Weather station to be installed

Transcity is installing a new weather station this week in the same location as the existing monitoring equipment, adjacent to the Dog Off-Leash Area within ANZAC Park. The purpose of the weather station is to monitor weather parameters such as wind speed, wind direction and rainfall. This will assist Transcity in the management of dust and the interpretation of air quality monitoring results. Additionally rainfall data will be used as part of Transcity’s surface and groundwater monitoring programs.

The weather station is approximately 10 metres tall and is referred to on page 11 of the Transcity Environmental Management Air Quality Sub plan, where it mentions wind monitoring and the 10m mast,  however, this document does not state that the monitoring equipment was to be installed in ANZAC Park.

Transcity may conduct infrequent maintenance and servicing when required.

The weather station is temporary for the construction phase. Following construction, there is a requirement for monitoring stations in the area during the operational phase, however these locations are to be confirmed.

Transcity is available on 1800 778 772 to answer questions about this equipment.
