1. Introduction

1.1. Sydney Metro Project Background

The New South Wales (NSW) Government through Transport for NSW (TfNSW) is implementing Sydney’s Rail Future, a plan to transform and modernise Sydney’s rail network so that it can grow with the city’s population and meet the needs of commuters and customers in the future. Sydney Metro is a new standalone rail network identified in Sydney’s Rail Future. The Sydney Metro network consists of Sydney Metro Northwest (previously known as the North West Rail Link), Sydney Metro City & Southwest and Sydney Metro West. The demolition works completed under this CEMP will form part of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest (SMC&SW), which comprises of two core components: • The Chatswood to Sydenham project involves the construction and operation of an underground rail line approximately

15.5 kilometers long inclusive of new stations between Chatswood and Sydenham. • The second core component will involve upgrading the 13.5 kilometre rail line and existing stations from Sydenham to

Bankstown. Note: this Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) has been developed for the demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth St only, as part of the Martin Place Metro Station construction. The descriptions below regarding the Martin Place Integrated Station Development and Martin Place Metro works packages have been included to provide context of the Sydney Metro works to be completed at Martin Place, and how the demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth Street fits within this overarching scope.

1.2. Martin Place – Integrated Station Development

The Martin Place Integrated Station Development (ISD) comprises of the new Martin Place Metro Station, and Over Station Development (OSD) consisting of a south tower and a north tower, and is outlined below in Figure 2. The Martin Place Metro Station works will be completed as part of the Critical State Significant Infrastructure (CSSI) project (reference SSI 7400), and as approved by SSI 7400 MOD 3. The south tower and north tower OSD works will be completed under separate State Significant Development (SSD) approvals.

1.2.1. Martin Place Station CSSI Modification

Macquarie Group Limited have provided the NSW Government with an unsolicited proposal for a single fully integrated station and over station development solution relating to the approved metro station at Martin Place. The proposal provides a larger, more connected station and precinct to serve Martin Place and provide a better opportunity to provide a whole of precinct urban design response. A modification to the approved Sydney Metro City & Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham project has been approved and addresses changes to the infrastructure works associated with the approved metro station at Martin Place that result from Macquarie’s integrated station and over station development solution (SSI 7400 MOD 3). The modification involves the following changes to the approved project: • A larger, reconfigured station layout, including the addition of land at 9-19 Elizabeth Street and the alterations to the

street level layout of the station entries. • The provision of a new unpaid concourse link (a link available to the general public without needing to pass through ticket

gates) between the northern and southern station entries, extending beneath 50 Martin Place. • Retention of the existing MLC pedestrian link and works to connect the link to the Sydney Metro Martin Place Station. Macquarie has prepared a separate State Significant Development application for the OSD component. OSD works are not considered within this CEMP. Macquarie has engaged Lendlease to deliver the construction of the Martin Place Metro Station. This CEMP document refers to Lendlease as the responsible contractor to deliver these works on behalf of Macquarie.

Figure 3 – Project Site Location (Source: maps.six.nsw.gov.au)

1.3.3. Lendlease Works

The Lendlease works at Martin Place Station will be completed over three main construction phases which can be summarised as; • Demolition of an existing building at 9-19 Elizabeth St (north site) • Excavation and retention works of the northern shaft (north site) • Martin Place Metro Station construction and fit-out (north site, south site, subsurface)




Date: 04/03/18

This CEMP and corresponding suite of sub plans (outlined in section 2.3.1 of this plan) have been developed to account for the demolition works at 9-19 Elizabeth St only. A further CEMP and corresponding sub plans will be completed to provide full details of the excavation and retention of the northern shaft, and station construction and fit-out phases and issued to DPE for approval.

1.4. Martin Place Demolition Works 9-19 Elizabeth St

In order to commence the required excavation works for the northern shaft of the Martin Place Station, the building at 9-19 Elizabeth St is required to be demolished (termed as ‘MP ISD Demolition’ in the Sydney Metro City and Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham Staging Report) and will include the key components outlined below. It is noted that hoarding installation, scaffold erection, hazardous material removal, decommissioning of plant and soft strip out will be completed as ‘low impact work’ as defined in the planning approval SSI 7400 and subject to determination by the Environmental Representative (ER) to be of minimal environmental impact. Installing A and B class hoarding (low impact work)

B Class Hoardings will be installed to the perimeter of the site on Elizabeth, Hunter and Castlereagh Streets. On completion of the demolition works the B class hoarding will be removed and replaced with an A Class Hoarding to the perimeter of the site at street level.

Erecting scaffolding (low impact work)

Heavy duty scaffolding with shade cloth and mesh will be installed to all perimeter faces of 9-19 Elizabeth St prior to commencement of main demolition works.

The removal of hazardous materials (low impact work)

Hazardous material surveys will be completed for 9-19 Elizabeth St. Where found to be present, hazardous materials including friable and non-friable asbestos, PCB’s, Lead Paint, Ozone Depleting gases will be removed by licenced contractors prior to the demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth St. Any materials impacted by lead paint will be removed from site to an appropriate waste facility, no lead paint stripping is to be undertaken on site.

Decommissioning of plant (low impact work)

9-19 Elizabeth St has a dedicated plant room at the roof level. This plant room will be decommissioned and where applicable some items will be salvaged for reuse.

Soft strip out (low impact work)

The removal of furniture, fitting, fixtures and non-load bearing walls, ceilings and the like will be removed, separated and taken off site for reuse and recycling where applicable. The soft strip of each floor will progress ahead of the structural demolition of the building to better manage segregation of materials.

Demolition of structure

Main structural demolition of the 9-19 Elizabeth St structure. Five (5) 13T excavators with hammer/pulveriser attachment to progressively demolish typical floors including slabs, walls, columns and façade in the general top-down sequence. Rubble created will be processed and transferred to a chute on each level to the sorting area adjacent to the building. Plant on the ground floor will continuously load trucks for material recovery. Scaffold to be progressively dismantled as the building is demolished. Ground floor and basement slabs and footing will be dismantled and removed from site. To allow demolition of existing retaining structures on the site, micro-piles will be installed along sections of Elizabeth and Castlereagh Streets, to ensure safe retention of the adjacent roads and footpaths.

1.5. Staging and Timing

The demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth St is the first activity completed by Lendlease in the overall construction of the Martin Place Metro Station. This CEMP has been developed for the demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth St only, shown circled in red in Figure 4 below. A further CEMP will be developed and submitted to DPE for approval for the remaining stages of work.




Date: 04/03/18

1.6. Demolition Equipment

Key demolition equipment to be used on the Project are listed below. Scenarios detailing numbers of each item and working durations are detailed in the Construction Noise and Vibration Impact Statement - Demolition (CNVIS). • 2T excavators for strip out • 13T excavators with hammer and pulveriser for plant room and tower demolition • 20-30T excavators for lower level demolition and load out • Mustang and Bobcats throughout the project • Elevated works platforms • Mobile cranes • Street cleaner • Material load out bins (skips) • Hand tools (oxy, jack hammers, demolition saw, etc) • Micro-piling rig • Rock anchor drill rig




Date: 04/03/18

1.7. Construction Hours

In accordance with MCoA E36; Construction, except as allowed by Condition E48 (excluding cut and cover tunnelling), must only be undertaken during the following standard construction hours: • 7:00am to 6:00pm Mondays to Fridays, inclusive; • 8:00am to 1:00pm Saturdays; and • at no time on Sundays or public holidays. CoA E37 places further restriction on the hours that ‘high noise impact’ generating activities may occur. Construction works and activities with the potential to generate high noise impact will be scheduled to occur between the hours of 7am to8pm. CoA E37 provides for an extended daytime period as it may be preferred by commercial (or residential) receivers for high noise generating activities to occur after 5pm. As required in CoA E38, the relevant receivers have been identified throughout the Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan (CNVMP) regarding the determination of hours of respite so that construction noise (including ground-borne noise) does not exceed the Highly Noise Affected Management Level (HNAML) outlined within the Interim Construction Noise Guideline (ICNG).

1.7.1. Out of Hours Works and Associated Protocol

Out of Hours Works (OOHW) proposed for demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth St will be required for lane closures associated with hoarding installation. CoA E44(f) and E47 requires the preparation of an OOHW Protocol when undertaking works outside of standard construction hours. All out of hours works (except in emergency situations) will be managed under the Sydney Metro Out of Hours Works Protocol (Reference Document: SM ES-PW-317) which is located in Appendix I and will be referred to during the assessment, management and approval of work outside of standard construction hours (as defined in Condition of Approval E36).




Date: 04/03/18

2. Purpose of the CEMP

This CEMP has been developed for demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth St only and provides a management system and procedures to ensure that Lendlease establish and maintain best practice controls to manage potential environmental impacts and risks during the Project and are aligned with the Environmental performance outcomes listed in Section 11.3 of the Submissions and Preferred Infrastructure Report (SPIR) and Table 4. Lendlease is committed to providing its services in a manner that conforms to the contractual requirements and to all relevant regulatory and legislative requirements. To achieve this, Lendlease will plan, implement and control an integrated management system that facilitates the management of the environmental aspects of the Project. The Construction Environmental Management Plan (including all sub plans) is compliant and consistent with: • ISO 14001:2015; • NSW Ministers Conditions of Approval SSI 15_7400 (MCoA), including MOD 3 Martin Place Metro Station; • Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Submissions and Preferred Infrastructure Report (SPIR) including the

Revised Environmental Mitigation Measures (REMMs) shown in Appendix F. Applicablitlity of these REMMs has been taken from the Staging Report.

• Sydney City Metro Construction Environmental Management Framework (CEMF); and • Department of Planning and Infrastructure (known now as the Department pf Planning and Environment, DPE) Guideline

for the Preparation of Environmental Management Plans, 2004. Sydney Metro, as part of the planning for this Project, has undertaken numerous studies associated with the Project. Specifically, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), complete with a number of specialist technical papers, has been prepared. Each document details identified impacts and relevant management measures that are to be adopted in undertaking the Project, for all relevant environmental aspects and issues. This CEMP has been prepared to specify the actions and environmental controls required during construction works associated with the Project. The primary purpose of the CEMP is to provide a framework reference document detailing how Lendlease will manage and control environmental aspects of the Project during the construction phase. The CEMP will be used as a working document to ensure that obligations and commitments provided in the MCoA, EIS, SPIR and other licences, permits and approvals are made known to all staff (including sub-contractors) and implemented effectively as an integral part of project construction. It also aims to detail processes to minimise impacts associated with the construction of the project on adjacent sensitive areas (as shown in the sensitive area plan contained within Appendix C). The CEMP contains core Environmental Management System (EMS) elements and follows the principles of ISO 14001 – 2015. This CEMP has been developed to satisfy the requirements of the Guidelines for the Preparation of EMP’s (Department of Planning and Infrastructure (DP&I) 2004). The CEMP will be reviewed when necessary to reflect new processes, controls and procedures, as defined in Section 12 of this CEMP. The CEMP, including the environmental management sub plans and procedures will be applicable to all staff and sub-contractors during the construction phase.

2.1. Objectives and Targets of the CEMP

The environmental objectives for the CEMP in the construction period are: • To satisfy key requirements contained within the Planning Approval conditions; • To satisfy key commitments contained in the EIS, SPIR and in other planning documents; • To ensure compliance with relevant legislation and regulatory requirements; • To develop, implement and maintain effective management systems for the environmental aspects of construction works; • To monitor environmental impacts relating to the project as identified in this document and related sub plans; and • To be consistent with the elements of the Australian / New Zealand Standard 14001: 2015 – Environmental Management

Systems (referred to as AS/NZS ISO 14001).

Table 7 - CEMP objectives and targets

2.2. Preparation of this CEMP and Sub Plans

All environmental management requirements specified as being the responsibility of Lendlease, including those stipulated in the environmental documents, have been considered and addressed in preparing this plan, as have requirements of Lendlease’s EMS which is accredited to AS/NZS ISO14001. This plan draws on the extensive knowledge Lendlease has acquired from successful environmental management of multiple and varied projects in a range of locations. This CEMP has been developed in consultation with Sydney Metro and Environmental Representative (ER). The Sub plans have been prepared in consultation (where required by CoA C3), the City of Sydney Council, the NSW Heritage Council and the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and records have been kept and maintained. This CEMP will be reviewed and revised as per the requirements of CoA C2(1). This includes: • In response to internal Environmental Audits as per the requirements of AS/NZS 19011:2014 Guidelines for Auditing

Management Systems; • Consultation with required agencies, authorities and relevant stakeholders; • Any new or changed environmental risks identified during the project; • Changes to regulatory requirements; • Results of corrective or preventive actions; • Opportunities for improvements identified; and • Requests by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE). Evidence of ER endorsement and required consultation will be supplied to DPE with submission of the CEMP or relevant sub plan. This CEMP and the associated sub plans will be available to the relevant bodies for consultation and approval. A copy of the latest approved version of this CEMP will also be available to all project personnel, sub-contractors, other community and stakeholders on request. The CEMP and associated sub plans will be available on a dedicated page within the Lendlease corporate website – www.lendlease.com, as required by CoA B15.

http://www.lendlease.com/




Date: 04/03/18

The CEMP is the key management tool in relation to environmental performance during the design and construction phases. The CEMP describes the construction environmental management requirements for the Project and Lendlease’s system for minimising and managing environmental risks associated with the construction phase of the Project. The CEMP is a dynamic document that will be reviewed and amended to incorporate additional requirements as required, changes to the project team, organisational structure and responsibilities or as improvements to procedures and methodologies develop. The CEMP will be endorsed by the ER and then submitted to the Secretary for approval no later than one month before the commencement of the demolition works at 9-19 Elizabeth St or within another timeframe agreed with the Secretary.

2.2.1. Environmental Management Sub Plans

Detailed, issue specific environmental management sub plans will be prepared on key environmental elements for the Project, documenting aspects, impacts, safeguards and monitoring requirements for each key environmental element, nominate who is responsible for implementing controls - noting the frequency/timing of implementation, and set objectives and targets, and identify measurable key performance indicators in relation to the sub plan aspect. The MCoA and Project Specifications define the content and issues to be addressed in the required sub plans. Lendlease has prepared specific environmental sub plans to the CEMP, as per the conditions of approval C3, C4 and C5 and in accordance with the Sydney Metro City and Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham Staging Report (Staging Report), noting that demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth Street is termed MP ISD Demolition within the Staging Report. Consultation with relevant agencies is to include the DPE, EPA, Sydney City Council and the Heritage Council. Where an agency request is not included in a sub plan, justification will be included to DPE with submission of the respective sub plan. Details of all information requested by an agency will be included in the respective sub plan as a result of consultation and copies of all correspondence from those agencies, will be provided with the relevant sub plan. CEMP sub plans will be submitted to DPE along with, or subsequent to, the submission of this CEMP but in any event, no later than one month before commencement of construction. The purpose of each sub plan is to document how specific environmental risks will be managed, and the relevant performance outcomes (specifically related to the demolition works) specified in the EIS and PIR will be met. Aspect specific sub plans or separate plan required by the MCoA developed for demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth Street are: • Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan - Demolition • Construction Heritage Management Plan - Demolition • Construction Traffic Management Plan – Demolition

2.3. Consultation and Approval Requirements

2.3.1. Agency Consultation and DPE Approval

The MCoA requires the preparation of this CEMP, a number of sub plans. The CEMF also requires the preparation of a number of aspect specific management plans. This CEMP, and all environmental plans, have been designed to address client expectations and requirements, and adequately address risks and stakeholder concerns. The MCoA requires Lendlease to consult with specific authorities and stakeholders in the preparation of this CEMP and associated sub plans. Table 8 indicates approval required (A), endorsement required (E), consultation (C) and submit for information (I) required by the MCoA for the various documents.

3. Legal and Approval Requirements

3.1. Environmental Planning Approval Background

Sydney Metro City & Southwest was declared by Ministerial Order on 10 December 2015 to be State significant infrastructure and critical State significant infrastructure under Sections 115U(4) and 115V of the EP&A Act, respectively. The Ministerial Order also amended Schedule 5 of State Environmental Planning Policy (State and Regional Development) 2011 to include the project as critical State significant infrastructure. In May 2016, an Environmental Impact Statement for the Chatswood to Sydenham section of the Project (the EIS) was placed on public exhibition for a period of 48 days (six weeks). A Preferred Infrastructure Report on the Chatswood to Sydenham component (the PIR) was prepared and publicly released in October 2016. The Project was approved on 9 January 2017 (SSI 15_7400) (MCoA). A modification to the approved Sydney Metro City & Southwest Chatswood to Sydenham to address changes to the infrastructure works associated with the approved metro station at Martin Place that result from Macquarie’s integrated station and over station development solution was approved on 22 March 2018 (SSI 7400 MOD 3). Due to the increase in land area associated with the approved MOD 3 works, demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth St is required. Macquarie has prepared a separate State Significant Development application for the OSD component.

3.2. Key Legislative Requirements

This CEMP incorporates applicable Environmental Legislation, Codes of Practice, Australian Standards and other Guidelines for the Project. Lendlease personnel (including Sub-contractors) must comply with relevant Environmental, WHS legislation, Codes of Practice, Industry Standards and Regulatory Approvals as applicable to their work activities. Where changes are identified, a review will be conducted to determine whether an amendment of the CEMP or associated documents is required. Under Section 115ZG of the EP&A Act the following authorisations are not required for approved State Significant Infrastructure (SSI) (and accordingly the provisions of any Act that prohibit an activity without such an authority do not apply): • The concurrence under Part 3 of the Coastal Protection Act 1979 of the Minister administering that Part of that Act • A permit under section 201, 205 or 219 of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 An approval under Part 4, or an

4. Environmental Management Delivery

4.1. Environmental Control Maps

The project Environmental Control Maps provided in Appendix C have been prepared to assist in the planning and delivery of the project. It is specific to the site or work area and outlines the location of protection measures, monitoring requirements, conditions of approval and environmentally sensitive areas for the relevant stage of works. It is the practical application of the proposed control measures. It is noted that the 9-19 demolition ECM is a ‘live’ document and will be updated to reflect the relevant works stage as works progress and will be used in project inductions, work site set-up, reviewing ongoing environmental performance, included as information in tender documents to subcontractors where applicable and in support of ancillary environmental approvals.

The project Environmental Control Map would include;

• The worksite layout and boundary, including entry/exit points and internal roads and clearing limits • Location of adjoining land-use and nearest noise sensitive receivers • Location and type of sediment and erosion control measures, including size / capacity of detention basins and wheel

wash facilities (unless a separate Erosion and Sediment Control Plan has been developed) • Location of site offices • Location of spill containment and clean-up equipment • Location of worksite waste management facilities • Hours of work applicable to the worksite (including deliveries and any restrictions on high noise generating activities). • Document control details • Location of environmentally sensitive areas (e.g. threatened species, critical habitat, contaminated areas, heritage zones,

etc.) • Vegetation and trees to be protected • Location of known heritage (indigenous and non-indigenous) items • Location of stormwater drainage and watercourses leading to / from the worksite • Specific environmental management requirements from licenses, approvals or permit conditions • Key environmental risk issues and the specific mitigation measures

The plan is in addition to any erosion and sediment control plans or other documentation that specify the location of

environmental controls on site.

4.2. Sensitive Area Plans (SAPs)

To aid in the identification and protection of significant environmental features and sensitive receiver groups associated with the project, a set of Sensitive Area Plans (SAPs) will be prepared. These plans will be provided within Appendix C of this CEMP. These plans provide information relevant to the pre-construction and construction period and must be considered prior to commencing any work activity. The SAPs are working documents and will be updated throughout the project construction phase, as required. SAPs will include information on: • Environmentally sensitive areas; and • Sensitive receivers.

4.3. Erosion and Sediment Control Plans (ESCP)

Appropriate planning is crucial to effective management of erosion and sedimentation onsite. Erosion and Sediment Control Plans (ESCP’s) are planning documents which clearly show the site layout and the approximate location of erosion and sediment control structures on site. They provide the overall context of erosion and sediment control in an area to which more specific management plans (Work Method Statements) can be superimposed. ESCP’s will be developed for all work areas prior to commencing activities. Project Engineers, Superintendents, Foremen and Environmental staff will be responsible for the development and implementation of ESCP’s on site. This will ensure that erosion and sediment management is incorporated into the planning phase of construction activities.




Date: 04/03/18

ESCP’s will be regularly reviewed as site conditions change and flow paths are altered (e.g. the reshaping of drainage lines to direct sediment laden runoff to sediment basins). Once approved all revisions will be controlled and allocated an appropriate revision number. ESCP’s will be maintained in a site specific ESCP Register and available to site personnel for reference. ESCP’s will generally be prepared on detailed drainage diagrams, however topographic maps (aerials) may also be utilised. ESCP will incorporate the following aspects: • Title, date and revision number; • Details regarding the implementation period and staging; • A layout of the site, including the location of access roads, ancillary infrastructure, stockpile locations, protected

vegetation and disturbed (cleared) areas; • The location of temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures proposed to treat Stormwater prior to

discharge (including vegetated treatment systems); and • Approval and sign-off from soil conservationist (if applicable). ESCP’s are designed for use as a practical guide and may be produced in conjunction with a Work Method Statement (WMS) for more detailed environmental mitigation measures (if required).

4.4. Environmental Hold Points

5.2.5. Subcontractors

Lendlease recognises that it is often subcontractors that present the greatest environmental risks to a project due to: • Their detachment from the main construction delivery teams, and therefore the potential for poor communication

regarding environmental risks; • The large number of subcontractors on site; and • Subcontractors operating under a different management system from the Lendlease Environmental Management

System. Lendlease acknowledges it has a responsibility to ensure that all persons on the Project including subcontractors and their employees comply with the relevant environmental requirements. As a minimum, subcontractors and their employees will be required to comply with the environmental requirements and the CEMP. Project specific environmental management requirements will be included in the selection and management of sub-contractors working on site. Appropriate references to environmental management and control reflecting the Project requirements will be included in subcontract documentation. Subcontractor personnel will be included in the on-site induction process. Subcontractors working on the Project will be required to:




Date: 04/03/18

• Observe subcontract and statutory requirements relating to environmental protection and other environmental legislation and to follow instructions issued by the Project management and supervisory personnel;

• Nominate site representatives to liaise with the Project representatives with respect to, and take responsibility for, environmental requirements for the site activities;

• Adhere to the Lendlease’s management system as it applies to their operations on the site; • Co-operate fully with site emergency incident procedures and consultative arrangements; and • Follow procedures incorporated in the CEMP. Depending upon the complexity of the subcontractor’s work, Lendlease may require the subcontractor to produce documentation detailing their own proposed environmental management systems and where necessary to prepare their own EMPs and/or Environmental Procedures to supplement Lendlease environmental requirements. Details within the subcontractors EMPs will be consistent with this CEMP and the environmental requirements. Such documentation will include: • Responsibilities and authorities; • Training and qualifications in relation to work to be performed; • Environmental procedures in relation to the scope of works; and • Control measures adopted by the subcontractor. Lendlease will ensure that the work of subcontractors is monitored through the site inspection process. Observations will be made by relevant personnel to assess the effectiveness of the environmental protection measures being used on site by the subcontractor and to determine compliance with the requirements of the CEMP.

5.2.6. Utility Authorities

Any work required to be undertaken by utility authorities under the direction of Lendlease will be discussed, agreed and overseen by Lendlease personnel. Prior to work commencing, the environmental and safety risks associated with the work will be identified and documented.

5.2.7. Environmental Consultants

Date: 04/03/18

6. Environmental Aspects, Impacts and Risks

Environmental aspects as referred to in this document are those activities associated with the project that have the potential to cause, or result in, adverse environmental impacts. Due to the complexity of the project, it is conceivable that various aspects of the project would carry a varying degree of environmental risk which needs to be managed accordingly. 6.1 Risk Assessment Effective environmental management should be proactive rather than reactive. In order to facilitate a proactive style of environmental management, a risk management style of assessment has been utilised to identify and assess environmental aspects associated with the project, and to implement appropriate mitigation strategies to minimise the likelihood of environmental risks associated with each aspect. This process involves:

1. Identifying the risk/aspect 2. Analysing the risk/aspect (determining likelihood and consequence) 3. Evaluating the risk/aspect 4. Treating the risk

All identified aspects are assessed based on the risk assessment matrix displayed Appendix B. Risk assessment is based on (1) the likelihood of an impact occurring as a result of the aspect; and (2) the consequences of the impact if the event occurred. The Lendlease definition of probability and consequence are detailed in Appendix B. Following this assessment, each impact is assigned a risk category which range from “Incidental” (very low likelihood and consequence) to “Severe” (very high likelihood and consequence). A risk category identified as having an extreme or higher risk may be downgraded if appropriate environmental controls and measures are implemented and maintained. Proactive planning, installation and maintenance of appropriate environmental controls and ongoing monitoring will reduce the risks associated with each environmental impact identified for the project. Appendix B details the environmental aspects identified for the project, the initial risk category prior to appropriate management strategies. The key environmental risks as defined in Appendix B will be reviewed as and when required during the course of the contract when the following situations arise: • Client recommendations for changes (particularly following initial review) • Changes to the Company’s standard system • Opportunities for improvement or deficiencies in the project system are identified. • Following an audit of the system or the occurrence of significant incidents and non-conformances. Initial Environmental Audits and Management Reviews will be completed within 3 months of commencing on site and approximately every 3 months thereafter. To effectively manage environmental risks identified within the above-mentioned risk assessment process, and to satisfy Lendlease’s EMS requirements as well as the MCoA, a number of Sub plans, as well as Aspect Specific Environmental Management Procedures (ASEMPs) have been developed for implementation on the project. Sub plans have been prepared as required by MCoA C3 and as allocated in the Staging Report. For the demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth St, these include: • Demolition noise and vibration (MCoA reference E32, A27(b) A27(f) A27(g)); • Demolition traffic (MCoA reference E81); • Heritage management (MCoA E13); In addition to the listed sub plans, the following ASEMPs are applicable to the demolition phase and are provided in Appendix G;

• ASEMP 1 - Tree Protection • ASEMP 2 - Dust and Air Quality




Date: 04/03/18

• ASEMP 3 - Waste • ASEMP 4 - Soil and Water • ASEMP 5 - Hazardous/Contaminated Material • ASEMP 6 - Delivery and Storage of Chemicals; Fuels and Oils including Dangerous Goods Requirements • ASEMP 7 - Biodiversity • ASEMP 8 – Visual Amenity

8. Communication and Consultation

8.1. Community Consultation

Lendlease shall ensure that all relevant community stakeholders are consulted at appropriate times during the implementation of the Project. This will be detailed in the project Community Communications Strategy (CCS) and Business Management Plan (BMP). Specific actions will ensure that community members have adequate opportunity to be informed and provide into items that may impact them. i.e. noise impacts and proposed mitigation measures and environmental impacts. Specific actions shall include: • Issuing of community updates/newsletter and/or notifications; • Advertising of activity timetables in local papers; • Making documents detailed in the Planning Approval publicly available; • Publicising a general toll free project contact number prior to construction; and • Responding to community enquiries and complaints about the project using the web based contact management system

provide by the client, and ensuring that all enquiries and complaints are dealt with promptly and properly addressed.

All communication with the local community will be undertaken in accordance with the CCS, which will: • Demonstrate how the community consultation requirements of the project will be delivered • Identify people and organisations to be consulted during the project • Describe the overall approach that will be taken when dealing with the community and other stakeholder groups,

including identification of opportunities to provide accessible information regarding the project • Outline the methods that will be used to inform the community about the project and upcoming works, including provision

of community forums. • Set out procedures and mechanisms:

o through which the community can discuss or provide feedback o through which lendlease will respond to enquiries or feedback from the community o to resolve any issues and mediate any disputes that may arise in relation to environmental management

and delivery of the project. Key community groups include local businesses, residents and interest groups (environmental and commercial). Information prepared for distribution to the community will be tailored to the needs of the target group and approved by the Sydney Metro prior to release. It may address project progress, traffic disruptions and controls, temporary detours, work outside normal hours and may be provided through various forms including: • As a community notice; • As advertisements (e.g. progress updates, road closures, disruption to traffic); • Newsletters; • Brochures; • On the internet; and / or • On noticeboards. Please refer to the Lendlease Community Communication Strategy – Demolition, for all aspects and further detail relating to community management for the project.

8.2. Complaints Management

Management of complaints is detailed within the 9-19 Elizabeth Street Demolition Community Communications Strategy (CCS), and outlined below. Complaints may be received directly by members of the project team or indirectly via Sydney Metro’s Community Information Line, postal address and email address. Senior members from the project team will be on call to receive complaints at all times and will manage all phone complaints outside of business hours. This responsibility will be managed and shared




Date: 04/03/18

between project team members on a rostered basis. Complaints will be managed in accordance with the Sydney Metro Construction Complaints Management System (CCMS) and Sydney Metro Overarching Community Communications Strategy (OCCS). This includes resolving complaints to the satisfaction of all stakeholders or escalating complaints to Sydney Metro or the Community Complaints Commissioner. The procedures for responding to complaints will be covered in the project induction for all staff and contractors. All complaints will be dealt with in a responsive and efficient manner to ensure that stakeholders see their concerns are being managed effectively and promptly. Complaints will be responded to in the following way: • After receiving a complaint, it is immediately investigated • If it does not relate to demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth St work, the complaint is given to Sydney Metro • An initial call is made to the complainant within 2 hours (if the complaint is received by phone or where a telephone

number was provided). Alternatively, a written response is provided within 24 hours. • The complainant is kept informed of the process until the complaint is resolved • Actions are taken and measures implemented to prevent the reoccurrence of the complaint • The complaint is closed out within an agreed timeframe (agreed with complainant) • Complaints that cannot be resolved are escalated to Sydney Metro or the Community Complaints Commissioner to

resolve. We will comply with any directions from Sydney Metro which may incorporate recommendations from the Community Complaints Commissioner in relation to resolving escalated complaints

• All complaints are reported to Sydney Metro daily • All complaints are recorded on the Consultation Manager database

8.3. Government Agencies and External Stakeholders

Consultation with a range of non-community, external stakeholders will be required throughout the project. Lendlease will consult and co-operate with all relevant regulatory agencies in meeting the Project environmental requirements and will permit those agencies to audit project activities for regulatory compliance. Initially the MCoA requires Lendlease to consult with specific authorities and stakeholders in the preparation of this CEMP and associated sub plans. Table 8 indicates approval required (A), endorsement required (E), consultation (C) and submit for information (I) required by the MCoA for the various documents. External stakeholders include TfNSW/Sydney Metro, Department of Planning and Environment (DPE), EPA, OEH, Roads and Maritime Services, Sydney Coordination Office, Sydney Trains, City of Sydney Council, Members of Public (Community), other relevant third party agencies, government authorities and organisations. External communication methods include: • Site meetings with Sydney Metro; • All significant incidents notified to Sydney Metro and ER/Approving Authority; • Meetings and correspondence with interested parties (e.g. City of Sydney Council, EPA, bus & coach operators, taxi

operators, NSW Police, NSW Fire & Rescue, NSW Ambulance Service and other key stakeholders) as necessary; and • Discussions with adjoining land owners / neighbours and the community who may be affected by the project in

accordance with the Community Consultation Strategy (CCS). An up-to-date list of emergency response personnel and relevant organisations (emergency services, EPA, etc.) will also be maintained at the main office and site compounds, for any potential environmental incident reporting and management required to be undertaken in accordance with this CEMP and Sydney Metro Incident Classification & Reporting Procedure SM-17- 00000096. A copy of this emergency contact list is provided in Table 18. A list of relevant contacts for project stakeholders will be maintained by the Environmental Manager and the Community and Stakeholder Manager on site.




Date: 04/03/18

9. Incidents and Emergencies

Environmental Incidents and Emergencies will be managed in accordance with Lendlease EMS procedure LLE702 – Environmental Incidents and Emergencies and Sydney Metro Environmental Incident Classification & Reporting Procedure SM-17-00000096. Activities that are associated with potential or major environmental incidents are identified in the respective Management Plans. Incident management procedures are included in Appendix E of this CEMP. It is noted that the MCoA defines an incident as an occurrence or set of circumstances that causes, or threatens to cause, material harm to the environment, community or any member of the community, being actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to threatened species, endangered ecological communities or ecosystems that is not trivial

9.1. Emergency Planning

Lendlease acknowledge that the key to effective incident prevention on site is via ongoing monitoring, surveillance and training. During the course of the project, the following preventative strategies will be implemented onsite: • daily monitoring of active work sites; • completion of weekly Environmental Inspection Checklist (LLE703A); • issue and quick close-out of non-compliance notices (as required); • prompt maintenance and repairs; • ongoing environmental training; • environmental audits of worksites, sub-contractors and general compliance; and • environmental and safety information on hazardous substances (e.g. SDS) will be available at the main site office and

where such substances are to be stored. Emergency response equipment including bunds, absorbent material, MSDS sheets, spill kits, sandbags and sediment fence will be located at the site compound. Personnel will be provided with training and instructions for use. An up-to-date list of emergency response personnel and relevant organisations (emergency services, EPA, etc.) will be maintained at the main office and site compounds. A copy of this emergency contact list is provided in Table 18.

9.2. Incidents and Emergency Response

An environmental incident may include a major spillage or leak, failure of a pollution control device such as a bund, major settlement, catastrophic events (i.e. flood or fires) or unauthorised damage to protected heritage items. All environmental incident reporting and management will be undertaken in accordance with this CEMP and Sydney Metro Incident Classification & Reporting Procedure SM-17- 00000096. Incident and emergency management procedures for conceivable events (i.e. spills, sediment control device failure, etc.) are provided within Appendix E. The following steps must be taken when an environmental incident occurs that creates an emergency situation: Isolate the Area • Stop work in the area, barricade it and make it safe; • Do not let workers, disturb or aggravate the hazard; and • Where necessary, implement emergency evacuation procedures (ref to LLE602 Emergency Preparedness). Attend to/Minimise Environmental Damage • Take immediate actions needed to control, localise and minimise the damage; • Organise remedial and/or repair works to be undertaken promptly. Notify Company Management, Client and Emergency Authorities • The project’s Emergency Controller / Warden will ascertain whether the emergency can be brought under control by

project personnel or whether the Fire Brigade or Emergency Services are required and notify if necessary.




Date: 04/03/18

• Advise the Project Director and Environmental Manager of the incident/emergency • Project Director and/or Environmental Manager will report to the Regional Environment and Sustainability Manager (as

required) • Immediately advise the Sydney Metro representative verbally • The Environmental Manager and/or the Regional Environment and Sustainability Manager will advise the following

organisation if the incident ‘causes or threatens to cause material harm to the environment’ immediately in accordance with POEO Act requirements:

o EPA; o Ministry of Health (via the Public Health Unit); o Work Cover Authority; o Local Authority (i.e. council) if the EPA is not the appropriate authority; and o Fire and Rescue NSW.

Remedial Action/Responding to Notices • Ensure prompt remedial action is taken after an incident which can help to reduce any potential penalty; Ensure a

document “paper trail” is kept of all remedial actions which are taken. • Obtain Corporate Counsel’s advice if a statutory notice is issued or likely to be issued (if you disobeythem, the result

could be prosecution). Ensure that legal advice is obtained before any remedial action is taken (if the environmental authority becomes aware of remedial steps, it can be used as particulars of a breach, i.e. “why didn’t you do this before the accident?”).

Public Relations/Dealing with the Media • If required, the Corporate Communications Manager will speak to the media on behalf of the Company. Define the problem • establish the details of the immediate problem to facilitate the identification of short term response options.

Manage the situation • Ensure safety of any person involved is maintained • Minimise environmental damage as quickly as possible. In a spill situation, use sandbags, absorbent material, soil, an

excavation or barrier to prevent the pollutant from reaching any drainage or watercourse • Arrange resources to assist in managing and making good any residual issues.

After the event • develop an action plan to prevent a similar incident occurring again; • prepare a report on the incident for submission to the Regional Environment and Sustainability Manager and Sydney

Metro; Incidents will be investigated in accordance with Section 9.5 of this plan.

9.2.1. Incident Classification

All environmental incidents and non-conformances will be reported to the ER and Sydney Metro in accordance with Sydney Metro Incident Classification & Reporting Procedure SM-17- 00000096. Incident classifications are outlined below.




Date: 04/03/18

Environmental Incident Classification

Class 3 Class 2 Class 1

Long-term environmental impairment in neighbouring or valued ecosystems Extensive remediation required

Irreversible large-scale environmental impact with loss of valued ecosystems

Table 96 - Environmental Incident Classifications

9.3. Notification

The Environmental Manager will notify the Project Director of all environmental incidents. Lendlease’s NSW Environment and Sustainability Manager will be notified of any incidents which may require agency or regulator notification. Immediate notification will be provided to Sydney Metro by telephone initially and followed up in writing within 48 hours, of any breach, potential breach, non-compliance or potential non-compliance with the conditions of approval, requirements of any of the environmental documents or relevant legislation. The ER will also be immediately notified of any incidents. The Sydney Metro environmental incident/non-compliance reporting procedure is shown in Figure 7 and will be implemented for the project. DPE notification requirements are outlined in CoA A41-A44 as tabulated below. Any incidents will be notified to the Secretary in accordance with these requirements. Sydney Metro will undertake the notification to DPE based on information/notification from Lendlease.

CoA Requirement

A41 The Secretary must be notified as soon as possible and in any event within 24 hours of any incident. Note: An incident in regards to this condition is defined as an occurrence or set of circumstances that causes, or threatens to cause, material harm to the environment, community or any member of the community, being actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to threatened species, endangered ecological communities or ecosystems that is not trivial

A42 Notification of an incident under Condition A41 of this approval must include the time and date of the incident, details of the incident and must identify any non-compliance with this approval.

A43 Any requirements of the Secretary or Relevant Public Authority (as determined by the Secretary) to address the cause or impact of an incident reported in accordance with Condition A41 of this approval, must be met within the timeframe determined by the Secretary or relevant public authority.

A44 If statutory notification is given to the EPA as required under the POEO Act in relation to the CSSI, such notification must also be provided to the Secretary for information within 24 hours after the notification was given to the EPA.

Table 107 - Incident Notification to DPE

The EPA must be notified immediately of all pollution incidents that cause or threaten material harm to the environment. Harm to the environment is “material” if the effect (or potential effect) from an incident on the health or safety of humans or ecosystems is not trivial and or results in actual or potential loss or property damage of an amount, or amounts in aggregate, exceeding $10,000. Incidents requiring notification to the EPA must also be immediately notified to the Regional Environment and Sustainability Manager. If an incident presents an immediate threat to human health or property, 000 is to be called in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Construction Health and Safety Management Plan.




Date: 04/03/18

The EPA Environment Line is to be contacted on 131 555.

The notification will need to include information on:

• The time, date, nature, duration and location of the incident • The location of the place where pollution is occurring or is likely to occur • The nature, the estimated quantity or volume and the concentration of any pollutants involved • The circumstances in which the incident occurred (including the cause of the incident, if known) • The action taken or proposed to be taken to deal with the incident and any resulting pollution or threatened pollution • Other information prescribed by the regulations

In addition to notifying the EPA of pollution incidents other authorities as outlined below must also be notified immediately:

• The Ministry of Health (via the local Public Health Unit – (02) 9391 9000) • SafeWork NSW (13 10 50) • City of Sydney Council – (02) 9265 9333 • Fire and Rescue NSW on 000 Regardless of the actual or potential impact, these authorities must be notified under the amended legislation for all notifiable pollution incidents. Further information in relation to the incident must be provided immediately if it becomes available after the initial notification. Records of contact with and details of the information provided to external authorities must be maintained in the project records.

9.5. Incident Investigation

All incidents will be documented, investigations conducted and action plans established in order that the event does not occur again. Where lessons are learnt from the investigation or current procedures are identified as being ineffective, the CEMP will be revised by the Environmental Manager to include the improved procedures or requirement.

9.5.1. Investigation Process

The investigation process involves the following steps: • Observe, photograph and/or take sketches of the scene of the incident; • Interview the person(s) involved in the incident Individually; • Obtain information from specialist or experts, if necessary.

When interviewing person(s) involved or witnesses to the incident, typical questions to ask are: • What time did the incident occur? • What were people doing immediately before the incident? • Were people working where or near where the incident occurred? • What plant and/or equipment was being used? • What were the weather conditions? • What instructions had been issued prior to the incident and by whom? • Who was the first person at the scene?

9.5.2. Collecting Evidence

• Compile a “snapshot” of the environmental system at the time of the incident; • Avoid speculation, conjecture, rumours and “guesswork” about what happened, or hasty conclusions. Be careful when

stating what action to take to prevent recurrence; • Consider consistency between different reports (including other statutory reports and internal reports to senior

management or the Board); • Keep documents and information confidential (be sensitive about media/public knowledge);




Date: 04/03/18

• Minimise the distribution of information (avoid widely distributing emails); • Collate all relevant documentation/evidence as early as possible. Obtain statements or proofs ofevidence from all

potential witnesses (including non-workers); and • If the incident is a Notifiable Incident all reports etc., should be coordinated by Legal Counsel (otherwise they may not be

privileged).

9.5.3. ICAM Investigations

• The person asigned to undertake the ICAM investigations will use LLE604E, and review findings with the State Environment and Sustainability Manager and National Environment Manager

• The purpose of the investigation, is to determine if there is any breakdown in the application of the system, any deficiencies in the system and in such cases the investigation of these issues should remain privileged. Effective action should be taken, to correct any immediate and existing danger and to prevent repetition of the incident.

• By coordinating the investigation through Corporate Counsel, it may be possible to maintain documents/reports under privilege and protect information from disclosure.

• Ensure Corporate Counsel is consulted before any expert reports/audits etc., are obtained. These should be “privileged and confidential”. All documents provided to third parties (e.g. environmental authorities) should first be reviewed by Corporate Counsel.

• Submit the ICAM Report to the: o Project Manager o the relevant state Operations Manager o the State Environment and Sustainability Manager o National Environment and Sustainability Manager

as soon as practical after the event. The State Environment and Sustainability Manager will co-ordinate a management review and a debrief of the ICAM investigation. This management review will be documented within the LLE604B.

9.6. External Investigations undertaken by Regulatory Authorities

9.6.1. Working with Regulatory Authorities

• Workers must cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to an environmental authority inspector. It is also important to balance the need to retain control over information with the goal of fostering and preserving good long term relationships with environmental authorities;

• Review the evidence collected by the environmental authority (samples, photos etc.); • If the environmental authority requests a formal interview, kindly ask for the questions in writing; • Ensure statements reviewed by Lendlease Legal Counsel prior to signing and issuing; • Ensure witnesses are briefed by Legal Counsel as early as possible; and • When issued with an environmental authority’s notice, refer to Lendlease Corporate Counsel’s immediately.




Date: 04/03/18

10. Inspection, Monitoring, Auditing and Reporting

In accordance with MCoA A28, A29 and A30, a compliance tracking program must be developed and implemented during construction works in order to monitor compliance with the terms of the project approval. 9-19 Elizabeth St demolition compliance tracking will be undertaken in accordance with the Sydney Metro Compliance Tracking Program (CTP) prepared by Sydney Metro to meet MCoA A28. A compliance matrix has been established for the works incorporating MCoA, licence conditions, permits and other approvals relevant to the 9-19 demolition works to track issues and ensure compliance issues are addressed and closed out. In addition to reporting required under the CTP, the Lendlease Environmental Manager will also prepare a summary report or supply relevant documentation on environmental matters to Sydney Metro on a monthly basis, with a detailed report on environmental performance prepared quarterly. The Report will include details on: • Summary of works undertaken for the relevant reporting period; • All cases of non-compliance with environmental obligations and the CEMP; • Inspections by agencies and actions resulting from the inspection; • Actioning and reporting of all incidents; • Frequency of environmental checklists and actioning of concerns; • Any client issues not addressed after two months. • Monitoring results; • Complaints; • Audits conducted (internal and external); and • Additional reporting will include written notification, within 5 days, of a visit to site by DPE. A monthly report will also be submitted to Lendlease’s Regional Environment and Sustainability Manager detailing performance of the project against key performance criteria. Company Procedure LLE703 – Environmental Monitoring and Inspection shall be followed when planning monitoring and inspection programs.

10.1. Environmental Inspections

10.1.1. Environmental Management Checklists

The effectiveness of environmental protection measures described in this CEMP and sub plans will be assessed on a weekly basis by environmental staff. The weekly checklist for this project is provided in Appendix D. The purpose of the checklist is to: • Provide a surveillance tool to ensure that safeguards are being implemented; • Identify where problems might be occurring; • Identify where sound environmental practices are not being implemented; and • Facilitate the identification and early resolution of problems. Weekly environmental inspections will monitor aspects including; • Review of relevant works approvals and permits • Erosion and sediment controls and review of associated plans • Drainage protection • Air quality, dust emmissions and mitigating controls • Heritage impacts • Noise and vibration management including approved working hours, required respites and safe working distances • Hazardous substances and dangerous goods • Waste management, recycling and recovery




Date: 04/03/18

Any non-conformances identified through the checklist process will be highlighted and an environmental inspection report (minor issues) or an environmental improvement notice/environmental incident report will be completed by the Environment Manager, Environmental Advisors or other appropriately qualified persons as deemed by the Environment Manager. The checklist will remain ‘open’ until: • The issue has been resolved; • A new or revised procedure has been established and implemented; or • Training has been provided to relevant personnel/ sub-contractors.

10.2. Environmental Monitoring

Environmental monitoring will involve collecting and interpreting data to provide quantification of the effectiveness of the CEMP and sub plans. As required under MCoA C9, Construction Monitoring Programs are required to be prepared in consultation with the relevant government agencies. As per the Staging Report, a Construction Noise and Vibration Monitoring Program is required for demolition works at 9-19 Elizabeth St (MP ISD – Demolition), which is included within the respective Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan - Demolition (CNVMP) and includes provision of ‘realtime’ noise and vibration monitoring. This program has been developed in compliance with MCoA C11 with all ‘realtime’ noise and vibration monitoring data being made available to DPE, EPA, the construction team, Sydney Metro, ER and AA. It is noted that ‘Blasting’ (a feature of the broader Sydney Metro City and Southwest project) is not required for the demolition of 9-19 Elizabeth Street and as a result a construction monitoring program not required. Also, in accordance with the Staging Report, negligible impact to surface and groundwater is anticipated and as such, associated monitoring programs have not been developed. These aspects will be managed by the site environmental management, inspection and auditing procedures. The timing, frequency, methodology, locations and responsibilities for the proposed environmental monitoring programs are specified in the respective Sub plans, and summarised in Table 20. The monitoring programs range from those involving formal sample collection, analysis and measurement, to those involving a more qualitative assessment. Irrespective of the type of monitoring conducted, the results will be used to identify potential or actual problems arising from construction processes. Where monitoring methods permit, results will be obtained at the time of the assessment and analysed immediately by the Environmental Manager or Environmental Advisor. This will allow a prompt response to be initiated should an exceedance of accepted levels/criteria be identified. Where this cannot be achieved, preliminary results will be requested as soon as possible following the monitoring episode with a full report to follow.




Date: 04/03/18

Where a non-conformance is detected or monitoring results are outside of the expected range, the process described in Section 10.4 will be implemented, which would include: • The results will be analysed by the Environmental Manager or Environmental Advisor in more detail with the view of

determining possible causes for the non-conformance; • A site inspection will be undertaken by the Environmental Manager or Environmental Advisor; • Relevant personnel will be contacted and advised of the problem. This will include notification to the ER and the AA

(where relevant); • An agreed action will be identified; or • Action will be implemented to rectify the problem. A non-conformance Environmental Incident Report and/or Environmental Improvement Notice may be issued by the Environmental Manager in response to the problem if it is found to be construction related. The timing for any improvement will be agreed between the Construction Manager and Environmental Manager based on the level of risk e.g. a significant risk will require immediate action.

Monitoring Requirement Frequency (& Location)

Noise Monitoring Continuous ‘realtime’ monitoring and attended monitoring at the commencement of each work activity to confirm forecasts in the CNVIS

Vibration Monitoring Continuous ‘realtime’ monitoring and attended monitoring at the commencement of each work activity to confirm forecasts in the CNVIS

Dust Monitoring Visual monitoring completed throughout duration of works and during weekly environment inspections

Erosion and Sediment Control Monitoring

Weekly by environmental staff and as soon as practicable after any major rainfall event; i.e. 10mm in 24 hours

Table 2013 - Monitoring Frequencies

Note: These are the standard monitoring requirements. In the event of incident or complaint, specific monitoring may be required.

10.3. Environmental Audits

10.3.1. Internal Lendlease Audits

Internal environmental compliance audits will be conducted by the Environmental Manager.

10.4. Environmental Non-conformance, Preventative and Corrective Action Systems

Non-conformances will be resolved in accordance with the Lendlease Company Procedure LLE107 - Nonconformity, Corrective Action and Preventive Action and Sydney Metro Environmental Incident Classification & Reporting Procedure SM-17-00000096. The Environmental Manager will issue an Environmental Inspection Report or an Environmental Improvement Notice in response to poor or inappropriate work methods, environmental controls, equipment selection, maintenance of controls, or other identified concern. Environmental non-compliance reports will be issued to Sydney Metro within 48 hours of identification. An Environmental Inspection Report will be issued for deficiencies that are minor in nature but require rectification. An Environmental Improvement Notice will be issued for more serious issues that present an immediate need for action or for repeat non-conformances where a warning is required to be issued for poor performance. In the event of a non-conformance: • The nature of the event will be investigated by the Environmental Manager; • Advice may be sought from a specialist; • Monitoring may be undertaken; • The effectiveness or need for new/additional controls will be reviewed by the Environment Manager (or delegated

persons) who if required, will assign appropriate person/s with preventative and corrective actions to be closed out according to set time frames. The time frames will be set on the potential magnitude and likelihood of the environmental risk of the non-conformance identified;

• Strategies will be identified to prevent reoccurrence; • Environmental documentation will be reviewed and revised; • In extreme cases hold points will be placed on the area until appropriate actions have been undertaken; and • If the environmental non-conformance is significant it will be documented on the project database. The following reporting hierarchy describes the level of intervention. Environmental Inspection Checklist (LLE703A) These are internal documents as the primary documentation to ensure that environmental safeguards are being implemented on an on-going basis. Non-conformances identified as part of the weekly inspections will be actioned and closed out in a timeframe agreed to between the Environmental Manager or Coordinator and relevant member of the construction team on site. An example is the Weekly Environmental Checklist included as Appendix D to this CEMP.




Date: 04/03/18

Environmental Observation Report (LLE703B) These are used to report internal rectification of and inattention, or careless work that could result in environmental harm of low to moderate consequences. An Action Plan is to be raised and allocated to the responsible person for review and implementation accordingly. An EOR is attached in Appendix D. Environmental Improvement Notice (LLE703C) When an Observation is raised of a significant nature, and where deemed necessary by the project environment representative, an LLE703C Environmental Improvement Notice may be issued to either Engineering Supervisor or the subcontractor supervisor in charge of the work activity and/or an individual. Engineering or individual receiving the improvement notice will be required to respond to the agreed corrective action as outlined on the notice. The improvement notice must be entered as part of the associated Action Plan. The EIN template is attached in Appendix D. Repetitive observations that have significant hazards will be reviewed to check that a system failure is not occurring.

10.5. Compliance Reporting

Reports on compliance with the planning approval or any other statutory requirements will be submitted to Sydney Metro by the Environmental Manager for inclusion in the Pre-Construction Compliance Report (CoA A31), and ongoing Construction Compliance Reports prepared by Sydney Metro, endorsed by the ER and submitted by Sydney Metro to the Secretary for information on a quarterly basis. The Reports will include: • a results summary and analysis of environmental monitoring; • the number of any complaints received, including a summary of main areas of complaint, action taken, response given

and proposed strategies for reducing the recurrence of such complaints; • details of any review of, and minor amendments made to, the CEMP as a result of construction carried out during the

reporting period; • a register of any consistency assessments undertaken and their status; • results of any independent environmental audits and details of any actions taken in response to the recommendations of

an audit; • a summary of all incidents notified in accordance with Condition A41 and Condition A44 of this approval; and • any other matter relating to compliance with the terms of this approval or as requested by the Secretary. The Compliance Tracking Reports will be provided to the Environmental Representative for endorsement.

10.5.1. Consistency Assessments

Review of construction methodologies and permanent design via design reports and design briefings to ensure consistency and compliance with the approved project will be completed on an ongoing basis throughout the life of the project and during the implementation of this CEMP. A departure register will be maintained, detailing potential or proposed departures from the EIS, PIR, reference design and planning approval to inform if the Lendlease solutions will require consistency assessment or planning modification. All consistency assessments will be managed by the Project Environment Manager in coordination with the Project Director. The ER will review any draft consistency assessment and provide advice on any additional mitigation measures required to minimise the impact of the work. Consistency assessments will be issued to Sydney Metro using the Sydney Metro Planning Approval Consistency Procedure (SM ES –PW-414). Where a planning modification is considered to be required, the proposed works and/or design will be issued to Sydney Metro for further review and potential discussion with Department of Planning and Environment.




Date: 04/03/18

11. Records

11.1. Records

The Environmental Manager will maintain the following records: • The CEMP (all versions), • Regulatory licences and permits; • Regulatory authority inspection reports; • Correspondence with regulatory authorities; • Monitoring results; • Employee induction and training records; • Environmental monitoring and inspection records; • Environmental accidents/incidents/emergency reports; • Non-conformance reports; • Compliance reports; • Audit reports • Waste quantity reports; • Any relevant reports submitted to the regularatiry authorities or Governement agencies; and • Management review minutes and action taken.

11.2. Document and Data Control

The Environmental Manager will coordinate the preparation, review and distribution, as appropriate, of the environmental documents listed above. During construction, environmental documents will be stored at the main site office and can be accessed on request to the Environmental Manager. A document and data control procedure will be implemented to control the flow of documents and data within Lendlease and between Lendlease and the client, stakeholders and sub-contractors. Documents and data that are to be issued and liable to change will be controlled to ensure that they are approved before issue and that the current issue or revision is known to and available to those requiring them. Controlled documents and data will be uniquely identified and will bear a defined revision number recorded on each page of the document. Where changes are required to be made to the CEMP document, it will be withdrawn and reissued as a new revision. Data will be issued on a revision basis only. Obsolete documents and data will be kept for contractual or other reasons, but will be clearly marked ‘superseded’.




Date: 04/03/18

12. Review and Improvement of the CEMP

12.1. Environmental Management Review

Lendlease’s Environmental Manager will review the CEMP and sub plans at least every six months from construction commencement. Between the scheduled reviews, a register of issues will be maintained to ensure that any issue raised by internal and external personnel associated with the Project is recorded. The purpose of the review is to ensure that the system is meeting the requirements of the standards, policies and objectives and, if not, to amend the CEMP to ensure compliance. The Project Director will review and approve any changes. The review will consider: • Sydney Metro comments; • Site personnel comments; • Agency comments; • Audit findings; • Environmental monitoring records; • Complaints; • Inspection results; • Details of corrective and preventative actions taken; • Environmental non-conformances; • Incident reports; • Changes in organisation structures and responsibilities; • The extent of compliance with objectives and targets and; and • The effect of changes in standards and legislation.

12.2. Continual Improvement

Continual improvement of the CEMP and sub plans will be achieved by the continual evaluation of environmental management performance against environmental policies, objectives and targets for the purpose of identifying opportunities for improvement. The continual improvement process will be designed to: • Identify areas of opportunity for improvement of environmental management which leads to improved environmental

performance; • Determine the root cause or causes of non-conformances and deficiencies; • Develop and implement a plan of corrective and preventative action to address non-conformances and deficiencies; • Verify the effectiveness of the corrective and preventative actions; • Document any changes in procedures resulting from process improvement; and • Make comparisons with objectives and targets.

Appendix A - Legal and Other Requirements




Legal and Other Requirements Summary of Obligations Relevance to the Project / Notes and System

Environmental Planning Legislation

Environmental Planning and Assessment

Act 1979

This Act establishes a system of environmental planning and assessment of development proposals for

the State.

High Relevance

The development consent conditions and obligations

are incorporated into the specification documents and

Lendlease’s CEMP.

Local Government Act 1993

Local Government (General) Regulation

2005

The Local Government Act and Local Government (General) Regulation provide a legal framework for an

environmentally responsible system of Local Government including the responsibility to administer various

regulatory systems (e.g. Environmental Planning, Development Consents and Conditions of Approval).

Medium Relevance

City of Sydney Council (the Local Government body for

this area) has a number of powers to control local

issues including Development Applications (other than

state significant development).

Roads Act 1993

Roads (General) Regulation 2000

This Act and Regulation primarily provide for such things as the opening and closing of public roads,

identification of road boundaries and road widening, road levels, classification of public roads, road work,

protection of public road and regulation of traffic, regulation of work, structures and activities.

Medium Relevance

This Act is mostly an administrative Act for RMS and has

minor relevance to carrying out the works.

Soil Conservation Act 1938 This Act makes provision for the conservation of soil resources, farm water resources and the mitigation of

erosion. The Act is binding on the Crown, however the Crown is not liable for prosecution. The Act provides

for notification in the government gazette catchments where erosion is liable to cause degradation of

rivers; lakes etc. (i.e. protected land).

No Relevance

This Act has low relevance as the site is not located

within “protected land”. Further, such notification has

not been given to the owner of the land.

Environment Protection and Biodiversity

Conservation Act 1999 (Cwth)

The main purpose of this Act is to provide for the protection of the environment especially those aspects that

are of national environmental importance and to promote ecological sustainable development. The Act

binds the Crown. Do not take, use, keep or interfere with “nationally significant” cultural and natural

resources, protected wildlife and protected plants without Approval.

No Relevance

This Act is of little relevance to the project as it has been

determined the activity does not to trigger the provisions

of the Act.

Native Vegetation Act 2003

Native Vegetation Regulation 2013

This Act and Regulation provide for the conservation and management of Native Vegetation by requiring

Development Consent to be obtained for the clearing of Native vegetation.

Section 12 of the Native Vegetation Act 2003 excludes the clearing of land carried out in accordance with

consent under Division 3 of Part 9 of the Roads Act 1993. Clearing of native vegetation required for

construction of the work under the contract would be covered by such consent.

Low Relevance

Clearing of native vegetation is not required as part of

the works.





The Native Vegetation Regulation 2013 allows for the development of self-assessable codes for clearing of

feral species, clearing of invasive species, environmental works, thinning native vegetation, clearing of

paddock trees, and clearing of mulga.

Land and Environment Court Act 1979 The Land and Environment Court is constituted under this Act. The jurisdiction of the Court is divided into

numerous classes. The relevant classes for the project covers matter such as the prosecution for offences

under various environmental legislation and to appeal against conditions of approvals, permits or orders.

Low Relevance

The relevance of this Act would only apply to work under

the contract if Lendlease were prosecuted for an

Environmental Offence.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions

National Greenhouse and Energy

Reporting Act 2007

Corporations emitting more than 50kT of carbon dioxide equivalent units are required to register and report

their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for all Facilities in which they have Operational Control.

Facilities emitting more than 25kT of carbon dioxide equivalent units must register and report Scope 1 and

Scope 2 emissions.

High Relevance

Lendlease is a registered entity under this act. As such,

where Lendlease has Operational Control, the Scope 1

and Scope 2 emissions associated with the project must

be reported. This includes the collation and reporting of

subcontractors site emissions. Lendlease does have

Operational Control of the project site.

Contaminated Land Legislation

Contaminated Land Management Act

1997

This Act provides for a process to investigate and remediate land that has been contaminated and presents

a significant risk of harm to human health. Section 60 of the Act is a “Duty to Report Contamination”. This

duty applies to owners of land and persons who become aware their activities have contaminated the land.

Medium Relevance

The relevance of this Act to the contractor will be in the

event suspected or potentially contaminated ground is

found during construction activities.

Fire Control Legislation

Rural Fires Act 1997 This Act is intended to prevent, mitigate and suppress bush and other fires. It places a duty on Lendlease

as the occupier of the site to extinguish fires during bush fire danger periods or if unable to do so notify

appropriate firefighting authorities of the existence of the fire and its location.

Low Relevance

This site and surrounding areas are not prone to bush

fires.

Hazardous Substances Legislation

Environmentally Hazardous Chemicals

Act 1985

This Act prohibits the manufacturing, processing, keeping, distributing, conveying, using, selling or

disposing of an environmental hazardous chemical or waste (prescribed activity) except under the

Low Relevance





provisions of a chemical control or a licence. The EPA is required to prepare inventories of environmentally

hazardous chemicals and declared chemical wastes.

It is not anticipated any environmentally hazardous

chemicals or declared chemical waste will be used or

stored on the site. The Act therefore has little relevance

to the site other than being aware of the existence of

registers of declared chemical wastes and

environmentally hazardous chemicals.

Dangerous Goods (Road and Rail

Transport) Act 2008

The purpose of this Act is to regulate the transport of Dangerous Goods by road and rail in order to

promote public safety and protect property and the environment. The transport of Dangerous Goods is

required to be appropriately licensed (both vehicle and driver).

Depending on the quantities being transported, the Act outlines specific requirements for including

appropriate placards on the transport vehicle, emergency procedures, PPE, manifest documentation and

fire extinguishers.

High Relevance

The relevance of the Act is in respect to the transport of

dangerous good to & from the site. The project will

require the use of a variety of dangerous goods.

Lendlease will need to review and ensure Dangerous

Goods requirements are addressed where transported

by its vehicles, plant and equipment.

Water Management Act 2000

Water Management (General) Regulation

2004

This Act repeals the Rivers and Foreshores Improvement Act, 1948 and the Water Act, 1912. The

provisions of both the aforesaid Acts are progressively rescinded as Water Management Plans are

prepared and gazetted for catchment areas within the state.

This Act and Regulation provide for the protection, conservation and ecologically sustainable development

of water sources of the State and in particular to protect, enhance and restore water sources and their

associated ecosystems.

No Relevance

This Act has no direct relevance at this time to the

construction work under this contract. The project

approval does not trigger the provisions of this Act.

Dams Safety Act 1978 This Act constitutes the Dams Safety Committee and confers and imposes on the Committee functions

relating to the safety of certain prescribed dams.

No Relevance

It is unlikely any action in respect to this project will

endanger the safety of any prescribed dam

Coastal Protection Act 1979 This Act requires public authorities to notify the Coastal Council of NSW of any information, proposed

activity or work that in the opinion of the public authority is relevant to the exercise of the function of the

Coastal Council. It further empowers the Minister for the Department of Commerce to require public

authorities to obtain consent prior to carrying out development in the coastal zone or giving consent to a

person to occupy or carry out development in the coastal zone.

No Relevance

act.





National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 The relevance of this Act is firstly in respect to the protection and preservation of aboriginal artefacts.

Discovery of material on site suspected as being of aboriginal origin must be reported and protected

pending assessment and direction by the Client’s Representative.

Secondly it is an offence under Part 8A of this Act to pick or harm threatened species. (Refer to the notes

under the Threatened Species Conservation Act for more information)

Low Relevance

No identified aboriginal artefacts have been identified

within the construction area. The only relevance would

be if new previous unknown artefacts were discovered

during construction

Threatened Species Conservation Act

1995

Threatened Species Conservation

Regulation 2002

Threatened Species Conservation

(Savings and Transitional) Regulation

1996

This Act and Regulations provide for obtaining licenses to harm or pick threatened species populations or

ecological communities whether plant or animal or to damage any critical habitat. The offence of picking

or harming any threatened species is covered under the National Parks & Wildlife Act Part 8A. It is a

defence under Part 8A of that Act if the offence was essential to carrying out development that is in

accordance with a Development Consent within the meaning of the EP&A Act or an approval within the

meaning of Part 5 of the EP&A Act.

No Relevance

No threatened species of flora or fauna listed in the

schedules of this Act have been identified within the

area of the proposed work.

Fisheries Management Act 1994 This Act is applicable to all waters within the state including private and public waters and all permanent

and intermittent waters. The Act is most relevant in respect to maintaining water quality and ensuring no

polluted water from site works enters streams, creeks and waterways. In addition this Act also has

relevance for the removal of marine vegetation.

Low Relevance

Along with the POEO Act water discharging from the

site must not pollute adjacent streams or watercourses.

Marine Pollution Act 1987 This Act creates offences for discharges of oil, oily mixtures and noxious liquid substances from ships into

State waters.

No Relevance

The site is located adjacent to state waters and may

involve the use of applicable vessels.

Biosecurity Act 2015 (repealed the

Noxious Weeds Act 1993)

The Biosecurity Act outlines biosecurity risks and impacts, which in relation to the current assessment

includes those risks and impacts associated with weeds. Noxious weeds are to be managed in a way to

restrict their dispersal and establishment.

Low Relevance

No weeds have been identified within the demolition

project footprint.

Water Act 1912 This Act provides for licences to extract water for construction purposes either from surface or artesian

sources. Should construction water be extracted from surface (other than sedimentation ponds) or artesian

sources a licence will be required.

Low Relevance

It is not proposed that construction water will be

obtained from surface (eg creeks, lakes etc.) or artesian

sources.





Heritage Act 1977 This Act provides for the preservation and conservation of heritage items such as building, works, relic,

places of historic interest, scientific, cultural, social, archaeological, architectural, natural or aesthetic

significance.

Under this Act a relic means any deposit, object or material evidence which is 50 or more years old and

relates to the settlement of the area (not being an aboriginal settlement). It is an offence under this Act to

wilfully and knowingly damage or destroy items of heritage value.

Do not demolish damage, move or develop around any place, building, work, relic, moveable object,

precinct, or land that is the subject of an interim heritage order or listing on the State Heritage Register or

heritage listing in a Local Environmental Plan without an approval from the Heritage Council (NSW) or

local council.

Medium Relevance

Works will be undertaken adjacent to 48-50 Martin

Place, which is a locally and state listed heritage item.

Other heritage items in the vicinity of the works are the

former “MLC Building” 38–46 Martin Place, and

Bennelong Stormwater Channel No 29 located along

Elizabeth & Castlereagh Streets.

It is noted that this CEMP does not cover excavation

works or removal of the base slabs from the site, hence

unexpected archaeology will not be encountered.

Wilderness Act 1987 An Act to provide for the permanent protection of and proper management of Wilderness Areas and to

promote the education of the public in the appreciation, protection and management of wilderness. The

Act and associated Regulations provides a mechanism for the identification and declaration of Wilderness

places.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cwth)

This Act provides for the preservation and protection from injury or desecration to areas and objects of

particular significance to Aboriginals. Areas and objects can be protected by Ministerial Declaration and it

is then and offence to contravene such a declaration.

No Relevance

No areas or objects within the works site have been

identified as being subject to such a declaration and this

Act is of little relevance to the project.





Ozone Protection Act 1989 This Act provides for a system of controls and to regulate and prohibit the manufacture, sale, distribution,

use, emission, re-cycling & disposal of stratospheric ozone depleting substances and articles that contain

these substances.

The impact is that appropriately qualified people in accordance with this Act must undertake all servicing

and maintenance of this type of equipment.

Low Relevance

The relevance of this Act will relate to the use of

refrigerators and air conditioning units in site buildings

and vehicles which still contain CFCs. Such items are

unlikely to be found on site.

Protection of the Environment Operations

Act 1997

This Act is of most relevance to work being carried out under this contract. It integrates into one Act all the

controls necessary to regulate pollution and reduce degradation of the environment, provides for licensing

of scheduled development work, scheduled activities and for offences and prosecution under this Act.

High Relevance

Construction Noise and Vibration




Date: 04/03/18

REMM ID


Reference

NV1 The Construction Noise and Vibration Strategy would be implemented with the aim of achieving the noise management levels where feasible and reasonable. This would include the following example standard mitigation measures where feasible and reasonable: • Provision of noise barriers around each construction site • The coincidence of noisy plant working simultaneously close

together would be avoided • Offset distances between noisy plant and sensitive receivers

would be increased • Residential grade mufflers would be fitted to all mobile plant • Dampened rock hammers would be used • Non-tonal reversing alarms would be fitted to all permanent

mobile plant • High noise generating activities would be scheduled for less

sensitive period considering the nearby receivers • The layout of construction sites would consider opportunities to

shield receivers from noise. • This would also include carrying out the requirements in relation

to construction noise and vibration monitoring.

During construction

CNVMP

NV3 Where vibration levels are predicted to exceed the screening criteria, a more detailed assessment of the structure and attended vibration monitoring would be carried out to ensure vibration levels remain below appropriate limits for that structure. For heritage items, the more detailed assessment would specifically consider the heritage values of the structure in consultation with a heritage specialist to ensure sensitive heritage fabric is adequately monitored and managed.


CNVMP

NV4 Feasible and reasonable measures would be implemented to minimise ground borne noise where exceedances are predicted

During construction

CNVMP

Appendix H – Waste Management Strategy




Date: 04/03/18

The following Project Specific Waste Management Strategy is developed to identify and state the type of waste that is intended to be controlled and recycled where practical. It will be updated to reflect actual project specific bin types and locations (once confirmed) on commencement of construction. Objectives The key objective of this project waste management strategy is to ensure that waste for disposal and resource use are minimised through waste generation avoidance and resource reuse and recycling are maximised. To ensure this objective is achieved successfully, Lendlease will undertake the following: • It will be ensured that the measures are identified and implemented to minimise and manage waste and minimise

resource consumption throughout the construction of the Project. • It will be ensured that the preferred waste management hierarchy of avoidance, minimisation, reuse, recycling and

disposal are followed. • All construction personnel will be provided with an increased level of understanding and awareness of waste and

resource management issues. • Appropriate measures will be implemented to address the relevant CoA. • Appropriate measures will be implemented to comply with all relevant legislation and other requirements. • Unnecessary production of waste will be avoided where practical to do so, in accordance with the waste hierarchy as set

out by the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2001. • Waste materials will be disposed of in accordance with legislative requirements. • Sustainability objectives and commitments outlined within the CEMF and contract documents will be met. Environmental Requirements, Legislation and Guidelines Legislation Legislation and regulations relevant to waste and energy management includes: • Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act). • Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2014. • Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2001 (WARR Act). • Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 (CLM Act). • National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act). • Environmentally Hazardous Chemicals Act 1985 (EHC Act).

Avoidance/Reduction Reuse/Recycling Handling/Storage Disposal

According to waste hierarchy,

avoidance is the most

important priority. To avoid

the creation of waste during

construction, the following

measures will be employed:

Necessary planning will be

undertaken to ensure efficient

delivery and storage of

materials.

During procurement process,

packaging minimisation will

be highlighted as an important

element. Agreements will be

established with suppliers to

take back their own

packaging where possible. It

will also be ensured that

correct types and quantities of

materials are ordered to avoid

excess waste. Site activities

will be coordinated to

maximise efficient use of

materials. All material storage

areas will be protected from

weather.

Appropriately qualified and

trained personnel will be

employed to operator plant

and equipment.

Waste separation

and segregation

will be managed

on-site to facilitate

reuse and recycling

as a priority of the

waste

management

program as follows:

Waste segregation

onsite- waste

materials, including

spoil and

demolition waste,

will be separated

on-site into

dedicated

bins/areas for

either reuse on-site

or collection by a

waste contractor

and transport to

off-site facilities.

Waste separation

off-site- wastes will

be deposited into

one bin where no

space is available

for placement of

multiple bins, and

the waste will be

sorted off-site by a

licensed waste

contractor.

Where waste is required to be handled and

stored onsite prior to onsite reuse or off-site

recycling/disposal, it will be stored in

accordance with Waste Storage (Clause 42)

limits within schedule 1 of the POEO Act. The

following measures will be applied:

Spoil, topsoil and mulch will be stockpiled

onsite in allocated areas where appropriate,

and mitigation measures for dust control and

surface water management will be

implemented as per the CAQMP and the

CSWMP. Stockpiles will be clearly

signposted.

Liquid wastes will to be stored in appropriate

containers in bunded areas until transported

off-site. Bunded areas will have the capacity

to hold 110% of the liquid waste volume for

bulk storage.

Hazardous waste will be managed by

appropriately qualified and licensed

contractors, in accordance with the

requirements of the Environmentally

Hazardous Chemicals Act 1985 and the EPA

waste disposal guidelines.

All other recyclables or non-recyclables

wastes will to be stored in appropriate

receptacles in appropriate locations on-site

accessible to waste contractors who will

regularly remove/empty the bins to approved

disposal or recycling facilities.

Waste disposal

will be

undertaken in

accordance

with the POEO

Act and the

Waste

Avoidance and

Resources

Recovery Act

2001. Wastes

that are unable

to be reused or

recycled will be

disposed of off-

site to an EPA

approved waste

management

facility following

classification.

The locations of

waste

management/di

sposal facilities

will be finalised

prior to

construction

and this waste

management

strategy will be

updated

accordingly.

1.5. Governance

This OOH Work Protocol should be used in conjunction with the Sydney Metro Construction Environment Management Framework, the City & Southwest Construction Noise and Vibration Strategy and any applicable Environment Protection Licences. These documents establish minimum requirements for managing noise and vibration impacts on the City & Southwest project.

1.5.1. Construction Environment Management Framework

The Chatswood to Sydenham Submissions and Preferred Infrastructure Report (SPIR) contains the Sydney Metro Construction Environmental Management Framework (CEMF) as Appendix B. The CEMF represents Sydney Metro’s minimum requirements for environmental management and specifies a standard framework that each contractor must establish and document in their Construction Environmental Management Plan and sub-plans. These requirements include those relating to construction noise and vibration management as specified in Chapter 9.

1.5.2. Construction Noise and Vibration Strategy

Sydney Metro has developed a Construction Noise and Vibration Strategy (CNVS) for the City & Southwest project. The strategy:

Unclassified





Establishes a framework for managing construction noise and vibration impacts and adopting appropriate mitigation measures (including minimum requirements),

Forms Appendix C of the Chatswood to Sydenham SPIR,

Forms part of the contract requirements that contractors must comply with, and

Sets minimum requirements for all OOH work, including the need for and development of Construction Noise and Vibration Impact Statements.

1.5.2.1. Construction Noise and Vibration Impact Statements

A Construction Noise and Vibration Impact Statement (CNVIS) is a report that assesses and documents the anticipated noise and vibration impacts at sensitive receivers of proposed construction activities. In accordance with Condition E33 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval, a CNVIS is to be prepared for each construction site before construction noise and vibration impacts commence and include specific mitigation measures identified through consultation with affected sensitive receivers.

1.5.3. Environment Protection Licence

An Environment Protection Licence (EPL) is a regulatory approval issued to strategically control the localised, cumulative and acute impacts of pollution. The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is responsible for issuing EPLs for ‘scheduled activities’ under the Protection of the Environment Operations (POEO) Act 1997 (NSW).

Some aspects of the City & Southwest construction and operation works will constitute ‘scheduled activities’ under the POEO Act and therefore need to be subject to an EPL. City & Southwest contractors are required to obtain and comply with any EPLs as applicable to their scope of works.

The process for approving OOH work outside of those already permitted in accordance with an EPL, is governed by the conditions of the EPL. In order for these types of OOH work to be approved, an application to vary the EPL is to be prepared and submitted to the EPA for approval. The application is to be in accordance with the CNVS and EPL requirements.

OOH work that is subject to an EPL do not require approval in accordance with Condition E47 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval (i.e. this protocol).

Unclassified





1.6. Roles and Responsibilities

1.6.1. TfNSW Place Manager

A TfNSW Place Manager will be allocated to each site on the Chatswood to Sydenham portion of the City & Southwest project. The Place Manager is responsible for ensuring that all project communication requirements with the surrounding community are being complied with.

1.6.2. TfNSW Environment Manager

A TfNSW Environment Manager will be allocated to each contract package on the Chatswood to Sydenham portion of the City & Southwest project. The Environment Manager is responsible for ensuring that all environmental management requirements associated with their contract package are being complied with.

1.6.3. Independent Environmental Representative

Condition A22 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval requires an Environmental Representative (ER) to be appointed to the project to represent the NSW Department of Planning and Environment. The ER is to act as the Secretary’s independent point of contact for all environmental and planning approval compliance matters. Refer to Condition A24 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval for a comprehensive list of the ER’s responsibilities.

Sections 3.1.2.3 and 3.1.2.4 include descriptions of the ER’s responsibilities with respect to reviewing and approving OOH work.

1.6.4. Acoustic Advisor

Condition A25 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval requires an Acoustic Advisor (AA) to be appointed to the project. The AA is to act as the Secretary’s independent point of contact for all noise and vibration matters on the project. Refer to Conditions A25 and A27 for a comprehensive description of the AA’s responsibilities.

Sections 3.1.2.3 and 3.1.2.4 include descriptions of the AA’s responsibilities with respect to reviewing, identifying risk level, endorsing and deferring OOH work.

Unclassified





2. Standard Hours

Condition E36 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval defines standard construction hours as:

(a) 7:00am to 6:00pm Mondays to Fridays, inclusive;

(b) 8:00am to 1:00pm Saturdays; and

(c) at no time on Sundays or public holidays.

These hours are consistent with:

The EPA’s Interim Construction Noise Guideline (ICNG) 2009 ‘recommended standard hours’ for construction in NSW, and

The City & Southwest Construction Noise and Vibration Strategy (CNVS) ‘standard daytime construction hours’ (which were adopted by TfNSW as recommended by the ICNG).

Unless undertaken in accordance with Conditions E44, E46 or E48 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval, construction is only permitted to be undertaken during standard construction hours.

If OOH work is to be undertaken in accordance with one or more of these conditions at the Crows Nest, Victoria Cross, Barangaroo, Martin Place, Pitt Street or Central sites, the work must also comply with the specific requirements of Conditions E37 and E38 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval. It should be noted however that the intent of Conditions E37 and E38 is to support certain types of work at these sites between 7am and 8pm. This should be considered when identifying risk levels for OOH work applications (refer to Section 3.1.2.3).

Unclassified





3. OOH Work

Out of hours (OOH) work is defined as any work that is undertaken outside of standard construction hours.

Some OOH work is permitted to be undertaken on the City & Southwest project in accordance with Conditions E44, E46 and E48 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval. These works include:

Delivery of materials as required by an authority for safety reasons,

Emergency works,

Works that are subject to different construction hours as permitted (or required) under an EPL,

Low noise impact works,

Works that are subject to a negotiated agreement with the substantial majority of affected sensitive receivers,

Works undertaken in accordance with an Out of Hours Work Protocol approval and are the subject of a notification to the relevant council, local residents and other affected stakeholders and receivers at least five days prior to the works commencing and no more than 14 days prior to the works commencing.

Rock breaking and other particularly annoying activities at the Central Station Site or, provided that the noise management level can be achieved at sensitive receivers, at any other site,

24 hour construction works in accordance with Condition E48, comprising:

o Tunnelling and associated support activities (excluding cut and cover tunnelling),

o Excavation within an acoustic enclosure,

o Excavation at the Central Station Site without an acoustic enclosure,

o Station and tunnel fit out, and

o Haulage and delivery of spoil and materials,

In accordance with Condition E47 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval and with the exception of OOH work that is subject to an EPL, all OOH work requires endorsement by the AA and approval by either the ER, or in the case of ‘high risk’ works undertaken after 9pm, the Secretary. This includes all work subject to Conditions E37, E38 and E48 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval. The requirements of these conditions are to be specifically addressed in each OOH application (refer to Section 3.1.2) as relevant.

Unclassified





3.1. OOH Work Approval Process

Figure 1 provides the OOH work approval process for the Chatswood to Sydenham portion of the City & Southwest project. This includes a requirement to prepare an application that covers the assessment of noise and vibration impacts, mitigation measures (including community notification requirements), review and approval for all proposed OOH work.

All OOH work applications that are not subject to an EPL will be submitted to the TfNSW Place Manager, TfNSW Environment Manager, AA and ER for review and comment. These reviews will take into consideration a range of aspects, including reviewer experience and expert understanding, local knowledge of the area, current understanding of sensitive receiver requirements and other relevant documents (for example, the applicable Business Management Plan detailing predicted impacts to affected businesses, key issues and appropriate mitigation measures for implementation). This review process is further explained in section 3.1.2.3.

3.1.1. OOH Work subject to an EPL

For OOH work that is subject to an EPL, the EPL conditions will dictate the approval process. As a minimum however, for proposed OOH work that is not approved in the EPL and a variation is required, the contractor is expected to:

Prepare an application to the EPA in accordance with the CNVS and EPL requirements,

Submit the revised application to the EPA for approval and submit the application to the TfNSW Place Manager, TfNSW Environment Manager, AA and ER for information,

Notify TfNSW, the AA and ER upon receiving EPA approval, and

Ensure any required community notifications have been issued (by either TfNSW or the contractor directly) at least seven days prior to the works commencing.

3.1.2. OOH Work not subject to an EPL

For OOH work that is not subject to an EPL, the approval process is dictated by the requirements of Condition E47 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval.

Contractors are required to prepare an OOH application using:

A form consistent with the Sydney Metro City & Southwest OOH Work Application Form for proposed OOH work that is within the scope of a CNVIS, or

A form consistent with the Sydney Metro OOH Work Application Form for proposed OOH work that is not within the scope of a CNVIS (or is within the scope of a CNVIS that is yet to be prepared).

Both of these forms require a noise and vibration impact assessment to be undertaken and contain a consolidated and conservative version of Table 14 from the CNVS. This facilitates simpler consideration of applicable additional noise and vibration mitigation measures to implement. The forms also require demonstration of how additional noise and vibration mitigation measures have been considered for implementation (including community notifications) in accordance with the CNVS.

Unclassified





3.1.2.1. OOH Work within the Scope of a CNVIS

The majority of OOH applications subject to this protocol are anticipated to be undertaken within the scope of a CNVIS.

For proposed OOH work that is within the scope of a CNVIS, the OOH application will outline the associated noise and vibration impacts of the proposed OOH work, based on the outcomes of the CNVIS. The applicable sections of the CNVIS are required to be appended to the OOH application.

The associated noise and vibration impacts will guide the consideration of standard and additional mitigation measures to implement, in accordance with the CNVS.

3.1.2.2. OOH Work not within the scope of a CNVIS

In some circumstances, OOH work may be required that is not within the scope of a CNVIS. Examples of these situations include OOH works that:

Are not defined as ‘construction’ under the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval,

Are not confined to a ‘construction site’ (e.g. power supply works, in-tunnel works, etc.), and

Were not anticipated in a CNVIS at the time it was prepared.

For proposed OOH work that is not within the scope of a CNVIS (or is within the scope of a CNVIS that is yet to be prepared), the noise and vibration impacts of the proposed OOH work will generally have less certainty than those that are within the scope of a CNVIS. Therefore, greater due diligence is required in completing the OOH application form.

To ensure an adequate level of due diligence is applied to reviewing proposed OOH work that is not within the scope of a CNVIS, a form consistent with the generic Sydney Metro OOH Work Application Form is to be used. This form has been developed by TfNSW to ensure consistency with the Interim Construction Noise Guideline (DECC, 2009) and requires applicants to:

Provide justification for the works to be undertaken OOH,

Adequately assess the noise and vibration impacts at nearest sensitive receivers,

Consider standard and additional noise and vibration mitigation measures to implement in accordance with the CNVS, and

Request formal review, endorsement and approval for the proposed OOH work prior to their commencement.

Furthermore, the Sydney Metro OOH Work Application Form requires a preliminary quantitative noise assessment to be undertaken in accordance with the Interim Construction Noise Guideline (ICNG) as a minimum. For assessments indicating that noise exceedance levels are greater than 10 dBA for more than 10 occasions at the same sensitive receiver, the need to undertake a detailed quantitative noise assessment will be considered by TfNSW, the contractor, the AA and the ER collectively. The term ‘occasion’ is defined in the OOH Work Application Form.

3.1.2.3. Review, TfNSW Endorsement and Identification of Risk Level

Review

Once the contractor has prepared an OOH work application, the application is submitted to the TfNSW Place Manager, TfNSW Environment Manager, AA and ER for review. Following their reviews, TfNSW, the AA and the ER may provide comments on the application, which need to be adequately addressed by the contractor in a resubmitted application to the satisfaction of the comment provider(s).

Prior to the TfNSW Principal Manager (Stakeholder & Community Liaison) indicating their endorsement (or otherwise) on the application, reference will be made to the applicable Business Management Plan (BMP) in accordance with Condition E64 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval. The BMP will:

Identify business stakeholders that may be affected by the project works and the issues specific to each business,

Detail the strategies and activities to be used to facilitate open communication and engagement with businesses,

Explain mitigation measures for identified business-related impacts, and

Define roles and tools to enable TfNSW Place Managers to implement the BMP.

TfNSW Endorsement and Identification of Default Risk Level

Following endorsement from the TfNSW Principal Manager (Stakeholder & Community Liaison), the AA is required to identify a risk level for the proposed OOH work in accordance with Condition E47 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval. This risk level will be categorised as either ‘Low risk’ or ‘High risk’.

As a default risk level, the AA will identify OOH work as ‘high risk’ if all of the following three criteria apply:

The type and sensitivity of the affected noise sensitive receivers is categorised as either Moderate Impact receivers (e.g. standard residential / typical density) or High Impact receivers (e.g. elderly / high density / persistent complainers / residents experiencing construction noise fatigue), and

The predicted noise level of the OOH work has a likelihood for potential sleep disturbance (i.e. Rating Background Level + 15 dB or more), and

The type of and intensity of noise emitted from the OOH work is categorised as High Impact (e.g. prolonged high noise and/or vibration intensive activities).

These criteria are based on Section 6.4 General Assessment Procedure of the CNVS.

For non-residential receivers the AA may consider OOH work as ‘high risk’ if undertaken during trading hours and in close proximity to their place of business (for example, during Saturday afternoon trading hours). Since each non-residential receiver has different business needs, it is imperative that the AA discusses each OOH work application with the TfNSW Place Manager to better understand how the proposed OOH works would impact the business.

Unclassified





Modification of Default Risk Level

Using the default risk level as a ‘starting point’, the AA will consider all other relevant factors in order to identify a final risk level. These relevant factors include:

Those identified on Pages 24 and 25 in Section 6.4 of the CNVS (noting that the reference to ‘impact levels’ is independent of the ‘risk rating’ identified by the AA for the purposes of complying with Condition E47(c) of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval),

Those listed in Table 2, and

Any other factors the AA considers relevant in its professional opinion.

These factors may be cause for the AA to modify the default risk rating from either ‘high risk’ to ‘low risk’, or ‘low risk’ to ‘high risk’, as the AA deems appropriate in its professional opinion.

Table 2: Risk Level Considerations

Risk Level Considerations

Predicted Noise Exceedance

Degree of predicted noise level exceedance above the Rating Background Level or Noise Management Level as appropriate

Specific Scope of Work Works that are not subject to Conditions E37 and E38

5 dBA Penalty If 5 dBA penalty is required in accordance with Conditions E37, E38, E41 and E42

Certainty Rating background levels, noise management levels or predicted noise impacts are not well understood

Past Experience Nature of works are new, in a new location or have not been undertaken by the contractor on the project already

Negotiated Agreement with Sensitive Receivers

No negotiated agreement with sensitive receivers has been obtained in accordance with Condition E44(e)

Potential Sleep Disturbance

Likely to generate potential sleep disturbance (RBL + 15dB or greater)

Non-Residential Receivers Impacted non-residential receivers operate during same period of proposed OOH works

Special Events The timing and location of special events in the area of the proposed OOH works may be scheduled at the same time or immediately before or after the special event (e.g. festivals, public gatherings, etc.)

TfNSW Place Manager Feedback

Feedback from the Place Manager for the area will provide the AA an understanding of the types and requirements of surrounding sensitive receivers.

Sensitive Receivers

Moderate impact sensitive receivers (e.g. standard residential, medium density receivers) or high impact sensitive receivers (e.g. residential home for the elderly, high density unit blocks, persistent complainers, residents deemed to have ‘construction noise fatigue’)

High Impact Works Prolonged high noise or vibration intensive activities

Other Impacts Impacts other than noise and vibration impacts are likely to be generated (e.g. lighting, traffic, etc.)

Unclassified





Once the AA has identified a final risk level for the OOH work application, the AA indicates the risk level on the application (including any risk identification commentary), as well as whether the application includes works after 9pm, and signs and dates the application.

3.1.2.4. Endorsement and Approval

Figure 1 includes a process for the endorsement and approval of OOH work.

Following the identification of risk level by the AA, the AA endorses the OOH work application and provides any conditions or comments. If the AA identifies that the OOH work application is high risk and includes works after 9pm, the application is forwarded to the ER for endorsement only. Following the ER’s endorsement, the application is then formally submitted by TfNSW via email to the Secretary for approval in accordance with Condition E47 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval. For all other applications, the ER indicates their approval (or otherwise) on the application, including any conditions or comments, and forwards directly to TfNSW, the contractor and AA.

3.2. Community Notifications

Community notifications can be used as a mitigation measure for receivers of noise and vibration impacts from OOH work.

Community notifications usually comprise of letterbox-dropped or hand-distributed notification letters to identified stakeholders prior to the commencement of works. Communities are more likely to understand and accept the impacts from noise and vibration if they are provided with honest detailed information and commitments on mitigation measures to be implemented that are adhered to by the project prior to the works commencing.

Community notification requirements are included in the CNVS and outlined in the Community Communications Strategy for the City & Southwest project in accordance with Condition B1 of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval.

Community notification is an example of an additional mitigation measure that may be considered for implementation in accordance with the CNVS and the additional mitigation measure tables contained in the OOH Work Application Forms. In the event that community notification is required as a mitigation measure prior to OOH work commencing, community notification is to be undertaken at least seven days prior to the works commencing.

3.2.1. Negotiated Agreements with Sensitive Receivers

Occasionally, a negotiated agreement for particular OOH work will be formed with the potentially affected sensitive receivers in accordance with Condition E44(e) of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval. These negotiated agreements would be undertaken and documented by either the contractor or TfNSW as part of an OOH application.

The negotiated agreement needs to reach a minimum 65% acceptance rate of those sensitive receivers that are contactable. ‘Contactable’ is defined as having received correspondence (either verbal or written) from receivers within a two week timeframe. The CNVIS process and the TfNSW Place Manager will advise of potentially affected sensitive receivers to be contacted.

Upon ER approval of any OOH applications containing negotiated agreements, TfNSW will forward the negotiated agreement documentation to the Secretary for information at least one week prior to the OOH work commencing. In the event that community notification is required as a mitigation measure prior to the OOH work commencing, this would be undertaken at the same time (i.e. at least seven days prior to the works commencing).

3.3. Emergency Works

Occasionally there may be a need to undertake emergency works outside of standard work hours. In this situation, the works are permitted to proceed without prior approval, provided that the works were:

Unforeseen, and

Required to avoid the loss of life, damage to property or prevent environmental harm.

Figure 2 outlines the emergency work process.

Unclassified





On becoming aware of the need to undertake emergency works in accordance with Condition E44(b) of the Chatswood to Sydenham planning approval, contractors must notify TfNSW, the AA, the ER and the EPA (if it is required under an EPL if relevant) of the need to undertake the works. This notification should be in the form of a written email or text message to TfNSW, the AA and the ER. The requirements for notifying the EPA will be dictated in the conditions of the EPL if relevant.

As a form of mitigation, community notification is to be undertaken within two hours of the commencement of emergency works. These notifications will generally be prepared by the contractor using a small hand-completed Sydney Metro card template for distribution to the immediate surrounding community. These cards will include the following details as a minimum:

Scope,

Location,

Hours,

Duration,

Types of equipment to be used, and

Likely impacts.

The day after any emergency works, the applicant is to provide a written emergency works report to TfNSW. The emergency works report is to include as a minimum:

Date, time, duration and cause of the emergency,

Description of emergency works undertaken,

Mitigation measures implemented to address the impacts of the emergency works, and

Actions/Measures taken or to be taken to prevent or mitigate recurrence of the emergency. If there are no appropriate actions/measures to be taken, explanation is to be provided as to why.
