compliance is an issue or environmental pollution is imminent, then the corrective actions should
be implemented as soon as possible.

approach toward identifying environmental non-conformances and the development,
implementation and validation of corrective action, this can be as part of a QMS.
4.5.2 Communications
Communications Internal and External
An important procedure for any project is the communication procedure. A Communications Plan is
required to be prepared and a designated public liaison person who will be the main and readily
accessible point of contact at all times for persons or parties affected by construction work should
be appointed.
The internal component of the Communications Plan shall state how the NZTA and the Principal
Contractor will communicate on matters relating to the CEMP. This will include a section in the
Principal Contractor’s Monthly Report on the implementation of the CEMP covering;
• Inspection and measurement done;
• Any non-compliance;
• Any corrective/preventative action required, by when and who will do it;
• Opportunities pursued for social and environmental enhancements; and
• Successful innovations that may contribute to best practice.
As part of the external Communications Plan a procedure is required for receiving, documenting,
notifying and responding to relevant external parties and the community. This could include;
• 24-hour project construction response number or maintenance hotline;
• Project website;
• Letterbox drops;
• Public events;
• Media releases or other advertising activities; and
• Methods for responding to feedback received.
CEMP Expectations for the appointed Principal Contractor
The Principal Contractor shall submit to the NZTA for agreement a communication procedure that
meets the requirements of this CEMP. This should be done in conjunction with any Stakeholder
Management and Communication plan (or equivalent) that may be prepared for the project.
