Clean air for the Inner West
We’re improving air-quality in the inner west by helping decarbonise the freight sector and sealing local roads that cause dust pollution.

Freight Sector Co-investment Fund
The Victorian Freight Plan Update – Victoria Delivers – includes key actions to help the freight industry decarbonise.
An $8 million Freight Sector Co-Investment Fund will assist small and medium sized truck operators trial and transition to low-emission equipment.
The fund will also create new tools for industry to assess and track their carbon emissions to encourage decarbonisation.
Remaining funding will be used to progress a range of freight decarbonisation and air quality activities over the next two years.
Local road sealing program
A further $3 million will be spent to seal more roads in Melbourne’s west to reduce dust pollution and improve air quality.
This is in addition to the $5 million spent as part of the 2023-24 budget to seal roads in Altona, Brooklyn North and Yarraville.
We continue to work with Hobsons Bay, Brimbank and Maribyrnong City Councils to confirm which local roads would benefit most from the program. These projects progresse two priority recommendations from the report prepared by the Inner West Air Quality Community Reference Group - Air Pollution in Melbourne’s Inner West - taking direct action to reduce our community’s exposure(opens in a new window).
