Will there be an impact on heritage structures?
ECRIPP is seeking to deliver enhanced climate resilience to the existing railway infrastructure whilst protecting where possible the existing heritage of the railway. In order to achieve these certain interventions may be required that will impact on specific structures. We are currently at an early stage in the project's timeline with an assessment of options currently being undertaken.The project team will consider the architectural heritage of all structures in the options assessments and physical interventions to these heritage structures will only be undertaken where absolutely necessary. In most cases works will be confined to the railway line and works will be restricted as much as possible to avoid any potential impact on these structures.
Any heritage interactions will involve input and consultation with the Department of Housing Local Government and Heritage.
