MANAGING THE TRANSFORMATION

MANAGING LOCALISED IMPACTS

Storm water – flow and management

Sustainable storm water management focuses on reducing runoff intensity and improving water quality.

Our team will develop a sustainable storm water management approach that respects the local context and focusses on the protection and enhancement of the natural environment.

The storm water management approach is being prepared in coordination with the overall precinct planning. We will keep the community informed about the detail as it is prepared.

Site access and traffic management – in and around the site

We are working with expert trafﬁc consultants to prepare a detailed trafﬁc assessment that considers all potential impacts on roads during construction and when fully developed.

This includes assessing impacts on the local road network, public transport, cycling and walking paths.

The landowners will work closely with the NSW Government and Kiama Municipal Council to ensure site access and trafﬁc is carefully managed to mitigate any impact to the local community while optimising accessibility.

Quarry land fill and batter surface stabilisation

Remediating the quarry to ensure the land is rehabilitated and prepared for future community use is important to us.
