| Site Activities | Normal | Cultural Heritage | Disturbance Damage Removal of items of Cultural Heritage | Medium | Disturbance Damage Removal of items of Cultural Heritage | Prior to commencement of works at a site, items of heritage significance will be located and identified in the project specific Environmental Management Plan, so that construction practices may be modified to minimise disturbance to these items (e.g. where sandstone curb and gutter in a street is to be crossed, boring should be the means by which work is completed to minimise the risk of damage). If any items of relics of Aboringinal or European heritage significance are identified during the project work will cease immediately at that location. Ages Build Project Manager must be notified immediately who will notify the Principal to enable them to contact relevant authorities. Consultation with traditional owner groups and confirmation of required induction and monitoring is to be undertaken by the Principal. | Low | No | No |

| Site Activities | Normal | Energy Emissions | Noise | Medium | Noise from construction activities | Noise pollution shall be minimised by ensuring that the normal working hours of the contract or project are adhered to whenever possible. Working hours in accordance with specific conditions as specified by the nominated authorities No work shall be performed outside these hours unless approvals have been obtained from the client & or the local regulatory authorities. No audible work shall take place between the hours of 7.00am & 8.00am Saturdays. Local residents are to be advised of pending works in the area by means of a “letter box drop’ advising of possible noise disturbance. All plant & machinery used shall have the necessary silencing mechanisms filled & be in good working order. All requirements for the testing or monitoring of noise levels as specified by statutory authorities shall be performed in accordance with the required specifications & regulations Consideration shall be given during the design Process for placement of equipment where it may cause noise disturbance to the public / residents | Low | No | Yes |

| Site Activities | Abnormal | Discharge of Water | Storm Water Run Off | Medium | Storm Water Run Off | Only water of drinkable quality can be discharged into the drainage system. Contamination can be pre-existing & found at the site during works or be the result of spillages, inappropriate protective measures, accidents or other abnormal activity. Contaminated water can be recognised by: An irregular or unnatural colour is noticed A pungent smell is noticed A visibly peculiar texture (chemical slicks, cloudy) Any indicator of unusual water conditions are noticed Contaminated land can be recognised by: In irregular or unnatural colour is noticed A pungent smell is noticed A visibly peculiar texture (black tar, powdery texture) Ant indicator or unusual soil conditions are noticed | Low | No | Yes |

| Waste | Normal | Waste | Contaminated Soil | High | Contaminated soil from excavation entering waterways. | Project specific Environmental Management Plans Excavation only be undertaken when no heavy rainfall is predicted and footings are then to be poured as soon as possible to minimise the exposure time. Any excavated material shall be used to fill voids as appropriate. Stockpile locations of material to be approved by the Principal prior to placement. Correct methods for the disposal of waste. | Medium | Yes | Yes |
