The development of the MEL project is being led by the METRONET office, while the Public Transport Authority (PTA) of Western Australia is the projects formal proponent. For the purpose of this study, and at the request of the PTA, the PSI has been completed in two sections, known as Part 1 and Part 2. This report covers the Part 2 area referred to as the Malaga to Ellenbrook Rail Works. The main objective was to undertake a PSI to identify the presence of possible contaminating activities, as a result of both historical or current land use, that may have implications on the construction of the MEL project. The Scope of Works (SoW) consisted of three main elements: A broad desktop assessment of the study area; A targeted desktop assessment for selected areas within the study area; and Targeted site inspections within selected areas of the study area. A review of available information led to the creation of a Conceptual Site Model (CSM) for the study area, which found that the main land uses associated with the majority of known and potential sources of contamination across the study area were past water treatment and disposal (landfill) facilities, agriculture and road infrastructure. Another major risk identified was the potential for Acid Sulfate Soil (ASS) generation particularly considering the number of wetland areas throughout the study area. Secondary risks were associated with uncontrolled fill and fly tipping activities. The main exposure risks were identified as dermal contact, ingestion and vapour inhalation by current and future site users and workers and vertical and lateral flow of contaminated groundwater to groundwater users and surface water features such as wetlands. A number of management plans will be required to manage the identified risks during construction and a review of the results of upcoming site investigations at the former Gnangara Waste Facility should be undertaken when considering the appropriate management measures for groundwater during excavation and dewatering works associated with the construction of the new road bridge at the Gnangara Road and Drumpellier Drive intersection. A summary of the data gaps identified and the recommended actions to address them are presented in Table E-1 below. Table E-1: Identified data gaps and recommendations Site Data Gap Identified Recommendations Lexia Liquid Waste Disposal Site The full extent of waste material It is understood that further works (Landfill) Gnangara, located within has not been delineated and the are to be undertaken by GHD on reserve State Forest 65, Lexia WA soil contamination has not been behalf of DPLH.

  • P1368b-1370A Mr Paul Miles; Mr Dean Nalder GNANGARA ROAD
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 17 March 2016] p1368b-1370a Mr Paul Miles; Mr Dean Nalder GNANGARA ROAD — REALIGNMENT Grievance MR P.T. MILES (Wanneroo — Parliamentary Secretary) [9.50 am]: My grievance is to the Minister for Transport, Hon Dean Nalder, and refers to a very similar matter raised earlier by the member for Girrawheen. It is important that we put across what has happened in this particular area. As most people in the northern suburbs know, for some time Gnangara Road has been a major distributor road to the industrial estate. In 2014, when residents were becoming alarmed at some of the traffic build-up there, we, in conjunction with the City of Wanneroo, were able to have the road reclassified. The road now is once again a local road and it comes under the jurisdiction, in that sense, of the City of Wanneroo. The big concern for the little enclave in the northern part of the suburb of Madeley—which is in the southern part of my electorate and bounds the electorates of both the member for Girrawheen and the member for Kingsley—is the realignment of Gnangara Road, which has to happen. It is one of those issues that the local authority has left on the backburner, not by choice but because it is a road that has just worked and people have just gone about their business. However, it is very clear that as more homes have been built in that area, the little enclave has tripled in size, especially with the private estate and private roads that are being built alongside.
