COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONReview of Environmental FactorsGlenbrook commuter car park and interchange upgradeUnder the Infrastructure SEPP, consultation is required with local councils or public authorities in certaincircumstances including where council‐managed infrastructure is affected, or where local heritage itemsare affected. Additional consultation that is optional under the Infrastructure SEPP may include, but is notlimited to:• direct notification to other community stakeholders and/or• public display of the REF.Community consultation activities for the Proposal would be undertaken during public display of this REF.The REF would be displayed for a period of approximately two weeks. For further details refer to Section5.During this period, the REF would also be available for viewing at Blue Mountains City Council’s office,Blaxland Library and Transport for NSW’s office in Chatswood and via download from the Transport forNSW’s website. Furthermore, an information line (1800 684 490) would be available for the public tomake enquires about the Proposal.Transport for NSW would review and assess all feedback received during the public display period prior todetermining whether or not to proceed with the Proposal.Should the Proposal proceed to construction, the community and Blue Mountains City Council (BMCC)would be kept informed throughout the duration of the construction period.ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND SAFEGUARDSThis REF identifies the potential environmental benefits and impacts of the Proposal and outlines themitigation measures to reduce the identified impacts. The Proposal, if implemented, would benefitGlenbrook, the surrounding area and local community by providing improvements to the GlenbrookRailway Station and Interchange.During the construction period the following key impacts would be expected to occur if the Proposalwere to proceed:• disruptions to vehicle and pedestrian movements• tree and vegetation removal• noise and vibration• removal of rail track that is associated with the Glenbrook Deviation Line heritage item• visual impacts.As result of the proposal it is expected that there would be little ongoing impacts.The long term operational impacts of the Proposal would be positive for the Glenbrook Railway Stationand Interchange and the general community in the area. The upgrade would provide for commuter carparking for 56 vehicles, improve access to the station and improve security.CONCLUSIONThe Proposal is subject to assessment under Part 5 of the EP&A Act. The REF has examined and taken intoaccount to the fullest extent possible all matters affecting or likely to affect the environment by reason ofRef No: 2260812xii
Review of Environmental FactorsGlenbrook commuter car park and interchange upgradethe Proposal. The Proposal is unlikely to significantly affect the environment including critical habitat orthreatened species, populations, ecological communities or their habitats.The Proposal has taken into account the principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD). Keyinitiatives include reducing landfill waste, reusing spoil and incorporation of energy efficient equipmentand lighting. These initiatives would be considered further during the detailed design, construction andoperational phases of the Proposal.The Proposal as described in the REF best meets the project objectives but would still result in sometemporary construction impacts, mostly due to construction noise. Mitigation measures as detailed inSection 7 of the REF would ameliorate or minimise these expected impacts. The Proposal would alsoimprove access to Glenbrook Railway Station for commuters in the surrounding area. On balance theProposal is considered justified.Ref No: 2260812xiii
