Potential ImpactIf not properly used, chemicals may present a risk to the safety of workers and the environment in general.Safe use of chemicals is regulated and subject to numerous standards, including a need for a dangerous goodslicence.Possible Control MeasuresIf hazardous materials are to be used, their impact will be minimised through a range of control measuresincluding, but not limited to, those outlined below.• Hazardous materials will be properly classified and managed in accordance with requirements for theirparticular class.• An evaluation of alternative materials will be undertaken before any use of chemicals is approved.• Hazardous materials will be transported, stored and used in accordance with the corresponding materialsafety data sheets which will be available on the site.• Hazardous materials will be stored in a locked and bunded area at the site; incompatible chemicals willnot be stored together.• No fuels will be stored on site. Any refuelling will be undertaken at off-site facilities.• Adequate spill prevention, containment and response measures (e.g. drip trays) will be provided on siteif needed.• Construction personnel will be trained in spill containment and response procedures.• All storage and handling equipment on site will be maintained properly.The site CEMP will further detail these measures, should they be required.4.10 Visual Aesthetics and Urban DesignExisting SituationThe visual landscape surrounding the proposed site includes the South Coast railway track and associatedoverhead power lines/communications poles. There is vegetation lining the western fence of the rail corridor.Residential dwellings are about 125 metres away on Montague Street and 135 metres away on TownsendAvenue. Due to the distance between the site and the nearest residences and the surrounding vegetation, themonopole will only be partially visible from a small number of residences.Other receivers in the immediate area with views of the proposed site include neighbouringcommercial/industrial properties on Montague Street.Potential ImpactsDuring construction the visual environment will be temporarily altered through the presence of temporary workbuildings, plant and equipment, such as cranes and trucks.Page 40 of 67
While the site is operational, a new 20 metre high monopole will be introduced into the visual environment. The1.7 metre high cabinets will be of little visual significance.A consideration of the impact of the new monopole should consider visual sensitivity and visual magnitude. Aphotomontage of the new monopole is displayed in Figure 7 and Figure 8.Visual sensitivity relates to the number of people who are likely to see the facility and their possible expectationsof visual quality. For example, commercial properties are generally considered less sensitive than privateresidences. The site is in an area of low-moderate sensitivity given the distance of residential receivers whoface the rail corridor and proposed monopole. There is vegetation screening the railway from residents,however, the top of the monopole may be visible from some locations.The visual magnitude of the proposal is derived from its scale and the level of visual contrast between theproposed facility and the existing visual environment. The new steel monopole will be 20 metres high and will beclose to existing overheard wires and power poles that have a similar visual appearance. The monopole is not abulky structure and will not be a dominant part of the visual landscape. As such, the visual magnitude for theproposal is considered low.Visual impact is generally determined by reference to both visual sensitivity and visual magnitude. Variouscombinations of visual sensitivity and visual magnitude produce low, moderate and high levels of impact. Forthis facility the overall impact is considered low-moderate.Page 41 of 67
