CEMP - NZ Transport Agency

NZ Transport Agency
CSM2 & MSRFL
Protection and/or relocation of existing utilities will occur in conjunction with the Project’s
construction and be appropriately planned for during detailed design. The appointed contractor
will need to work closely with the relevant network utilities owner’s contractor to undertake the
necessary protection and/or relocation works to ensure effects on these networks are avoided or
mitigated.
CEMP Expectations for the appointed Principal Contractor
Once a detailed construction programme and build methodology has been agreed with the NZTA by
the Principal Contractor and the Construction Environmental Manager a GCS on utilities
management and allied communication processes should be developed and implemented.
2.3.14 Archaeology and Artefacts
Potential Impacts
There are no recorded archaeological sites within the Project area although there is potential that
finds may be accidentally encountered. Without due care, destruction or damage to finds may
result.
Project-Specific Issues and Requirements
Consent conditions proposed record a process if burials, taonga or other finds are encountered.
Specifically an Accidental Discovery Protocol covering NZTA New Zealand Regions 11 (Canterbury)
and 12 (West Coast) is in place to manage any such occurrences while NZTA have also adopted the
Ngai Tahu Koiwi Tangata Policy 1993 relating to unknown burials. This is attached as Appendix J.
The contractor should ensure that the NZTAs Policy and the Ngai Tahu Koiwi Tangata Policy 1993 is
followed
CEMP Expectations for the appointed Principal Contractor
The guidance and expectations set out in the Accidental Discovery Protocol (Appendix J) covering
NZTA New Zealand Regions 11 (Canterbury) and 12 (West Coast) Ngai Tahu Koiwi Tangata Policy
1993 relating to unknown burials should be followed.
2.4 Legislative and other requirements
The legislative requirements in relation to the CEMP need to be identified in order for them to be
