Impact Environmental safeguard Responsibility Timing Potential impacts on heritage items, and archaeology Investigate and prepare a report to assess the heritage and archaeological impacts in close proximity to the planned work. Focus on potential impacts on the sandstone plinth of the former palisade fence that surrounded Hyde Park (work site C2: College Street) and Busby’s Bore (work site C1: Wentworth Avenue). If a potential risk is identified consider design modifications including avoidance. Implement additional safeguards and management measures if there is a residual impact that cannot be avoided/ sufficiently minimised through design. This would be undertaken in consultation with an experienced heritage practitioner to reduce potential adverse heritage impacts on significant fabric. Note: Any monitoring and recording should be undertaken in accordance with relevant approvals under the Heritage Act 1977 commensurate with the significance of the potential archaeological resource and the level of archaeological impacts. Roads and Maritime Detailed design Archaeological impacts due to the required excavation and earthworks associated with the utilities and drainage adjustments Obtain either an excavation permit or exemption notification under the Heritage Act 1977 in instances where there is a residual archaeological impact. The final excavation depths and extent would determine the need for a either a permit or exception. Prepare an archaeological research design or work method statement to support the permit/exception application.

Impact Environmental safeguard Responsibility Timing Unexpected finds discovery at any location across the proposal footprint Human remains discovery at any location across the proposal footprint Prepare an archaeological research design or work method statement to support the approval/exception application. Immediately cease all works within 10 metres of discovering an unexpected find (eg archaeological remains, heritage item, potential relic). Subsequently impact the provisions of Standard Management Procedure: Unexpected Archaeological Finds (Roads and Maritime, 2012). Principally this would involve: The onsite supervisor informing the Roads and Maritime Heritage Officer/Environment Officer Roads and Maritime subsequently notifying Heritage Division of Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) in accordance with section 146 of the Heritage Act 1977 An archaeologist recording the location and context of any historic heritage Managing any significant finds to allow for their long-term storage. Handle human remains under the same process as an unexpected finds discovery; however, prior to the archaeologist recording the find contact the NSW Police, the OEH environment line and the OEH anthropologist. Construction contractor Construction contractor Construction Construction Heritage induction training to cover all works across the proposal footprint Provide non-Aboriginal heritage awareness training to the construction workforce prior to starting on site Provide the non-Aboriginal heritage awareness training to any person or visiting site during construction Construction contractor Preconstruction Make the construction workforce aware of the work’s identified heritage impacts.
