Detailed Evaluation
• Air Quality and Noise - The VicRoads (2004a) study identified the ‘Air Quality’ investigation considered the
relationship between the traffic volumes (including the composition of heavy vehicles) and the impact that they will
have on the local air quality and found that the predicted peak concentrations of all contaminants, including “worst
case” conditions in the model, are lower than the SEPP intervention level and future air quality conditions will be
within the acceptable limits. John Paterson (1975), stated that Alternatives 1 & 3 offer the best long-term protection
against traffic noise problems.
