In addition, the contractor(s) would be able to propose the use of low embodiedenergy
alternatives (eg materials that require less energy to produce) for items such
as concrete and paint where they are cost and performance competitive and
comparable in environmental performance.
The required construction materials are commonly used and can be supplied locally.
Again, the contractor would be able to propose obtaining locally-sourced and
manufactured/ recycled materials to reduce associated transportation impacts (refer
to section 3.3.8).
All construction materials would be tested and certified to Roads and Maritime quality
assurance specifications prior to purchase and use.
Waste management and resource consumption during operation and
maintenance
There would be no change to the resource demand or waste generation once
the proposal is operational and therefore there would be no associated impacts. The
current road network is maintained under an existing schedule and there would be no
net impact from the proposal.
6.10.3 Safeguards and management measures
Table 6-59 lists the waste management and resource use safeguards and
management measures that would be implemented to address the impacts identified
above in section 6.10.3.
