       Strategy:           To ensure all measures are taken to prevent unnecessary accidents involving
                           Employees or the public in the vicinity of the construction site and to minimise
                           nuisance to residents living around and adjacent to the construction site.

       Performance Requirement: All measures are taken to prevent unnecessary accidents involving
       Employees and the public in the vicinity of the construction site.

       Monitoring: Inspection of potential safety hazards should be ongoing, including the preparation and
       regular completion of a Site Safety Checklist to confirm reasonable health and safety precautions have
       been taken. Other amenity issues such as noise and dust are addressed in the respective Element.

       Reporting: Site Safety Checklist to be supplied to the Superintendent on a monthly basis.

       Corrective Action: Safety hazards identified during inspection and in the Site Safety Checklist to be
       addressed immediately. Amenity issues addressed by removing or mitigating the nuisance on a case-
       by-case basis. respective Element.

4.14 Element C.14: Acid Sulphate Soil Management
        Policy:            To ensure that in the event that Acid Sulphate Soils are encountered that they are
                           managed in an environmentally sustainable manner (Condition 91, State Planning
                           Policy)



       Strategy:           Identify any Acid Sulphate Soils which may be disturbed and develop appropriate
                           management plan to prevent or minimise any impacts associated with the
                           occurrence of Acid Sulphate Soils (ASS).

       Responsibility: Superintendent and Site Environmental Officer.

       Management Actions: These actions apply only to excavation or disturbance of material from below
       RL 5.0m AHD.

       Construction activities that have the potential for such disturbance relate mainly to the sewer
       construction. Procedures are to be as follows:
        1.    Refer Construction of 375mm diameter trunk sewer within park area - (refer approved
              engineering drawing as advised by Superintendent).
        2.    All material excavated from below RL 5.0m AHD shall be assumed to be potential acid sulphate
              soils and shall be treated accordingly.
        3.    Exposure of Potential Acid Sulphate Soils (PASS) to the atmosphere shall be minimized by
