Discomfort effects are not expected given the types of machinery required for constructionworks. Similarly, structural damage to buildings is not expected as the nearest buildings areadjacent to the railway and already experience vibration from trains on a regular basis.Operational Noise and VibrationNo operational impacts are expected.Control MeasuresConstruction works will adopt Best Management Practice (BMP) and Best Available TechnologyEconomically Achievable (BATEA) practices as described in the Interim Construction NoiseGuideline (ICNG) (DECC 2009) and be carried out in accordance with TfNSW’s ConstructionNoise Strategy.Control measures to minimise noise and vibration impacts will include, but will not be limited to,those outlined below.Maximise the offset distance between noise plant items and sensitive receiversOrient plant and equipment away from sensitive receiversAvoid the simultaneous operation of two or more noise plant items in close vicinity andadjacent to sensitive receiversCarry out loading and unloading away from sensitive receiversWhere necessary, use structures to shield sensitive receivers from noise sourcesProvide periods of respite if high noise generating activities occur for extended periods.In addition, the community will be notified of the works and their duration and provided withcontact details before work begins. Any noise complaints received will be addressed by theProject Manager as soon as possible.4.6 HeritageExisting SituationA search for non-Aboriginal heritage items was completed by consulting the followingdatabases: Hurstville LEP and Kogarah LEP, State Heritage Register, State Heritage Inventory,Australian Heritage Database, (including Commonwealth Register of the National Estate), worldheritage sites and RailCorp’s Section 170 Heritage and Conservation Register.There are some heritage items around the proposed area (refer Appendix 3).
