Finalisation4. Finalisation4.1 Justification of the project4.1.1 Summary of beneficial effectsThe main benefit of the proposal is the construction of a new substation which willassist in upgrading the network by providing additional power to the network, in orderto manage the increase in demand on the network that is expected in the comingyears. The construction of this substation would benefit the wider rail network.4.1.2 Summary of adverse effectsThe proposal would result in some adverse effects that would include:Noise impacts during construction to surrounding residential land usesVegetation loss within the rail corridor, this vegetation is not considered to be ofany significant ecological valueTraffic, transport and access impacts as a result of vehicle movements to and fromthe site for the delivery of materials and equipment, removal of spoil and workersmovements.Visual amenity impacts due to the introduction of a new building into the view pointof a number of properties. Some vegetation clearance would also result in thereduction of screening along the edge of the rail corridorAir quality impacts due to the operational of plant and machinery and also due todust generation as result of vegetation clearing and earthworks.These impacts are considered minor and short term in nature and/or would beminimised by implementing the control measures outlined in Table 3.14.4.1.3 JustificationThe proposal is deemed to be justified as the beneficial effects of the project outweighthe adverse effects. This is because many of the adverse effects are deemed to beshort term in nature, have localised impacts and can be mitigated through theimplementation of control measures. The beneficial effects would be felt across theentire rail network due to increased running capacity.Warrawee Substation Project/Review of Environmental FactorsPage 60 of 64
