  • Submission-In-Chief Melbourne Metro Rail Project EES Hearing Thank Y
    National Trust of Australia (Victoria) ABN 61 004 356 192 Tasma Terrace 4 Parliament Place 12 September 2016 East Melbourne Victoria 3002 Email: [email protected] Web: www.nationaltrust.orG.au National Trust of Australia (Victoria) submission-in-chief T 03 9656 9800 F 03 9656 5397 Melbourne Metro Rail Project EES hearing Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment regarding the Melbourne Metro Rail Project (MMRP). We are cognisant of the strategic justification for the project, and we understand that heritage is but one factor that will constrain the MMRP design and construction. Although the tunnelling method adopted will avoid many impacts on heritage, where works are required at street level they often intersect with places of heritage significance, which should be avoided wherever possible, particularly with regard to the Domain where it is very important to provide certainty that the landscape will not be negatively affected. 1 PRECINCT 1—TUNNELS 1.1 Domain Parklands H2304, HO398 - Tom’s Block The National Trust has heard the evidence of Mr Patrick and Mr Shears and retains serious concerns about the effect of soil stabilisation using ‘grouting’ techniques on trees in Tom’s Block. It was the evidence of Mr Lovell, Mr Shears, and Mr Patrick that the alignment should preferably go under CityLink to avoid impacts on the Domain. It is our submission that the alignment option above CityLink would have an unacceptable detrimental impact on the heritage of the Domain, which is characterised by a parkland of scattered trees dotted across lawns, divided by avenue plantings along winding roads and paths.
