Following extensive consultation, the tunnel design was refined to minimize impacts on the environment, cultural heritage areas, and the community. Key benefits include:Reduced impacts from 24-hour surface drilling operationsFewer surface drill pads required, protecting neighbours, native vegetation and heritage featuresFurther information, including FAQs and fact sheets are available at www.southerncrossgoldcommunity.com.au.
