Work Method Statement (SWMS) will describe the hazards and control measures associated with working in the vicinity of high voltage power lines. Potential Impacts The facility will be connected to the existing electricity supply and fibre network and does not require connections to water or gas. There are a number of public utilities near the site and there is the potential for some known or unknown services to be impacted during excavation or relocation/connections. Depending on the service, outages or interruptions could affect nearby properties or the rail network. Control Measures • Ensure that a Dial Before You Dig call and a services search are undertaken to identify services. • Consult with public utility providers to minimise impacts during utility relocations or readjustments. 4.16 Light spill Construction lighting will be required to enable the proposed work to install the cable and feeder connections within the tunnel during the scheduled track possession. Light spill impacts are not anticipated as residential receivers are located over 200 metres from both locations. There will be no new permanent lighting proposed. 4.17 Demand on Resources Construction materials are readily available and will be sourced from local contractors where possible. 4.18 Cumulative Environmental Effects Cumulative impacts often result when several different construction projects are scheduled for similar times and locations. A search of the Department of Planning and Infrastructure’s Major Projects register was undertaken and no major projects were identified in the vicinity of the proposed site. A search of Wollongong Council’s major development applications register and the TfNSW projects website did not identify large projects nearby that might be constructed at a similar time. There is also a risk of cumulative impacts if unscheduled work, e.g. emergency work by other utilities or developers, is required. Such situations will be monitored and addressed by the Project Manager. The Stanwell Park Tunnel DBS site is one of a large number of radio communications facilities being installed across the electrified network as part of the DTRS project. In terms of localised Page 50 of 72
cumulative construction impacts, the nearest construction for the DTRS project will be at the Tree Tops DBS site, which is more than 400 metres south of the proposed site. Even if both facilities were constructed simultaneously, it is not likely cumulative noise or local traffic impacts will result. Overall this work, as part of the DTRS project, will result in significant benefits by providing a more effective communications systems for the TfNSW network. The GSM-R system is in use around the world and allows for continuous communications coverage, the capacity to make simultaneous calls and greatly improved emergency calling capabilities. Once active, the DTRS will provide a more effective communications system that will assist in the safe and efficient operation of TfNSW’s electrified rail network. Control Measures • Other major development or works planned in the vicinity of the site will be investigated before construction begins. • Consultation with Wollongong City Council and other relevant stakeholders regarding other developments will be undertaken on an ongoing basis. 4.19 Consideration of Clause 228 of EP&A Regulations and EPBC Act Clause 228 Factors Clause 228(2) of the EP&A Regulation 2000 details those factors that must be taken into account when consideration is being given to the likely impact of an activity on the environment. Table 3 provides a summary of how each of these factors has been considered. Table 3 Consideration of Clause 228 Factors Clause 228 Factor Impacts Comments (a) Environmental impact on a -ve short-term There will be a short-term minor negative community + ve long-term impact during the construction phase as there may be noise, air quality, traffic and visual impacts for nearby residents and community facilities. The proposal, as part of the broader DTRS, will provide a more effective communication service and improve the safety of the rail network. Page 51 of 72
