During construction there is a risk of
noise, water and air pollution. These risks
will be minimised through the
implementation of the proposed control
measures.
During construction, it is possible that
spoil may be contaminated and an
appropriate remediation plan and/or
waste disposal method will be required.
Construction materials are readily
available and will be sourced from local
contractors where possible.
The project may have a short term
cumulative impact on noise and traffic
conditions if scheduled to coincide with
construction of the Kingsgrove to
Revesby Quadruplication.
Overall this proposal, as part of the DTRS
Project, will have significant benefits in
providing a more effective
communications systems for the RailCorp
network. Once active, the new DTRS will
provide a safer and more efficient rail
network.
The proposed works are not located on
the coastline and have not been identified
as within an area that will be subject to
increased sea level rise.
Key: -ve = Negative Impact, Nil = No Impact, +ve = Positive Impact
