Potential ImpactsDuring construction, there will be an increased number of vehicles using the local streets,however, the anticipated increase in the volume of traffic is relatively small (about four to sixtruck movements per day).As works are to take place in the rail corridor access changes to local roads or access todriveways are not expected.Vehicular traffic in the rail corridor will be limited to concrete and delivery trucks for the DBS andpower cabinets and the monopole sections and trucks with pile boring or trenching equipment.These trucks are not large enough to prevent access via the access gate.There will be some traffic movement associated with vehicles that will need to access the sitefor maintenance requirements. However, the volume of traffic will be very small and will notadversely impact on the surrounding road network. It is proposed that the monopole andantennas be accessed via an elevated work platform or through the use of a ladder and duallard system.Control MeasuresImpacts associated with traffic and access will be minimised through a range of controlmeasures, which will include, but will not be limited to those outlined below.A Traffic Management Plan will be developed for the site.A dilapidation survey will be completed prior to construction commencing.Pavement or road surfaces damaged during construction will be restored when work isfinished.The Traffic Management Plan will ensure compliance with Australian Standard AS1742.3-2002 Manual of uniform traffic control devices – traffic control devices on roads.4.15 Utilities and ServicesExisting SituationThere is a fibre pit six metres north of the proposed site. The railway track is approximately 10metres south of the proposed site. There are railway stanchions along the railway track. Noother services have been identified in close proximity of the site.Potential ImpactsThe facility will be connected to the existing electricity supply and fibre network and does notrequire connections to water or gas.There are a number of public utilities near the site and there is the potential for some known orunknown services to be impacted during excavation. Depending on the service, outages orinterruptions could affect nearby properties or the rail network.Page 51 of 75
