Continued access to services and facilities during the construction phase would be managed through the traffic management, business disruption and community and business involvement plans required by the recommended Environmental Performance Requirements. The need to maintain access to emergency and medical services in the Parkville precinct has been a key input to the development and design of Melbourne Metro. Amenity Amenity To minimise adverse air quality, noise or vibration effects on the amenity of nearby residents and local communities, as far as practicable, especially during the construction phase. The EES sets out the results of detailed modelling of the potential air quality, noise and vibration impacts of construction and operation based on the Concept Design. The modelling demonstrates that the project can be constructed and operated in compliance with applicable regulatory standards and best practice guidelines. The recommended Environmental Performance Requirements take into account the potential impacts on nearby residents, businesses and local communities and the special needs of health and education facilities in the Parkville station precinct. The technical appendices to the EES provide details of well-tested management actions and mitigation measures that could be used by the contractors to meet the air quality, noise and vibration targets set for the project. The recommended Environmental Performance Requirements also require monitoring for air quality, noise and vibration during construction, and establish the processes to be followed to implement additional mitigation measures if amenity threshold triggers are reached during construction. A thorough community consultation and notification process would also be undertaken before and during construction. These management measures would enable Melbourne Metro to maintain the required intensity of works (to minimise the construction period required), while maintaining a close watch on amenity effects during construction. Air quality and vibration during operation are not expected to create amenity issues The potential increase in operational rail noise created from additional rail services would require permanent noise treatments to protect a small number of properties near the tunnel entrances. These treatments would be designed in accordance with Victoria’s Passenger Rail Infrastructure Noise Policy. Cultural Heritage Cultural Heritage To avoid or minimise adverse effects on Aboriginal and historic cultural heritage values. A CHMP has been prepared alongside the EES to avoid and manage potential impacts to Aboriginal cultural heritage.
