Warrawee Substation - Review of Environmental Factors

Assessment of the environmental impacts and riskspotentially result in a safety hazard in this area due to conflicts between vehicles andpedestrians. Such conflicts would be avoided by limiting the number of vehiclemovements during these periods.The pedestrian path along the rail corridor between Brentwood Avenue and HastingRoad would remain open throughout construction.OperationAside from periodic maintenance requirements, operation of the proposal would notgenerate any vehicular movements. Access to the site would be via existing accessgate locations and therefore the movement of traffic would not be altered. Duringmaintenance activities, maintenance vehicles would be parked within the rail corridor.3.12.3 Recommended control measuresThe following control measures would be implemented to minimise impacts on thetraffic and transport network:A traffic management plan would be developed in consultation with Council todetail traffic control measures along Brentwood Avenue and Hastings Road. Thiswould be incorporated into the Construction Environmental Management Plan.Access along the pedestrian path adjacent to the corridor to be maintained at alltimes during construction.A designated heavy vehicle route would be identified within the traffic managementplan. Heavy vehicles accessing the site would be required to use this route.Vehicle movements to and from the site to be minimised during school start andend times.Liaison with Ku-ring-gai Council is required to confirm the design, location andapproval requirements for the proposed site accesses.Signage and traffic control devices would be installed to alert motorists andpedestrians to changes to local traffic conditions during the construction period.Oversized vehicle movements would be discussed with RMS and NSW Police priorto them occurring and RailCorp will advise residents of any requirement foroversized vehicles and RailCorp will advise residents of any requirement foroversized vehicles.3.13 Light spill3.13.1 Existing environmentThe site is currently undeveloped and does not generate any light that spills ontoadjoining properties.Warrawee Substation Project/Review of Environmental FactorsPage 44 of 64
