western Harbour Tunnel, with one located next door to Rozelle Primary School
- Shallow tunnelling under highly valued heritage conservation areas
- Closing Yurulbin Point in Birchgrove to the community for four-and-a-half years
We urgently need a comprehensive health study on the documented impacts of WestConnex and the predicted impacts of the Western Harbour Tunnel.
