5.10. TransportPresent the transport assessment in separate reports for each project-affected mode(road, rail, sea and air) as appropriate for the construction and operation stages <strong>of</strong> theproject. These assessment reports should provide sufficient information to allow anindependent assessment <strong>of</strong> how existing transport infrastructure will be affected byproject transport at the local and regional level.5.10.1. Existing infrastructureDescribe the extent, condition, volumes and capacity <strong>of</strong> the existing transportinfrastructure on which the project will depend (refer also to Part B, Section 4.5).5.10.2. Transport tasks and routesDescribe:• expected volumes <strong>of</strong> project inputs and outputs <strong>of</strong> transported raw materials,wastes, hazardous goods and finished products for all stages <strong>of</strong> the project• how identified project inputs and outputs will be moved through the local andregional transport network (volume, composition, mode, trip timing and routes)during the construction and operation stages <strong>of</strong> the project• traffic generated by personnel associated with the project (volume, composition,timing and routes)• arrangements for workforce transport to and from the project areas, includingproposed use <strong>of</strong> regional or charter air services• likely heavy and oversize/indivisible loads (volume, composition, timing and routes),highlighting any vulnerable bridges and structures along proposed routes.Include an overview map(s) that shows the project’s relationship with current and futurelocal and state-controlled road networks. Include in the map(s) the location <strong>of</strong>construction activities and access locations (existing and proposed).5.10.3. Potential impacts and mitigation measuresInclude details <strong>of</strong> the adopted assessment methodology (for impacts on roads: the roadimpact assessment (RIA) report in general accordance with the Guidelines forAssessment <strong>of</strong> Road Impacts <strong>of</strong> Development (GARID) (Department <strong>of</strong> Main Roads2006).For inclusion in an RIA, assess project impacts, in consultation with relevant transportauthorities and providers, for example TMR, MRC, <strong>Queensland</strong> Police Service,<strong>Queensland</strong> Rail, on:• local and state-controlled road networks, including key road and road/railintersections during the construction and operation stages <strong>of</strong> the project• capacity, safety, local amenity, efficiency and condition <strong>of</strong> transport operations,services and assets (from either transport or project operations)• walking and cycling paths• possible interruptions to transport operations (for example, road closures anddiversions)- 52 - Contents <strong>of</strong> the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals Project<strong>Terms</strong> <strong>of</strong> reference for an environmental impact statement
• the natural environment within the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> an affected transport authority (forexample, road and rail corridors)• the nature and likelihood <strong>of</strong> product-spill during transport, if relevant• driver fatigue for workers travelling to and from regional centres and keydestinations• any existing or proposed strategies for public passenger transport and activetransport and address, where relevant, requirements <strong>of</strong> Part 2A <strong>of</strong> the TransportPlanning and Coordination Act• access to transport for people with a disability.Mitigation strategies are to be outlined, for inclusion in a road-use management plan(RUMP), to be finalised in consultation with relevant transport authorities and providers,subsequent to the EIS, which will:• consider the state and local agencies’ works programs and forward planning thatmay affect the study area• itemise the requirement for construction <strong>of</strong> new transport infrastructure andupgrading <strong>of</strong> existing infrastructure. Any required road works should be designedand constructed in accordance to the Interim Guide to Road Planning and DesignPractice (Department <strong>of</strong> Transport and Main Roads 2010a) or local governmentstandards as required• indicate the timing, responsibilities and financial contribution for any required roadworks and additional transport infrastructure.Traffic management issues for any required road works, and any approvals under theTIA may be finalised in a traffic management plan at pre-construction stage.5.10.4. Infrastructure alterationsDetail:• any proposed alterations or new transport-related infrastructure and servicesrequired by the project, as distinct from impact mitigation works• construction <strong>of</strong> any project-related plant and utilities, within or impacting on thejurisdiction <strong>of</strong> any transport authority.5.10.5. Transport management strategiesDiscuss and recommend how identified impacts will be mitigated so as to maintainsafety, efficiency and condition <strong>of</strong> each mode. These mitigation strategies are to beprepared in close consultation with relevant transport authorities, including localgovernment, and consider those authorities’ works programs and forward planning.Findings <strong>of</strong> studies and transport infrastructure impact assessments should be an inputinto preparing the RUMP.Road/railOutline, for input to a RUMP to be finalised in consultation with relevant transportauthorities and providers subsequent to the EIS:Contents <strong>of</strong> the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals Project<strong>Terms</strong> <strong>of</strong> reference for an environmental impact statement- 53 -
