Freight Noise Attenuation Program

Reviewed

Project overview

Applications have now closed.

Transport for NSW launched the Freight Noise Attenuation Program in 2015. A $50 million, 10-year initiative to install noise reducing treatments in eligible homes and buildings near freight rail corridors between Sydney and Nowra, Macarthur, Newcastle, and Lithgow. 

The Program will conclude as planned on 30 June 2025. To meet this timeframe and budget allocation, no further applications are being assessed.

As part of this Program, Transport for NSW will have treated more than 1400 dwellings, reducing impacts of freight rail noise.
