    Capital Metro Authority Capital Metro Russell Extension Project - Preliminary Environmental Assessment Figure 5.1 Non-Aboriginal heritage and historical archaeology site within the vicinity of the Russell Extension Project alignment Parsons Brinckerhoff | 2207509A-ENV-REP-008 RevB 43 Capital Metro Authority Capital Metro Russell Extension Project - Preliminary Environmental Assessment 5.2.3 Potential impacts Aboriginal heritage The proposed Russell Extension Project alignment has been assessed for its potential to include Aboriginal archaeological and cultural sites. The assessment found that it was unlikely for either archaeological or cultural sites to exist within or in relation to the proposed Russell Extension corridor. The proposed works would therefore not impact upon places of Aboriginal heritage values along this alignment. There are no further requirements for assessment of Aboriginal heritage values for the proposed Russell Extension Project. Adequate environmental management measures would be developed and implemented during the construction of the Project to manage potential impacts to any unexpected Aboriginal heritage item uncovered during construction. Non-Aboriginal heritage and historical archaeology The Project has the potential to have an impact on listed and nominated heritage places and objects along its route. Generally, this would comprise potential impacts on the setting of heritage places and objects, rather than direct impacts on their fabric. These impacts could arise from placing new elements, such as substations, within significant settings of heritage places, or by the stops and shelters or associated infrastructure blocking important views to heritage places along London Circuit, Constitution Avenue or Russell Drive. Overall, the approach taken to the design and development of the Russell Extension Project, based on a detailed understanding of the heritage values of the heritage places along the Project alignment, has contributed positively to an appropriate approach which minimise or avoids heritage impacts.
