Wirrinya yard site investigations, 16 October – 24 December 2024

Work being done

Construction will occur between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Friday.

Works will include:

• Geotechnical Investigations of existing track formation.

Works area

To safely complete this work, the following roads will be managed by traffic control and therefore will remain open under the guidance of stop & go system:

• Wirrinya Road
• Gap Road

Construction updates will be provided to our neighbours as these works progress.

Vehicle movements

During the works, vehicle movements will be to and from site as well as on site to facilitate modifications.

Traffic controllers will be available to direct traffic to and from site where needed.

What can I expect

• Heavy vehicle movements
• Some of these works will be noisy. You may hear truck engines and engine noise from machines such as the drill rig.

Machinery used

Equipment used for work includes but is not limited to light vehicles, heavy vehicles, elevated work platforms and hand tools.

How we're managing impacts

To minimise noise impacts to you during these works the following measures will be undertaken:

• Respite periods will apply to noisy works (e.g. noisy equipment such as saw cutting will be undertaken in block of no more than 3 hours with at least 1 hour of respite between each block of work)
• Adhering to the compliance conditions as defined in the Environment Protection Licence (EPL)
• Orientating equipment away from noise-sensitive receivers where possible
• No unnecessary shouting or loud stereos/radios on site
• Communication between workers and plant operators using UHF radios and hand signals
• Where practicable, substitution using alternative low noise plant and equipment
• When applicable, implement mitigation measures to address noise disturbances
• All vehicles to be switched off when not in use.
