SECTION 171(2)
FACTOR
COMMENTS
IMPACT
Whilst the proposal results in minor aesthetic alteration within
the locality by virtue of the extensions proposed. The location of
the activity and works proposed are not considered to impacts on
items or places of aesthetic, anthropological, archaeological,
architectural, cultural, historical, scientific or social significance.
The works are contained within the existing disturbed land form
and the heritage areas are avoided by the proposal except for
areas with heritage approval.
Minor
(f) the impact on the
habitat of protected
animals, within the
meaning of the
Biodiversity
Conservation Act 2016,
Impacts on habitat are not envisaged. Works are not proposed
within habitat of protected animals.
Nil/minor
(g) the endangering of a
species of animal, plant or
other form of life, whether
living on land, in water or
in the air,
Based on the scale and nature of the activity proposed, species
are not endangered. The proposed extension is not considered to
introduce new impacts beyond the existing disturbed land use to
endanger species of animal, plant or other form of life, whether
living on land, in water or in the air.
None
(h) long-term effects on
the environment,
No long-term effects on the environment expected.
None
(i) degradation of the
quality of the environment,
Earthworks comprised of cut and fill may result in alteration of
natural environmental processes such as hydrology which can
increase surface runoff. The works are to be undertaken with the
recommendation of a suitably qualified engineer.
Nil/minor
(j) risk to the safety of the
environment,
Risk to the safety of the environment are not envisaged.
Adequate environmental protection measures are to be
implemented during the relevant works.
None
(k) reduction in the range
of beneficial uses of the
environment,
Reduction in the range of beneficial uses of the environment are
not envisaged. The proposed activity area is comprised of a
disturbed landform.
None
(l) pollution of the
environment,
Environmental pollution risk is minor and can be managed in
accordance with the recommendations of this assessment. The
scale and nature of the activity does not present a high pollution
risk. Waste materials from the excavation can be managed and
disposed of appropriately to avoid unnecessary environmental
risk.
Minor /
ShortTerm
(m) environmental
problems associated with
the disposal of waste,
Any hazardous waste (e.g. asbestos containing materials) will be
recovered and removed from the site for appropriate disposal.
Minor
(n) increased demands on
natural or other resources
that are, or are likely to
become, in short supply,
The activity will not involve the use of rare resources.
None
(e) the effects on any
locality, place or building
that has—
(i) aesthetic,
anthropological,
archaeological,
architectural,
cultural, historical,
scientific or social
significance, or
(ii) other special value
for present or future
generations,
(o) the cumulative
environmental effect with
other existing or likely
future activities,
None
The project would not contribute to the cumulative environmental
impacts of existing or likely activities in the vicinity.
