Introduction
This document presents an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) by Woollam (the Contractor) in relation to
the Ozcare Noosa Residential Aged Care Facility. This EMP has been prepared to ensure that practical
measures are implemented for controlling and minimising environmental impacts, and to demonstrate
compliance with the Environmental Protection Act 1994, Environmental Protection Regulations 2019 and any
other relevant Acts, Regulations Standards and Codes.
This EMP for the construction project has been formulated with linkages to the Contractor’s Quality
Management System, and makes provision for:
• description of potential environmental impacts
• detail of impact control
• timetable for implementing control measures
• allocation of responsibilities for implementation; and
• monitoring and reporting.
The scope of the EMP covers the period from pre-construction through to post-construction activities.
Site Description and Layout
The location of the construction project is the existing Ozcare Noosa Heads Aged Care Facility located at 80 Cooyar
Street, Noosa Heads, QLD, 4567.
The facility covers approximately 2.5ha and is located in the southern extent of Noosa Heads. In general, the
facility occupies the majority of the site hosting numerous buildings, carparks, courtyards and maintenance
shed with only scattered mature tress present. Natural bushland is present within the northern corner and
lining the Western boundary of the site. The site is bordered by Girraween Nature Refuge and Noosa National
Park to the north and east, Council reserve land to the south and urban land uses comprised of government
and residential to the southwest and west.

Access to the site is from Elenora Terrace off Cooyar Street.
The construction works are being completed in four stages, with all works stages, site facilities etc covering a
total area of approximately 18,500 m2. Works include the staged demolition of existing single storey
structures and the construction of new two storey residential buildings and single storey admin and service
areas.
The government and residential areas are not directly adjacent the work areas and we foresee minimal to nil
impact on these locations. Access to the main site areas is via the fire trail which is to the rear of the facility
and backs onto the National Park. All demolition and construction activities and access/egress are proposed to
be via the fire trail for all stages of work.
Figure 1 shows the proposed site access and site layout.

General Environmental Impacts
The internal and external impacts and aspects that have been identified for this specific project, with particular
relevance to environmental management, are addressed in more detail in the Hazard / Risk Register.
Some of these contextual issues identified include:
Element Existing Conditions and Key Issues
Air Quality Local air quality is considered good due to the bushland setting of the site.
While construction vehicles and open excavations have potential to cause localised
dust nuisance.
Fauna and Flora Works require the removal of some native vegetation or construction in close
proximity to it.
Construction activities and vehicle movements have the potential to spread noxious
weed infestations.
Greenhouse Gases The materials, fuel and electricity used during the works result in the emission of
greenhouse gasses, contributing to climate change.
Landscape and Visual Construction will occur mainly in urbanised areas with residential and commercial
Amenity properties in close proximity.
Noise and Vibration All activities have the potential to generate nuisance noise and vibration that may
impact on the amenity of local residents and businesses.
Resource Use and The project has the potential to produce large quantities of waste, including waste soil
Waste and slurry from non-destructive digging that depletes limited landfill space.
Water - Groundwater Groundwater indicated on the Geotech Report across most of the site ranging from
0.4m to 1.4m down. No contamination identified.
Groundwater drawdown has the potential to cause land subsidence, affect tree and
other vegetation growth or change the flow and distribution of local contamination
plumes.
Water – Surface Water Rainfall during earthworks has the potential to cause erosion and suspension of
sediment in runoff to stormwater and waterways.
Spills of fuel, oil and other materials have the potential to contaminate water.
Opportunity – if you have a sediment basin use the captured water for dust
suppression during civil works.

Hazard / Risk Register
The Hazard / Risk Register is a list of the hazards/risks that Woollam has identified arising from the
contracted/agreed work activities from previous similar projects. These hazards are risk rated and are
reviewed at least annually, and during the preparation of the project specific Environmental Management
Plan.
During the Project Start Up Meeting, site specific controls will be added and generic hazards/risks or proposed
control measures that are not relevant will be removed. Controls should only be added to the site-specific
controls list if they are to be used.
Site Managers are encouraged to consult the risk register to assist with controls to be implemented and to
amend, alter and add to the risk register if new site-specific hazards/risks are identified. Any changes to the
Risk Register including design changes should be communicated to the workers via a Toolbox Talk.

Environmental Observation
The Environmental Observation form shall be completed by Directors, Regional Managers, HSEQT Manger,
Project Managers, Site Managers, Leading Hands and Site HSE Advisors to monitor and evaluate the
effectiveness of implemented control measures regarding the environment.
Environmental Task Observations to be conducted on a regular basis in conjunction with the Weekly Safety
and Environmental Inspection.
Wherever possible, Contract Partners should be involved in the environmental observation process. When this
does occur add the name of the participating person to the task observation form.
When completing the environmental observation, the following points should be taken into account:
Waste Noise Dust
• Is waste being managed • Do plant and equipment have • Are dust mitigation
appropriately? appropriate noise suppression processes in place?
• Is there adequate number of devices? • Are they controlling and
skips? Are they located • Is noisy equipment placed away dust concerns?
appropriately? from noise sensitive areas?
• Are hours being worked in line
with the requirements of the
EMP?

Outcomes of the discussions with workers should be recorded.
Risks and opportunities (a more effective environmental control, etc) should also be recorded.
Any follow up actions required should be documented including a description of who is to complete the action
and when it must be completed by. Once the corrective action is complete it should be signed off.
If there are no corrective actions or after all corrective actions are completed than the person conducting the
observation should sign off and date at the bottom of the form.
All completed Environmental Observation Forms are to either be completed, scanned and kept in the project
folder or completed on Procore.

Training, Awareness and
Competence
Site Managers/Leading Hands will receive training in the use of this management plan using the Environmental
Management Plan Training Program at the commencement of each project. Evidence will be recorded on the
Environmental Management Plan Training Program Questionnaire and saved in the EMP for the Project. The
Training Register will be updated each time this training is undertaken. Alternatively, the information will be
recorded on the HR training system ELMO.
Additional environmental training, if deemed necessary, shall be given to all employees and Contract Partners
in conjunction with the Site-Specific Induction. The objective of the training will be to make all employees
aware of and have an understanding of the Environmental Management Plan and Woollam environmental
operating guidelines.
Relevant employees involved in the use of machinery and materials on site shall be trained in practices for
minimising environmental problems, including noise, dust, water quality, waste and contamination. The Site
Manager shall be responsible for ensuring that relevant site personnel receive safety and environmental
training where required. Records shall be maintained of employees and subcontractors who have received this
safety and environmental training.
