Site Based Management Plan


      identifying authority and responsibility for implementing management measures during construction, operational and
      decommissioning stages of the development;
      nominating acceptable performance criteria for the measuring of impact levels and any sources from which the criteria
      may have been derived, including legislative requirements and government policies;
      describing courses of action and responsibilities (contingency plans) for responding to incidents of non-compliance
      and emergency events which may be detected or arise; and
      establishing procedures for monitoring and reporting.

Environmental Management Strategies set out the:
      environmental policy which provided the framework for the preparation of the SBMP;
      organisational and management structure; and
      environmental objectives/goals providing the basis for environmental management measures.

The SBMP has been developed for environmental elements that have been identified to pose a potential risk to the
surrounding environment in relation to the Site and Site activities. These environmental elements include:
      Stormwater, Erosion and Sediment Control
      Air Quality (Dust)
      Noise
      Hydrocarbon And Chemicals
      Waste
      Weeds
      Bushfire
      Landcare And Rehabilitation
      Cultural Heritage
      Emergency and Incident Management

The structure of the SBMP comprises a series of procedures for ease of implementation. The elements of the SBMP are
based on a standard format (that may be adapted for a particular issue or activity) as follows:
      Purpose
      Operational Policy
      Performance Targets
      Implementation Strategy/Mitigation Measures
      Monitoring
      Auditing and Review
      Reporting and Responsibility
      Identification of Incident or Failure to Comply
      Contingency Plans

Copies of reference documents for this operation such as the Development Approval issued in accordance with the
Environmental Protection Act 1994 (EP Act) and the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) conditions, shall be held in an
SBMP Documents Reference Folder along with any other relevant codes, protocols, work procedures, environmental
guidelines and action plans.

Monitoring records, inventories and registers of relevant items relating to this SBMP and Site operations will be included in
an SBMP Monitoring Records Folder. This may include items such as water monitoring records, air quality monitoring
records and public complaint record.

The SBMP shall provide the necessary basis for effective and efficient environmental management on the Site. It shall
direct the management of the Site and significant environmental issues by the implementation of “leading practice” industry
measures where appropriate.
