The Victorian Government’s Air Quality Strategy and Air Quality Improvement Precincts aim to address local air quality in Melbourne’s inner and outer west.
These initiatives are focused on ensuring decisions made on air quality and its impact on human health and the environment are informed by strong science and data.
EPA Victoria has been working with the Inner West Air Quality Community Group and Network to understand local air pollution activity.
This includes comparisons between the West Gate Tunnel Project stations and our metropolitan Melbourne air monitoring stations in Alphington, Brooklyn, Footscray and the Central Business District.
Air quality monitoring took place between July 2016 to December 2022.
This data is included in the Analysis of West Gate Tunnel Air Quality Data Report, with an overview of the findings https://www.epa.vic.gov.au/about-epa/publications/2058-west-gate-tunnel-project-air-monitoring-data-analysis
