The Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan shall be prepared by an appropriately qualified acoustic
engineer (defined as a Member of the Australian Institute of Engineers and eligible for membership in the
Australian Acoustical Society).
Heritage-listed items are located at [insert locations of heritage items or attach a schedule]. Heritage-listed items
shall be considered ‘sensitive structures’ for the purposes of determining upper vibration limits for damage to
structures.
DPTI will undertake pre-construction dilapidation surveys of [insert structures] and will arrange follow-up surveys
post-construction, if necessary, to ascertain whether the structures have sustained any damage as a result of
construction activities.
OR
The Contractor shall ensure that pre- and post-construction dilapidation surveys of [insert structures] are
undertaken by an appropriately qualified consultant, to ascertain whether the structures have sustained any damage
as a result of construction activities.
The Contractor shall ensure that short-term vibration levels at properties are less than or equal to the velocity limits
in DIN 4150, Part 3, Table 1 (or a similar approved Standard of guideline) for “Dwellings and buildings of similar
design and/or occupancy”. The Contractor shall implement a monitoring regime to enable post construction
verification that the limits in DIN 4150 were not exceeded at all sensitive locations, including State Heritage listed
places. This may include Building Condition Inspections and on ground vibration monitoring.
If the Contractor has caused structural damage to a building or structure of heritage significance, the Contractor
shall arrange for the repairs of damage required in a manner that is consistent with the character and fabric of the
item. Where approval under the Development Act is required, this shall be obtained by the Contractor prior to any
rectification or repairs of damage being undertaken. Repairs shall be determined and documented by a suitably

(a) establishing appropriate dust-screen fencing to minimise the transfer of airborne pollutants from within the
site to adjacent areas
(b) limiting on-site vehicle speeds
(c) selecting appropriate surface materials for haul roads to minimise dust generation, eg gravel, bitumen seal
(d) spraying stockpiles with suitable stabilising agents and/or erecting dust screens around stockpiles
(e) removing dirt and mud from construction equipment before it leaves the Site (this can be achieved through the
use of shaker ramps, truck wash downs and wheel washes)
(f) locating stockpiles away from areas susceptible to disturbance by wind
(g) covering loads carried by trucks
(h) promptly removing any material that is spilt on to public roads or other sealed pavements
(i) progressively stabilising batter slopes and construction areas with a temporary cover crop or other soil
stabilising material/technique
(j) immediately establishing suitable cover crops over topsoil stockpiles or providing suitable alternative
covering
Continuous particulate matter monitoring (PM10) shall be undertaken by the Contractor to ensure the Site does not
compromise public health, nor cause an environmental nuisance. Monitoring shall be undertaken in accordance
with the requirements of any of the following Australian Standards (depending on equipment selected):

(f) AS 3580.9.8 (TEOM analyser)
(g) AS 3580.9.9 (low volume sampler
(h) AS 3580.9.11 (beta attenuation monitor)
Monitoring equipment shall be located in accordance with the requirements of AS 3580.1.1, and shall be positioned
in areas where air quality is likely to have the greatest impact on adjacent properties or create nuisance/
inconvenience to the public. PM10 concentrations should not exceed 60g/m3 for a 24hr average. Where the PM10
method selected does not provide continuous readings, the monitoring program shall be supplemented with
equipment that provides measurements for 1hr average concentrations. The Contractor’s site manager shall be
notified as soon as possible when PM10 1hr average concentrations are such that the 60 g/m3 24hr average limit
may not be achieved (e.g. by programming the equipment to provide notice), to enable the Contractor to modify
working methods or cease work if necessary.
The sampling frequency shall be a minimum of once per week for a 24 hour period during construction activities. If
a dust complaint is received, or if significant nuisance dust is visible, additional dust monitoring is recommended to
provide evidence of the Contractor’s general environmental duty under the Environment Protection Act 1993.
In addition to PM10 monitoring, the Contractor shall monitor Total Suspended Particulate Matter (TSP) in
accordance with the following requirements:
(a) TSP sampling shall be in conducted in accordance with Australian Standard 3580.9.3.
