1. Introduction

1.1 Project Description and Scope Perth Airport is strategically located 12 kilometres east of Perth’s Central Business District (CBD) and integrated with other transport infrastructure including the Kewdale rail freight facility, major highway networks and, via these roads, the Port of Fremantle. The Perth Airport estate consists of 2,105 hectares and although the primary use of the estate is for aviation purposes, there is land available for non-aviation developments. As required under the Airports Act 1996, a Major Development Plan (MDP) was prepared by Perth Airport for the purpose of seeking Commonwealth approval for the development of a Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) on the Perth Airport estate. The project was approved by the Hon. Darren Chester MP, Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, on 10 November 2016. The Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) retail concept sees leading Australian and International brands or surplus goods that are out of season, seconds or samples for sale at consistently below normal retail prices. The DFO development at Perth Airport will see the construction of a commercial retail building that will house multiple retail tenancies, including food and beverage tenancies and the development of associated car parking and access ways to service the site. Construction works associated with this project includes clearing of the existing land in preparation for earthworks and construction of the DFO building, car park and access ways. The following activities are involved:

• Clearing of existing bushland and mulching of material, • Earthworks, • Foundation preparation and compaction, • Erection of the DFO building and associated fit outs, • Priming of surfaces and asphalting for access ways, and • Installation of associated drainage and service ducts and systems

1.2 Objective Perth Airport has developed this Construction Environmental Management Plan to ensure that all works undertaken to construct the DFO building, car parks and associated access and servicing infrastructure are compliance with relevant legislation, Australian Standards and Perth Airport policies and procedures. This CEMP provides guidance to the Construction contractor to guide their activities and to ensure that the performance of the works under contract are managed to prevent pollution and minimise any adverse effects on the environment. This will be achieved by identifying and reducing the risks, and promoting the environmental awareness of everyone involved in the project. The plan lists all environmental aspects associated with the works and provides objectives and control methods to minimise any adverse effects on the environment. This EMP also details the expectation of the structure and responsibilities of key positions to ensure the success of this plan.

1.3 Legal and Other Requirements The Construction contractor will develop and maintain a register for the identification, interpretation, tracking and review of legislative, statutory and other requirements pertaining to construction and management activities associated with the DFO project. This information will be available to all personnel. They are also available to senior representatives of subcontract companies to ensure an understanding of the obligations. The register will be regularly reviewed to ensure validity and updated with current information so as to ensure that the management actions are appropriate and relevant. The following legal and other requirements have been considered:

• Airports Act 1996, • Perth Airport Environment Strategy 2009, • Airports (Environmental Protection) Regulations 1997, • The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, • WA Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972, • ISO14001: Environmental Management System, and • AS/NZS 4360:2004.

This list is not exhaustive and may be amended as required. 1.4 Perth Airport Environmental Policy Perth Airport is committed to undertaking all developmental activities in a manner that reduced our impact on the environment. The Environmental policy shown in Figure 1 outlines the vision, responsibilities and commitments to reducing our ecological footprint.

3. Environmental Risk Assessment

3.1 Environmental Risk Identification The following environmental risks have been identified for the DFO project: 1. Clearing of Conservation Significant Vegetation 2. Hydrocarbon and chemical spill, 3. Noise and Vibration, 4. Air Quality, 5. Aboriginal heritage, 6. Contaminated Soils, 7. Fauna, 8. Acid Sulphate Soils, 9. Dewatering, and 10. Impacts to the underlying groundwater.

3.1.1 Conservation Significant Vegetation The newly listed the Banksia Woodlands of the Swan Coastal Plain (BWSCP) ecological community has been inferred to be present on the DFO project area from vegetation mapping which has been undertaken. This Threatened Ecological Community (TEC) is present within the DFO project footprint and in patches surrounding the boundary. Unauthorised clearing of this TEC is a significant risk to the project.

3.1.2 Hydrocarbon and chemical spill

Construction activities utilise hydrocarbons and chemicals and it is necessary to ensure the appropriate storage, handling and disposal of these to prevent contamination of soils and the shallow underlying groundwater.

3.1.3 Noise and Vibration The DFO project area is located within two hundred metres of residential housing. Noise and vibration generated during construction has the potential to be a nuisance to nearby residents. Therefore, it will be essential that construction only occurs during hours stipulated within noise regulations.

3.1.4 Air Quality The DFO project area is located within two hundred metres of residential housing. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the dust generated during construction is minimised.

8


3.1.5 Aboriginal heritage

The DFO project is located within the boundaries of two Aboriginal sites. As these sites have been classified as Stored Data, Section 18 approvals are not required. However, there remains the potential for subsurface artefacts to be present.

3.1.6 Contaminated Soils One known registered contaminated site exists to the south east of the DFO project area. Therefore, the Construction Contractor is required to ensure that excavation and dewatering activities are conducted appropriately to mitigate against the disturbance and discharge of contaminated materials to the environment.

3.1.7 Fauna There are unlikely to be any Conservation Significant fauna species located within the DFO project boundaries. However, there is the risk of snakes being present on site and this must be noted for the safety of construction personnel. It is necessary to undertake daily inspections for trapped fauna, especially where there are trenches created during construction.

3.1.8 Acid Sulphate Soils The Living Stream project area has a moderate to low risk of containing Acid Sulphate Soils. The MDP requires an Acid Sulphate Soils site investigation to be undertaken prior to any excavation and/or dewatering activities being undertaken in the project area.

3.1.9 Dewatering

Dewatering will be required during construction. Therefore, dewater effluent will need to be infiltrated on site through an infiltration basin, after the water is first contained within a settlement pond. Groundwater and dewater effluent will be sampled regularly.

3.1.10 Hydrogeology The underlying groundwater is shallow and varies between surface expressions to four metres below ground level. Therefore, it is necessary to undertake dewatering during construction. There is also a potential risk of contamination of groundwater resulting from construction works. 3.2 Environmental Risk Assessment Outcomes These risks and any further risks which may be identified at the Job Pre Start Meeting will be investigated using the Risk Ranking Criteria Tables shown in Appendix B. The results of this analysis can be seen in Appendix C – Environmental Risk Register. The risk response / control measures have been determined by considering the hierarchy of risk controls in the following order, from most effective to least effective -

• Elimination: Stop using the equipment or substance, or stop undertaking the procedure causing the risk

• Substitution: Use an alternative substance, equipment or process which poses less risk • Isolation: Separate receivers from the source of the risk • Engineering controls: Reduce exposure to the risk by making physical changes to

equipment, procedures or the work environment • Change work practices: Adopt work procedures which minimise exposure to the risk

Control measures are not mutually exclusive and there may be circumstances where more than one control measure should be used to reduce or eliminate exposure to the hazard.

9


3.3 Potentially Significant Environmental Risks From the risk analysis performed and as evident from the Environmental Risk Register in Appendix C, the most significant risk for the DFO project is the potential for unauthorised clearing of conservation significant vegetation beyond the boundary of the DFO project footprint. See Section 4 for a detailed discussion on management of this risk.

10


4. Environmental Management This section outlines the management and mitigation measures that have been developed to address the environmental issues identified as part of the risk assessment process. Objectives and control methods are provided to minimise any adverse effects on the environment and to ensure compliance with legal and other requirements.

4.1 Erosion and Sediment Control

4.1.1 Objective The objective is to protect open drains and natural drainage lines from sedimentation deposits by minimising erosion of lands and transportation of sediments during construction.

4.1.2 Control Measures The following measures should be undertaken to minimise erosion:

1. Land clearance should be kept to a minimum (Site Boundary only). 2. Clearing areas of highly erodible soils and steep slopes that are prone to water and wind

erosion should be avoided wherever possible. 3. Areas that have been cleared shall have a dust suppressing agent applied to them if they

are being periodically worked on to minimise erosion. 4. Keep vehicles to well-marked and graded access roads. 5. Divert clean stormwater by small levees away from those parts of site where the soil is

exposed. 6. Stormwater drainage is to exit the site via a sedimentation control installation such as silt

fencing or sedimentation basins/tanks/ponds. When sediment traps are up to 1/3 full of silt, the silt should be removed.

7. Timber, logs and rubbish should be removed from site so soil removal should not be interfered with.

8. All excavated material should be temporarily stockpiled on the high side of the trench for periods of less than 1 month.

9. Where practicable, all trenches should be backfilled at the end of the working day. 10. Areas should be rehabilitated progressively to reduce the potential for sediments to flow

into creeks. 11. Machine activity to be kept away from drainage lines unless absolutely necessary and then

machine activity is to be kept to an absolute minimum. 12. Construction Plant and machinery is to remain within the construction site for the duration

of the contract thus limiting the transfer of mud from the site and also the transportation of weeds.

13. All drainage channels carrying stormwater runoff are to be stabilised. 14. If identified as being necessary by the Perth Airport Environment Team or the Construction

Contractor’s Site Supervisor, silt shields will be placed along the site fencing to prevent ingress of sand into the Southern Main Drain.

4.1.3 Performance Criteria No sedimentation deposits and erosion of lands and transportation of sediments during construction.

Any damage to property or equipment, 4. Any loss of containment of hazardous materials, 5. Any environmental incident, and 6. Any ‘near-miss’, that is, an incident with no injury, damage or loss but which could have resulted in

significant injury, damage or loss. No matter how minor, the employee is to report the incident immediately to the relevant supervisor. In every case the site supervisor is to document the incident using the Construction Contractor’s Incident Management System. All incident reports shall be discussed at toolbox meetings to ensure all site personnel learn from the incident. Incidents that have the potential to cause localised environmental impacts need to be reported to the Perth Airport Project Manager and Perth Airport Environment Team within 24 hours. Incidents that cause or have the potential to cause environmental impacts external to the facility boundary need to be reported to ACC, Perth Airport Environment Team and the Perth Airport Project Manager immediately. Full copies of the report / incident investigation shall be provided to the Perth Airport Project Manager upon completion. The Construction Contractor will establish a Project Emergency Response Plan at the Job Start-up Meeting. The plan shall detail the establishment of muster points and the accounting of personnel and will be communicated to all site personnel via signage, project notice boards, start-up meetings, toolbox meetings and site inductions.

6.1 First Aid / Spill Response Kits The Construction Contractor will ensure that First Aid facilities (First Aid Kits) and spill response kits are available on the project site at all times. First Aid Kits shall be stored in the site office, sea container and/or the site supervisor’s car. First Aid Kits shall also be audited on a regular basis by Construction Contractor and supplies re-ordered as required. The spill response kit shall be stored in the sea container where refuelling activities shall be undertaken as a priority. Re-fuelling should be limited to small equipment and on hardstand areas only where any spills can be cleaned up immediately. Spill trays should be used during refuelling to prevent spillage. The Construction Contractor shall also ensure that a percentage of employees are trained in First Aid principles and spill response or site clean-up procedures, including the site supervisor. An emergency contact list shall also be posted on site, which will display the contact details for the nearest hospital and emergency services. This information shall also be covered in the start-up / site induction.

19

10. Environmental Inspection and Audit Further to the above monitoring plan, the suitability of this CEMP and the implementation of this plan throughout the course of the project will be audited for compliance with the Construction Contractor and Perth Airport requirements on a Weekly basis. This is to be performed by the site supervisor and/or Construction Contractor Manager. Furthermore, a site audit of procedures and hazards will be performed by the Construction Contractor Manager every 2 Months. The Construction Contractor Manager will also be responsible for raising any non-conformances for areas requiring improvement or attention. The Construction Contractor Manager is then responsible for ensuring the non-conformance is logged on the Non-Conformance Log and for following up any implemented actions prior to closing out the non-conformance. Results of all site inspections and any non-conformances raised shall be provided to the Perth Airport Project Manager as soon as possible.

11. Environmental Reporting It is the responsibility of the site supervisor to ensure all environmental incidents are reported to the Construction Contractor Manager through the processes described above. The Construction Contractor Manager shall then review all incident reports and ensure the following reporting has been undertaken:

• Incidents that have the potential to cause localised environmental impacts need to be reported to the Perth Airport Project Manager and Environment Team within 24 hours.

• Incidents that cause or have the potential to cause environmental impacts external to the facility boundary need to be reported to ACC, Perth Airport Environment and Project Manager immediately.

• Any changes required to this CEMP, or if any additional environmental risks are identified throughout the course of the project, then the Construction Contractor is responsible for reporting this to the Perth Airport Environment Department and Perth Airport Project Manager.

• The Perth Airport Project Manager will be notified of any discovery of potential Aboriginal artefacts/heritage or any discovery of existing contaminated soils. No further excavation shall be permitted in the suspected area until further direction is provided by the Perth Airport Project Manager.

• All incident reports will be reported and discussed at toolbox meetings and management meetings to ensure all Construction Contractor personnel are fully appreciative of the corrective and preventative action required in order to prevent re-occurrence of the incident. It is also the responsibility of the Construction Contractor manager to ensure all relevant subcontractors receive a copy of the report.
