c. Project Planning

System and Procedures:

The Project Manager, is responsible for the development and implementation of all management systems for the project including this project specific CEMP. The Project Manager and his team will review the effectiveness of the system on a weekly basis, all project safety and environmental issues will be reviewed in order to keep the document updated and effective. The Project Manager will review the management plan to accommodate any changes to the project conditions which may have an effect on the effectiveness of the CEMP. Any changes to the project by the client or by virtue of latent conditions, safety considerations or environmental considerations will be reviewed and actioned. When a non-conformance or incident is detected, it shall be addressed according to the Hansen Yuncken Management procedure. The corrective action and methodology of improvement to prevent the reoccurrence of a non-conformance/incident is also covered in the Hansen Yuncken CEMP. Strategy:

The CEMP is to be implemented from site establishment through to demobilisation. The day-to-day onsite management of the CEMP will be by the Hansen Yuncken Site Team, led by the Site Manager. The Site team will be responsible for:

Environmental protection apparatus being correctly installed and or maintained ready for use in case of emergency

Site inductions, environmental & safety meetings

Production, review and approval of work method statements and

Waste Management plans

Monitoring adherence to Waste Management plans as per Head Contract

Monitoring inspection and testing methods and records

Implementing Project Quality, Environmental and Safety plans

Monthly reporting of progress

d. Project programme and construction phases

The following tables detail the construction phases and anticipated durations of each phase. And which phases require environmental management monitoring and reporting (EMMR):

Phase Duration EMM&R

Site Establishment 2 weeks Required throughout the duration of this phase

Import and place fill 27 weeks Required throughout the duration of this phase

Stormwater and drainage works 12 weeks Required throughout the duration of this phase

Internal estate road 10 weeks Required though out the duration of this phase

Internal reticulation works 16 weeks Required throughout the duration of this phase


NOVEMBER 2016

EMM&R will be carried out by Hansen Yuncken throughout all phases of construction up to the handover of the estate. After the handover of the estate EMM&R is no longer the responsibility of Hansen Yuncken and the Developer will be responsible for the Operational Environmental Management Plan (OEMP). Inspections:

The importance that Hansen Yuncken places on the environmental aspect of its business is shown by the constant inspection program it puts its sites through. Environmental inspections will occur at least once a week on every site. Three (3) monthly inspections will be conducted by the Environment Manager. At least weekly, the site environmental officer will conduct basic site inspection. This inspection will also be done after intense or prolonged inclement weather (i.e. rain for a longer period than 2 Days or in excess of 20mm rain), during the course of the week. The site manager will be provided with the outcomes and action items arising from the weekly environmental inspections. The site manager will then update the project team of any specific issues at the weekly tool box session and monitor the implementation of action items. Internal Audits:

Internal audits will be conducted on all project activities as well as company nominated activities to provide a further review process for the effective management of this project and the management systems generally. The following project elements will be audited at the times indicated:

Project Safety Plan – (at least twice over the course of the project)

Project Quality Plan – (month 2 and every 3rd month thereafter until end of project)

Project Environmental Plan – (system audits every 3 months). Reports of all audits conducted on the project shall be distributed to the following:

Code (where applicable). All works fall under the required Construction Certificates (as applicable) issued by the Certifying Authority.

i. Aboriginal Heritage

As part of their Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Report dated 13th January 2016, Biosis recommended that further testing in the form of Salvage Excavation be undertaken within the site referred to as MWP-AD3. As a requirement in the Development Consent – the Department of Planning & Environment imposed the following Conditions: Aboriginal Heritage C45: Prior to the commencement of earthworks, the Applicant shall register the MWP-AD3 site on the OEH’s Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System (AHIMS) Aboriginal Sites Register. The MWP-AD3 Site has been registered on the OEH’s Aboriginal Heritage Information System (AHIMS) Aboriginal Site Register as Site No. 45-4-4720 C46. The Applicant shall prepare an Aboriginal Salvage Strategy for the Development to ensure appropriate salvage of the Mamre West Precinct Archaeological Deposit 3 (MWP-AD3) site. The plan shall form part of the CEMP and shall:

a) Include measures to ensure that Lot 5 of the subdivision is clearly delineated with appropriate fencing/bunding to prevent any impact upon MWP-AD3; and

An Aboriginal Salvage Strategy has been prepared by Biosis (Appendix B) which outlines the methodology of the sub-surface excavations to obtain further information on identified site. Section 2.5 of this Report outlines the specific sampling strategy which is to be undertaken for the Salvage works. Section 2.7 outlines the Reporting requirements to be submitted following the excavation works – which will be submitted to the Registered Aboriginal Parties (RAPs) and the OEH as per the requirements of the report. Hansen Yuncken will clearly delineate the area surrounding MWP-AD3 with bunting to ensure that no workers or machinery enters this area. This will ensure that the site will not be impacted until works within the Aboriginal Salvage Strategy have been completed. The bunting will remain until confirmation is received from Biosis that the final report has been submitted to OEH and the RAPs (see point B below).

b) detail the excavation and salvage strategy in consultation with OEH (Aboriginal Heritage) and all relevant Aboriginal stakeholders prior to construction of any part of the Development.

Following the completion of the sub-surface salvage works (which will be undertaken in consultation with the RAPs) – Biosis will submit a final report to the OEH & RAPs detailing the results of the excavations and post excavation analysis, a discussion on the date and management recommendations if appropriate. No works will commence in the vicinity of MWP-AD3 until this Final Report has been submitted to OEH and it is the responsibility of Hansen Yuncken to ensure the bunting remains in-place until this occurs.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL

a. Unexpected Finds Protocol (Contamination)

Any contamination encountered is to be contained on site, assessed and dealt with as per authority instruction and relevant legislation. Unexpected finds include: Asbestos

More than 10 m2 of bonded asbestos observed on or below the ground surface (e.g. asbestos piping or conduit)4; and

Suspected friable asbestos on the ground surface. Any bonded asbestos encountered that totals less than 10m2 will still require removal, but will not require the use of licensed bonded asbestos removal contactor. Buried Structures

In the unlikely event that buried structures such as Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) are encountered during site works, the structure(s) and any associated pipe-work should be managed / removed in accordance with the Unexpected Finds Protocol figure below. Volatile Contaminants

In the unlikely event that significant quantities of volatile compounds are detected, then appropriate gas mitigation strategies may be required as per ANZECC (1999) Guidelines for the Assessment of On-site Containment of Contaminated Soil. If volatile contaminants are detected, the nature and extent of the impacts of the volatile contaminants should be established as a first step before an appropriate remedial strategy is to be established. If feasible the source material should be removed for off-site disposal. (Refer to the Unexpected Finds Protocol figure below). As a precautionary measure to ensure the protection of site workers and contractors and the site workers and occupants of nearby land, should an unexpected find be encountered (or any other unexpected potentially hazardous substance), the procedure summarised in the below figure is to be followed:

UNEXPECTED FINDS PROTOCOL:


NOVEMBER 2016

10 | P a g e

b. Flora and Fauna

Flora and Fauna on the site will be managed as per the recommendations in the Biodiversity Assessment Report by Ecoplanning dated 10 March 2016: 5.3.2 Pre-clearance protocols On-site supervision of habitat tree felling and relocation of fauna

An ecologist will be required to be present onsite when felling habitat trees (hollow bearing and/or stag trees). Hollows should be inspected from an elevated work platform or cameras mounted to telescopic poles, prior to felling operations. Any fauna occupying a hollow during felling operations will be relocated (where feasible) to bushland immediately adjacent to the site. The ecologist will need to work closely with the plant operators to identify each hollow and to stop work if an animal is observed and requires rescue. The ecologist will encourage any fauna species that may be present to move from site or if considered necessary capture, store and actively relocate them to another area. All habitat trees should be left over night to give species that are not possible to handle, further opportunity to relocate. Advice on appropriate actions for individuals that continue to utilise habitat of trees should be provided by the onsite ecologist. Any variation to this protocol must be approved by onsite ecologist. The ecologist will ensure that any injured animals receive the appropriate levels of care. The nearest veterinary clinics should be contacted prior to the works beginning to ensure that they have the capabilities to care for injured native animals. Qualified wildlife carer organisations (e.g. WIRES) should also be identified and contacted if required. Soft felling operations

Soft felling of hollow bearing trees is encouraged to avoid unnecessary injuries to undetected fauna. This process involves an excavator or bulldozer softly ‘nudging’ trees before felling, in order to encourage any fauna that may be occupying a hollow or crevice to vacate the tree prior to being felled. Once the tree has been felled, the ecologist will undertake further searches of the tree for any animal that has not fled or is unable to flee. As above, fauna will be relocated to bushland adjacent to the site, or if required, veterinary clinics and/or qualified wildlife carers contacted.

c. Sedimentation and erosion control

Due to the extent of the proposed bulk earthworks at 585-649 Mamre Road, Orchard Hills, the Contractor will be required to manage the volume of sedimentation created as a result of construction-associated works and avoid sedimentation entering the local stormwater system. Sedimentation control will be measured by:

Visual inspection of the sedimentation control measures utilised and the volume of silt trapped.

Regular audits conducted by the Contractor of the sedimentation control procedures and practices.


NOVEMBER 2016

11 | P a g e

To reduce the environmental effects of erosion and sedimentation the following measures will be utilised by the Contractor (or the respective sub-contractor):

Silt fences are to be placed around the perimeter of the work area.

Sand, hay bales or gravel bags require being used to protect inlets and direct flow.

Sediment collected on silt fences or around sandbags will be disposed within site landscaping or in other suitable locations.

Vehicles must enter and leave the site on the access driveway to limit the tracking of mud and/or soil on to public roads.

Muddy or dirty vehicles must go through the site washout bay before leaving site to limit the tracking of mud and/or soil on to public roads.

Preserve as much grassed or vegetated area as possible to filter sedimentation from stormwater runoff.

All soil, sand and cement stockpiles should be placed wholly on the construction site and behind a sediment barrier. These stockpiles should also be covered at the end of each day if rain or excessive wind is likely.

Activities that generate surplus wastewater with sediment (such as masonry cutting) must only be carried out on site. This wastewater should be recycled or discharged into a contained area for drying by soakage.

Should dirt and/or mud traffic onto public roads and footpaths, site staff must sweep rather than hose off the sediment.

Undertake dewatering of trenches, excavations (etc.) when necessary, ensuring that the water is taken away from site and disposed at a location approved by the EPA and/or relevant authorities. This water cannot be deposited into the local stormwater system.

d. Dust Control Plan (DCP)

On site air quality and dust management is the responsibility of Hansen Yuncken site manager. Dust minimisation techniques are to be employed as needed during construction, including the use of water carts as necessary. Air quality is to be managed through the proper maintenance of all machinery on site. In line with section 129 of the PEO Act 1997, odour reporting is encouraged and outlined in the site induction process. The DCP will aim to minimise the amount of dust generated, reduce the nuisance that dust may cause to the community and site personnel and ensure the dust is controlled in accordance with the EPA guidelines so as to minimise the impact on air quality. To ensure that all site personnel adequately control the creation and spread of dust, the Contractor may monitor the site workers by:

Visually viewing site works and utilising digital photos to record and witness dust control procedures during random site inspections.

Undertaking audits on a regular basis to review dust control procedures and practices.

Reporting on a monthly basis to the Project Control Group. Such reports to include: o Relevant Trade Contractor reports for the period. o Other Important information / events that generated dust and how it was

controlled (if not covered by the Trade Contractor reports). o Overall assessment of dust control practices and procedures for the month.


NOVEMBER 2016

12 | P a g e

During dry conditions, on-site construction activities have the potential to generate dust. The following activities are those identified as a specific potential source of dust generation:

Earthmoving activities including clearing of topsoil;

Movement of vehicles and construction machinery;

Stockpiling of materials; and

Build-up of material around erosion and sedimentation controls.

To reduce the environmental nuisance of dust generation, Trade Contractor’s and site staff should implement the following measures:

In the event of dust levels on site becoming a nuisance or unacceptable, introduce controls such as ground watering.

Cover trucks transporting material from the site immediately after loading to prevent wind-blown dust.

Where or whenever necessary, erect appropriate barriers to control dust generated as a result of construction-associated works.

e. Noise Control Measures

Noise impacts from construction are an ongoing concern for all construction projects. Construction noise management will be in accordance with the Development Application and will be the responsibility of the Site Manager to enforce. Noise Controls measures which will be implemented onsite during construction consist of the following:

Construction on the site will only be undertaken between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday, and 8am and 1pm on Saturdays (as per the Development Consent). No construction will be allowed on site on Sundays or public holidays. The following specific measures are proposed throughout the construction and operation phase:

Prompt response to any community issues of concern;

Refinement of onsite noise mitigation measures and plant operating procedures where practical.

For equipment with enclosures (i.e. compressor rooms) ensure door and seals are well maintained and kept closed when not in use.

Keep plant and equipment well maintained, regular inspection and maintenance of equipment to ensure it is good working order.

Equipment not to be operated until it is maintained or repaired.

Regularly train workers (i.e. toolbox talks) to use equipment in ways to minimise noise.

Operate mobile plant in a quiet, efficient manner.

Switching off vehicles and plant when not in use.

Incorporate clear signage at the site including relevant contact numbers for community enquiries.

The Site is generally located in amongst open fields and rural residential holdings however the Contractor will ensure construction noise impacts from the site are managed so as to minimise the disturbance to surrounding property owners, in accordance with EPA guidelines.


NOVEMBER 2016

13 | P a g e

f. Water Management Control Plan

The Contractor is to implement water-saving practices and technologies to ensure on-site water consumption is minimised. This will be monitored through visual inspection by the Contractor to ensure measures are being actively utilised by sub-contractors. To ensure that all site personnel adequately control the consumption of water, the Contractor will monitor site staff by:

Visually viewing site works and utilising digital photos to record and witness water management procedures during random site inspections.

Undertaking audits on a regular basis to review water control procedures and practices.

Reporting on a monthly basis to the Project Control Group. Such reports to include: o Relevant Trade Contractor reports for the period. o Other Important information / events that reduced water consumption (if not

covered by the Trade Contractor reports). o Overall assessment of water management practices and procedures for the

month.

To increase the environmental benefits of reducing water consumption and recycling water, the following measures should be undertaken by the Contractor and sub-contractors as a minimum during the construction works:

Introduce waterless urinals to the site amenities.

Educate site workers about water consumption and simple measures to save water (e.g. utilise collected rainwater for cleaning equipment, ensure taps are not left running etc.)

g. Waste Management Control Plan

In order to reduce onsite waste during the construction process due to waste water recycling and re-use practices plus to minimise the project’s contribution to landfill, the Contractor implement an assessment strategy which measures the volume of materials recycled, re-used or taken to landfill and carry out inspections to ensure waste management procedures are being implemented by site staff. To ensure that all site personnel adequately control waste, the Contractor will monitor site staff by:

Visually viewing site works and utilising digital photos to record and witness waste management procedures during random site inspections.

Undertaking audits on a regular basis to review waste management procedures and practices.

Reporting on a monthly basis to the Project Control Group.

To increase the environmental benefits of reducing waste, the following measures should be undertaken by the Contractor and site staff:

Separate waste generated during the construction process into the appropriate recycling containers / bins provided.

Return unnecessary and/or unwanted packaging back to the supplier so as they become aware that such packaging is not required.

Promote participation in local and state authority waste reduction policies.

Waste Avoidance Measures:


NOVEMBER 2016

14 | P a g e

The Construction Site Manager will identify opportunities for waste avoidance by:

Minimising site disturbance and eliminating unnecessary excavation;

Stripping topsoil from areas subject to excavation and storing it on site for re-use;

Selecting construction materials taking into consideration to their long lifespan and potential for reuse;

Identifying likely waste amounts generated and incorporating these volumes into a purchasing policy so that the correct quantities are purchased;

Ordering materials to size and ordering pre-cut and prefabricated materials;

Reuse of formwork (where possible);

Planned work staging and delivery arrangements of materials so materials are delivered as needed;

Co-ordination and sequencing of various trades;

Careful on-site storage and source separation;

Ensuring that separated materials are kept uncontaminated to guarantee the highest possible reuse value; and

Subcontractors informed of site waste management procedures.

The following procedures are to be implemented:

Appropriate sorting and segregation of site preparatory and construction wastes to ensure efficient reuse and recycling of wastes;

Concrete, tiles (where applicable) and bricks will be reused or recycled off-site;

Steel will be recycled off-site; all other metals will be recycled where economically viable;

Framing timber will be reused on-site or recycled off-site;

Windows, doors and joinery will be recycled off-site (where possible);

Waste oil will be recycled or disposed of in an appropriate manner;

All used crates will be stored for reuse unless damaged;

All glass that can be economically recycling will be;

All solid waste timber, brick, concrete, rock that cannot be reused or recycled will be taken to an appropriate landfill site and disposed of in an approved manner;

All asbestos, hazardous and/or intractable wastes are to be disposed of in accordance with WorkCover Authority and EPA requirements;

Provision for the collection of batteries and other recyclable resources will be provided on site;

Beverage container and paper/cardboard recycling will be provided on-site for employee use or these items will be sorted recycling at an appropriately licensed facility;

All garbage will be disposed of via a council approved system;

Wash-down of equipment / plant / machinery and concrete delivery trucks will occur within a specified, appropriately bunded bay (or concrete delivery trucks will return to the batching plant before washing out). Liquid waste is often produced from the washing down of plant and apparatus. There may be a local sewer that this waste water can be connected to; alternatively, this could be transferred into a localised waste water treatment facility or plant;

Refuelling activities will be undertaken in designated areas with appropriate spill containment measures to avoid overspill to sensitive areas; and


NOVEMBER 2016

15 | P a g e

Portable, self-contained toilet and washroom facilities will be provided at the site ensuring these units are regularly emptied and serviced by a suitably licensed contractor.

not obscure the driver’s view of other signs or other traffic; and

not be a hazard to workers, pedestrians or other road users.

4.3 Existing Signs

Any existing signs that do not apply shall be covered.

5 PEDESTRIAN PATHS

Existing paths shall be safe and at least 1.2 metres wide free of any obstruction to pedestrians.

6 MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING TRAFFIC FLOW

Existing traffic flows shall be maintained and only modified for short periods when other alternatives have been exhausted.

7 ROAD TEMPORARY SIGNAGE & TRAFFIC CONTROLS

The access points into the project will be indicated on a Traffic Control Plan along with Traffic Control Devices which will be put in place for the duration of the project. Temporary Traffic controls will take place from time to time to bring in long or wide loads via Mamre Road entry such as Structural Steel and Roof Sheeting.

7.1 Site Access

The main entrance and exit at the site shall be from Mamre Road, via a temporary drive way formed

to access the site. This access will remain in place until completion of the internal estate road and

intersection works to Mamre Road. The location of this entry and exit will ease any potential

congestion of trucks exiting the site onto public roads.

Warning signs will be placed along Mamre Road in both directions at approximately 150m from the

Mamre Site entry.

An alternative entry includes the modification of the existing median strip to enable a right turn

from Mamre Road into the site. This will be controlled with temporary traffic lights as per the

attached traffic control plan prepared by Altus Traffic. This alternative entry will only be used when

all other entries have been exhausted.

7.1.1 Entering Site

All vehicle drivers/operators are to enter the site compound in a slow and controlled manner. The

drivers/operators are to observe the road regulations and give way to all passing traffic and

pedestrians. Upon visual confirmation that all traffic and pedestrians have passed, the

drivers/operators shall slowly proceed to enter the site. In instances when onsite production is

slowed down, the trucks will enter and safely park on site until it is unloaded.



NOVEMBER 2016

6

7.1.2 Exiting Site

All vehicle drivers/operators are to come to a complete stop at the site gate before exiting the site

compound. The drivers/operators are to observe the road regulations and give way to all passing

traffic and pedestrians. Upon visual confirmation that all traffic and pedestrians have passed, the

driver/operator is to slowly proceed on to the roadway.

7.1.3 Truck Routes

The import fill will be transported from various source sites via main roads and arterial roads such

as:

Western Sydney Motorway (M4)

Westlink (M7)

Mamre Road

Erskine Park Road

Elizabeth Drive

7.1.4 Hours of Operation

The proposed hours of onsite operation are:

Monday to Friday 7:00am to 6:00pm

Saturday 8:00am to 1:00pm

Sunday and Public Holidays No work

7.2 Traffic Management Report

Whilst traffic management is in operation, the traffic controller shall complete a Traffic

Management Report daily and provide a copy to the Site Manager.

8 SPECIAL DELIVERIES

Any trucks that contain long or wide loads with additional RMS requirements will have specific

traffic management in place to control traffic on Mamre Road.

9 IMPORT FILL DELIVERY DETAILS

Import fill material will be sourced from a number of local sites to ease traffic congestion. The

deliveries will consist of truck and trailer carting approximately 14M³. Our anticipated delivery

quantity is 40 trucks per hour during the early phase of the import fill activity.

10 DRIVER CODE OF CONDUCT

10.1 General Requirements

Construction vehicle drivers travelling to and from the Site must:



NOVEMBER 2016

7

i) Have undertaken a Site Induction carried out by an approved member of Hansen

Yuncken or suitably qualified person under the direction of the HY management;

ii) Hold a valid driver’s licence for the class of vehicle that you operate;

iii) Operate the vehicle in a safe manner within and external to the Site;

iv) Comply with the direction of authorised site personnel when within the site;

10.2 Vehicle Speed

Increased speed means not only an increased risk of crashing but also increased severity if a crash

occurs.

There are two types of speeding:

i) Where a heavy vehicle travels faster than the posted speed limit; and

ii) Where a driver travels within the speed limit but because of road conditions (e.g.

fog or rain) this speed is inappropriate.

Drivers are to observe the posted speed limits, with speed adjusted appropriately to suit the road

environment and prevailing weather conditions, to comply with the Australian Road Rules. The

vehicle speed must be appropriate to ensure the safe movements of the vehicle based on the

vehicle configuration.

10.3 Heavy Vehicles & Driver Fatigue

Fatigue is one of the biggest causes of crashes for heavy vehicle drivers. The Heavy Vehicle Driver

Fatigue Reform was therefore developed by the National Transport Commission (NTC) and

approved by Ministers from all States and Territories in February 2007.

The heavy vehicle driver fatigue law commenced in NSW on 28 September 2008 and applies to

trucks and truck combinations over 12 tonne GVM (however there are Ministerial Exemption

Notices that can apply).

Under the law, industry has the choice of operating under three fatigue management schemes:

i) Standard Hours of Operation

ii) Basic Fatigue Management (BFM)

iii) Advanced Fatigue Management (AFM)

All heavy vehicle drivers operating during construction of the Site are to be aware of their adopted

fatigue management scheme and operate within its requirements.

10.4 Heavy Vehicle Compression Braking

Compression braking by heavy vehicles is a source of irritation to the community generating many

complaints especially at night when many residents are especially sensitive to noise.



NOVEMBER 2016

8

In some instances, compression braking is required for safety reasons however when passing

through or adjacent to residential areas or isolated farmsteads a reduction in the speed of the

vehicle is recommended to reduce the instances and severity of compression braking.

No compression braking on Mamre Road between the M4 and James Erskine or directly adjacent

other residential areas or isolated residences unless required for safety reasons. Brakes must be

applied so as not to create excessive noise that could disturb local residents.

10.5 Load Covering

Loose material on the road surface has the potential to cause road crashes and vehicle damage.

All trucks and construction vehicles arriving at or departing from the site whether loaded with

material or not are required to have an effective cover over their load for the duration of the trip.

The load cover may be removed upon arrival at the delivery site.

All care is to be taken to ensure that all loose debris from the vehicle body and wheels is removed

prior to leaving the site and again after unloading.

Drivers must ensure that following tipping that the tailgate is locked before leaving the site.

10.6 Breakdowns & Incidents

In the case of a breakdown, the vehicle must be towed to the nearest breakdown point as soon as

possible. All breakdowns must be reported to Site Management and the vehicle protected in

accordance with the Heavy Vehicle Drivers handbook.

If there is a product spill while loading/unloading or enroute the driver must:

i) Immediately warn persons in the area who may be at risk;

ii) The Site Foreman must be immediately informed so that emergency services can be

contacted and a clean-up initiated;

iii) All spills must be adequately cleaned up and waste disposed of in an acceptable and

environmental manner;

iv) Put out warning triangles where it is safe to do so.

Drivers are to ensure that when passing pedestrians/cyclists a safe separation distance exists

between trucks and pedestrians as well as a reduction in speed if appropriate.

1 Introduction

1.1 Project background

Biosis Pty Ltd has been commissioned by City Plan Services on behalf of Altis Property Partners (the

proponent) to undertake Aboriginal cultural heritage consultancy services for the proposed rezoning of the

Mamre West Precinct (the Project Area) and the area subject to a State Significant Development (SSD) (SSD

Application Area) at Mamre Road, Orchard Hills, New South Wales (NSW) (Figure 1). The Aboriginal cultural

heritage consultancy services for the proposed rezoning of the Mamre West Precinct and the SSD application

are being undertaken concurrently to expedite this process.

An Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Report (ACHAR) has been undertaken to assess the potential of

areas within the Project Area for rezoning and to assess the proposed SSD application in regards to Aboriginal

heritage within the SSD Application Area (Figure 2). This included undertaking test excavations within areas of

potential within the SSD Application Area which resulted in the three newly identified Aboriginal sites

including Mamre West Precinct Archaeological Deposit 1 (MWP-AD1), Mamre West Precinct Archaeological

Deposit 2 (MWP-AD2), Mamre West Precinct Archaeological Deposit 3 (MWP-AD3), and Mamre West Precinct

Archaeological Deposit 4 (MWP-AD4). The ACHAR recommended that further archaeological investigation in

the form of salvage excavation be conducted for site MWP-AD3 following SSD Approval. The salvage

methodology will be conducted in accordance with the conditions of the SSD approval.

1.2 Location of the Project Area and SSD Application Area

The Project Area is located within the suburb of Orchard Hills, Penrith City Council Local Government Area

(LGA), Parish of Melville, County of Cumberland (Figure 1). It is bounded by South Creek to the west, Mamre

Road to the east, a Sydney Water Pipeline to the south and an unnamed creek line to the north, and

incorporates Lots 201 – 216 DP 1013539. Lot 90 DP 752041, Lot 1 DP 1117416, Lots 2171 and 2172 DP

1153854, and Lot 1 DP 229770 (Figure 2).

The SSD Application Area comprises 48 hectares owned by Altis Property Partners and is located within the

south-east portion of the Project Area at 585-649 Mamre Road. It is bounded by Mamre Road to the east and

a Sydney Water pipeline to the south. It covers Lot 2171, DP 1153834 (Figure 2), and was subject to test

excavation by Biosis in Novemeber and December 2015.

1.3 Planning approvals

The proponent will require the precinct planning (rezoning) to occur prior to an application for an SSD being

made for the SSD Application Area. The final ACHAR report formed a part of the documents provided to the

Minister (Department of Planning & Environment) and provided information on areas of significance within

the Precinct. Additionally the report was used by the proponent as part of their SSD application and

accompanying Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the SSD Application Area at 585-649 Mamre Road,

Orchard Hills. As such, the EIS for the development must meet the form and content requirements in clauses

6 and 7 of Schedule 2 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000.

Other relevant legislation and planning instruments that will inform this assessment include:

Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW)

2 Salvage excavation methodology

2.1 Background

As part of the current assessment, a survey of the Project Area was undertaken by Biosis and a representative

of the Deerubbin Local Aboriginal Land Council on 21 August 2015. During the survey, the location of a

previously recorded Aboriginal site (#45-5-4138) was inspected to determine its current condition. This site

was identified by Artefact Heritage in 2011 as a part of the survey for the Mamre Road/ Erskine Park Road

intersection upgrade, located to the immediate east of the Project Area. The site is located on the western

verge of Mamre Park Road, placing it within 5 metres of the Project Area boundary. The isolated artefact

could not be relocated during the present survey, however the location of the site was determined to be

within the road reserve and not within the Project Area.

A newly identified artefact scatter, Mamre West Precinct Artefact Scatter 1 (MWP AS1), containing 11 artefacts

was recorded in the northern extent of the Project Area during the survey. The site is located within a large

area of exposure, a disused drainage channel associated with a small dam to the immediate north of site. The

site measures approximately 20 metres in length by approximately 6 metres in width. The southern extent of

the site contains some disturbance associated with the construction of the top of the concrete drain as well as

the construction of the dam wall in the north.

Areas assessed as having high, moderate and low archaeological potential were identified during the survey

(Figure 3). Areas of high archaeological potential are focused upon rises in the alluvial plain landform where

visibility was low, and there appeared to be minimal disturbance on the surface. Areas of low archaeological

potential were identified based upon those areas containing disturbance, such as residential houses and

associated buildings, road and vehicle tracks, as well as sheds, stock yards and horse runs, and a transmission

line. Areas of moderate potential were assessed as those areas not exhibiting any disturbance on the surface

and located within the lower areas of the alluvial plain landform, including waterlogged areas which were

fairly low lying and marshy. Elevated areas within the alluvial plain landform were considered to have high

archaeological potential based upon the predictive model formulated in the ACHAR.

Further investigation for areas of archaeological potential in the form of archaeological test excavations were

required prior to any development occurring within this area. Test excavations were conducted for areas of

archaeological potential within the SSD Application Area by Biosis in November and December 2015, due to

the proposed impacts taking place within this area. This resulted in the four newly identified Aboriginal sites

including MWP-AD1, MWP-AD2, MWP-AD3 and MWP-AD4. The ACHAR recommended that further

archaeological investigation in the form of salvage excavation be conducted for site MWP-AD3 following SSD

Approval to recover sub-surface artefacts which will be impacted as a part of the proposed development. This

would be able to provide further information relating to the artefacts typology and material type, as well as

the nature of the activities taking place at MWP-AD3.

2.2 Justification for excavation

It is proposed that sub-surface salvage investigation be conducted for Aboriginal site MWP-AD3 following SSD

Approval in order to recover sub-surface artefacts which will be impacted as a part of the proposed

development (Figure 3). This would be able to provide further information relating to the artefacts typology

and material type, as well as the nature of the activities taking place at MWP-AD3.

The archaeological test excavations conducted by Biosis in November and December 2015 resulted in four

newly identified Aboriginal sites, MWP-AD1, MWP-AD2, MWP-AD3 and MWP-AD4 and a total of 78 artefacts

recovered across these four sites. Following the artefact analysis and comparison with similar sites within the

local area, it was assessed that sites MWP-AD1, MWP-AD2 and MWP-AD4 are common occurrence site types

within the local area. On the other hand, elements of the assemblage recovered from MWP-AD3 were

different to the other three sites, and other sites in the local area.

MWP-AD3 is located within an elevated levee bank south of a small stream channel, within an area

considered to have high archaeological potential. The site covers an area of 7,219 metres squared, contains

no visible previous disturbances and the soils at MWP-AD3 are very deep, sandy deposits that are result of

overbank deposition and artefacts may be in their primary location, buried by the alluvial deposits. The test

excavation of this site yielded 34 artefacts with the average density of 3.7 artefacts per square metre. The

highest density was recorded at the central part of the site (TP 13.2) with one 50 centimetre by 50 centimetre

test unit containing 6 artefacts which is an average of 24 artefacts per square metre, and two adjacent test

units had an average density of 16 artefacts per square metre; test pits 10 metres west and east had average

of 12 artefacts per square metre. In contrast to the other sites where the dominant material type comprised

of silcrete, MWP-AD3 had a majority of the artefacts made of indurated mudstone/tuff (IMT), followed by

silcrete, chert and one quartz; one volcanic flake was also identified, a raw material not known to be present

in the close vicinity.

Site MWP-AD3 indicates a concentrated activity was taking place at one portion of the site where the density

is much higher (24 artefacts per square metre). This site occupation pattern is common in Cumberland Plains

with activities located at dispersed places surrounded by low density background scatters. The assemblages

recovered from the four newly identified sites were compared with the results of the excavations conducted

nearby by McDonald in 2008 on the eastern side of Mamre Road. Here, silicified tuff or IMT was the second

most common raw material in both soil units at EP6&7/1 and 2 (McDonald 2008: 139), a trend that, with the

exception of MWP-AD3 is also confirmed within the SSD Application Area. The highest percentage of tuff

artefacts within MWP-AD3 is not a common occurrence within the local area. Tuff is known to be an

important component of artefact assemblages throughout Western Sydney as it occurs as water worn

pebbles and cobbles in Hawksbury and Nepean River gravel beds (Navin Officer 2005b: 95). Tuff comprised

the majority of artefacts at the Rouse Hill Infrastructure project excavations where the site PAD31 (RH/CC2) by

McDonald (1999) contained stratified deposits containing an earlier silicified tuff and a later, predominantly

silcrete assemblage geared towards backed artefact production. An open site, RSI, located at Mulgoa Road in

Mulgoa, had the predominance of indurated mudstone. A prevalence of tuff material in these two sites are

not surprising as they are located very close to the sources of this material, along the Nepean and Hawksbury

River. However, it is not known for tuff to have the highest representation on any one site in the vicinity of the

SSD Application Area, as it is located approximately 14 kilometres east of Nepean River. Site MWP-AD3 is

unique in this occurrence. An absence of cortex on tuff artefacts indicates that this material was brought to

the area at their later stages of reduction, which conforms to the McDonald's argument that frequencies of

cortical artefacts should decline with increasing distance from lithic sources (2008: 158). Considering a very

small assemblage it is not possible at this point to investigate this variable without further investigations. It is

possible that the site MWP-AD3 represents an earlier site as there are no backed artefacts present, with

different strategies in raw material procurement and use; the site can also be a place where trading would

occur between different groups.


At the site MWP-AD3 there is also one volcanic artefact identified that had 5 per cent cortex present. Although

several volcanic outcrops occur in the vicinity (McDonald 2008: 142), no artefacts made of volcanic materials

were recorded during previous assessments in the area. Considering there was only one volcanic artefact

identified at Mamre West, it is not possible at this stage to determine its provenance or the fact that it was a

unique find in the vicinity.

Considering a very small assemblage from MWP-AD3 was recovered, it is not possible at this stage to infer

further conclusions. This site showed significant variation to the other sites recorded in the area locally and

could possibly be explored in order to answer further questions regarding different occupation patterns,

technological strategies and raw material procurement within the Cumberland Plain. MWP-AD3 is not typical

of the area and does not conform to the site predictive model regarding the assemblage composition. A lack

of backed artefacts and the high frequency of tuff artefacts that lack cortex indicate a site could be older than

the surrounding sites. It could also be a remnant of a specific activity that is not recorded anywhere else in the

vicinity, such as a location where a trading of raw material occurred. It's location within deeper alluvial sandy

deposits point out that there would be a potential for undisturbed stratified deposits to be present. If

stratified deposits are encountered, the site would also have the potential to yield samples adequate for

radiometric dating. Specifically further assessment of the site could answer the following questions:

Does the site MWP-AD3 have stratified deposits that could be used for dating?

How does the site MWP-AD3 differ from the other sites recorded in the local context?

Does the variation of a cultural deposit at MWP-AD3 from the other sites in the area have a temporal

basis, i.e. is older than the surrounding sites?

Does the site MWP-AD3 represent a place where specific activities took place, such as trading of raw

material?

What technological strategies and raw material procurement can be inferred from a high density

concentration of artefacts within MWP-AD3?

Site MWP-AD3, located within elevated levee bank in yellow earth Sandy Creek soils, showed some variety in

artefact density and raw material that was not recorded in the vicinity previously. One area within the site

revealed high artefact density, as well as the presence of volcanic raw material. Higher proportion of tuff

artefacts indicate specific activity concentrated within one portion of the site. Further excavation of this site

would ensure expanding on site occupation patterns and use of local material for artefact production.


2.3 Aims of the sub-surface salvage excavations

The principle objective of the sub-surface salvage excavation program is to obtain further information on

occupational patterns, raw material procurement and use of local material for artefact production within the

SSD Application Area.

The aims of the sub-surface salvage program are to:

Obtain a larger sample of artefacts in order to successfully compare the assemblage to others

within the local and regional area.

Conduct dispersed salvage for those areas within MWP-AD3 that recorded high numbers in order

to adequately record and interpret them.

Analyse and interpret any archaeological finds (such as stone artefacts, hearths, knapping floors

etc.) recovered during the salvage program.

Inform current knowledge of Aboriginal occupation, land use models and raw material

procurement within the local area.

2.4 Research questions

Research questions provide a framework for undertaking sub-surface investigations and ensure that the

information collected during the sub-surface salvage program contributes to the knowledge of the sites and

the broader archaeological record. Research questions include:

Does the site MWP-AD3 have stratified deposits that could be used for dating?

How does the site MWP-AD3 differ from the other sites recorded in the local context?

Does the variation of a cultural deposit at MWP-AD3 from the other sites in the area has a temporal

basis, i.e. is older than the surrounding sites?

Does the site MWP-AD3 represent a place where specific activities took place, such as trading of raw

material?

What technological strategies and raw material procurement can be inferred from a high density

concentration of artefacts within MWP-AD3?

2.5 Sub surface salvage excavation sampling strategy

To answer these research questions salvage excavation will be conducted within Aboriginal site MWP-AD3

(Figure 3). The salvage excavation will be conducted by hand and will be laid out on a grid around or adjacent

to high density/sensitivity test pits within site MWP-AD3. Within this grid a series of dispersed 1 metre by 1

metre salvage pits will be excavated within this area to identify a trend for site patterning, relatively high

artefact densities and any features of archaeological interest.

The methodology would then be followed by the implementation of open area salvage:

The salvage program would be undertaken in the following manner:

– 1 metre by 1 metre extent pits excavated at selected locations across a grid.


– The excavation results of the extent pits will be used to determine the placement of the

remaining salvage pits depending on the artefact densities encountered and avoiding

localised disturbances.

– Based upon the result of these extent pits, the grid will be expanded into the areas with the

highest artefact densities or areas where archaeological features may be present.

– Salvage pits may be expanded into larger open area excavations should low densities be

identified.

– The total area of excavation within each grid is estimated to be a maximum of 10 metres by

10 metres squared.

The expansion of the pits will be undertaken on case by case basis in order to identify and salvage

as larger volume of cultural material as possible. Vertical excavation of deposits will be undertaken

in 5 to 10 centimetre spits dependant on the archaeological deposits encountered and their

spatial integrity.

Pits must be excavated using hand tools only including spades, handle shovels, and trowels.

All material excavated from the excavation units will be wet sieved using 5 millimetre aperture

wire-mesh sieves. All identified cultural material will be bagged individually and allocated a unique

label to ensure its provenience for data analysis.

Pits must be excavated to at least the depth of the Aboriginal object-bearing units identified during

test excavations.

All consolidated in-situ features, including knapping floors and hearths, must be excavated to the

extent of the feature. This may require extending pits.

All cultural material recovered from the pits will be collected and brought to the Biosis office at 8

Tate Street, Wollongong NSW 2500 for lithic analysis.

For each pit that is excavated, the following documentation will be taken:

- Unique pit identification number

- GPS coordinate of each pit

- Munsell soil colour, texture and pH

- Amount and location of cultural material within the deposit

- Nature of disturbance where present

- Stratigraphy

- Archaeological features (if present)

- Photographic records

- Spit records

Pits must be backfilled with gravel as soon as practicable due to safety issues, although where this

is not possible for open area salvage locations, pits will be temporarily fenced with Para webbing

and backfilled on the final day of excavation.


Any datable material will be collected for the purposes of radiometric or AMS dating. Datable

materials will be collected, bagged and clearly labelled. They will be temporarily stored in the

Biosis office at 8 Tate Street, Wollongong NSW 2500 before being sent to the University of Waikato

Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory.

Following salvage excavation, an AHIMS Aboriginal Site Recording form must be completed and

submitted to the AHIMS Registrar as soon as practicable, for site MWP-AD3.

Standard protocol for the discovery of any human remains is to be followed in the event that

human remains are discovered.


2.6 Objects recovered during excavation

All cultural material recovered from the pits will be labelled and bagged appropriately, including pit number. It

is proposed to undertake the lithics analysis in the Biosis Wollongong office, following completion of

excavation. However where possible, analysis may be completed on site to reduce costs and timeframes.

Aboriginal objects will be recorded in accordance with Requirements 19 and 20 (where applicable) of The

Code. For the purposes of recording and analysis the artefacts will be temporarily stored in a locked room at

the Biosis Wollongong office. The permanent care of the artefacts will be determined by the proponent and

the Registered Aboriginal Parties.

2.7 Reporting

At the conclusion of the dispersed salvage excavation program a detailed report will be prepared and will

include:

The results of the salvage excavation.

Results of the post excavation analysis.

Clear descriptions and maps showing the locations of all archaeological sites within the SSD

Application Area.

The report will also include:

A discussion placing the recorded data into a local and regional archaeological context.

Ongoing management recommendations for particular sites or Aboriginal archaeological heritage if

appropriate.

This report will be reissued to RAPs as per the conditions of the AHIP.
