Sustainability Commitment

We commit to achieving environmental, social and economic outcomes that will leave a positive legacy of sustainable and connected communities.

To achieve this, the T2D Project will:

Foster future-ready and resilient infrastructure and communities

Ensure the design and construction considers and responds to projected changes to the local climate.
Include future-proofing considerations in the project’s design.
Deliver greening along the corridor to help mitigate the urban heat island effect.
Contribute to the South Australian Government target of net-zero emissions by 2050.

Minimise pollution, incorporate measures to limit exposure, and follow legal requirements.
Manage resources efficiently across the infrastructure lifecycle, including energy, materials, water and waste. This is achieved by driving application of the waste hierarchy.
Conserve and enhance local ecology, heritage and culture. Positively contribute to the built environment.
Connect communities to new and existing services and recreational facilities. Promote active travel and public transport.
Promote social and economic outcomes, including:
- promoting safety
- developing skills and experience in the local workforce
- supporting local businesses
- driving market transformation.

Ensure the project's sustainability objectives, targets and requirements are measurable and effective. This will be based on assessing the project’s whole-of-life impacts.
Embed environmental, social, economic and value-for-money considerations into significant project decisions. This includes procurement.
Identify and action sustainability risks and opportunities in the supply chain.
Implement assurance systems to measure, track and correct sustainability performance. This will encourage outcomes that go beyond business as usual or compliance.
