With the anticipated opening of the West Gate Tunnel in Melbourne in early November 2025, we wish to advise that new toll charges will soon apply for transport movements across the region.
These tolls will replace the current toll structure once the tunnel becomes operational. The exact implementation date and charges will depend on individual carriers’ billing arrangements and operating routes.
All transport carriers operating through or around the West Gate Tunnel corridor will be subject to updated tolling arrangements.
Toll fees may vary by carrier, service type, and delivery destination.
Customers may see updated toll-related surcharges reflected in freight or transport invoices following the tunnel’s official opening.
Dangerous Goods (DG) and Out-of-Gauge (OOG) cargo are not permitted through the tunnel and will continue to be routed via approved alternate routes, which may also attract tolls.
We are continuing discussions with our transport partners to understand the full operational impact and cost distribution.
A review period will take place approximately three months after the tunnel opens to evaluate billing outcomes and ensure tolls are being applied fairly and accurately.
Any future adjustments or clarifications will be communicated proactively once sufficient operational data is available.
Our priority is to ensure transparency and minimise disruption as the new toll network is introduced. We will keep you informed as more details are confirmed closer to the tunnel’s opening.
