Draft Environmental Assessment for Public Exhibition Homebush Bay Bridge l Environmental Assessment PART C Assessment of environmental impacts Chapter 7 l Environmental risk analysis 7 Environmental risk analysis This Chapter provides an overview of the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed bridge, and outlines the mitigation measures to be implemented to minimise these impacts. It specifically addresses the requirement of the Director General that the environmental assessment must include: ∕ An environmental risk analysis to identify potential environmental impacts associated with the project (construction and operation), proposed mitigation measures and potentially significant residual environmental impacts after the application of proposed mitigation measures. ∕ An appropriately detailed impact assessment of any additional key environmental impact that is identified through the environmental risk analysis. 7.1 Risk analysis approach The following methodology was used to identify and assess the potential environmental issues associated with construction and operation of the proposed bridge: ∕ Identify all relevant potential environmental impacts of the development, including the key issues outlined in the Director General’s requirements. ∕ Assess each of the potential environmental impacts using a risk assessment model, taking into consideration their likelihood and consequence. ∕ Outline potential mitigation measures to address the potential environmental impacts, and assess the likely residual environmental impacts after the mitigation measures are to be applied. The risk assessment model used to assess the potential environmental impacts is shown in Table 7.1. This model provides the basis for the detailed assessment of key environmental issues provided in this environmental assessment. Table 7.1 – Environmental risk assessment model Risk category Description A May have high or moderate impacts. Detailed assessment necessary to determine the level of potential impact and to develop appropriate measures to mitigate and manage the impacts. B May have high or moderate impacts. These can be mitigated by the application of standard environmental management measures. C Have low impacts. These can be managed by standard environmental management measures. 7.2 Risk analysis findings The results of the environmental risk analysis are summarised in the Table 7.2. The environmental assessment of the issues identified in this table are presented in Chapters 8 to 18.

  • Transport Vision3
    A People’s Vision for Transport and Access Southern Sydney and Wollongong Region We, the people of the southern Sydney and Wollongong region, have a vision of: An access and transport system that is ecologically sustainable and supports a healthy lifestyle, the aesthetic characteristics of neighbourhoods, and the economy of the region. We urge federal, state and local governments to work together with private transport providers and community representatives to design a comprehensive transport and access strategy that delivers the vision. This strategy should be formulated over the next twelve months with the aim of delivering its goals over the ensuing two decades. Such a strategy is essential in the face of Sydney’s continued population growth, the need to conserve remaining natural areas, the NSW Government’s “urban consolidation policy”, the health impacts and reduced urban amenity caused by the current dominance of car-based lifestyles, the economic and ecological dangers of continued reliance on high fossil fuel consumption, and the inequities built into current access modes. The strategy should contain the following elements: • Upgrade of existing heavy rail infrastructure. • Construction of new rail lines on major trunk routes. • Increased frequency of public transport availability. • Integrated fares, ticketing, timetabling and information systems for the whole public transport network. • Design of roads and intersections to give priority access to buses. • Provision of an integrated network of safe bicycle and pedestrian routes. • Increased facilities for bicycles at major centres and on public transport. • Consider land use and transport planning together. • Secure funding for the maintenance and upgrading of public transport systems.

  • Georges River Data Compilation EPS FINAL Sept 2010.Part 2
    7 FORESHORE EROSION AND STRUCTURES ASSESSMENT SMEC has assessed the severity of foreshore erosion and condition of existing foreshore structures through a series of field visits in late 2009. This section of the report presents summaries of erosion and foreshore erosion protection and stormwater structures on a site by site basis, assigning gradings of light, moderate or severe to the foreshore erosion, and condition assessments for seawalls as good, fair or poor. Management responses for each particular site are suggested. Locations of foreshore erosion and foreshore structure assessments are mapped and described in Appendix 2. Particular sites for management actions are prioritised based on a catchment wide basis, and on an LGA basis. Priorities for particular management actions at particular sites were based on a combination of cost and environmental benefit. 7.1 Introduction Some erosion occurs with various degrees of severity in various locations all along the Georges River foreshore. In general, most erosion occurs in the areas of the river underlain by Wianamatta Shales in the upper reaches while the lower reaches are located in sandstone or are highly urbanised and protected by seawalls. The study team visited the site over several days by land and boat to assess the severity of erosion and the seawall conditions along the Georges River foreshore. Foreshore erosion along the Georges River is generally due to factors such as boat waves, tidal undercutting, floods and stormwater runoff. Erosion was rated as being light, moderate or high/severe. Many seawalls have been constructed along the Georges River. Most of them are located in the lower reaches and all around Chipping Norton foreshore.
