Statement of Commitments

ThisplanalsoconsiderstherequirementsintheStatementofCommitments(SoC)fromtheEnvironmental AssessmentReport(includingSubmissionsReportandrevisedStatementofCommitments)andtheStatement ofCommitmentsdatedMarch2011fromtheprojectmodification.Thecommitmentsrelevanttotraffic managementduringconstructionaresummarisedinTable22.

Table 2-2 Statement of Commitments

Ref no. Commitment Reference

Objective

Statement of Commitments Environmental Assessment Report 8.1 Access to the proposed ROC would primarily be via Kellogg Road. Access to the site will continue to be available from North Parade and Woodstock Avenue. Emergency access to the proposed ROC would be via Woodstock Avenue, North Parade and potentially the OneSteel site if access via Kellogg Road was restricted for any reason. A traffic management plan would be developed for the proposed RDC to ensure that there would be no loss of service to the surrounding road network and to address all traffic issues in the construction and operational phases of the project. The plan addresses: 8.3

Section 4.1 and 4.2 Section 4.2

8.2

Accident monitoring; Assessment of road pavement condition; Road traffic protocols (transport code of conduct for the RDC site); and Driver training on use of approved routes. Ensuring maximum safety for pedestrians and drivers; Ensuring separation of heavy and light vehicles; Require site design to incorporate one way traffic flow and minimise the number of intersections on site; Provision of adequate room for vehicles to manoeuvre on the site; Preventing traffic from entering restricted areas; Provision of adequate parking; Monitoring of all traffic movements on the site; Assessment of road conditions; Assessment of road signage; and Prohibition of truck queuing in Kellogg Road.

Section 4.11 and 4.12

Management strategies for traffic on the RDC site will include:

Traffic Management 8.4

Section 4.4, 4.10 and 6

8.5

To ensure traffic management on site would be of a high standard, the following measures will be implemented during construction and operation of the proposed RDC: Construction Phase: During the initial phase of construction when access is required to the southern section of the site via North Parade, install signage on the Knox Rd approaches to the intersection warning motorists of the possibility of construction traffic entering the roadway (eg. 'Construction traffic ahead', or 'Construction trucks entering');

Section 4.13

Commitment

Reference N/A: under the Project Modification North Parade is being closed and Holcim is purchasing the road.

Undertake a condition survey of North Parade prior to, and upon completion of, RDC construction works to ensure that it remains at the same level of amenity following its limited use for construction access. It is proposed that this would be undertaken in conjunction with Blacktown City Council officers;

Install signage along North Parade (primarily at the entry points), outlining the presence of heavy vehicles to other motorists in the Reserve; To maintain continued public access and for security/public safety reasons fence North Parade in the initial phase of the construction program; Monitor key intersections during the construction phase to ensure that the construction-related traffic does not create any unexpected safety or efficiency problems in the surrounding road network; Liaison with Blacktown City Council, the RTA and adjoining property holders; andEnsure strict compliance with the Traffic Management Plan

10.3

The EMP will address the following specific issues for both construction and operation of the proposed RDC: Traffic The EMP will include a comprehensive environmental monitoring program which will include monitoring of the following: Traffic Components of the monitoring programme shall include: Traffic - All traffic entering the site would be directed to the appropriate area for example delivery and raw materials trucks to the weighbridge, staff and visitors to the car park and concrete agitators to the Concrete Batching Plant. Any traffic incidents would be reported to the Site Manager.

All reasonable and practicable, noise controls (e.g. low-noise mufflers) will be installed and maintained on plant and equipment. All heavy vehicles entering and leaving the site that are carrying loads will be covered. Drivers will only use approved routes and comply with the speed limits and road rules both on site and within the local road network. Traffic to the site will obey curfew times and driver instructions. Vehicles will not park or que on local roads in the vicinity of the Project site (including Kellogg Road). Traffic entering the site will be directed to the appropriate area for example staff and visitors to the car park by appropriate signage or traffic control. Traffic incidents will be reported to the Holcim Project Manager. Traffic Control Plans (TCP) will be developed to manage traffic movements to and from the Project with the aim of avoiding queuing at local intersections (a queue consists of more than three vehicles waiting consecutively at an intersection). All TCPs used during the construction activity will be developed by the Contractor in accordance with Australian Standard 1742.3-2002 Manual of uniform traffic control devices Part 3 Traffic control devices for works on roads and the RTAs Guide to Traffic Control at Worksites Version 4, 2010. It should be noted that a TCP can only be prepared by a person who

TM12 All TCPs will be implemented by suitably qualified personnel in accordance with the RTAs Guide to Traffic Control at Worksites with particular attention paid to the spacing of traffic control devices. All relevant TCPs will note traffic is restricted from entering the fenced Angus Creek corridor zone. Daily pre-start and pre-closedown inspections of short term traffic control will be completed using the checklist in the RTAs Traffic Control at Worksites Manual. Weekly inspections of long term traffic control will be completed using the checklist in the RTAs Traffic Control at Worksites Manual, additional notes may also be included on the Environmental Site Inspection Checklist.
