Traffic Management Sub-Plan Uncontrolled when Printed: Revision D Date: May 2010 Several locations along the project area route require transmission line to be traversed across roadways. This is the operation that will cause the most significant traffic management procedures to be implemented should the closure of the roadway and the stopping of traffic be required to complete the installation. The stopping or merging of traffic has specific management requirements that are related to the type of vehicles utilising the roadway and the level of service of the roadway that is to be traversed and is described further in Section 6.1. The most significant of the roadway crossings are those of the Bruxner and Pacific Highway. Ballina Shire Council identified that there is currently no option for detours along the Bruxner Highway and the Highway conveys 15 000 vehicles/day. The Pacific Highway conveys 18 000 to 23 000 vehicles/day and has two detour points in the vicinity of the project. Ross Lane/The Coast Road and Teven Road Tintenbar Road provide a possible detour should total road closure of the Pacific Highway be required. Ballina Shire Council is reluctant to implement lane changes on either highway without a comprehensive vehicle management plan being prepared and approved. Any alteration to traffic movements on the Highways proposed by the project requires the concurrence of the NSW RTA. Where trenches for underground line installations are to be constructed, partial road closures will be implemented to allow for continued road use, allowing vehicle movements from both directions. Roadways where partial road closures will be required due to underground transmission line installation are: • McGettigans Lane; • Citriadora Drive; • Vista Drive; and • Yagers Lane. 5.7 TRANSMISSION LINE INSTALLATION IN A ROAD RESERVE Transmission line upgrades within the road reserve will require traffic management to direct traffic around or past works sites depending on distance of the project works from the nearest traffic carrying lane. The highest level of traffic control measure for this type of project works will be the closure of one lane of traffic. This will involve traffic controllers and reduced speed limits that may cause delays to road users.

Traffic Management Sub-Plan Uncontrolled when Printed: Revision D Date: May 2010 5.8 TRANSMISSION LINE INSTALLATION ON PRIVATE LAND Transmission line upgrade works on private land are most likely to cause minimal traffic impacts and require minimal traffic management. The landowners/residents are most likely to be the only people affected and the progressive nature of the works will mean that any potential impacts will be of limited duration. 5.8.1 Access Ways There are to be several transmission line installations across property access ways throughout the length of the project. The line crossings are considered to cause minimal traffic disturbance as only the resident will be affected. Despite the minimal traffic impact predicted for these locations, planning and consultation will be undertaken with affected landholders to maximise safety. Consultation with affected residents will be undertaken prior to the commencement of any construction works on property access ways. Consultation with landholders may identify alternative access ways that can be utilised to eliminate vehicles from approaching/entering the worksite and as a consequence, minimise the likelihood for impacts. Project works requiring transmission line to cross access ways do not affect a large area and consequently can be completed in a short period of time. Establishment of overhead transmission line and trenching activities to install underground transmission line along any residential access ways are predicted to take approximately one day to complete. 5.9 DETOURS Limited opportunities for the use of detours were identified across the project area. Potential detour locations were assessed on the design of the road network being of appropriate layout to simply redirect traffic without adding a significant distance or time to vehicle trips and accommodate the increase in vehicle numbers.
