How we will manage our works
We will minimise impacts to the community by:
Transporting materials from site in covered trucks to minimise dust
Safely removing hazardous materials in accordance with EPA regulations
Scheduling works to reduce impacts
Maintaining access to homes and businesses
Monitoring noise, dust and vibration levels
Minimising light spill
Turning off equipment when not in use
Using noise blankets on equipment
Using water and dust suppressants.
