Review of Environmental Factors<strong>Glenbrook</strong> commuter car park and interchange upgradeNumberSafeguards and mitigation measures38 When working in the vicinity of trees, care would be taken to ensure that nodamage occurs to trees or their roots. Particular care should be taken when workis being undertaken in the vicinity of large eucalypts, when trenching, or if exposedtree roots are present.39The <strong>Transport</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>NSW</strong> Vegetation Offset Guide (2012) would be applied whencalculating appropriate offsets <strong>for</strong> the project. Specifically, Section 5 (Types ofoffsets) is relevant. Most importantly:• Unnecessary impacts to native vegetation would be avoided.• The impacts of vegetation removal would be mitigated bysecondary offsets, including planting and rehabilitation of nativevegetation and weed management.• Tree removal would follow the offset requirements laid out inSection 5.4 (Offsets <strong>for</strong> individual trees or group of trees).40 An ecologist would be present during the felling of trees to ensure any residentfauna are not harmed in the process.41 There would be no disturbance to any vegetation greater than 5 m horizontallyfrom the start of the slope on the southern side of the railway.42 Trees to be removed should be accessed from previously cleared areas (wherepossible) to avoid damaging surrounding vegetation.43 All trees to be removed would be mulched and re‐used in surrounding areas.44 Should any fauna be injured during the tree clearing process, details of the localveterinary and/or wildlife carer would be available onsite.45 The use of herbicides would be restricted to controlling exotic species at the siteand suitable application methods would be employed to ensure no impacts occurto surrounding areas of vegetation.46 Weedy material must be treated according to Blue Mountains City Councilguidelines.47 Herbicides would be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.48 Herbicides would not be used when rain is <strong>for</strong>ecast or strong wind is present.49 Machinery would be cleaned prior to entering the site to ensure that weed seedsand propagules are not imported to the site. All refuelling of vehicles andequipment would be undertaken off site.Ref No: 2260812 74
