Mount Druitt Commuter Car ParkReview of Environmental Factors6.5.3. Proposed mitigation measuresTo manage potential noise impacts during construction of the car park, the followinghave been proposed:Erection of hoardings on the western boundary to mitigate construction noiseaffecting the Mount Druitt Court House;Monitoring of noise and vibration during construction;Undertake a building condition survey prior to construction of the Mount DruittCourt House; andConsultation with individual stakeholders, specifically Mount Druitt Court Houseprior to the commencement of some vibration construction activities.A full list of all possible mitigation measures for construction noise impacts is detailedin Table 7.1.6.6. Heritage6.6.1. Existing environmentThe site consists of dilapidated foundations and rubbish associated with what used tobe a movie theatre.The Mount Druitt Railway Station is listed on RailCorp‘s Section 170 heritage register.The station building and overhead booking office are identified as the key features ofthis listing. There are no other heritage items within or in close proximity to theProposal site that are listed on the Blacktown LEP, Australian Heritage Database, StateHeritage Register or Register of National Estate.A search of DECCW‘s Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System databaseidentified no known aboriginal artefacts or places within or in close proximity to theProposal. There is limited potential for unknown artefacts to exist on site due to itsdisturbed nature.6.6.2. Potential impactsThe proposed commuter car park is approximately 300 metres from the heritage listedstation and is therefore considered unlikely to affect this heritage item.There are no known Indigenous or non-Indigenous heritage items within or in closeproximity to the site.Historical development of the site suggests that potential unknown archaeologicalresources or relics that may have existed on site are likely to have been disturbed ordestroyed.Based on the database information obtained and historical development of the site,the Proposal is unlikely to impact any Indigenous or non-Indigenous heritage items orplaces.6.7. Biodiversity6.7.1. Existing environmentThe natural landscape of the site has been extensively altered due to pastdevelopment and its location within an urban environment. The vegetation on sitecomprises saplings (Refer Photo 6-3) and weeds.KMH-2010123a REF Rev 4 doc. Page 70 of 116Status: Final
Mount Druitt Commuter Car ParkReview of Environmental FactorsThree mature specimens of Forest Red Gum Eucalyptus tereticorni are located in anarrow strip of soil less than 2 metres wide between the Mount Street footpath andthe Proposal site.The bulk of vegetation on site occurs in the strip of vegetation along the North Paradefrontage. This strip of vegetation is approximately 10 metres deep and is broken by thedriveway leading onto the site from North Parade. The area to the west of this drivewayand immediately to the east is composed of weeds. The more easterly area of this stripof vegetation along North Parade shows a reduction in the density of weeds and theoccurrence of some native species of trees and groundcovers. These native speciesinclude six specimens of Grey Box Eucalyptus moluccana from 1 - 3.5 metres tall, aspecimen of Spotted Gum Corymbia maculata (5 metres), a specimen of ForestSheoak Allocasuarina torulosa (3 metres) and a single Swamp Oak Casuarina glauca.Native groundcovers in this strip of vegetation along North Parade are restricted touncommon specimens of Three Awned Spear Grass Aristida and are dominated bynumerous weed species.Photo 6-3Example of saplings in south-east corner of siteOf the five species of native tree species recorded on or near the proposed car park,four species are considered native to Western Sydney. Allocasuarina torulosa is notconsidered local and may be planted. The Eucalyptus tereticornis specimens occurringalong the Mount Street boundary could also be considered to be planted judging fromtheir even height, regularly spacing and linear occurrence. Of the native tree speciesoccurring on site, Eucalyptus tereticornis, Eucalyptus moluccana and Corymbiamaculata are characteristic species of Cumberland Plain Woodland ( CPW).The resilience of the site is considered very low, with probably limited soil stored seed.Exotic plant species dominate the understorey and ground layer and account for thedominant protective foliage cover on vegetated areas of the site. The diversity of weedspecies is low and no noxious weeds have been observed on site.6.7.2. Potential impactsThe three mature Eucalyptus tereticornis along Mount Street adjacent to the easternboundary would be kept and incorporated into landscaping of the proposed car park.All vegetation in the southern section of the site would be removed including all of thesmall native trees.KMH-2010123a REF Rev 4 doc.
