Sustainability Report Annual Sustainability Report – Gateway WA June 2016 Annual Sustainability Reporting Period Covering July 2015 to June 2016 Template for Major Projects with IS commitments This reporting template is to be used as a basis for a MRWA major project to produce a stand-alone sustainability report. While these indicators are a basis to what the report should include the author should be aware that they produce a report targeted at the intended report audience (it is linked to MRWA's Annual and Sustainability Report) and it should include all information necessary so that it can be read as a stand-alone report. This report is also an opportunity for the project to showcase its sustainability credentials and strengthen the project partners reputation for sustainable development. The indicators below are loosely based on the indicators of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) v4. Main Roads encourages the use of GRI principles when developing a public sustainability report for a major project and many of the indicators can be explained or defined further by referring to the information and guidance available via the GRI website. Data from the monthly reporting should also be considered for inclusion in the reporting. Project Name Gateway WA Topic What to report?

Tonkin Highway is a critical link in the Perth Road network helping to form a major ring road system around the eastern side of the city. It carries significant freight volumes and passenger vehicles through all hours of the day and this volume is expected to grow in the future. This particular area of the network is especially complex. In a distance of just over 8 kilometres, Tonkin Highway intersects with three of Perth’s major highways and the access roads to the Kewdale industrial area and airport terminals.

Provide a case study of an initiative or achievement Tonkin Highway / Leach Highway interchange design refinement. The original design provided for free-flow movements to save operational fuel and emissions in the long term. The refinement of the design through extensive design iterations resulted in the design of shallower baths which require less dewatering during construction and operation. This was achieved through a combination of varied road geometry, a shallower structural depth on bridges, and gaining approval from relevant authorities for partial penetration of aviation constraint surfaces. The length of concrete bath structures was also considerably reduced, with consequent reduction in demand for high- energy materials such as cement concrete. Drainage along Leach Hwy way changed from pumped to gravity system, eliminating operational energy requirements in the long term High modulus asphalt – The changing of asphalt binder from the traditional Class 320 bitumen to Class 600 was adopted to enable a higher modulus asphalt, which in turn means a thinner deep lift asphalt pavement for the same design life of 40 years. This resulted in an approximate 10 percent reduction in total asphalt quantity for the project. This is not only a significant cost saving but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Minimising total earthworks volume by optimising road geometry (e.g. lower embankments, raise cuttings) and minimising imported fill quantity and haul distance (e.g. maximise cut-to-fill and finding closer sources of imported) Purchase of two electric cars in the ‘pool’ fleet to encourage more serious consideration of cleaner, more efficient transport energy sources Use of LED street-lighting through the aviation constraints area, rather than the traditional HPS luminaires. 4 Topic What to report?

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 16 June 2016] p3582b-3583a Mrs Glenys Godfrey; Mr Dean Nalder GATEWAY WA PROJECT — TRAFFIC NOISE Grievance MRS G.J. GODFREY (Belmont) [9.29 am]: My grievance this morning is to the Minister for Transport. Gateway WA was designed to cater for an expected doubling by 2030 of both passenger air travel and freight and container transport in the Kewdale area. The project also helped by addressing some of the state’s most accident-prone intersections. The Gateway WA project began in 2013 and was funded with $676 million in federal government funds and $310 million from the state government. The Gateway WA project is to date the largest road project undertaken by Main Roads and I was pleased to attend the official opening in April this year along with the Prime Minister, Hon Malcom Turnbull, MP; the federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Hon Darren Chester, MP; the state Minister for Transport, Hon Dean Nalder, MLA; and the federal member for Swan, Steve Irons, MP. The Gateway project has produced some impressive statistics—165 lane kilometres of road constructed, 460 000 tonnes of asphalt laid, 21 kilometres of principal shared path built for cyclists and pedestrians, the planting of over one million plants, approximately 1 000 people working on the project at its peak, 11 bridges built, four new interchanges constructed, seven intersection upgrades, the widening of Tonkin Highway to six lanes between Great Eastern Highway and Roe Highway, and the upgrade of Leach Highway to an expressway standard from Orrong Road to Perth Airport.

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Tuesday, 10 May 2016] p2484c-2485a Hon Helen Morton GATEWAY WA PROJECT Statement HON HELEN MORTON (East Metropolitan) [9.47 pm]: I wanted to congratulate everybody involved in the very successful completion of the Perth Airport and freight access project. The project has delivered a really safe and more efficient transport network around Perth Airport and the freight and industrial areas of Kewdale and Forrestfield. The project began in 2013 and the full scope of the works was completed by the end of the first quarter of 2016. It was opened on 12 April 2016 by the Prime Minister, the state transport minister, Hon Dean Nalder, and the federal transport minister, Hon Darren Chester; many other members of Parliament were there to celebrate the very successful project. It was completed ahead of the planned consolidation of the domestic and international Perth Airport terminals, which was an important milestone for that project. The project is valued at around about $1 billion and is the largest road project undertaken to date in Perth. The federal government contributed $676 million and the state government $310 million. The Gateway WA project, as it is referred to, is a stunning success in every respect. I use that road nearly every day and marvel at how easy and safe it is, and at the pure enjoyment of travelling from Kalamunda to the city now that that project has been completed. It will be enjoyed by thousands of people for decades to come. This project is a fantastic asset for Western Australia and for all Western Australians.
