How we're managing impacts

  • Use of non-tonal reversing alarms on all equipment and turning off equipment when not in use
  • Workers using the site compound will keep noise to a minimum and be respectful to neighbours
  • To reduce visual impacts, site fencing and shadecloth will be placed around the site compound. Materials will be stored in an organised way
  • Traffic controls will be in place, where required
  • Water carts will be on-site to wet down areas to assist in managing dust
  • Works programmed to best minimise noise impacts. We will aim to minimise noise from the works and monitor noisy activities
