Environmental Issue Management Strategy Responsibility Sub Plan/CE
Procedure
Acoustic and
Amenity Impacts
The progressive nature of the transmission line upgrades will limit any acoustic and
amenity impacts in any one location. The maintenance of amenity will be a high
priority during the construction activities and have been considered in the design of this
traffic management plan.
In accordance with Condition 2.1 of the Project Approval, the Proponent shall only
undertake construction, maintenance and repair activities, and operational stage truck
movements that would generate an audible noise at any sensitive receiver during the
following hours:
• Monday to Friday - 0700 hours to 1800 hours;
• Saturday - 0800 hours to 1300 hours; and
• No work on Sundays or Public Holidays.
This condition does not apply in the event of a direction from police or other relevant
authority for safety reasons, or to prevent environmental harm, the loss of property or
risk to life. Nor does it apply to emergency maintenance activities necessary to restore
electrical supply to customers.
The hours referred to under Condition 2.1 of this approval may be varied with the prior
written approval of the Director-General. Any request to alter the hours shall be:
• considered on a case-by-case basis; and
• accompanied by details of the nature and need for activities to be conducted
during the varied hours and any other information necessary to reasonably
determine that activities undertaken during the varied hours will not
adversely impact on the acoustic amenity of sensitive receivers in the vicinity
of the site.
