Metropolitan Coal was granted approval for the Metropolitan Coal Project (the Project) under section 75J of the New South Wales (NSW) Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 (EP&A Act) on 22 June 2009. A copy of the Project Approval is available on the Peabody website (http://www.peabodyenergy.com). The Project comprises the continuation, upgrade and extension of underground coal mining operations and surface facilities at Metropolitan Coal. The underground mining longwall layout is shown on Figure 1. The extent of the mines Major Surface Facilities Area is shown on Figure 2. In March 2011, Metropolitan Coal submitted a Project Approval Modification Request to the NSW Minister for Planning & Infrastructure (now the Department of Planning and Environment [DP&E]) under Section 75W of the EP&A Act to modify the Project to allow for a combined limit for coal and coal reject truck movements and changes to the amount of product coal to be trucked off-site. The modification was approved by the Director-General (now Secretary) on 2 July 2011. In January 2016, Metropolitan Coal requested the DP&E confirm that the transport of coal reject material to the Lendlease Calderwood Urban Development Project near Albion Park would be generally in accordance with the Project Approval. In February 2016, the DP&E indicated that it supported the proposed sustainable and beneficial re-use of the coal reject and did not object to the trucking of coal reject to the Calderwood Urban Development Project on condition that the trucking is undertaken in accordance with the approved trucking limits and adheres to the current trucking route from the Major Surface Facilities Area to the Princes Motorway (Figure 3). In May 2018, Metropolitan Coal requested the DP&E confirm that the transport of coal reject material to urban developments in the Wollongong and Shellharbour Local Government Areas (LGAs) for beneficial reuse would be generally in accordance with the Project Approval. The DP&E (May 2018) indicated that it supports the additional sustainable and beneficial reuse of coal rejects in accordance with the approved trucking limits/trucking route conditions described above. In October 2018, Metropolitan Coal requested the DP&E confirm that the transport of product coal to the Manildra Group’s flour mill in Nowra (Figure 3) would be generally in accordance with the Project Approval. In December 2018, DP&E indicated that the transport of product coal to the Manildra Group’s flour mill in Nowra is generally in accordance with the Project Approval, given the product coal trucking movements would occur instead of trucking product coal to the Coalcliff Cokeworks which is permitted under Condition 19(e) of Schedule 4 of the Project Approval. 1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE This Traffic Management Plan (TMP) has been prepared for the Project in accordance with Condition 22, Schedule 4 of the Project Approval. The primary aim of the TMP is to minimise the traffic impacts of the Project on the residential areas and schools within Helensburgh. The relationship of this TMP to the Metropolitan Coal Environmental Management Structure is shown on Figure 4. Section 3.1 outlines other Approval Conditions of relevance to the TMP. This includes a requirement to conduct a Road Safety Audit of the Mine Access Road and Parkes Street intersection in accordance with Condition 17, Schedule 4 of the Project Approval. The Road Safety Audit is described in Section 8.1. Metropolitan Coal is required to implement the Road Safety Audit recommendations to the satisfaction of the Secretary.

    SYDNEY BASIN VISUAL PILOT GUIDE 2010 VISUAL PILOT GUIDE 2010 SYDNEY VPG 2010.indd 1 12/14/10 9:22 AM CASA’S VISUAL PILOT GUIDES – the pilot’s must have As a visual pilot, you are encouraged to use this visual pilot guide (VPG) for planning flights in the class D and non-towered environment. In doing this, you will join thousands of pilots who have benefited from the information these guides provide. Since the VPGs were introduced in 1998, they have become an integral part of the visual pilot’s flight bag. Originally developed in response to the rising number of violations of controlled airspace in the Brisbane area, their popularity grew to the point that CASA decided to produce them for all the former GAAP aerodromes. They undergo a process of continual improvement made possible only through feedback from industry, and the dedication of a number of industry participants. The VPGs are a must-have item for any pilot wishing to fly into or out of the featured aerodromes. NOTE: The information contained in this guide was correct at the time of publishing, and is subject to change without notice. CASA makes no representation as to its accuracy. It has been prepared by CASA Safety Promotion for information purposes only. Plan your route thoroughly, and carry current charts and documents. Always check ERSA, NOTAMs, and the weather, BEFORE you fly. The VPGs do not replace current operational maps and charts. © 2010 Civil Aviation Safety Authority Australia The Visual Pilot Guide (VPG) is an aid for pilots to use when flying into, out of and around Sydney aerodromes.

  • F6 Extension Stage 1
    F6 Extension Stage 1 Submission from the Illawarra Business Chamber to Roads and Maritime Services Illawarra Business Chamber Level 1, 87-89 Market Street Wollongong NSW 2500 (p) (02) 4229 4722 (e) [email protected] 27 July 2018 F6 Extension Stage 1 2 Summary The Illawarra Business Chamber (IBC) welcomes the NSW Government’s commitment to commence Stage 1 works of the F6 Extension and the opportunity to provide feedback on this proposal. The IBC recognises that this consultation is focussed on the intended planning and delivery of Stage 1. Even so, this submission will highlight the benefits to be realised through bringing forward the planning and projected delivery of Stage 2 and Stage 3 works, and discuss the findings and projections detailed in the report Upgrading Road Connectivity Between the Illawarra and Greater Sydney (May 2018) commissioned by Illawarra First together with the NRMA and conducted by Veitch Lister Consulting (VLC), which in part addresses the F6 Extension. Key Findings The IBC notes the significant benefits to be realised through advancing the timings for the complete F6 Extension, in addition to concurrent infrastructure works. Key findings of this submission, consistent with the aforementioned report, highlight the need for government to consider the F6 project in its entirety, and as complementing other works: - Key Finding 1 Without intervention, congestion and travel times from the Illawarra to Greater Sydney will steadily increase and the cost of delays is estimated at $640 million per annum by 2031, impacting business and employment opportunities. - Key Finding 2 The F6 Extension Stage 1 will save commuters 6 minutes along the length of the new road, 12 minutes once Stages 2 and 3 are complete.
