How will the potential emission of dust be managed?
The Builder has implemented a dust management plan which provides a guide to control, monitor and identify all dust generating activities during all stage of the construction.
Some of the key objectives will be to ensure control measures are in place, to mitigate any health risk or loss of amenity due to emission of dust into the environment.
The dust management systems can be summarised:
- Dust suppression techniques will be reviewed if excessive visual dust is observed
- Maintain footpaths and gutters to ensure they are clean and swept daily
- Site personnel will visually monitor dust levels during construction and operation of the project. Dust suppression measures will be instituted using water trucks, spray bars and other means as necessary, in the event that high levels of dust are observed, and/or strong winds and dry conditions make dust generation likely
- A combination of solid timber hoarding and shade cloth will help keep any dust generated within the site boundary
- If elevated dust levels are identified during works the dust management practices will be reviewed and appropriate controls implemented
- If neighbouring buildings / residents have reported release of visible dust, complaints shall be recorded and acted on promptly
Where are the tradespersons parking during the construction operating hours?
All tradespersons will be encouraged to utilise public transport and will be prohibited to park within Chadstone Shopping Centre to ensure that all car parking is available to customers.
