5. RISK MANAGEMENT (MP:10)
5.1 General Guidelines
HB has developed a comprehensive risk management process in accordance with Risk Assessment Procedure
(MP:10). Attempting to manage risk, to a level ‘As Low As Reasonably Practicable’ (ALARP). The project risk
management will be as follows;
Project Risk Register.
Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) – Generic.
Activity specific SWMS developed on site for high risk site specific tasks.
A Sample of primary Project Risk Assessment & SWMS can be located in Appendix 1 & 2 of this WHSMP:01.
5.1.1 PRA
The Project Risk Assessment (PRA) is completed as an overall assessment of the potential risks identified for
the project prior to its commencement. The Site Management Team should look at the design risk
assessment, the scope of works and the subcontractor activities and carry out the risk assessment process.
Project risk assessment shall be completed with a consultative approach by the Site Manager, Health & Safety
Officer and Project Manager. Other stakeholders will be involved as required and where appropriate this will
be facilitated through a pre-commencement workshop. Non-relevant controls will be removed or scribed out
from the PRA. The project risk assessment will directly form Appendix 1 of the WHSMP and will be reviewed
on a 3 monthly basis.
5.1.2 SWMS
The HB Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) will be completed by all direct employees prior to the
commencement of the task. Subcontractors are to provide completed SWMS relevant to the contracted
works as per section 2.3 Responsibilities of All Personnel Including Sub Contractors (PP:03). The SWMS shall
be developed for specific high risk tasks that will be completed on the project. The SWMS will be reviewed
and completed in consultation with the worker or workers representative, detailing the specific steps in the
activity and any associated controls. The SWMS will be reviewed and signed off by site management prior to
commencement of the task (see MP:10). Ongoing review of both HB and subcontractor SWMS will be carried
out through the Task Observation process detailed in section 9.3
5.1.3 Safety in Design
HB will ensure that all design work is undertaken within a structured framework of fulfilling WHS obligations
in relation to both the systematic identification of major risks and the subsequent proposal of appropriate
control measures. A formal safety in design risk assessment will be undertaken to review the design of the
project and understand the risks associated with the design integrity and the risk created by the build ability
of that design –MP:13 HB Risk Management for Design-Construct Projects.
The safety in design process may be facilitated through a workshop as detailed in MP:13. Close out of
actions/issues raised in the design risk assessment will be allocated to relevant stakeholders. Any remaining
buildability risks will be transferred to the Project Risk Register and managed as per MP:10 Risk Assessment
Procedure through site based controls and SWMS.

Project HSEQ Compliance Audits or external site inspections and WHSMP reviews shall be undertaken as
prescribed by the Team Safety Manager for the project and in conjunction with Procedure MP: 05 Inspections
and Monitoring of health and Safety;
Review WHSMP including Project Risk Assessment (not exceeding 3 months)
HSE Audit refer to HSE / O&T Audit Checklist - HB-HSEQ-F-046-A (not exceeding 3 months)
Records (See MP:12)
Site Inspection Checklists, Corrective Action Reports and Tool Box Talks will be maintained on
file on site.
Weekly Health, Safety & Environment and Corrective Action Reports will be maintained on file
on site and a copy is to be sent to Project Manager.
9.2 Weekly Site Safety Inspection/Daily Visual Inspection
The Health & Safety Advisor or delegated person will formally review the site safety standard on a weekly
basis. This will be done by using the Weekly Site Safety Inspection Checklist (HB-HSEQ-F-048). The Site
Manager or Safety Officer shall review the checklist and address findings accordingly. An informal daily visual
inspection shall also be undertaken and any findings addressed accordingly.
9.3 Task Observations
Task Observations are to be used by all personnel on site to encourage an active role in fostering a safe
behavioural culture in every task undertaken.
Task Observations are to be used during active work tasks to enable personnel to review the work process in
a constructive way to identify possible improvements. The principle behind this observation is that it is not a
personal issue relating to individual performance, but an opportunity to be active in ensuring safety and
health improvements, hence the motto ‘No name, No blame’. Task Observations should be conducted by site
HSE Officer at least once a week, and Site managers are to complete task observations as required by the
HSE Project Performance Measures. The task observations are to be completed when work tasks are being
conducted in order to identify opportunities for improvement. If at risk behaviour is observed, the supervisor
must be informed and act accordingly.
Task Observation Form (HB-HSEQ-F-052) shall be used for all task observations.

10. INCIDENT REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION (MP:08)
HB policy is to report and document all accidents / incidents / hazards and near misses, in accordance with
procedure MP:08, on an Incident / Accident / Hazard Report Form (HB-HSEQ-F-027-B). All information
gathered can provide an important indicator of any emerging trends or particularly hazardous items. All
significant incidences must be fully investigated with the cause identified to enable suitable actions be put in
place to prevent similar reoccurrences.
All injuries must be reported to the Health & Safety Officer and First Aid Officer immediately at the time of
occurrence. This is very important for managing injuries and minimising the impact.
The Site Manager, on completion of the investigation, must sign off accidents / incidents / hazards and near
misses on the Incident / Accident / Hazard Report Form (HB-HSEQ-F-027-B).
HB has a legal duty to investigate the circumstances of every accident and incident reported which results in
injury to personnel.
10.1 Internal Incident Reporting Process (Procedure MP:08)
HB Incident reporting process has been outlined in the following flowchart.

11. MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE (MP:12)
The purpose of Management of Change (MOC) is to verify that changes in facilities, documentation,
personnel and operations are evaluated and managed. Management will ensure that the safety, health,
quality and environmental risks arising from these changes are controlled.
HB have identified three main degrees of change within an organisation and within a specific project. These
are as follows;
Permanent Change - A change is considered long term and durable. Any change which is not
categorised as a Temporary Change.
Temporary Change - A change which has a defined lifetime and which will be removed before
a defined date (usually no more than six months). All temporary changes must have a
specified removal date.
Emergency Change - The emergency change path allows the change to be implemented and
commissioned immediately in order to address an immediate safety, operational, health,
environmental, or product quality situation.
Resulting from the MOC process controlled documents may need alteration, controlling and reissuing which
would be managed under the HB Corporate Management Procedure OHS Records and Document
Development (MP:12). The process identified below will assist in the MOC with respect to the Operational
and resourcing issues that may be encountered on the project.
The two significant types of change that will affect the project are:
Systems Change
A systems change includes a change in the system as a result of a defect, identified hazard, incident, accident,
environmental impact or the like that will result in a change to the systematic approach to delivery. This type
of change will not impact the program if rectified immediately.
Operations Change
An operations change is any change to the process that will affect the operations and impact overall program.
The operations change may include resourcing issues, subcontractor deficiencies, management of key
personnel, design changes etc.
At HB all personnel will identify changes & initiate the MOC process when required. The MOC will be handled
initially by the project management team and will then be escalated to the Team Leader if a resolution cannot
be sought. The Corporate Safety Manager may also be required to assist when a systems change has the
potential to impact the entire organisation.
The change management process at HB will be managed through the use of a Corrective Action Report Form
(HB-HSEQ-F-029-A) and will be submitted through the project team and recorded on the Project CAR Register
(HB-HSEQ-F-029).
The following areas will be reviewed as part of the CAR process;
Changes are designed so that the safety, health, environmental, and security risks remain
acceptable. Changes are analysed for safety, health, human factors, environmental, and
product quality impact, using methods appropriate to the hazards associated with the change.
Changes are described in documentation that includes the reasons for the change and the
potential impact to safety, security, human factors, health, environment, and product quality.
Changes are communicated to employees and third parties before the employees become
involved in operating the equipment or processes that have changes.
Page 36 of 58
Section 37
Hutchinson Builders – ABN:52 009 778 330
WHSMP:01 – Work Health & Safety Management Plan
Version: 9.2
When training is needed, in addition to communication of the change, it will be provided
before an employee becomes involved in operating the change.
Documentation that is necessary for authorizing the change will be updated and available for
use in implementing the change.
Changes in key personnel will be made promptly and be communicated to all of the relevant
stakeholders.

12. RECORD MAINTAINANCE & RETENTION
Throughout the life of the project various documents will be required to be maintained on site. Upon
completion of the project there will be various plans, registers and forms that under law will be required to
be retained for an additional period (see Document Record Matrix HB-HSEQ-F-002).
In the event of a serious or notifiable incident occurring onsite state specific Health & Safety Regulations
require additional retention periods of the following documents:
Incident Report
Safe Work Method Statement associated with the works
Induction Records
Corrective Actions Issued
Toolbox Talks / Pre-start meetings
Photographs
Permits
Regulator reports and
Any additional supporting evidence
All incident reports and supporting evidence are to be reported to HB Corporate Health & Safety Team in
accordance with Section 10 of the WHSMP and Corporate Management Procedure Incident / Accident
Investigation & Reporting (MP:08). All relevant documentation will be retained on file for a period not less
than 7 years following a serious or notifiable event and records will be maintained by the Team HSE Manager
and the Corporate HSE Team.

13. PERSONAL SAFETY (SP:04)
13.1 Personal Protective Equipment
HB identifies the requirements to provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to direct employees. As such
HB will provide suitable PPE in alignment with Australian Standards. Employees will be instructed on how to
adequately use and personal protective equipment. PPE will be replaced on a ‘fair wear & tear’ basis when
defective/damaged or when an expiry date has been reached. Following supply and instruction it is then the
responsibility of the worker to maintain and look after their individual PPE, and inform the appropriate
people if and when equipment replacements are required.
The PPE requirement for visitors on site includes – leather enclosed footwear, hard hat and high-Vis safety
vest (to Australian standard) unless in the site office. Where necessary the site management must make
additional PPE available for use.
HB will meet the requirements through compliance with the relevant Health & Safety Regulations as detailed
below.
Suitable and sufficient equipment for the employee’s protection
Information and training on the correct use, maintenance and storage of PPE
Compatible signage required
Personal Protective Equipment issued must comply with Codes of Practice and Australian
Standards.
All persons on site must wear the required PPE as noted in the site induction and in the site rules.
Additional PPE to shall be worn for tasks where identified in the SWMS.
13.2 Heat Exhaustion
Heat exhaustion is a serious illness caused by excessive exposure to heat. It is often brought on by
overexertion or profuse sweating in a hot, humid, poorly ventilated environment. Acclimatization is a factor
that needs to be considered and observed as the change in climate from project area to usual work area may
differ. During prolonged heat waves the very young and the very old are also often at risk, even if they are
not active. If heat exhaustion is recognized and treated promptly, the effects can easily be reversed.
Signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
Feeling weak, faint or dizzy with an accompanying headache or nausea.
Cold, clammy skin with ashen pallor.
Dry tongue and thirst.
Severe muscle fatigue.
Loss of appetite.
Profuse sweating.
Physical collapse with muscle fatigue and sometimes cramping
Under the current WHS (2011) legislation, there is no prescribed maximum or minimum temperature
specified where work at a construction site must cease. HB will manage the effects of potential heat stress
by;
Ensuring cold water bubblers are installed on site, in working order and encourage personnel
to use them regularly
Page 39 of 58
Section 40
Hutchinson Builders – ABN:52 009 778 330
WHSMP:01 – Work Health & Safety Management Plan
Version: 9.2
Provide clip on wide brimmed visors for hard hats
Encourage when possible to work in shaded areas.
Train personnel on how to prevent heat exhaustion, recognize the signs and to take regular
breaks when physically exerting themselves.
During extreme hot weather conditions HB in conjunction with all subcontractors on site will ensure the
following is considered:
nature of works being undertaken;
duration of exposure to the heat;
workers who raise safety issues as a result of working in hot weather conditions may be
relocated to cooler shaded work areas on site (where reasonably practicable). This process will
be undertaken in consultation with the Site HSE Committee
13.3 UV Protection
Harmful to the skin, Ultra-violet (UV) radiation is emitted by the sun. Causing sunburn and often leading to
the development of potentially cancerous melanomas. In an effort to protect all workers HB recommend all
personnel follow the guidelines listed below:
For best protection from the sun, a combination of sun protection measures is recommended, including:
Seeking shade.
Wearing protective clothing that covers the arms and legs as well as the body.
Wearing a hard hat with shade brim to protect face and neck.
Wearing wraparound tinted safety glasses.
Using SPF30+ or SPF 50+ broad spectrum sunscreen, this should be reapplied every 2 hours.
13.4 Working Alone
In the event a worker is required to work alone a specific SWMS must be submitted to the Project Manager
for approval. It is essential the worker is able to operate safely and responsibly with limited infrastructure
and support in all climates.
The person must be provided with a suitable vehicle, where appropriate, and suitable equipment to work
alone (including communications and emergency equipment).
A person working alone must be competent to:
Carry out all work activities safely without direct supervision.
Manage events that are likely to occur when working alone.
Follow procedures to obtain emergency assistance if required.
Follow procedures to establish regular contact with a nominated person at 3 hour intervals,
until they returned to site.
This is very unlikely to happen and only under extreme situations may this occur.
13.5 Wet Weather Procedure
After periods of wet weather, HB Supervisor personnel and Subcontractor Supervisors/Representatives will
inspect all work areas prior to workers commencing / re-commencing works on site. The inspection will cover
all work areas and access ways and determine whether the areas are safe to open or whether dewatering is
Page 40 of 58
Section 41
Hutchinson Builders – ABN:52 009 778 330
WHSMP:01 – Work Health & Safety Management Plan
Version: 9.2
required. The status of dry work areas and access ways will be communicated to Project personnel. Workers
required undertaking dewatering activities will be supplied with appropriate PPE.

14. MANUAL HANDLING
HB recognises that manual handling of loads is the largest single category of workplace injury and every effort
must be made to prevent this. Work related back pain is the most common type of manual handling injury.
Other injuries, such as those to the shoulders, neck, knees and ankles, can also result from manual handling.
HB have developed a Project Risk Assessment and Generic Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS:04 –
Manual Tasks) to identify and control risks associated with manual handling.
14.1 Legislation
Australia’s National Standard for Manual Handling, and Code of Practice 2011 – Hazardous Manual Tasks.
Requires employers, so far as is reasonably practical, to avoid manual handling operations which involve a
risk of injury to personnel. Where it is not reasonable for manual handling to be avoided an assessment of
the operation must be carried out and the risk reduced.
14.2 General Guidance
Manual handling is not simply lifting items. It concerns all aspects of manually manoeuvring loads, e.g.
pushing, pulling, lifting, carrying, tilting, etc. A load is anything that has to be moved, e.g. an oil drum, a box
of typing paper, a crate full of machinery, a vacuum cleaner, a tool box, etc.
Severe and sometimes permanent injuries can be caused by incorrect manual handling of materials and
loads. Some of the injuries sustained include:
Acute or chronic muscle strain.
Ruptured discs.
Fractured bones.
Damaged ligaments or tendons.
Hernias.
Wounds or bruises.
Sprains and strains arising from the incorrect application and/or prolonged use of bodily
force.
Poor posture and excessive repetition of movement can be important factors in the onset of injury. Many
handling injuries are cumulative rather than being truly attributable to any single handling incident.
When conducting the risk assessment the following guidelines apply:
Observe all existing and proposed manual handling activities and consider whether they are
hazardous, i.e. likely to cause injury to the individual(s) concerned with the job.
Ensure SWMS covers required lifting and manual handling control measures.
Follow SDS for chemical handling and movement.
Ergonomic Workstation Assessment will be completed if deemed necessary.

15. PERMITS TO WORK
HB utilises a Permit System to reduce the safety risks associated with specific work tasks. Specific work
permits have been designed to ensure the risks associated with performing specific work are considered and
controls implemented prior to the commencement of work. Permits are required to be completed prior to
the commencement of work and at the commencement of the works all permits must be closed out and filed
in accordance with Document Record Matrix (HB-HSEQ-F-002).
The following permits are required on HB projects:
15.1 Isolation/ Tag and Lockout
When working in the operational area, HB must comply with the Isolation & Lock Out Permit - HB-HSEQ-F-
074.
Out of Service tags:
An “Out of Service” tag is a notice that distinguishes appliances or equipment out of operation for repairs
and alteration or which is still being installed. While an Out of Service tag is attached to the appliance or
equipment it must not be operated. Out of service tags may be placed by any person familiar with the process
but shall only be removed by an authorized person.
Dangers Tags
The Danger Tag is designed to give YOU personal protection where there is risk of injury to YOU from the
operation of plant.
Danger Tags are used in a number of isolation situations:
a) Personal Danger Tags only;
b) Personal Danger Tags with locks (where applicable);
c) Personal Danger Tags with hasps and multiple locks (where applicable).

WHSMP:01 – Work Health & Safety Management Plan
Version: 9.2
15.2 Hot Work
Prior to the commencement of any hot work activity, a Hot Works Permit (HB-HSEQ-F-076) must be
completed by the person(s) requesting the permit. It then must be authorised by a Site Supervisor/Foreman,
or persons in control of the hot work. Whenever hot work is to be carried out in the specific SWMS shall be
completed. To ensure that the appropriate protection equipment is available and all necessary fire
precautions have been put into place. The operators shall wear the appropriate safety equipment and
protective clothing. Suitable screens shall be installed to prevent welding flashes affecting persons passing
the work area.
Prior to carry out any welding or cutting, procedure operators are required to:
Check that all leads, hoses and fittings are in good condition,
Check that the welder has the correct electrical tag and has been tested by a qualified
electrician,
Ensure that flash back arresters are fitted next to the regulators and hand pieces of the
oxygen and acetylene bottles,
Ensure correct PPE is used,
All welders must have correct deadmans switch or voltage reduction device (VRD) in place.
Electrical auxiliary outlets are to be blocked off on all welders.
15.3 Working at Heights
All tasks involving Working at Heights require a trained and in-date qualified person to carry out the task. The
qualification must be in Working at Heights and meet HB standards as a minimum and any other qualification
required for the task. All equipment required for Working at Heights, will be used, and with current testing
and tagging proof of in-date inspections. Working at Heights Permits (HB-HSEQ-F-077) will be required and
followed for working at heights i.e. No edge protection or in boom lifts, 100% hooked up with a harness is
required.
Platform Ladders & Ladders for Access
All ladders shall be of industrial 120kg load rating as a minimum, and shall conform to all applicable Australian
Standards.
Ladders should always be checked before use for faulty rungs or side rails and should not be
in use if faulty. It should be tagged with an “Out of Service tag,” reported and inspected by a
trained, qualified person.
The ladders should be placed on level and firm footings at a 4:1 ratio (4 meters up one meter
out), extended one meter (3 rungs) beyond the landing point, in a clearway and held by
another person as it is secured to the structure. Access points to roofs from ladders will be
free from crossbeams/posts.
Mud or grease must be cleaned off boots before attempting to climb the ladder.
A firm grip must be maintained while climbing up and down the ladder with three-point
contact with the ladder maintained at all times.
All tools and materials should be carried in a suitable pack with shoulder straps or be hoisted
by rope.
Checks must be made to determine if it is permissible to use aluminium ladders on the project
site prior to doing so.

Aluminium ladders must never be used while undertaking electrical work.
Any works to be performed from ladders must be done so from a platform ladder.
Ladders in use on mobile scaffolds will be attached to the mobile scaffold, not in the
permanent structure.
Is no longer than;
o 6 meters for a single ladder,
o Extension ladder for electrical work as defined in the Electrical Act 2002 – 9.2 meters or;
An extension ladder 7.5 meters.
15.4 Excavation & Penetrations
Excavations must be carried out in accordance with the SWMS to ensure a safe and efficient standard for
work is followed. Excavation includes, but is not limited to, breaking into:
Ground Tunnelling
Trenching Vertical Earth Cuts
Bulk earth excavation
Before any excavation work is carried out an Excavation Permit (HB-HSEQ-F-078) must be completed and
signed off by the person(s) requesting the permit, Site Manager/Foreman or person(s) in control of the
excavation.
Any opening or excavation exposed in the ground, wall or structure that could cause an accident
by person(s)/equipment falling in/through should be roped off or barricaded as soon as
practicable. The barrier must be maintained until the opening/excavation is closed off or
backfilled.
If the opening / excavation for ground excavations only have to be left open during the hours
of darkness the area should be clearly identified with the use of yellow flashing light.
Any unusual or unexpected conditions, such as underground power lines, pipes or sewers must
be reported immediately.
15.5 Coring / Drilling
Coring or drilling work must be carried out in accordance with the relevant SWMS and includes any coring /
cutting work where the worker will be breaking into:
Walls Ceilings

16. HIGH RISK WORK SYSTEMS
HB recognizes that there is a need for high risk work to be completed on construction projects. To meet this
requirement HB have developed SWMS for safe systems of work. Site specific SWMS are developed once
final scope and details of construction have been received. SWMS will be monitored through the completion
of Task Observations. Please refer to section 5.1.2 of this Plan for more information on SWMS requirements.
In the event of inclimate weather sites are to refer to the Bureau of Meteorology and/or relevant government
website in conjunction with Site Shut Down and Storm Preparation Checklist (HBHSEQ-F-084). In serious
weather conditions high risk work tasks should only be conducted following the completion of a relevant risk
assessment that deems the works safe to all stakeholders.
In addition to the above mentioned high risk work systems the following requirements shall also be met:
16.1 Demolition
All Demolition works shall only be undertaken by a licensed Demolition contractor in accordance with AS
2601 (The Demolition of Structures).
Demolition work includes any work to demolish, deconstruct or dismantle a structure, or part of a structure
that is load-bearing or otherwise related to the physical integrity of the structure. Demolition work involves
hazards for which potential exposure must be controlled, including:
falling objects, including part or all of a structure or debris
being struck or crushed by operating mobile plant
airborne contaminants, such as asbestos or silica.
Page 46 of 58
Section 47
Hutchinson Builders – ABN:52 009 778 330
WHSMP:01 – Work Health & Safety Management Plan
Version: 9.2
The WHS Regulation requires that demolition work be carried out by an appropriately licensed person
conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU). The WHS Regulation also requires that certain types of
demolition work be notified to the relevant state regulator. Notification is required 5 days prior to the
commencement of demolition works.
There are other requirements in the WHS Regulation which may apply to demolition or dismantling of a
structure. For example when demolition of a structure or plant containing asbestos occurs, specific asbestos
removal notification will be required.
Our qualifications/competencies check list; Demolition of Work Structures (HB-HSEQ-066) shall be enforced
prior to demolition work, and at regular intervals throughout demolition works.
16.2 Asbestos
All Project Management teams completing refurbishment works on existing buildings constructed before
1990’s should assume that there will be asbestos containing materials (ACM) in the existing structure. Where
teams are not sure whether a material contains asbestos assume it does and take adequate precautions. The
Project Risk Assessment (Appendix 1 of this WHSMP) is used to plan for the safe and compliant removal of
asbestos from the job site. In the event that ACM is found on site refer to the Asbestos Removal Checklist
(HB-HSEQ-F-063) and isolate the suspected area accordingly.
To ensure compliance with company procedure and legislation all sites are reminded that the following steps
should be followed to adequately prepare for the identification and removal of ACM during the construction
process;
Completion of the PRA – ‘Asbestos Removal’ section prior to commencement on site
Notification to the regulator 5 days prior to commencement
If ACM is identified refer to Removal of Asbestos material Checklist - HB-HSEQ-F-063.
Ensure the following occur if ACM is identified:
HB asbestos checklist will be completed prior to work starting.
The asbestos removal site will be clearly defined to ensure that non-essential persons do not
enter and to warn person that asbestos removal work is being carried out.
The Asbestos Removalist will be required to provide an Asbestos Removal Plan specific to the site that
addresses the following (as detailed in the COP - Safe Removal of Asbestos):
Third party air monitoring and sampling will be carried out to ensure minimum health and
safety standards for the duration of any asbestos removal work.
All dumping receipts for asbestos products will be obtained from the Asbestos Contractor.
The asbestos register will be updated following the asbestos removal work
A clearance certificate will be obtained from an independent third party certifier to the
Asbestos Contractor and forwarded to HB on completion of any asbestos removal work prior
to re-entry to the asbestos removal area.

HUTCHINSON BUILDERS | established 1912 Sea View Terrace Traffic Management Plan March 2016 Ref. MCU14/0084 Preamble Hutchinson Builders has been engaged to construct a private residence on vacant land situated at 71 Seaview Tce. Sunshine Beach QLD. A MCU approval has been granted with conditions that necessitate the lodgement of a Traffic and Pedestrian Management Plan as part of the Operational Works submission. The Operational Works application has been submitted on behalf of the owner by Martoo Consulting and this plan forms part of that submission. MCU Conditions This submission seeks to address conditions 18-19 of the MCU14/0084 Decision Notice A) Objectives To observe the MCU conditions 1. To minimise the impact the movement of traffic to and from the worksite will have on the premise occupants of Seaview Tce. 2. To protect the safety of occupants and pedestrians on the street and footpath of Seaview Tce. 3. To ensure that access is maintained to the residences of Seaview Tce and to the worksite. 4. To reduce the incidence of compliant to the local government authority. B) Constraints 1. Roadway width: Seaview Tce. between Macannaly Dve and the cul-de-sac, allows for one street car parking on the western side of the street only. The distance between a parked car and the edge of the asphalt seal is less than 3 metres, with the road reserve sloping away from the roadway edge. 2. Other building works: Construction work is current in this section of the street. Delivery trucks are at times unloaded from the street. This prevents passageway of vehicles in and out of Seaview Tce. Similar renovation and new construction work can be expected over the duration of the building programme. 3. The site is situated at the termination of a narrow access handle that does not provide for the parking of workers vehicles. The site itself provides little opportunity for site accommodation, storage of materials. This plan recognises each of these constraints and submits the following in consideration.

HUTCHINSON BUILDERS | established 1912 C) Plan Overview per attachments A MUTCD compliant Traffic & Pedestrian Plan for two phases of construction Proposed route for heavy vehicles with holding areas designated Proposed facility for bus parking and traffic control personnel amenities Proposed facility for transport, day to day car parking, material lay down, accommodation and overnight bus parking 5. Provision for loading and unloading of vehicles within the site PYNEP D) Plan Proposal The applicant acknowledges the MCU prohibition of workers parking their cars in the streets surrounding the site. It proposes to manage this by the following: 1, Establishment of a remote compound and car park on suitable road reserve. (See Off Site Parking Plan) The location and suitability of the site has been arrived at in consultation with the council's technical officer, Martin Sergus. The compound will serve to alleviate congestion in Seaview Tce resulting from material deliveries by semi- trailer. It will also provide lunch and toilet facilities. 2. Asmall bus will transport workers to and from the compound and to site. 3. The bus will be parked in Seaview Tce on road reserve during the day. The location and suitability of the parking area has been arrived at in consultation with Martin Sergus. (See Bus Parking Plan) Outside of working hours the bus will be parked at the remote compound. The applicant acknowledges that passageway along end the section of Seaview Tce. is constricted due to the narrowness of the road, permitted car parking along the western side, and lack of trafficable verge. The constriction is such that an ill-parked car will prevent truck access. The applicant proposes to manage this by: 1. 1 Traffic contro! in accordance with the MUTCD compliant Traffic & Pedestrian Plan attached. 2. Demarcation of the street parking from the carriageway by means of line marking and signage.

Hello Christopher,
I do not disagree with your assessment of the conditions or difficulties involved.
A parked car leaves about 3m of roadway for the trucks, but the council’s decision has given us little
alternative but to comply with their requirements.
Furthermore, my enquiries to them has left me with little confidence they will relax the conditions if
we go through the long process of appeal.
What I am asking you is if you will amend the TGS on the points they have listed for us.
Regards,
Matt Leeke

Hi Matt.
I’ve had a quick look at councils request.
The reasoning to not allowing parking along the road is we measure the road width to be approx.
3.5- 4.5 meters wide.( total available room )
I believe that this would leave insufficient room for construction equipment to pass a parked vehicle.
(attached image)
Maintaining traffic flow is the underlying reason for a no parking precinct during work hours. These
could be reduced to only occur when trucks are using the roadway, ie if there is restrictions to the
hours trucks can use this road. We could reduce the no parking to 9am-3pm ( within school hours).
Section 68
Stop slow operations of the street won’t fix the width problem in my opinion, a detour isn’t possible, and two way traffic is problematic in narrow streets, so exclusion was the only option left for parked cars. Re pedestrians. Their appears to be very limited access to pedestrians along one side of the road, and nil on the other. Maintaining access along one side isn’t an issue as I can’t see how this could be affected. There will be some restrictions at the works end, this being managed by the traffic controller. Instructions can be given to staff to give pedestrians priority to cross the road at this location if required. I’m unsure of where trucks would park on this street as it appears that any parking would in effect block the street. I was of the understanding that their was an off site parking area. ( from memory). I can add these clauses to the TGS but after a risk assessment of the road, I don’t believe what’s being asked for is possible and still provide a safe corridor for work vehicles and residents.

Use of this application elsewhere should rely on baseline distances certified by the relevant authority. Uncertainty of the Instrument Correction Minimum standard for the uncertainty of calibration of an EDM instrument is +( 4.00 mm + 20.00 ppm) as described in terms of Recommendation No.8 of the Working Party of the National Standards Commision on the calibration of EDM Equipment of 1 February, 1983. All uncertainties are specified at the 95 % confidence level. A coverage factor of 2 has been used for the uncertainty computations. The Least Uncertainty of Measurement as specified by the Accreditation Authority has been used for the uncertainty of the instrument correction. Uncertainty of instrument correction: +( 1.00 mm+ 2.00 ppm) Instrument Minimum Distance Uncertainty Standard (metres) (mm) (mm) Comparison Test 50 +1.10 +5.00 PASS 100 £1.20 +6.00 PASS 300 £1.60 +10.00 PASS 500 +2.00 +14.00 PASS 800 +2.60 +20.00 PASS 1100 +3.20 +26.00 PASS This instrument satisfies the National Standards Commission standards. First Velocity Correction (Atmospheric Correction) The atmospheric correction dial of the EDM instrument was set for all observations. Therefore the observed distances have already been corrected for atmospheric effects. To obtain a Regulation 13 Certificate for the purpose of legal traceability to the Australian standard of length, contact the Verifying Authority responsible for length measurements in your State or Territory. The calibration of the EDM Instrument has been carried out according to DNRM Work Instructions as described in the latest version of CBD.041230.LTOLE_EDME_Comparison_Procedure.
