Environmental sustainability Transurban Queensland is committed to minimising the impact and operation of the go via network on the environment.

As part of the current Detailed Proposal phase, Transurban Queensland is working closely with the relevant environmental stakeholders to proactively manage environmental and cultural issues. The project will be largely delivered within the existing road corridor and adjacent to the recently constructed recycled water pipeline—therefore it is expected that no private property would need to be acquired for the project.
