ENVIRONMENTAL HARM RISKS                                MITIGATION
There is risk that the works do impact on               The alignment of the boardwalk was developed to
vegetation by machinery coming into contact             reduce the risk of vegetation impacts by working
above and below ground.                                 around existing trees and allowing trees to
                                                        penetrate the deck. This intent is supported by the
                                                        contractor’s construction methodology that utilises
                                                        the existing alignment for equipment access and
                                                        uses equipment appropriate for each location.

                                                        ensure Hold points for each area will be
                                                        established and a risk based approach for
                                                        construction methodology to ensure impacts are
                                                        minimised
Risk of spills from materials such as grout.            Changes in micropiling techniques allow for drilling
                                                        to carried out through noise attenuated air drilling.


SCOPE AND QUALITY RISKS                                 MITIGATION
Risk of not meeting project objectives.                 To be managed through Council staff reviews
