1.0 BackgroundMaunsell was engaged by the RTA in December 2006 to carry out an Options and Route SelectionStudy, Concept Development and Environmental Assessment (EA) for upgrading the Princes Highwaybetween 42.6 km to 74.6 km south of Wollongong. Maunsell has engaged a number of prominentsub-consultants to contribute to the delivery of this project.

The work includes development of route options and concept development based on the identifiedpreferred route, environmental assessment, public displays and handover period to allow forfinalisation of all activities and reports following the announcement and display of the Preferred Route,the Environmental Assessment and the Conditions of Approval.

The project will provide a bypass of Berry. The northern extremity of the project is in the vicinity of theMount Pleasant Lookout (north of Gerringong at the termination of the four lane configuration) and thesouthern extremity of the project is the intersection (roundabout) of the Princes Highway withCambewarra and Moss Vale Roads at Bomaderry.

Community involvement is a key aspect of this project and will afford the broader community theopportunity to make a demonstrable input to the process and to ensure that the requirements andaspirations of the community will be adequately and appropriately addressed. This is particularlyrelevant to:

a) Any potential impacts on rural and residential areas within the study area;b) Social and economic impacts;c) Accessibility of the road network for local and through traffic;d) Potential impacts on water quality;e) Potential impacts on wetlands;f) Potential impact on flooding;g) Potential impacts on land uses;h) Threatened flora and fauna species;i) Indigenous and non-indigenous heritage;j) Visual impact;k) Noise; andl) Air quality.

Several studies have been undertaken since the early 1990s to identify a preferred route to upgradesections of the Princes Highway between Kiama and Nowra including a bypass around the town ofBerry.

These studies include:

m) The 1991 Gerringong to Berry Route Study;n) 1998 North Street Berry Bypass Corridor; ando) 2004/05 Quantm Study from Kiama to Nowra.

Sections of the highway between Gerringong and Bomaderry have a poor accident record and limitedsafe overtaking opportunities.

Due to the significant changes in traffic, land use and population since 1991, the NSW stategovernment, in March 2006 committed to investigating an area where it is likely a preferred routewould be located to upgrade the Princes Highway between Mount Pleasant at Gerringong and MossVale/Cambewarra Road at Bomaderry to meet current road standards.

2.0 Objective of the report2.1 BackgroundSocial and economic impacts associated with major infrastructure projects rarely occur in only onespatial or temporal context. Rather, there is inevitably a variety of receptors in space and time whichrequire assessment and management.

The Princes Highway between Gerringong and Bomaderry is characterised by:

a) Its geographical reach;b) The level of tourism investment and reliance including the location of two significant local

economic drivers (Gerringong and Berry);c) The range of land uses along the route and the corresponding ability of the project to have direct

and indirect impacts on the local communities as well as those throughout the Illawarra regiondue to it being the main road connection between Sydney and the South Coast of NSW; and

d) The varying communities through which the road would pass – from rural and agriculture to townsand villages.

The objective of this report is to provide an initial overview of potential social and economic impactsassociated with the route selection process. This report does not address the wide range of socialand economic benefits which will affect the South Coast beyond Bomaderry/Nowra as these benefitswill be experienced/ created irrespective of the actual route chosen between Gerringong andBomaderry.

This preliminary social-economic impacts assessment identifies the key social impacts which havebeen considered during the selection of the short list of feasible route options.

In the next phase of the (preferred) route selection this preliminary assessment will be fed into a multi-criteria analysis. At this time, various weighting will be applied to each aspect being considered sothat the option developed reflects the various constraints and opportunities associated with the project.

2.2 Study methodologyThis preliminary social economic impact assessment includes the following tasks:

a) A desk-top study of maps, photographs, and other relevant data sources (see Section 10 for asummary of the sources referenced);

b) Review and summary of demographic profile at strategic and study area levels;c) Review and summary of economic activity along the route;d) A number of site inspections along the route; ande) Community and stakeholder consultation.

There are a number of limitations to this preliminary report including the following:

f) The fact that the latest census data is now 5 years old and about to be replaced by new data-sets. New local level data for employment activity is expected to be released by the AustralianBureau of Statistics in October 2007; and

g) Impact assessment can not be completed or mitigation measures identified at this route selectionstage.


The results of the analysis is summarised in the following sections.

2.3 Report structureThe report is divided into the following sections:

a) Section 3 reviews the context of the study area as well as a description of the main study towns;b) Section 4 summarises the social economic profile of the wider area local government area as well

as the more specific study area;c) Section 5 outlines the community assets in the study area;d) Section 6 summarises the social and economic impacts raised in the previous studies, as well as

providing a review of the general impacts of previous bypass schemes based on a review ofavailable literature;

e) Section 7 categorises the various potential social-economic impacts;f) Section 8 includes an assessment of the potential social and economic impacts relating to the

highway upgrade;g) Section 9 includes a description of the way forward with the current study; andh) Section 10 provides a list of reference documents.

This report should be read in conjunction with the Preliminary Land Use Issues Report and thePreliminary Traffic Assessment Report.


3.0 Study area3.1 Extent of study areaThe study area extends from the Mount Pleasant lookout north of Gerringong to the CambewarraRoad roundabout in Bomaderry as shown in Figure 3.1.

Figure 3.1: Study area map

The following sections outline the character of the three main towns within the study area, as well asthe rural areas between the towns.


3.2 GerringongGerringong is a small coastal town that is located along the Princes Highway at the northern end ofthe project area. As a result of amalgamation due to expansion, Gerringong consists of two suburbs;Gerringong and Werri Beach. Gerringong has both the picturesque qualities of a coastal town to theeast and a rural setting to the west including the Cambewarra Range.

The Princes Highway in conjunction with the South Coast railway line forms a strong western urbanboundary to the town. The eastern boundary is the coastline, which is protected from developmentwith an open space corridor. Werri Lagoon and adjacent rural environmental protection zones, limitdevelopment to the north, whilst there is no clear southern boundary and consequently urbanexpansion has occurred in this part of Gerringong.

Gerringong’s industrial hub is located adjacent to the Illawarra railway line and consists mainly of lightindustry. The commercial/business centre is located around Fern Street, Belinda and BlackwoodStreets. This is also predominantly where the community facilities are located; however a number offacilities are also located in Werri Beach. A number of Gerringong’s facilities and services are utilisedby residents of Gerroa which is often associated with Gerringong as it is a very small, predominantlyresidential coastal town south of Gerringong.

In addition to local shops and services, the town includes a number of tourist related activitiesincluding boutique accommodation and bed and breakfasts, cafes and restaurants, beach relatedretail outlets as well as a number of lifestyle and craft related services.

3.3 BerryBerry is the first non-coastal country town located along Princes Highway when heading south fromSydney and is approximately 130 kilometres or two hours drive time. Within Berry, the PrincesHighway becomes Queen Street; the main street of the town. Berry is valued for and enjoys a highlevel of amenity and tranquillity. It is a very picturesque town with a number of historic buildings andwell established gardens and vegetation. A significant number of well established trees are locatedthroughout the urban landscape. Berry also has a dramatic scenic backdrop with the Cambewarrarange located to the north and west of the town.

The northern and southern urban boundaries to Berry are North Street and the South Coast railway,respectively. Broadly, the only activities located south of the Illawarra Railway line are light industryand agriculture, whilst to the north of North Street, there are some residential areas, a sportsground aswell as agriculture further to the north. More recent development has seen the urban area expand tothe south of Kangaroo Valley Road. The commercial precinct is located on Queen Street near theAlexandra Street intersection. Berry is surrounded by large lots that are primarily used for agriculturalpurposes. An increasing trend is the presence of “hobby” and “weekend” farms.

Given distance from Sydney and the picturesque nature of the town and its local setting, Berryrepresents an ideal stopping off point for through traffic as a rest and refreshment point. In addition, italso attracts a significant number of day trippers who visit the town to enjoy its amenities. As a resultof this demand, the town has numerous bed and breakfasts, restaurants, cafes, craft and antiqueshops which rely to a large degree on highway related trade.

Due to the proximity to Nowra and Bomaderry, Berry also serves as a dormitory settlement to theselarger towns. Berry provides access to a range of retail services but major department stores andsupermarkets are located in Nowra, 18 kilometres to the south of the town.


3.4 BomaderryBomaderry adjoins North Nowra and Nowra, which is a significant urban centre with the capacity tocater for the local and regional communities.

Bomaderry is bounded by the Shoalhaven River to the south and Bomaderry Creek to the west. Thetown has extended to the Bomaderry suburbs boundaries along the north with the urban landscapeencroaching on Meroo Meadow. The South Coast railway line and industrial uses located on eitherside of it forms the eastern boundary of the town. Bomaderry has a number of pockets of vegetationincluding a significant level of vegetation at Bomaderry Creek.

The Princes Highway connects Bomaderry to Nowra via a historic 2-lane bridge over ShoalhavenRiver which was at one stage intended to include a railway crossing which never eventuated.Bomaderry station is the last station on the South Coast line that connects the region to Sydney.

The Bomaderry shopping centre and railway precinct are located west of Bomaderry railway station.Commercial activities are also located at the Bolong Road and Belinda Street intersection. Variouslight industrial activities are located along Princes Highway, at the Cambewarra Road intersection, aswell as along the waterfront. Some restricted industrial uses are located between Bolong Road andShoalhaven River, for example the Manildra starch and ethanol plant which currently employs over200 persons.

3.5 Rural areas between townsThe rural areas in the study area are important is considering the social impacts which will potentiallyresult from the project.

Rural localities in the study area between the urban towns include: Willow Vale, Toolijooa, Foxground,Broughton, Broughton Village, Berry, Jaspers Brush, and Meroo Meadow. These localitiespredominantly consist of large lot agricultural holdings including dairy farming and vineyards, as wellas designated environmental protection areas. Many of the farms and dwelling houses on theseagricultural land holdings are located close to the highway and have direct access to the highway.

Generally, the topography is more rugged to the west of the highway. In these areas, heavily woodedareas are well established. Views from some of theses areas stretch down to the Shoalhaven Riverand to the ocean. There are also a large number of “hobby” and “weekend” farms to the west of thehighway, serviced by the access roads adjoining the highway.

Land to the east of the highway is generally flatter, with a high percentage situated on the flood plain.This land is primarily used for dairy farming. One other activity of note is quarrying on Crooked RiverRoad which according to the operator, Cleary Bros., indirectly employs over 100 persons.


4.0 Social economic profile of the study area4.1 IntroductionThis section provides a summary of the social economic profile of the study area. This includes anoverview of the two local government areas (LGA’s) through which the Princes Highway passes,namely Kiama LGA and Shoalhaven LGA. This is followed by a more local summary of thedemography in those areas most directly affected by the project which includes Gerringong, Berry andBomaderry.

Information has been primarily sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) BasicCommunity Profiles 2001 and Social-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA). According to the ABS,more recent community data collected as part of the 2006 Census will be available in October 2007.When it becomes available, this information will be incorporated in subsequent analysis.

SEIFA provides an index figure for a number of key variables; social-economic advantage /disadvantage, economic resources and education/occupation). A brief outline of these SEIFA social-economic variables is provided below:

A higher score on the Index of Relative Social-Economic Advantage/Disadvantage indicatesthat an area has attributes such as relatively high proportion of people with high incomes or askilled workforce. It also means an area has a low proportion of people with low incomes andrelatively few unskilled people in the workforce. Conversely, a low score on the index indicatesthat an area has a higher proportion of individuals with low incomes and more employees inunskilled occupations.

The index of Economic Resources reflects the profile of the economic resources of familieswithin the areas. A higher score on the Index of Economic Resources indicates that an area hasa higher proportion of families on high income, a lower proportion of low income families, andmore households living in large houses i.e. 4 or more bedrooms. A low score indicates the areahas a relatively high proportion of households on low incomes and living in small dwellings.

The Index of Education and Occupation is designed to reflect the educational and occupationalstructure of communities. The education variables in this index show either the level ofqualification achieved or whether further education is being undertaken.

All the indices have been constructed so that relatively “advantaged” areas have high index values(i.e. often over 1000). For the Index of Relative Social-Economic Disadvantage this means thatrelatively “disadvantaged” areas have lower index numbers.

Information has also been sourced from the following unless documented otherwise:

a) Kiama Municipal Council Community Profile, March 2004;b) Kiama Municipal Council Social/Community Plan, 2004-2009; andc) Shoalhaven City Council Community Plan 2005-2010.


4.2 Social economic profile of local government areas4.2.1 Kiama

The Kiama municipal LGA comprises 256 square kilometres, located on the south coast of NSW (seeFigure 4.1.

Figure 4.1: Kiama Municipal LGA

In 2001, the population of the Kiama municipal local government area (Kiama LGA) had reached18,827, representing 0.3% of NSW’s total. The ABS estimated that the population of Kiama hadincreased to 20,414 by 2004.

Age structures within the Kiama LGA are undergoing a change as a result of generational alterations.The Kiama Municipal council community profile (March 2004) found that:

“there currently is a high proportion of children and young people aged between 5 and 19 living inthe Kiama area… [and] a high proportion of 40-49 year old people living in the area”. 1

1 Kiama Municipal Council Community Profile 2004-2009. March 2004. p7.


Also of importance is the fact that:

“In 1976, only 6.6% of the population of Kiama were over the age of 70. This proportion hasdoubled with 13.3% of the people of Kiama a being over the age of 70. The Kiama region hasseen a decrease in the amount of young people living in the area, with the proportion of 20-24,25-29, and 30-34 year olds all dropping considerably between 1976 and 2001 from 7% to 4.3%,7.4% to 4.3%, and 7.3% to 5.2% respectively”. 2

1.1% of the 2001 population are of an indigenous background, less than the NSW average of 2.1%.Of the total Kiama LGA population, 82.6% were born in Australia and 12.7% born overseas, namelythe United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Germany. 18.7% speak a language other than English athome within the Kiama LGA.

At the 2001 census, 7,961 dwellings were occupied. Of these, detached houses were most prevalent(72.9%), followed by units (6.1%), attached dwellings (5.8%) and other dwellings (2%)3. Detacheddwellings within Kiama LGA represent a higher proportion of overall dwellings than the NSW averageof 64.1%. Units represented a lower proportion than the NSW average of 16.3% and at 7% thepercentage of attached dwellings was less than the NSW average of 8.5%.

The Kiama LGA averages for relative social-economic advantage/disadvantage are compared tothose of NSW in Table 4.1.

Kiama LGA 1060.4 1044.9 1028.7 1049.6NSW Average 1000.5 1015.3 1030.5 1009.7

Across all relative social-economic advantage/disadvantage indexes (apart from EconomicResources) Kiama LGA displays a higher level of advantage than the NSW average. Economicresource is recorded as being marginally less than that of the NSW average. These results indicatethat within Kiama LGA there are a higher proportion of people with higher incomes, higher levels ofemployment and those in a skilled workforce, and living in larger households.

4.2.2 Shoalhaven

The Shoalhaven City LGA (Shoalhaven LGA) comprises 4,558 square kilometres, located on thesouth coast of NSW (see Figure 4.2).




Figure 4.2: Shoalhaven City LGA

In 2001, the population of the Shoalhaven LGA had reached 87,650, comprising 1.4% of NSW’s total.The age structures within the Shoalhaven LGA are undergoing a change as a result of generationalalterations. The Shoalhaven City Council Community Plan 2005-2010 outlines that:

a) Children (0-12 years) in the Shoalhaven have declined as a proportion of the overall populationprofile reflecting a significant reduction in the 25-39 year old age group as a result of outmigration;

b) The Shoalhaven has a significantly lower than average proportion of young people; andc) The Shoalhaven has a significantly higher than average proportion of residents aged 55 years

and older when compared to regional and state averages.4

4 Shoalhaven City Council Community Plan 2005-2010. P3.


In 2001, 3.6% of the population were of an indigenous background, a figure greater than the NSWaverage of 2.1%. Of the total Shoalhaven LGA population, 81.8% were born in Australia and 12.4%born overseas, namely the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Germany. 19.1% speak a languageother than English at home within the Shoalhaven LGA.

At the 2001 census, 33,392 dwellings were occupied. Of these, detached houses were mostprevalent (88.1%), followed by units (4.7%), attached dwellings (3.1%) and other dwellings (2%)5.Detached dwellings within Shoalhaven LGA represent a higher proportion of overall dwellings than theNSW average of 64.1%. Units represented a lower proportion than the NSW average of 16.3% and at3.1% the percentage of attached dwellings was less than the NSW average of 8.5%. Caravansrepresent 3% of all occupied private dwellings, higher than the 1.1% state value.

The Shoalhaven LGA averages for relative social-economic advantage/disadvantage are compared tothose of NSW in Table 4.2.

Shoalhaven LGA 967.7 938.0 921.7 951.5NSW Average 1000.5 1015.3 1030.5 1009.7

Across all relative social-economic advantage/disadvantage indexes, Shoalhaven LGA displays alower level of advantage than the NSW average. These results indicate that within Shoalhaven LGAthere are a lower proportion of people with higher incomes, lower levels of employment in a skilledworkforce, and living in smaller households.

4.3 Social economic profile of potentially affected areas4.3.1 Gerringong

Population

As at 2001, Gerringong had a total population of 3,492 persons, of these 48.1% were male and 51.6%were female. The male population in Gerringong is slightly lower than the NSW average, which was49.4%. Gerringong covers an area of 3.3 square kilometres of the Kiama LGA.

Of this total population, 76% are 15 and over with 20.4% 65 and over. The 15 and over age bracketwithin Gerringong is slightly lower than the NSW average of 79.3%, and the total persons withinGerringong over 65 was higher than the 13.1% of the state average.

Employment

Across all relative social-economic advantage/disadvantage indexes (except disadvantage andeducation and occupation), Berry displays a lower level of advantage than the NSW average. Theseresults indicate that within Berry there are a lower proportion of people with higher incomes, lowerlevels of employment in a skilled workforce, and those living in larger households.

4.3.3 Bomaderry

Population

For the purpose of statistical analysis, the ABS has grouped both Nowra and Bomaderry (known asBomaderry in this report) together into one basic community profile. Therefore the results are not anexclusive reflection of the Bomaderry area.

As at 2001, Bomaderry had a total population of 28,876 persons, of these 48.9% were male and51.1% were female. The male population in Bomaderry is slightly lower than NSW, which was 49.4%.Nowra-Bomaderry covers an area of 210 square kilometres of the Shoalhaven LGA.

Of this total population, 75.9% are 15 and over with 14.1% 65 and over. The 15 and over age bracketwithin Bomaderry is slightly lower than the state average of 79.3%, and the total persons withinBomaderry over 65 was higher than the 13.1% of the state average.

Employment

The total Bomaderry labour force in 2001 was 12,059, and of these 1,177 (9.8%) were unemployed.At that time, 37.7% of the Bomaderry population aged 15 years or more were employed, which waslower than the proportion of those aged 15 years and over employed in NSW (61%). Bomaderry’sunemployment rate of 9.8% is greater than the NSW unemployment rate of 7.2%.

The breakdown of employment activity in Bomaderry in 2001 is shown in Table 4.7. The mainemployment sources include retail, manufacturing, government, health, property, construction,education and accommodation and restaurants which provide nearly 80% of all jobs. It is of note thatthis area (which includes Nowra) has a much higher number of manufacturing based jobs compared tothe other areas.

Household structure

There were 11,530 dwellings identified from the 2001 census. Of these:

a) 9,151 (79.4%) were detached (greater than the state average of 64.1%);b) 431 (3.7%) were attached/semi-detached (lower than the state average of 8.5%);c) 845 (7.3%) were flats (lower than the state average of 16.3%); andd) 796 (6.9%) were unoccupied private dwelling (lower than the state average of 8.9%).

Travel patterns

Approximately 88% of the population drove to work (driver and/ or passenger), which is greater thanthe state average of 78%. Of these 921 (10.6%) were passengers, which is greater than the NSWaverage of 7.9%. Approximately 1% were reliant on public transport (bus and train), which issignificantly lower than the NSW average of 11.4%.

Income levels

Within Bomaderry the:

e) Median weekly individual income is between $300-399 which is equal to that of NSW; andf) Median weekly family income is between $700-799 which is lower than for NSW ($800-999).

6.0 Summary of data review6.1 IntroductionAs part of the preliminary social-economic impacts assessment, a review of existing literature and datasources has been undertaken to identify the likely impacts which can result from road upgrades andbypass schemes. This review is divided into two main parts comprising:

a) A review of previous studies undertaken on the Princes Highway between Kiama and Nowra withregards to the key social economic issues; and

b) A review of the available data concerning the social economic impact of bypasses in bothAustralia and overseas.

A full list of the documents contained in Section 10 of this report. The results are summarised below.

6.2 Social and economic impacts identified in previous studiesSeveral studies have been undertaken since the early 1990s to identify a preferred route to upgradesections of the Princes Highway between Kiama and Nowra including a bypass around the town ofBerry. These studies that include social issue documentation include:

a) Gutteridge Haskins & Davey, 1991, Gerringong to Berry Route Study;b) ERM Mitchell McCotter, 1998, Berry Bypass Environmental Impact Assessment; andc) RTA, 2006, Gerringong to Bomaderry Princes Highway Upgrade – Consultation Report.

Within these studies, a number of social issues were documented. The different categories of issuesreviewed are presented in Table 6.1.

6.3 General data review of bypass studies and impacts6.3.1 Evidence from NSW

There have been a number of bypass schemes implemented in NSW over the past two decades. Byreviewing the impacts of some of these road schemes on the local towns, it is possible to identifyissues which might need to be addressed as part of the current project. The RTA published a report6

which attempted to identify the economic impact of bypassing a number of towns as a result ofimprovements to the Hume Highway corridor in the 1980’s and 1990’s. The towns which wereassessed in the study included Goulburn, Yass, Mittagong, Gunning and Berrima.

One of the main findings of the report was that there were significant positive environmentalimprovements in the town centres assessed in terms of reductions in traffic congestion, noise and airpollution as well as road safety benefits and improved parking availability providing the potential toboost the towns’ amenity and attractiveness to visitors. These effects were expected to increase thelikelihood of motorists stopping in the towns and consequently would boost local economic activity.

The above study included an assessment of the local economies to determine the extent to whichbusinesses were reliant on highway generated trade for their income. Consequently, with a reductionin highway traffic directly through the towns following the implementation of bypass schemes, thestudy attempted to identify the direct and indirect impacts resulting from the reduction in highwaygenerated trade. The direct impacts were defined as those resulting from a reduction in expenditureby motorists stopping and staying in the town, and indirect impacts were defined as the reduction inthe value of purchases made by individual businesses from other businesses.

The report quantified the economic impacts in terms of changes in economic output (measured interms of business turnover) and employment. The results are summarised in Table 6.2.

-4.9 -15.2 -11.4 n/a

Change inemployment (%)

-0.65 -4.5 -2.3 -0.44

Source: RTA, Evaluation of the economic impacts of bypass roads on country towns

The results of the analysis indicated that the economic impacts of bypass roads on local businesses,although noticeable, were less negative than had been predicted in other studies and might haveoriginally been predicted. The overall reduction in turnover ranged from -4.9% for Goulburn to -15.2%for Yass. In employment terms, the reduction was estimated to between -0.5% for Goulburn to -4.5%for Yass.

In terms of job losses, it was predicted that casual and part time employment accounted for 70% oftotal job losses. Moreover, the analysis indicated that the most affected businesses were thosedirectly serving the needs of the motorist including service stations, food outlets and to a lesser extentfood stores. The accommodation sector was found to be largely unaffected. The indirect effects weremeasured to be relatively minor.

It should be noted that the higher losses measured at Yass were partially offset by the development ofa new service station on the bypass road which generated a significant amount of new employmentand retail turnover.

6.3.2 Comparative analysis with Berrima, Mittagong and Karuah

The Bureau of Transport and Communications Economics (BTCE) published a case study of theimpact on Berrima and Mittagong which were located on the old Hume Highway but were bypassedwhen the road was upgraded. The study looked at the impact of the bypass in terms of the effect onthe local economies. The “pre-bypass” economies of both towns were broadly similar with tourism andretailing being the most important industries. Berrima differed from Mittagong in that, like Berry, it wasand is a tourist destination in its own right possessing a number of historic buildings set in an attractivelandscape.

The results indicated that the completion of the bypass enhanced the tourist appeal of Berrima due tothe reduction in traffic through the town which improved the general environment of the town. In thecase of Mittagong, there was a minor decline in economic activity in the town following the bypass butthis largely related to highway based trade including take-away food shops, petrol stations and motels.In the longer term, it was expected that there would be a beneficial effect on the local economy as newtourist related businesses were expected to be established.

More recently, a study7 has been undertaken to look at the economic impact of the recent completionof the Karuah bypass. The analysis prior to the implementation of the bypass indicated that the townhad a large number (40-50% of the total) of businesses which were dependent on passing traffic.Consequently, it was envisaged that the bypass would have a significant detrimental impact on thesebusinesses. One year after opening a supplementary survey of businesses was undertaken. Theresults of this survey indicated that whilst there was a negative economic impact on the town, theextent of this impact was not as significant as originally envisaged. In many cases, the job losseswere part-time jobs which supplemented family incomes rather than representing the primary sourceof income. Furthermore, a number of measures have been put in place at a business level to mitigatethe bypass impacts including increased marketing and increased focus on local market compared tohighway trade. However, the report notes that “a surprising number of businesses have made noadjustments in response to the bypass. This is attributed to insufficient financial resources and aperception that the local Council is responsible for the economic recovery of the town”.

On the flip side, the report notes that the reduction of traffic and congestion from Karuah town centrehas created a significant improvement in the ambience of town with improvements in noise, air qualityand road safety, particularly in the vicinity of the local school.

6.3.3 Evidence from elsewhere

Following on from the wider literature review, a number of principles have been developed whichshould be borne in mind in developing the current scheme to ensure as many positive social andeconomic impacts while creating as few negative impacts as possible. These include the following:

1) The route should be close enough so that road users will stop at the townsThe location of the bypass is particularly important especially if there are other towns within a fewkilometres of the town to be bypassed (for example; Gerringong and Bomaderry’s location inrelation to Berry). Current literature outlines that distance from the bypass to the township, bothphysical and perceived, is very important to motorists and their decision whether to divert fromthe bypass and visit the town.

Johnson (2003) comments that if a bypass is greater than 5 kilometres from the bypassed town,motorists are less likely to turn off the highway and stop in the town. In general, the shorter thedistance the greater the appeal. Other studies in the USA attempt to apply mathematical modelsto assess potential impacts. While these studies are of limited relevance to the current routeselection study, they do reinforce the principle that towns are less likely to experience detrimentaleconomic impacts when the road bypass is close to the town.

7 The Economic and Social Impacts of the Karuah Bypass, The 1 Year Report, RTA/ University of Sydney60021933 - Gerringong to Bomaderry Princes Highway UpgradePreliminary Social-Economic Impacts Report – August 2007 Page 23

2) The route should, if possible, allow the town to be seen from the highwayThe ability of motorists to physically see a bypassed town from the bypass greatly increases thelikelihood that the motorist will visit the town. Importantly:

“A successful bypass is generally visible from the town. This appears to have some impact uponmotorist’s ability to turn off the highway and decide to stop in the town. The visual link providesan indication of the distance in and out of the town. The selection of the route needs to maintainsome level of visibility with the town. There need not be unimpeded visual linkages but sufficientto give a clear indication of perceived distance from the highway” (Johnson, 2003: 5).

The net result, when combined with the extra distance which would need to be travelled, is thatmotorists may continue along the highway without diverting off the bypass and visiting thetownship.

3) Interchanges and intersections should have regard to business needsIn addition to the distance of the actual route from the township and the visual linkages, a centralconsideration in later stages of the project will be the location and design of interchanges. Forexample, even if the highway route is located close to the town, this is of little benefit if theinterchanges are inappropriately located. Examples of this include Goulburn and Kiama where, inboth cases, the road is located close to the towns but because the interchanges are somedistance from town, motorists appear to be dissuaded from stopping.

The situations for Berry and Gerringong, although having inherent similarities, are fundamentallydifferent from each other and will need to be addressed in very different ways as the designprocess progresses to later stages where interchanges are addressed.

4) The route should not be so close that the rural character of the township is compromised.It is considered that options which involve the road being located very close to the Berry townshipperimeter would have considerable impacts on the rural character of the township. As a result, itis important that there is a balance between proximity and impact. For the bypass to be at asuitable distance from Berry to encourage motorists to divert from the bypass whilst still providingvisual links from the bypass to the town, there will undoubtedly be associated impacts.

In the case of Berry, it is important that view corridors along north/south aspect streets should notbe interrupted by potential northern or southern bypass route options. If the bypass was tooclose to the town, views could be significantly severed. As a result, the rural character of thetownship would be significantly compromised as views and the rural outlook would no longer beseen to the north of, and to a lesser extent, to the south of Berry. This is particularly significant inBerry as the township currently is renowned for its rural character. Any impact on this will changethe way the town is perceived by both tourists and locals.

The probability of any southern routes having such an effect is significantly less as the southernpart of Berry already experiences the physical barrier of the extant railway and its infrastructure.

In summary therefore, the key finding from literature review is that potential social-economicimpacts in relation to the bypassing of a town are affected by the following matters:

a) Proximity: The route should be close enough so that road users will stop at the towns;b) Visibility: The route should, if possible, allow the town to be seen from the highway;c) Appropriate location of interchanges: Interchanges and intersections should have regard to

business needs; andd) Impact of proximity: The route should not be so close that the rural character of the township

is compromised.


7.0 Potential social-economic impacts7.1 IntroductionThe potential positive social impacts (in particular those related to safety, tourism, employment andeconomic development) associated with the project at a regional level are far-reaching. Whilst arange of positive impacts will be experienced, there is also a potential for the project to create negativesocial impacts. The purpose of this preliminary report is to identify the main potential social impactswhich could be experienced in the local area. This will allow these to be adequately addressed duringthe ongoing/future design processes. Accordingly, this methodology has sought to understand thoserisks which are potentially the most significant to the communities along the route.

To allow a better understanding of each of the potential impacts, we have developed six categories asfollows:

a) Community identity and interaction;b) Amenity impacts;c) Road related impacts;d) Economic (local and regional);e) Community and special social group needs; andf) Impacts of acquisition.

A description of types of potential impacts, and instances of these potential impacts identified to date,are provided below.

7.2 Community identity and interactionAt a local level, this group of potential impacts is one of the most critical in understanding how theproposal could change the structure of the community and the manner in which it may respond to theproposal.

a) Social cohesion: Social cohesion has a number of definitions, but the over-arching definition isthat it is, “all that which brings people together”8. It is also seen as being the ongoing process ofdeveloping a community of shared values, shared challenges and equal opportunities based on asense of trust, hope and reciprocity.

b) Severance: Severance refers to the extent to which the proposal or related activities (duringconstruction or operation) has the potential to physically divide a community. That is, this impactfocuses on identifying those project elements which could reduce the level of integration within acommunity based largely on the physical nature of the infrastructure. Areas that have thepotential to be significantly impacted by severance include:- Agricultural land to the east of the existing Princes Highway; this includes land holdings

severed internally by the new road;- The township of Berry for example:

• Impacts associated with new subdivision to the north west of the town from the existingtownship;

• Severance of the North Street sports fields from the existing township of Berry; and• Severance of the sport and recreation camp to south from the existing township of

Berry.

http://www.newtowns.net/newtowns/themesmap/socialcohesian

- The township of Gerringong for example:• Potential increased severance of the town centre if adequate access arrangements are

not ensured.

c) Community identity: Community identity refers to a condition where the community has adistinctive identity. This identity is often developed as a result of evolution based on thosecharacteristics of the community which contribute to its distinctiveness from other communities.For example the three towns on the route have three different identities (coastal town, rural/market town and large urban) – while the agricultural land holdings to the east of the PrincesHighway and the hobby farms to the west of the Princes Highway which have rural/farmingidentities.

d) Social interaction: Social interaction refers generally to the extent to which individual or groupactions promote a high level of interaction. Social interactions associated with a project of thisnature are likely to fall into the following types:- Deliberate: This may take the form of opposition to, or support for, the project or certain

project elements. Deliberate interaction is most likely to occur in the lead up to the projectand during project construction phase. For example, resident action groups or certainstakeholders in the community who hold a certain view are likely to interact with each other(both positively and negatively) in response to the proposal.

- Accidental: Accidental social interaction is likely to be generated and promoted – especiallyduring the operation phase of the project – and includes the interaction experienced by“bumping into” people, be it neighbour, colleague or friend.

- Common: This is the interaction which we experience simply living in a community and refersto the relationships which develop between individuals within the community who, forwhatever reason, commonly see and interact with each other. Examples include a shop-keeper or other person who spends significant time in a community.

e) Community assets: Related to the above elements is the role of community assets in promotingcohesion and interaction among community members. This is especially relevant for Berry as it islocated effectively in the middle of the project area. The extent to which these assets aredetrimentally affected by the project (either directly or indirectly) will determine the likely socialimpacts caused. Similarly, the impact recommended mitigation measures adopted to manage theimpacts will also be important considerations, including the potential for new open space andimproved connectivity.

f) Uncertainty: The feeling of uncertainty is well known. In short it is the feeling of doubt orinsecurity driven by not knowing what the result of an action may be. In relation to the project, theconcept of uncertainty will be common, and in particular during this conceptual phase where anumber of variables exist. This will be experienced throughout the project area.

7.3 Amenity impactsAmenity impacts will be created both during construction and operational project phases. For thepurposes of this initial report, the following contributory elements have been identified as being thosewhich are most likely to create impacts on the existing levels of amenity in the localities along theproposed route:

a) Loss of flora and fauna: Along the proposed project corridor, the role of vegetation and animalhabitat contributes significantly to the level of residential amenity. In addition to visual impacts,from a social perspective, flora and fauna also plays an important role in providing a respite fromthe urban form. Therefore, loss of vegetation as a result of the project may contribute to areduction in this amenity throughout the project area.


b) Noise and vibration: Noise and vibration created during both the construction and operationalphases may create impacts on residential amenity unless appropriate design and mitigationmeasures are adopted. Key elements likely to be associated with this project include:- Construction noise (machinery, excavation, tunnelling etc): This is likely to be a major

contributor to negative impacts on the amenity along the project corridor as the new road isbuilt. The variables are numerous in terms of how this element will affect different parts ofthe corridor in different ways.; and

- Operational noise: This is likely to be a major contributor to both negative and positiveimpacts on the amenity along the project corridor. The variables are numerous in terms ofhow this element will affect different parts of the corridor in different ways.

c) Visual impacts: Visual impacts can have very significant impacts upon the amenity of an area asa result of a changed landscape and introduced structures associated with the project. Keyelements likely to be associated with this project include:- Scenic amenity;- Scale of the infrastructure; and- Loss of views.

d) Pollution/air quality: Pollution can lead to significant impacts upon the amenity of the area.Pollution has the potential to be experienced through the construction phase of the upgrade andalso during operation as a result of the potential greater volume of vehicles.

7.4 Road related impactsAny major project of this nature has the potential to have significant road related impacts. Some of themain road related impacts which can be expected to be associated with the project include:

a) Road safety: Road safety is an important social impact, both for current and future safety.Sections of the highway between Gerringong and Bomaderry have a poor accident record andlimited safe overtaking opportunities. The project area (and other areas further south) will gainpositively in terms of safety from a social perspective. A bypass of Berry will provide verysignificant improvements to road safety.

b) Road closures and changes and provision of access to new road: The change of classification ofthe Princes Highway has the potential to reduce the number of access roads directly accessingthe Princes Highway. This has the potential to require further acquisition for service roads,increased journey time for residents and further disruption to the immediate residents. However,as a result, safety will be enhanced on the upgraded Princes Highway. Detailed arrangementsfor access will be developed in the next phase of the project.

c) Displacement and provision of safe pedestrian crossings, paths and cycleways: Depending onthe location of the upgrade and the variation from the existing Princes Highway, there is thepotential for displacement of safe pedestrian crossings, paths and cycleways. However, one ofthe requirements of the upgrade is to provide safe pedestrian and cyclist facilities.


7.5 EconomicsAny major project of this nature has the potential to have significant local economic impacts. Some ofthe main economic impacts which can be expected to be associated with the project include:

a) Employment: Employment would be generated during the construction phase of the project.Such employment is likely to draw people from around NSW and range from highly skilled tounskilled. During the operational phase, employment would be increased as a result of improvedeconomic activity in the locality and the region. In terms of the regional effects, improvedconnectivity to the South Coast of NSW will enhance business opportunities in the area as well assupporting the existing tourism industry in the area including Jervis Bay, Bateman’s Bay andUlladulla. In addition, industries in the Nowra area will benefit from increased accessibility tomarkets and raw materials in the Sydney and Wollongong areas.

b) Local business impacts: The project would have the potential to create both positive and negativeimpacts on local non-farm businesses including:- Potential short term negative impacts due to construction impacts and potential long-term

impacts if the project resulted in changes to travel arrangement and urban form. Thosebusiness most likely affected are those most dependant on highway traffic including servicestations, eateries and some food stores in the retail sector. Establishments providingaccommodation (motels and hotels) are less likely to be affected;

- Potential long term negative impacts during operation if the upgrade bypasses too far fromBerry. Likewise appropriate access to Gerringong will be required to ensure the localeconomy is not negatively affected by the upgrade. In the case of the latter, the solution willneed to facilitate through traffic movements and encourage road users to turn off thehighway to visit the locality. These access arrangements will developed in more detail in thenext phase of the study;

- Improved ability to obtain and retain a workforce with the appropriate skills (which may notbe available in the local community) as a result of improved inter-connectivity with theregional labour market; and

- Loss of produce resulting from lower agricultural output.

c) Impacts on agricultural/farm lands: Agricultural and farm lands will be affected if the upgradedroad passes directly through an agricultural property or if access is reduced. As well as loss ofproductive land, farmers can incur additional costs in moving or replacing high cost equipmentsuch as milking machines.

d) Household finances: Household finances could be affected by the project in a number of waysincluding:- Reduced travel costs; and- Changes due to employment opportunity improvements, both locally and regionally.


7.6 Community and special social group needsServices and facilities for special social groups may be impacted by the project. The social groupsinclude:

a) Disabled;b) People from a non-English speaking background ;c) Children and young people;d) Indigenous peoples; ande) The aged.

Community health, including for special groups has the potential to be impacted by a project of thisscale. At a broad level, reduced air pollution and increased road safety as a result of reduced cartravel through towns and higher standard roads, augmented by an improvement in access to highlevel medical facilities outside the study area has the potential to increase health levels.

7.7 Impacts of acquisitionThe construction of the upgrade would require the acquisition of land along the route. The land wouldbe acquired under the terms of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991. Section 55of the act allows for the following matters to be considered in determining the amount of compensationto which a person in entitled:

a. The market value of the land on the date of its acquisition;b. Any special value of the land to the person on the date of its acquisition;c. Any loss attributable to severance;d. Any loss attributable to disturbance; ande. Solatium (meaning compensation to a person for a non financial disadvantage resulting from the

necessity to re-locate their residence as a result of the acquisition).

Despite the above mitigation measures, compulsory acquisition of property can potentially create anumber of social impacts which are summarised in Table 7.1.

• Staff anxiety• Operational

difficulties• Market impacts


Note: a/ For example, high ground is more valuable than low land (cattle can be moved to high groundduring flooding) and paddocks close to homestead are more valuable than those further away(security of cattle at night).

Within the various rural and agricultural land uses, the impacts that may be most detrimental are inregards to reduced subdivision potential with reduction in lot sizes. There are a large number ofsubdivision controls within both Shoalhaven City and Kiama Council’s planning controls which wouldbe affected by any reduction in lot size. In Shoalhaven, there are controls that mitigate this bypermitting the erection of houses with consent as long as it was permissible before the land wasacquired for the purpose of a public main or arterial road. However, there are no controls that addressmitigation measures for allotments that will no longer meet minimum lot sizes for subdivision due toacquisition for the highway. In Kiama, there are no mitigation measures for the loss of subdivision anderection of a dwelling house potential.

7.8 Community involvement – perceived social and economic issuesCommunity involvement is an integral part of any social-economic assessment process and impactanalysis should include the effect of people’s values, social dynamics, and beliefs about particularevents. Those people directly affected are in the best position to say how they actually experienceevents, and people’s own predictions are a significant component of their behaviour and hence socialimpacts. Community involvement will afford the broader community the opportunity to make ademonstrable input to the process and to ensure that any issues or concerns are adequately andappropriately addressed.

As route options become refined, further involvement mechanisms will be used to keep the communityinformed and to enable the project team to gain an understanding of key community issues related toeach route option

Key involvement activities undertaken between May 2006 and August 2007 include:

a) Community information sessions and information stands in May 2006;b) Planning Focus Meeting with representatives from various agencies and stakeholder groups in

September 2006;c) Three community information sessions in February 2007;d) Interest group workshop in April 2007;e) Individual meetings with the Gerringong and Berry Chambers of Commerce;f) Individual meetings with local councils, Local Aboriginal Land Council representatives and other

local interest groups;g) Specialist information sessions held in Berry in August 2007.

Based on the six categories identified previously in this chapter, in section the Table 7.2 identifies thebroad impacts and sub themes that have emerged through the consultation process to date.

8.0 Summary of key social and economic impactsThe considerations required to address the key potential social impacts during the route selectionprocess are outlined in Table 8.1. Some of the project considerations associated with other social andeconomic impacts will, by their nature, conflict with other considerations. For example, in terms ofsafety it would be preferable to limit direct access to the road; however this has negative implicationsin terms of social interaction and access to community facilities. For the purposes of this preliminaryreport however, these potential conflicts highlight the importance of the value management processwhere this information will be utilised.


Table 8.1: Summary of key social impacts

Potential social impacts Social considerations Project considerationsExisting social cohesion a) Route options selected need to minimise social tensions

by avoiding clear “winners and losers”; andb) Transparent communication of options and option

Economic Local business and employment Impacts mm) Although complicated (and expensive) route optionswould be avoided, regardless of the relative complexityand cost, the project will still involve very substantialemployment (both locally and regionally);

nn) Apart from the construction phase of the project, the keyemployment related impact (in terms of route selection)is likely to relate to employment in Berry, Gerringongand the surrounding rural area;

oo) Route and road configurations which seek to protect thelocal economy may include retaining a proximity to Berryso that its role as a service centre and tourist destinationis protected;

pp) Proximity to Berry and multiple exits from the highway toBerry and Gerringong may assist; and

9.0 Next StepsThe proposed upgrade of this section of the Princes Highway is being developed in a way that isecologically sustainable and achieves the optimum balance of community, environmental, engineeringand economic interests. The process to identify a preferred option will result from the ongoing work inthe next phase of the study. This involves the short listing of a few route options which will be thesubject of more detailed assessment. This will include further consultation with the local communityand project stakeholders to ensure that all relevant issues relating to the short listed options havebeen properly examined. It is currently envisaged that community responses will be recorded at aseries of events collectively comprising the route options display.

The short listed options will subject to further analysis which will be brought together through a valuemanagement process which will include a workshop. Participants at the workshop will comprise thestudy team (including RTA), government agencies, other stakeholders and community members. Theprocess is tailored to ensure that the interests of all stakeholders are considered in the decisionmaking process. The conclusion will assist the selection of a preferred route that provides the bestoverall outcome and not necessarily one that is just the best in terms of social and or economicgrounds.

The recommendations of the value management process will be considered together with the ongoingand more detailed analysis into the short list of route options; the outcome being the recommendedpreferred route. Following approval and announcement of the preferred route by the Minister forRoads, a full concept design for the preferred route will be developed.

Following the announcement of the preferred route, the land acquisition process will commence. Inparallel with that, the concept design will be the subject of environmental assessment. The conceptdesign will be developed in line with the findings of the environmental assessment and to enableconstruction contracts to be let. Construction of the upgrade is likely to be delivered in a number ofpackages and will take several years.
