Possible Control Measures
Impact on heritage throughout construction will be minimised through a range of control
measures which may include, but will not be limited to, those outlined below.
• If a non-Aboriginal historical relic is discovered, all work likely to affect it will cease and the
Project Manager will be contacted. RailCorp heritage staff and the Heritage Branch
(formerly Heritage Office), Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) will be notified as
required. An investigation will be undertaken by a suitably qualified archaeologist to identify
suitable measures to reduce the impact on the relic discovered, before work resumes.
• Should Aboriginal heritage items be uncovered, all work in the vicinity will cease and the
Project Manager and RailCorp heritage staff will be notified immediately. The Manager of
the Planning and Aboriginal Heritage Section, Metropolitan Branch, Environment Protection
and Regulation Division, OEH will be notified in accordance with Section 89A of the
National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. The local Aboriginal Land Council will be notified and
an assessment by an archaeologist will be arranged to determine the significance of the
objects and any other requirements before work resumes.
4.7 Waste
Existing Situation
RailCorp is required to manage waste in accordance with the Waste Avoidance and Resource
Recovery Act 2001 (WARR Act). The waste hierarchy (Avoid, Reuse, Recycle, Energy
Recovery and Disposal) should be followed for all projects. No current waste has been identified
on-site, but the proposed activities will generate a range of different wastes.
Potential Impact
The main waste streams that may be generated during construction include:
