Significant environmental impacts are not

some vegetation lost in the immediate
vicinity, the lost is not considered to be

There is potential for noise, dust and
sediment/erosion impacts in the immediate
surrounds
during
earthworks
and
construction activity.
These will be
controlled and regulated to avoid or
minimise unreasonable impacts.
b)
Any transformation of a locality.
The proposed activity includes earthworks
comprised of cut and fill and relocation or
removal of redundant and obsolete service
infrastructure. The works are part of the
strategic plan to improve the road capacity
and will east in improving the traffic

The vegetation removal works proposed are
not significant given that the proposed
activity area is not mapped as containing
significant
environmental
values.
Vegetation is only to be removed where
necessary for the road corridor extension
and within the disturbed landform. As such,
significant on ecosystems or habitats are
not envisaged. However, construction and
demolition activity may result in minor and
short-term impacts (such as dust or noise)
that can be mitigated by taking appropriate
measures during the construction phase.

d)
Any reduction of the aesthetic,

or
other
environmental quality or value of a
locality.
Reductions in the environmental qualities or
values of the locality are not anticipated.
The proposed activity is to be undertaken
within a disturbed land and seeks to extend

significance or other special value for
present or future generations.
The Site immediate to the proposed activity
area is identified as being affected by local
Aboriginal Heritage Items or places. In
support of this Review of Environmental
Factor, a Statement of Heritage Impact has
been prepared by Niche Environment and
Heritage and contained in Appendix B.
Overall, the findings of the report
demonstrated that Heritage Items or places
can be maintained as part of the proposed
activity.
Recommendations
are
also
proposed to ensure impacts on the local
heritage matter are avoided or minimised.
