(1) All major project consents are available on:
http:⁄⁄majorprojects.planning.nsw.gov.au⁄.
Construction noise mitigation measures are set out in the approved
Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan. The Plan is consistent with
the Environment Protection Authority's lnterim Construction Noise Guideline and
include site designs that increase the distance of work from homes, use of
noise shields, equipment enclosures and noise barriers, less noisy plant and
respite periods during necessary high noise activities.
Operational measures will be detailed in the Operational Noise Management
Plan, which is required to be approved by the Department. These measures must
include the provision of feasible and reasonable at-property architectural
treatment to all affected sensitive receivers in multi-level dwellings where
project noise criteria are exceeded, unless otherwise agreed to by the owner of
the noise-affected residence. Noise criteria are based on the NSW Road Noise
Policy and the NSW Industrial Noise Policy.
(2) Mitigation measures will be installed before commencement of work,
though in some cases prior work will be required to allow safe installation to
take place.
Condition D19 also requires, where feasible and reasonable, operational
noise mitigation measures to be installed before the commencement of the
relevant construction works. In other cases, the Proponent must submit a report
for approval providing justification of this along with details of the
temporary measures that would be implemented to reduce construction noise
impacts until such time that the operational noise mitigation measures are
implemented.
