✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Materials emission reductions for Logan Enhancement Project—expected reduction of 17,000 tCO2e emissions compared to reference design—principally via use of more sustainable asphalt (EME2)
- Trial of more sustainable asphalt pavement underway on M2 in Sydney (Stone Mastic Asphalt)
- Recycled approximately 19,000 tonnes of asphalt from resurfacing works on Gateway Motorway
- Operationalised street sweeping waste diversion program in partnership with Downer—128/154 tonnes (83%) of street sweepings from Sydney motorways was diverted from landfill
- Commenced work with RepurposeIT in Melbourne to divert spoil and sediment ‘waste’ from landfill for beneficial reuse
- Greenhouse gas emission reduction—Scope 1 and 2—120,617 tCO2e; 2% below 2016 baseline
