Construction is inherently noisy and construction sites can get dusty. Some measures to minimise impacts on the surrounding area include:

• spraying water to suppress dust, and halting work in high winds if there is a risk of uncontrolled dust
• installing fencing with mesh barriers to reduce the spread of dust and stop local wildlife from accessing work areas
• establishing tree protection zones
• installing signage to safely guide pedestrians and cyclists
• maintaining consistent hours of work. Pending approval, we propose to work:
  • Monday to Friday, 7am – 5pm
  • Saturday hours as approved by Council.

We will notify neighbours if we need to work extra hours (with Council approval).

A site manager will be on duty during construction hours and their contact details will be on site signage.

Measures to minimise impacts on local traffic and parking include:

• ensuring all construction vehicles, including all contractors and subcontractors, park on site and avoid occupying street parking
• instructing truck drivers against idling on local roads
• directing vehicles to enter and exit the site in a forward direction to prevent blocking traffic
• traffic control to guide construction vehicles when entering and exiting the site, and keep pedestrians, cyclists and other road users safe
• distributing truck movements during the day to avoid peak hour traffic.

A Construction Traffic Management Plan will be in place before construction begins to detail traffic management.
