ATTUNGA HEIGHTS PRELIMINARY EMP

1.5 EMP ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

The EMP will be implemented through a structured framework identifying roles and clearly
allocating responsibilities for the various procedures, controls and reporting in accordance
with Schedule 1.

This section defines the responsibilities of the Project Manager, Superintendent, Contractor,
and Environmental Auditor for the environmental management of the project. The
responsibilities of the Project Manager, Superintendent, Contractors and Environmental
Auditor (as defined in Schedule 1) are identified in this EMP. It is the responsibility of the
Contractor to implement most of the procedures and monitoring specified in this EMP. If at
any stage during the course of works, non-compliance with an EMP occurs it is the duty of
the Contractor to implement appropriate control or remediation measures to comply with
these objectives.

EMP compliance will be audited regularly by the Environmental Auditor. Reports on
environmental performance and compliance advice will be issued to the Contractor, through
the Superintendent, during the project.

1.5.1 General

All parties involved in the project are required to undertake their work in accordance with
relevant Acts, Policies and Regulations. In particular the parties are referred to the
Environmental Protection Act 1994 and Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 which
require individuals and organisations to take all reasonable and practicable measures to
prevent or minimise environmental harm and to ensure construction activities do not harm
cultural heritage. All personnel involved in the project have an obligation to show due
diligence with respect to management of all potential environmental and cultural heritage
impacts. Any party ignoring these issues may be subject to prosecution under these Acts.

Induction for all staff engaged on the project shall take place before work commences so
that they are aware of environmental and cultural heritage values and potential issues, and
the applicable compliance procedures. A copy of the EMP shall be kept on site by the
Contractor and readily obtainable by anyone on-site.

Any proposed changes to the current revision of EMPs by the Project Manager,
Superintendent or Contractor shall be forwarded to the Environmental Auditor for
consideration and approval from Council prior to any proposed changes being implemented.
