About the AQCCC

The WestConnex M4 East tunnel ventilation system is designed to take all air emissions from the tunnel, providing for a zero emissions tunnel portal.

In accordance with condition of approval B9, SMC must establish an AQCCC prior to finalising the detailed design of the M4 East.

The AQCCC’s role is to provide advice on the location of the air quality monitoring stations and to provide advice and input on the operation environmental management plans and other operational documents, compliance tracking reporting, audit reports, complaints relating to air quality, and dissemination of monitoring results, prior to and during the operation of the M4 East.

The AQCCC is not a decision-making or regulatory body, and instead performs an advisory and consultative role.

The AQCCC must meet at least four times a year from establishment until two years from the commencement of M4 East operation.

SMC has appointed independent chairperson in consultation with the Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E).
