Impact Environmental safeguard Responsibility Timing Potential for construction vibration causing structural damage and human discomfort at all work sites except F1 and F2 Potential noise and vibration nuisance and amenity impacts during construction. Affects the entire proposal footprint Undertake a location-specific vibration assessment prior to construction where there is the planned use of a vibratory roller. The survey should assess all receivers within the distance limits specified in Table 6-15 depending on the size of vibratory roller that would be used on site. Undertake the following actions in locations where there is the potential for vibration impacts: Building condition surveys for any locations identified to be within the safe working distance both before and after the works to identify existing damage and any damage due to the works Vibration monitoring during vibration intensive works In the case that exceedances are detected, review the situation and identify means to minimise impacts to residents and the appropriate changes made and the CNVMP updated accordingly. Restrict the use of any vibratory rollers above four tonnes. If this is not feasible implement respite periods to manage human comfort impacts. Provide a 24-hour community hotline for complaints and queries concerning construction and advertise this ahead of starting any work. Develop a complaints handling procedure. Inform the community in advance of commencing any planned works, through advertisement, flyers and community consultation sessions. Construction contractors Construction contractor Preconstruction Preconstruction Make the construction program available to the community and ensure it is routinely updated as works progress.
