Stanwell Park Tunnel REF - Transport for NSW - NSW Government

There is adequate vehicle access to both locations via a dirt road off Railway Crescent and the
access track is suitable for construction vehicle access.
Stanwell Park Rail Viaduct over Stanwell Creek is a state and locally listed heritage item and is
located approximately 70 metres west of Location 2 and approximately 270 metres west of
Location 1. The Stanwell Park Underbridge forms part of the Railway Viaduct and is a local and
state listed heritage item. No works will be undertaken within the curtilage of these items.
Mature trees surround the site along the railway corridor however both site locations are located
within previously cleared grassy areas. In addition all areas of new trenching are also located
within cleared grassy areas. RailCorp Biodiversity Mapping indicates Location 1 is within an
area of slashing and Location 2 is within an area of medium height weeds.
The closest waterway is the Stanwell Creek located roughly 116 metres to the southwest of
Location 2 and 230 metres southwest of Location 1 and flows into the Tasman Sea.
