Poorly designed ventilation stacks at Melbourne’s West Gate Tunnel may recirculate truck pollution into nearby neighborhoods, prompting health and legal concerns.
A new engineering report warns that the West Gate Tunnel’s ventilation stacks in Melbourne’s inner-west are poorly designed, causing truck pollution to recirculate into nearby homes, parks, and businesses in Yarraville and Altona North.
The Maribyrnong Truck Action Group says the twin 50-meter vents, built with aesthetics over function, fail to disperse fumes effectively, potentially increasing health risks.
Only adding pollution filters—like those at the Burnley Tunnel—can mitigate harm.
The group urges the Environment Protection Authority to delay approving the tunnel’s operating licence unless filtration is required, warning of possible legal action if concerns are ignored.
