Depends on the Reserve. Some have allowances for mining under them. Some reserves vary in the depth of their application.

If only electric vehicles can use the tunnel, it should be possible to avoid fume extraction stacks.
It doesn't make economic sense, but it makes environmental sense. Why consume energy to get Lithgow-bound vehicles up to 1000m above sea level, only to take them down Victoria Pass?

It's good idea and will probably happen one day but I think a high speed train Wollongong/Sydney/Newcastle would be higher up the list.
