4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document comprises a Construction Management Plan (CMP) for the project. The contents of the CMP will be revised on receipt of comments from Cairns Regional Council, Ports North, key stakeholders and the local community following public advertisement of the DA which will include the CMP document. Further the Managing Contractor (MC) will, upon appointment, take responsibility for updating this report in line with the specific construction strategies proposed. It is anticipated that lodgement of the final CMP will be a prerequisite of commencement on site. The CMP outlines management measures which will be implemented across the three stages of the project, being the design, construction and maintenance. Specifically, the CMP identifies measures that will ensure that the interests of the surrounding owner, the public and the construction staff are taken into consideration in relation to Occupational Health and Safety and the Environment and the ongoing functionality of the Port. It is intended that this document will continually evolve and that it will form the basis for the preparation of any CMP which will guide the design, construction and maintenance activities at various stages of the project with specific Management Plans in place and developed prior to the commencement of any construction works. Specific management measures have been identified for the following issues: Environmental Matters; Visual Amenity; Land and Water Impacts; Noise Impacts ; Traffic Impacts; Air Quality; Waste Generation; Hazardous Materials; Cultural Heritage; Health and Safety.

5 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT This report provides an outline of management actions associated with key issues identified relating to the construction of the Cairns Entertainment Precinct project (CEP). The purpose of the CMP is to ensure that appropriate actions are undertaken to mitigate the hazards and risks associated with the construction and environmental issues that may occur throughout the construction process and on going operation of the complex. This section of the report is intended for use by the Managing Contractor (MC) responsible for construction, and is to form the basis for the preparation of subsequent CMP s. Cairns Regional Council project manager or delegated authority, will oversee the implementation of the CMP by the MC. OBJECTIVES OF THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PLAN The following Construction Management Plan (CMP) details the measures to be adopted that will address identified impacts of the Project. The CMP provides: a practical framework for establishing best practice environmental management standards and guidelines to mitigate potential environmental harm for each activity undertaken; a mechanism to assist managers, supervisors and construction crews to comply with current legislation; a means of identifying environmental issues and to provide general procedures which must be considered when undertaking activities; a mechanism to reduce the potential impacts of construction and maintenance activities on the adjoining properties; a mechanism to ensure that the Overriding Objectives of PN are being adhered to, and ; a preliminary basis for establishing environmental due diligence during the construction and maintenance phases. In essence the CMP is to provide the client and the MC with a practical guide to ensure compliance by all parties with OHS & E requirements. The CMP achieves this by providing a framework for comprehensive monitoring and control where the aim is to minimise the potential for negative OHS&E impact and were performance monitoring indicates where requirements have not been met and the CMP identifies corrective actions to be undertaken.

6 Background Summary Savills Project Management has been engaged by Cairns Regional Council to manage the design development process through to the Preliminary Development Application and Stage 1 Development Application relating to CEP. The project management role includes the preparation of a preliminary Construction Management Plan (CMP) to address Ports North (PN) and Cairns Regional Council (CRC) concerns. The Preliminary DA will reference the 4 buildings proposed for the site and seeks approval for their uses and building envelopes. Specific building and design issue will be dealt within the subsequent DA s and modifications to the CMP. The Permit 1 DA will reference the construction of the Performing Arts Centre 1 (PAC1) with a separate DA, Permit 2 to be lodged for the redevelopment of White s Shed. (WS). DA s for Permit 3 Museum, and Permit 4 Performing Arts Centre 2, (PAC2) will be lodged at some stage in the future and are not immediately covered within this CMP, although it would be the intention that this CMP document would form the framework for future CMP s. The preparation of a CMP would normally be undertaken as part of the Construction Certificate process, thus allowing input from the tender process and the nominated Managing Contractor (MC). It is noted that this CMP is preliminary and based on previous experience working on similar developments and should an alternative methodology be proposed by a (MC), the guiding principles of this CMP will be taken forwarded in the final plan. Consultation with neighbouring properties as to proposed construction methods and likely impacts of construction on them will not be carried out until such time as PN has considered and responded to the CMP. The CMP seeks to provide a general methodology only, and modification may be required once MC input, neighbour comments, CRC and PN consultation and commercial constraints are applied. The final CMP will comply with PN and CRC policies and conditions relating to construction (noise, hoardings, traffic and environmental management etc) including the preparation of an environmental plan that considers dust, noise, stormwater and other environmental matters.

11 1 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Environmental Training All personnel directly involved in environmental management will be appropriately qualified and experienced to undertake their relevant tasks. All employees will receive an environmental induction prior to commencement of work on this project. The induction training, as approved by CRC and PN or the Construction Manager for the project, and will cover the following topics. ISO Environmental Management System The Environmental Management Plan The environmental duty of care. The MC will be responsible for delivering the induction and on-going training during the construction process. CRC maintenance staff will be responsible for staff training during the operating and maintenance stage. and Auditing and auditing will be undertaken to determine the consequence of construction, operation and maintenance of the associated buildings has impacted on the environment. Inspection staff shall refer to the Environmental Management Measures contained with the CMP and the associated strategies specifying detailed information on monitoring and frequency requirements during the construction and operating/maintenance stages of the project. Audits will be undertaken to check compliance with the Environmental Management Plan. CRC or delegated authority will be responsible for undertaking environmental audits. CRC or delegated authority will maintain audit records and be responsible for scheduling follow-up inspection to ensure that correction actions are being implemented for any non-compliance detected. The auditor will be responsible for determining the severity of non-compliance and may instruct works to cease until the non-compliance has been rectified. Environmental Management Measures The relevant sections of CRC Environmental Management System must be complied with to ensure that CRC or delegated authority demonstrates responsible environmental performance and complies with its general environmental duty as defined in the Environmental Protection Act Construction Management Plan Page 11 of 38

12 The general environmental duty requires CRC, its staff, duly authorised consultants and the MC to take all reasonable and practicable measures to not cause environmental harm on the construction site. A site register shall be kept to record complaints and actions taken. The register may be a separate document or part of another register. The MC shall be responsible for the register. To ensure those with a management or supervisory roles on this project are aware of their environmental responsibilities, they are required to undertake training in the following areas : Environmental Awareness; Oil/Petrol Spill Awareness; Stormwater/Dewatering Management; Dust/Noise Management and ; Building Waste Management and Control. Any accident or incident that does or has the potential to result in environmental remediation works of $2,500 or more (a basic definition of what constitutes environmental harm) must be reported to the CRC or it s delegated authority as a matter of urgency but no greater than 24hrs after the incident. Any environmental infringement notice issued for the works by the local Council or the Environmental Protection Agency must be reported to the CRC or its delegated authority as a matter of urgency but no greater than 24hrs after the incident. Construction Management Plan Page 12 of 38

13 2 VISUAL AMENITY The proposed building alignment traverses a mainly urban landscape throughout the precinct. The eastern side of the site is characterised by typical wharf functions, the northern end of the site contains some public space and carparking associated with the passenger terminal, while at the southern end of the site comprises a more industrial facilities. The Cairns Entertainment building is across the road to the west of the site. Although the area has been designated as an entertainment precinct these land uses, together with surrounding water forms and topography and other features of the built environment, will affect the visual aspects of the proposed buildings. The potential impacts to visual amenity have generally been minimised through architectural treatments with the location of the infrastructure within or in proximity to existing like elements and where possible the scale, shape, form and function have been adapted to better suit the external environment so that the outdoor spaces have a relationship with local vistas and forms. Visual Amenity Performance Objective The visual impact of the proposal, particularly on adjoining sensitive land uses, is minimised before, during and after works. Design The design of PAC1 should embrace the tropical theme and yet be sympathetic to it. Should utilise the following elements, where appropriate: the use of appropriate structure; where it is proposed to paint the structures, the use of indigenous themes colours is proposed;. Incorporate indigenous themes. Revegetation is to be undertaken for specific sensitive locations along the site, particularly where there are the potential adverse visual amenity impacts on adjoining properties. Revegetation will include: the use of indigenous vegetations; the retention of existing vegetation where possible; screen planting is to be carried out where possible screen planting along the road frontages of the site; appropriate indigenous species selection. Design measures incorporated in design phase should maximise indigenous input. CRC or it s delegated authority are to ensure that vegetation clearing is necessary and where it is identified that revegetation is required, this is to be incorporated into the project; Consultation with local indigenous representatives. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for design of the project infrastructure. Revegetation plans are to be prepared for the project in consultation with landscape consultants. Local indigenous representatives are to be part of a community reference group. Construction Management Plan Page 13 of 38

14 Construction Management Plan Page 14 of 38

15 Visual Amenity Construction Clearing of vegetation is restricted to that necessary. Where a revegetation plan has been prepared for a specific area, vegetation clearing will be undertaken in accordance with these plans. Ensure any lighting required for night time construction activities does not impact on the amenity of adjoining properties. PN are to be consulted. Vegetation clearing minimised. Positive feedback from local indigenous groups. The MC is to maintain a log of any recorded event such as complaints. Regular site inspections will be undertaken by CRC or it s delegated authority during construction to ensure the visual impact of the proposal is not unacceptable. During construction, CRC or it s delegated authority will maintain a complaints register to manage complaints received from surrounding residents during the construction of the project. Consultation with local indigenous representatives. The MC is responsible for the implementation of any action plans. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for the recording of and response to any complaints or issues. Where a complaint is received from an adjoining land owner during construction, details of the complaint will be recorded, and further corrective action will be investigated by CRC or it s delegated authority. Adjoining property owners to be consulted and an agreed strategy put in place to manage visual amenity. Maintenance Minimise the ongoing disturbance to vegetation within the site by only clearing or trimming vegetation which is required to be maintain safe operation of the sub-transmission lines and substations. Review the implementation of landscaping and revegetation activities carried out as part of the project. Minimal vegetation clearing required. Absence of complaints from land owners. Inspections of landscaping and revegetation works will be carried out by CRC or it s delegated authority during the first year following establishment. Annual monitoring is to be carried out as required. Consultation with local indigenous representatives. Construction Management Plan Page 15 of 38

16 Visual Amenity The MC is responsible for the implementation of any action plans. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for recording and actioning any complaints. of the success of landscaping and revegetation is to be carried out after each inspection. Landscaping and revegetation is to be replaced should damage occur. Construction Management Plan Page 16 of 38

17 3 LAND AND WATER IMPACTS The proposed project area is characterised by the waterway called Trinity Inlet which runs adjacent to the site and parallel to Access Rd. Trinity Inlet is the main waterway for the Cairns area with passenger and cargo ship utilising the adjacent docks. The site is low lying and is subject to stormwater and tidal surges, with these waters running across the site and back into the Inlet. There is an existing over land stormwater pathway running across the site and it is proposed that this be diverted into a new underground stormwater pipe which will utilise CRC existing infrastructure. Full details and construction methodologies are encompassed within the associated Civil, Cardno, and Hydraulic, SPP consultancy reports, whilst ensuring compliance with PN Overriding Objectives. Contamination from the existing land may exist which may give rise to environmental or health effects and should these areas be disturbed during construction the following step will need to undertaken to ensure no environmental damage is caused. Acid Sulphate Soils (ASS) occur naturally over extensive low-lying coastal areas, predominately below 5 m Australian Height Datum (AHD) and available mapping indicates that the majority of the project site has been mapped as either ASS or land that is assessable under SPP2/02. The strategies outlined below should be implemented across all stages of the project to ensure the release of ASS is avoided. Although it is anticipated that Acid Sulphate Soils may exist within the existing mangrove mud, it is understood that this layer lies approximately 4m below ground level. The proposed depth of excavation across the site is approximately only 2m and hence the potential of uncovering ASS is greatly reduced. Land and Water Impacts Performance Objectives No deterioration in water quality in identified creeks or drainage lines in proximity to the development. Contaminated sites identified and managed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act Testing, identification, and mitigation of Acid Sulphate Soils in accordance with relevant management techniques. An adequate groundcover compatible to the vegetation in the area is maintained for the development to minimise any soil erosion or land degradation. Avoid disruption to PN operations. Construction Management Plan Page 17 of 38

18 Land and Water Impacts Design Undertake a geotechnical investigation for the project to determine the soil characteristics, potential issues and required mitigation areas and recommendations, which will include reference to ASS or PASS. Undertake a detailed site survey to identify contaminated sites as noted on the EMR and CLR registers which may be impacted during the construction of the project. Through field visit, identify potential physical evidence of contaminated land. Identify management techniques required throughout construction, maintenance and operation. Notify EPA of any sites identified and remediate where required. Identify all watercourses intended to be crossed by a temporary or permanent access track. Prepare appropriate designs, strategies and site work plans for the crossing of all waterways identified above to ensure appropriate location and design of proposal. Prepare an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan if necessary. Testing for and treatment of ASS is undertaken prior to construction works in accordance with the guidelines under Queensland Acid Sulphate Soil Technical Manual Soil Management Guidelines. Filling in areas below and fringing the major flood line will not detrimentally impact existing environmental/ecological values and water quality. Environmental Management Plans, studies and assessment processes completed. Not applicable within the design phase of the project. CRC or it s delegated authority and the MC are responsible for preparation of required studies. Documentation of approved Erosion and Sediment Control Program. Completion of Site Work Plans. Existing Water Quality samples (as appropriate). Soil report. Revegetation and reinstatement where possible. Adjoining landowners to be consulted and agreed strategy adopted for the mitigation of any identified issues raised regarding potential acid sulphate soils, contaminated land, water quality and soil erosion and land degradation. Construction Management Plan Page 18 of 38

19 Land and Water Impacts Construction Site Work Plans to be completed and implemented before construction commences. These plans are too clearly outline erosion controls plans and area identified as susceptible to erosion and high soil disturbance. Implement Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, were necessary. Where construction activities surround identified waterways or have the potential to impact on the water quality, water quality samples should be taken before, during and after construction. The analysis of this sampling will determine the impact on water quality of the nearby watercourses. All vehicles entering a construction sector are to be cleaned prior to entry to minimise the risk of introducing invasive aquatic or riparian species. Vegetation clearing should ensure mitigation against the exposure of bare soil in accordance with the erosion and sediment control plan. Visual inspection of surrounding waterways to be undertaken throughout the duration of the works to detect any changes to the water quality (e.g. presence of oil, grease, turbidity, floating scum and litter) in the waterway. A truck wheel wash facility/process should be installed to prevent excavated and other materials being tracked onto adjacent streets and other paved areas. All existing drains and stormwater inlets on site and surrounding the site will be: kept clear of rubble to remain operational during the works. protected with a combination of geofabric material, hay bales and filter sausages to prevent the infiltration of sediments and slurry. perimeter fencing where affected by potential overland flows will be protected by geofabric and hay bales. a sediment control plan will be prepared and submitted with the construction certificate. PN are to be consulted. Absence of run off of sediments to water courses. Absence of soil erosion impacts. Absence of flooding impacts on adjoining properties. Absence of complaints from land owners. Absence of ASS contamination. of soil and water matters to be undertaken by CRC or it s delegated authority during the construction phase of the project, including recording of any complaint received. Soils and water should be monitored for effectiveness in accordance with Site Work Plans, the MC is responsible for implementation of work plans. Regular inspections and testing will be carried out to ensure that the drain inlets are not blocked and free flow of stormwater is enabled. The sediment fencing will be inspected to ensure its effectiveness and serviceability. After heavy rainfall or storms checks of stormwater inlets and fencing shall be undertaken to monitor and clear any sedimentation build-ups. Construction Management Plan Page 19 of 38

20 Land and Water Impacts The MC is responsible for implementation of Management Plans. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for recording and actioning complaints and events, including issuance of reports to the applicable regulatory authorities. Any discrepancy in testing or failure of a control measure is to be recorded and appropriate corrective actions undertaken, including reports lodged with the appropriate regulatory agency by CRC or it s delegated authority. Review erosion and sediment control measures. Identify the control failure action and rectify through appropriate measures. Install mitigation devices to area which were not identified as prone to soil erosion or degradation. Update of site work plans to reflect additional measures if applicable. Maintenance Maintain erosion control measures and techniques for the site until stabilised. Absence of erosion impacts. Absence of complaints from land owners. Perform routine maintenance inspections to identify the stability of soils, particularly around construction sectors and identify areas that are prone to erosion or disturbance. All control measures are to be monitored for their effectiveness for at least 12 months and additional measures activated where required. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for recording and reporting any complaints or events. Document areas that have required additional management techniques for soil erosion, degradation or contamination and record. Employ additional techniques to areas identified as prone to soils erosion or degradation and monitor progress. Construction Management Plan Page 20 of 38

21 4 NOISE IMPACTS The proposed building alignment traverses a mainly urban landscape throughout the precinct. The eastern side of the site is characterised by passenger and cargo wharf functions, the northern end of the site contains some public space and carparking associated with the passenger terminal, while the southern end of the site comprises a more industrial facilities, while across the road lies the Cairns Entertainment building. These land uses, together with surrounding topography and other features of the built environment, will affect the Noise Aspects of the proposed buildings. It is to be noted that this CMP deals with management of noise created throughout the construction process and it ongoing management. Noise generated by PN is addressed through the architecture and design of the venues and full details and construction methodologies are encompassed within the associated Acoustic, Acoustic Logic, consultancy report, whilst ensuring compliance with PN Overriding Objectives. Noise Impacts Performance Objectives Noise generation during construction and operation is minimised. Avoid disruption to PN operations. Design The design methodology should utilise best practice technology to minimise noise from the site. Pre construction noise monitoring should be undertaken. Design incorporates appropriate noise rated equipment and plant. Not applicable at this phase. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for the design of the planned infrastructure Not applicable at this phase. Not applicable at this phase. Construction Construction works are to be limited to the standard construction hours (unless otherwise agreed with CRC and PN) Nearby residents are to be notified of construction activities, their expected duration and contact details should issues arise. Work outside the standard hours outlined above may occur where the noise resulting from works will not cause nuisance to surrounding residents. Construction vehicle movements should avoid the use of residential streets to access the site where possible, particularly outside standard hours. PN are to be consulted. Construction Management Plan Page 21 of 38

22 Noise Impacts Absence of noise complaints during construction activities. Noise monitoring of construction activities is to be undertaken as required. All complaints received are to be recorded and actions put in place to reduce the noise where considered necessary. and auditing of noise is to be undertaken in accordance with AS 2436 Guide to Noise Control on Construction, Maintenance and Demolition Sites. On receipt of a complaint regarding noise, CRC or it s delegated authority will undertake a noise assessment at the source of the complaint. The MC is responsible for implementation of Management Plans. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for recording and responding to all complaints received All noise complaints are to be recorded on a register. Where a noise complaint has resulted from excessive or unacceptable noise, a report will be prepared by CRC or delegated authority outlining the complaint, corrective action and monitoring that has been undertaken and provided to the applicable regulatory agency. Review Noise Management Plan. Replace plant or equipment that generates noise issues, including use of noise suppression equipment. Maintenance and Operation All vehicles and equipment used for maintenance should be maintained to comply with the Australian Design Rules for noise. Absence of noise complaints during operation. All complaints received are to be recorded and actions put in place to reduce the noise where considered necessary. On receipt of a complaint regarding noise, CRC or delegated authority will undertake a noise assessment at the source of the complaint. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for recording and responding to any noise complaints. All noise complaints are to be recorded on a register. Where a noise complaint has resulted from excessive or unacceptable noise, a report will be prepared by CRC or it s delegated authority, outlining the complaint, corrective action and monitoring that has been undertaken, and provided to the applicable regulatory authority where required. Maintenance activities are undertaken to ensure no further complaints are received. Operations of the project are to be reviewed to determine any applicable noise attenuation measures which may be appropriate. Construction Management Plan Page 22 of 38

23 5 TRAFFIC IMPACTS The site will be accessed via local roads using existing public road access provisions. During construction there will be an increase in the traffic accessing the site, which will comprise trucks transporting material to the site and construction staff accessing areas along the site, however this will be managed so that there will be no impact on PN operation. It is envisaged that vehicular traffic accessing the site will do so via a left hand turn off Wharf Rd, once the loading dock is constructed certain deliveries will be made via the Southern Access Rd, via Wharf Rd. Once the basement is constructed it is envisaged that this will be utilised for staff parking. Full details and construction methodologies are encompassed within the associated Traffic, ARUP Traffic, consultancy report, whilst ensuring compliance with PN Overriding Objectives. Traffic Impacts Performance Objectives Ensure the safety of the public and workers. Minimise disruptions to the local road network. Minimise amenity impacts on surrounding residents from traffic. Ensure a safe flow of traffic to and from the site is maintained. Avoid disruption to PN operations. Design All required road closure points for construction are identified, and appropriate permits from regulatory authorities secured. A Traffic Management Plan is developed to ensure minimisation of potential traffic impacts during construction. Permits are secured prior to construction. Traffic Management Plan is completed. Not applicable. The MC is responsible for preparation of management plans and securing permits required. Not applicable. Not applicable. Construction Management Plan Page 23 of 38

24 Traffic Impacts Construction Main Roads and PN are to be consulted prior to access to the site to advise of anticipated traffic movements and recommendations from the departments. Temporary road signage is to be erected and comply with Council, Main Roads and PN requirements. Storage of equipment and vehicles is to be located in a concealed area with no impact on adjoining residents or private property. Particular care will be required from the successful MC in developing a Traffic Management Plan that does not cause blockages to the local streets and this will be submitted for review as part of the Construction Certificate documentation. The following are general access / egress principles to be adopted during excavation works It is likely that both the primary access point will be off Wharf Rd for access and egress for excavation works The Southern Access Rd via Wharf Rd may be used periodically for some excavation traffic. Construction zones will most likely not be required for this phase of the works as long as entries are maintained and relevant carparking restrictions apply. Existing vehicular crossovers will be utilised wherever possible. Sliding gates will be installed at access/egress points and will only be opened whilst vehicles are accessing or exiting site A combination of 8 wheeled, truck and trailer and semi tipper trucks will access the site to remove excavation materials. All exiting trucks will be loaded to their prescribed weight limits, within the site boundary and be covered by tarpaulin or like prior to exiting the site. A ticketed flagman/security guard will direct entering and exiting vehicles whilst ensuring no pedestrians or vehicles enter the zone of heavy vehicle movement. The excavation site will not interfere with any pedestrian movement other than access/egress points where traffic control officers will monitor and manage pedestrian movements. Where possible machines required for the excavation process will be loaded and unloaded on site. The majority of the excavation process including loading of trucks should be undertaken within site boundaries. There may be a requirement to load the final portion of excavated materials by crane to trucks located in construction zones on the boundary streets. Construction Management Plan Page 24 of 38

25 Traffic Impacts The following are general access / egress principles to be adopted during construction works It is propose that Wharf Rd will be used for access and egress for construction works A construction zone is likely to be requested on Wharf Rd for available construction hours Generally concrete pumps would access the site from Wharf Rd and the Southern Access Rd. It is anticipated that a crane will be positioned on site. Sliding gates would be installed at access/egress points and be opened whilst vehicles are accessing or exiting site. A combination of utilities, tray table and semi trailer trucks will access the site to facilitate construction process. A ticketed flagman/security guard/ dogman will direct entering and exiting vehicles whilst ensuring no pedestrians or vehicles enter the zone of heavy vehicle movement. The construction site will not interfere with any pedestrian movement other than access/egress points where traffic control officers will monitor and manage pedestrian movements. Absence of traffic complaints and delays to transport networks from construction activities. All complaints and responses are to be monitored and logged. Any safety and traffic issues are to be recorded and reasons given. The Contractor is responsible for the implementation of management plans. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for recording and responding to any complaints received. Any traffic complaints are to be recorded and responded to by CRC or it s delegated authority. Any non-conformances regarding licence conditions or development approval will be advised to the local Council or other regulatory authority by CRC. Any complaint requiring corrective action should be undertaken within 24hrs. Any traffic and safety conditions which have not been met should instigate a review of the mitigation measures employed and corrective action employed. Maintenance and Operation Existing maintenance access routes are utilised. All vehicles must be authorised to enter the site for maintenance. Absence of traffic complaints during operation. All complaints are recorded and responded to. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for recording and responding to any complaints received. Construction Management Plan Page 25 of 38

Any complaint received requiring corrective action should be rectified within 24 hrs, and a report provided to the applicable regulatory authority. Construction Management Plan Page 26 of 38

27 6 AIR QUALITY The Project itself does not pose any long term threat to air quality. Seasonal ambient air quality conditions are likely to vary depending on weather and the types of activities being undertaken in the vicinity of the site thus initially there may be an elevated level of dust, particularly during the dry season associated with vehicle traffic and heavy construction. Full details and construction methodologies are encompassed within the associated Maritime, Cardno, consultancy report, whilst ensuring compliance with PN Overriding Objectives. Air Quality Performance Objectives Emissions produced by construction and operation, and detrimental impacts on surrounding environments are minimised. Avoid disruption to PN operations. Design Notify all adjoining land owners of proposed construction and maintenance activities. Prepare an Air Quality Management Plan. Management plans are completed. Land owners are notified of planned construction activities. Not applicable during the design phase. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for the preparation of management plans. Not applicable during the design phase. Not applicable during the design phase. Construction Implement dust suppression measures including regular on-site water spraying to ensure dust is suppressed to safe working environment levels in accordance with the Workplace Health and Safety Act Any vegetation clearing activities should be staged and minimise exposure to bare soils. Groundcover should be maintained wherever possible particularly surrounding access tracks. A complaints register should be activated and maintained throughout the construction process. PN are to be consulted. Absence of complaints from nearby residences. Absence of impact from emissions such as dust and fumes. Construction Management Plan Page 27 of 38

28 Air Quality The MC is to record any noted instance of air emissions. CRC or it s delegated authority are to maintain an ongoing record of all complaints.

29 7 WASTE GENERATION Waste products, including excess spoil, waste concrete, timber forms or off cuts, brickwork, glass, electrical cabling, excess fasteners, gyprock off cuts, paint, carpet off cuts, packing etc which will be generated from the construction of the buildings, or in addition any waste generated as a result of regular maintenance activities are to be minimised and recycled where possible. The project is targeting a 5 star GBCA rating (using the Public Building rating tool) and as such the MC will have to comply with the waste provisions associated with the GBCA rating tool. Full details and construction methodologies are encompassed within the associated ESD, Cundall consultancy report, whilst ensuring compliance with PN Overriding Objectives. Waste Generation Performance Objectives To minimise potential impacts due to generation of waste materials during construction and maintenance operation. Achieve 5 star Greenstar GBCA rating using the Public Building rating tool. Avoid disruption to PN operations. Construction A waste management strategy in accordance with the following hierarchy is to be employed for all construction activities for the transmission line and substation: Avoid waste through construction design; Reduce waste through design and construction methods; Reuse waste by actively seeking alternatives for use; Recycle waste through investigating opportunities and operations that do so. All hazardous waste materials should be contained and removed from the site. The materials are to be disposed of using best practice methods which comply with appropriate regulatory requirements. All servicing of equipment is to be carried out off site in an approved area. Excess vegetative material is to be reused or spread where appropriate or in consultation with landowners.

33 9 CULTURAL HERITAGE As part of the site falls within the Queensland Heritage Register (QHR) boundary a Heritage investigations is currently being undertaken for the project via Heritage Impact Assessment, which will form the basis for the management of Heritage matters for the project. In the interim, initial management measures have been prepared for the proposal, which will be refined, once the nature of cultural heritage issues are fully known. White s Shed is a structure nominated on the QHR and as such is being dealt with via a separately Heritage report being prepared for DERM. Full details and construction methodologies are encompassed within the associated Heritage r, Converge, consultancy report, whilst ensuring compliance with PN Overriding Objectives. Cultural Heritage Performance Outcome The impact of the project during construction and maintenance activities is minimised and guided by the preparation of appropriate Cultural Heritage Assessment processes including consultation with the relevant Traditional Owners. Avoid disruption to PN operations. Design Identify items of cultural heritage within the site area. Undertake consultation with relevant Traditional Owners or tribes including the preparation of an appropriate Cultural Heritage Management document. Cultural Heritage Assessment complete and appropriate management measures in place. Not applicable at this stage. CRC or it s delegated authority are to complete Cultural Heritage Assessment and management processes. Design Site Work Plan to incorporate Cultural Heritage Management requirements. No applicable to this stage of the development. Construction Cultural Heritage Induction Program for all construction workers. All guidelines and recommendations are to be adhered to throughout the construction process. All employees are made aware of identified cultural heritage sites and actions required. Any artefacts of cultural significance identified during the construction phase should be recorded and refer to the requirements of the agreed Cultural Heritage documentation. Any uncovered artefacts should be notified to the Heritage consultant. PN are to be consulted. Construction Management Plan Page 33 of 38

34 Cultural Heritage No reports or complaints are lodged from traditional owners during works for the project. No destruction of cultural heritage sites or artefacts. is to be undertaken in accordance with the agreed Cultural Heritage procedures in relevant documentation. by a suitably qualified Archaeologist is to be undertaken if cultural heritage artefacts are uncovered. Site manager to ensure that duty of care guidelines under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 have been adhered to. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for recording and responding to all complaints. A detailed report of any artefacts uncovered during construction is to be provided to the Heritage consultant. Excavation activities should cease if any uncovering or discovery of aboriginal artefacts occurs. Construction Management Plan Page 34 of 38

35 10 HEALTH AND SAFETY Accidents and incidents may occur during construction and operation. The nature of incidents is sufficiently predictable that prior preparation in the form of a Safety Plan and an Emergency Response Plan is warranted. Site inductions for all personnel should include both safety and environmental aspects of all activities being undertaken on site. Potential impacts to the general public should be addressed in a proactive manner. It is noted the management measures outlined below are applicable to the design and maintenance phases of the project. Health and Safety Performance Objectives Access to work sites and operational infrastructure is restricted, and infrastructure is designed to ensure prudent avoidance of perceived impacts. Avoid disruption to PN operations. Design A Safety Plan under the Workplace Health and Safety Act will be prepared by the MC. All risks and hazards are identified with the design phase. An Emergency Response Contingency Plan is to be developed in conjunction with the local Emergency Services. Contact details for the following are to be displayed: Cairns Fire and Rescue Service Cairns Ambulance Service Cairns Police Ports North Emergency Office CRC Emergency Office All staff to undertake a required level of safety training before the induction. Methods for working at depth, height and in confined spaces need to be taken into consideration. Management plans completed Record all staff who attend training programs. The MC is responsible for preparing appropriate management plans and implementing appropriate training. A Safety Plan is to be completed. Emergency Contingency Plan in conjunction with the local Cairns Emergency Services is to be completed. Inconsistencies of health and safety requirements in accordance with relevant standards are to be dealt with and plans updated. Construction Management Plan Page 35 of 38

36 Health and Safety Construction All staff are to be made aware of potential hazards and risks during induction. All staff to require training certificates on-site. Appropriate signage and barriers are to be erected to prevent unauthorised access An A Class hoarding including access gates is likely to be provided along all boundaries during the excavation process. The public and property protection will change and evolve with each stage of construction requiring differing levels of protection and combinations to provide public protection, provision for overhead lifting and the provision of site accommodation. Where possible machines required for the excavation process will be loaded and unloaded on site. It is likely that the MC will require a tower crane to be erected onsite, with possible locations in the atrium, in one of the lift cores or outside of the tower perimeter (within podium footprint) The tower crane will service the unloading of construction materials including concrete, reinforcement steel, cabling, electrical and mechanical plant, ductwork, façade panels, roof structures, fit out materials and other general materials Materials will need to be unloaded from vehicles located in construction zones in one of the boundary streets It is likely that a concrete pump will be located within the building structure to pump concrete to constructed core and slabs. PN are to be consulted. No injuries are reported for the workforce or public. No unauthorised access to sites. Absence of complaints from the public. All monitoring of health and safety issues of the site are to be recorded by the Construction manager. The MC is responsible for implementing management plans. CRC or it s delegated authority are responsible for recording and responding to all complaints. All incidents are to be recorded in a report by the CM and provided to the principle. Inconsistencies of health and safety requirements in accordance with relevant standards are to be dealt with and plans updated.

38 11 SERVICES DIVERSION The proposed development requires that a number of existing PN and public and council utility services that are running adjacent to the Access Rd and across the site be redirected. The associated services diversions will be managed by the CM and as such they are not fully detailed within this CMP. The engineers have however identified what services need to be re directed and have made provision for this within their documentation. Each services diversion will require it s own Management Plan and these are to follow the format of the plans listed above. Full details and construction methodologies are to be provided by the MC and these are to be presented to PN for review and approval before works can commence while at all time ensuring full compliance with PN Overriding Objectives. The following civil construction management issues are applicable and will need further resolution once the MC is appointed; The existing live services that are proposed to be relocated will need to remain in operation until the new services are constructed, tested and connected. The Port Road construction will require appropriate management to ensure road access is maintained for Port traffic during construction. This will be particularly challenging for the raised section of road at the intersection with the Southern Access Road. One option for consideration is to utilise the Wharf as an access corridor connecting back to the Port Road via the existing ramps just south of White s Shed. The construction management of these works will need to be approved by Ports North. The construction of the 2 x 1650mm dia. stormwater pipes, pits and outlet will require excavating below the water table and below the tide level. This will require implementation of safe work methods by the MC. It is recommended that these works are constructed during the Dry Season when the water table is relatively low and when there is lower chance of storm inundation of the site. Construction of the 2 x 1650mm dia. stormwater outlet will require the partial or total reconstruction of the northern most wharf ramp adjacent to the CEP site. As this ramp is an important access to the wharf and separated from the wharf ramp immediately to the south by a security fence on the wharf, the construction management of this work will require consultation with PN to ensure satisfactory temporary operation. One option if possible is to construct the outlet and rebuild the ramp outside of cruise ship days. Construction of the 2 x 1650mm dia. stormwater outlet through the seawall piers which are not currently surveyed and do not line up with the exposed Wharf piers. Programming of certain service relocations to allow other early works to be undertaken. For example, the existing communication services adjacent to White s Shed will need to be relocated prior to the trench excavation of the 2 x 1650mm dia. pipes along the services corridor.
