1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background This Review of Environmental Factors (REF) has been prepared by Barnson Pty Ltd on behalf of Charles Sturt University (CSU) for the proposed upgrade of Village Drive at the Bathurst Campus of CSU.

This REF provides an assessment of the environmental impact from the proposed activity, including a description of all mitigation measures to be implemented.

1.2 Proponent CSU is the proponent for the activity.

1.3 Determining Authority Pursuant to clause 227 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 (EP&A Regulation), CSU is prescribed as a ‘public authority’ for the purpose of being a ‘determining authority’ within the meaning of Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). This is only where development is permitted without consent (by State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007 or State Environmental Planning Policy (Educational Establishments and Child Care Facilities) 2017) on land vested in, leased by or otherwise under the control or management of the university.

Therefore, for the purposes of the proposed development, CSU is the determining authority.

1.4 Purpose of this Report The purpose of this REF is to assist CSU to fulfil its obligations as a determining authority for the proposed activity in accordance with Part 5 of the EP&A Act and Part 14 of the EP&A Regulation.


2 PROPOSED ACTIVITY

2.1 Summary of the Activity The proposed activity involves the upgrade of Village Drive from the exit of the Mitchell Drive roundabout to Wiradjuri Road. The overall works package for the development also includes works to the adjacent Carparks 2, 3, and 4; however, the carpark works do not form part of the development assessed in this REF.

2.2 Location of the Activity The site the subject of this activity comprises part of Lot 236 DP 750357 and Lot 1 DP 823451, the location of which is provided in Figure 1 and Figure 2. The Deposited Plan (DP) and Certificates of Title are provided in Appendix A.

2.3 Description of the Activity CSU proposes to upgrade Village Drive between the exit of the Mitchell Drive roundabout through to Wiradjuri Road. Village Drive is a private road. The road has been designed in accordance with Austroads Guide to Road Design and NSW Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) supplements. Plans of the proposed works are provided in Appendix C.

Table 1 provides details of the proposed activity.

Table 1 – Activity Overview

Activity Description

Overview The proposal involves the following key elements: • No trees to be removed; • No change to lighting; • The existing concrete edge of the road and the top 300mm of the existing road

would be removed and disposed of by the contractor at an appropriate waste facility;

• New roll type kerb would be installed from chainage 0 to chainage 156.70 (south side of road) and 166.17 (north side of road), except adjacent to the entrance to car park 1 (P1). The kerbs are to tie into the existing adjacent remaining kerb and gutters;

• 300m compacted gravel with new 50mm AC seal along the length of the road works;

• A new speed hump at chainage 120.00; • Two combined driveways to the new carpark 2 (P2); • A new pedestrian crossing located prior and adjacent to chainage 237.19 and

associated new kerb ramp; • A new 300mm underground stormwater drainage pipe between chainage

190.00 and 200.00; • Installation of two (2) new 600m x 600m grated stormwater pits; and • Installation of associated signage and line marking.

Personnel Anticipated total number of personnel onsite during construction is 4-6. • Site Supervisor; nominated personnel from CSU and Inspection and testing

supervision at Level 2 to be nominated. • Engineering Consultancy; Barnson, senior designer Luke Morris • Civil Contractor- To be advised

Timing • The construction works would commence on 23 March 2018 • The works would be for a period of 10-12 weeks (weather permitting).

Construction Hours of

Operation

• Requirements o Construction activities will adhere to the requirements of the Interim

Noise Guidelines (DECC, 2009) and the NSW Industrial Noise Policy (EPA, 2000);

• Hours of Operations – limited to: o Monday – Friday – 7am-5pm


Table 1 – Activity Overview

Activity Description

o Saturday – 8am-1pm

Plant and Equipment

• Grader • Roller • Small/large Excavator • Bob Cat • Truck & dog • Concrete kerbing machine • Water Cart (as necessary)

Traffic Management &

Access

• Appointed contractor to define control measures in a Construction Traffic Management Plan, prepared in accordance with Council’s and any other relevant requirements.

• Bus companies and users of the adjacent carpark will be notified.

Public Utilities • no utility assets being affected.

Operation & Maintenance

• road condition audit, carried out in accordance with CSU maintenance schedules.

2.4 Objectives of the Proposal The objectives of the proposal are to:

• Upgrade high priority roads to prevent further degradation; • ensure roads are safe to use; • eliminate costly temporary patching of the road; and • Improve stormwater management on and in the vicinity of the road.


3 PROJECT JUSTIFICATION

3.1 Need for the Project The proposed works aligns with CSU’s road condition audit and meets the university’s objectives for campus roads.

3.2 Consideration of Alternatives

3.2.1 Alternatives Alternatives to the project would include a different location and different design of the road. Within the precinct, there are no other suitable location for road. The works utilise the existing road alignment and minimise impact on existing infrastructure and vegetation. The materials used provide the most cost-effective method of road construction and match in with the existing.

3.2.2 Do Nothing Approach The 'do nothing' approach infers undertaking no works relating to the upgrade works. This option is not acceptable as it would result in:

• University objectives not being meet; • ongoing deterioration of the road and high maintenance costs; and • increased risk of work health and safety (WH&S) incidences.


4 STATUTORY & PLANNING FRAMEWORK

4.1 Introduction The proposed road upgrade falls under the definition of ‘road’ which may be carried out without development consent:

• pursuant to clause 2.3 of Bathurst Regional Local Environmental Plan 2014 (LEP) as the site is located within the SP2 Infrastructure Zone; and

• by or on behalf of a public authority pursuant to Clause 94 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007 (ISEPP).

The proposed road works comprises an activity and therefore requires consideration of its environmental impacts under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). The proponent for the activity is CSU. The nominated determining authority for the activity is CSU.

This section of the report outlines the statutory and planning approval requirements of the activity. The following table outlines the legislation and subordinate legislation that may be applicable to the development. Detailed consideration of those relevant to the works is provided in the following sections.

N/A – No wilderness area in the locality.

(4) Repealed N/A

CSU is a prescribed determining authority, being a person prescribed for the purposes of the definition of a public authority in Section 4(1) of the EP&A Act to allow them to be a determining authority for the purposes of Part 5 of the EP&A Act.

Section 111A of the EP&A Act enables the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 (EP&A Regulation) to make specific provisions for prescribed determining authorities in relation to their environmental impact assessment functions. These include:

(a) the manner in which environmental impact assessment functions must be exercised including the matters that must be considered in the exercise of those functions,


(b) requirements for public and other consultation in connection with environmental impact assessment functions, including requirements for consultation with the Secretary and the consideration of advice given by the Secretary,

(c) requirements for the documentation of the exercise of environmental impact assessment functions (assessment documentation),

(d) requirements for making assessment documentation available to the Minister and the Secretary and for the public release of assessment documentation,

(e) requirements for auditing the exercise of environmental impact assessment functions and compliance with requirements imposed by or under the regulations.

The regulations may also make provision for an approved code to address the above matters.

In this instance no provisions of the EP&A Regulations are applicable in relation to Section 111A of the EP&A Act.

4.2.3 Activities for which an EIS is required Section 112 provides that where an activity:

• Is a prescribed activity; • An activity of a prescribed kind; or • Is likely to significantly affect the environment,

an environmental impact statement (EIS) is to be prepared and other notification requirements exist. The proposed activity would not trigger any of the above requirements and as such Section 112 provisions are not applicable.

4.3 Environmental Planning & Assessment Regulation 2000 (EP&A Regulation)

4.3.1 Factors for consideration Clause 228 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Regulation 2000 (EP&A Regulation) outlines the factors to be taken into account when consideration is being given to the likely impact of an activity on the environment as required by Section 111 of the EP&A Act. The specific factors as outlined by Clause 228(2) are outlined below in relation to the activity, with further consideration provided in Section 7.

4.4 State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2008 (ISEPP)

4.4.1 Permissibility Clause 94 of (ISEPP) states:

(1) Development for the purpose of a road or road infrastructure facilities may be carried out by or on behalf of a public authority without consent on any land. However, such development may be carried out without consent on land reserved under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 only if the development:

(a) is authorised by or under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, or (b) is, or is the subject of, an existing interest within the meaning of section 39 of that

Act, or (c) is on land to which that Act applies over which an easement has been granted and

is not contrary to the terms or nature of the easement.

An assigned construction contractor will be carrying out the works on behalf of a public authority being CSU. CSU is considered to be a Public Authority as defined (s.4(1)) in the EP&A Act:

‘Public authority’ means:

(a) a public or local authority constituted by or under an Act, or (b) a Public Service agency, or (c) a statutory body representing the Crown, or (d) a Public Service senior executive within the meaning of the Government Sector

Employment Act 2013, or (e) a statutory State owned corporation (and its subsidiaries) within the meaning of the

State Owned Corporations Act 1989, or (f) a chief executive officer of a corporation or subsidiary referred to in paragraph (e), or (g) a person prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this definition.

Clause 227 of the EP&A Regulation prescribes the following as a public authority:

(4) For the purpose of the definition of public authority in section 4 (1) of the Act, the following universities are prescribed, but only so as to allow each university to be a determining authority within the meaning of Part 5 of the Act for development that is permitted without consent on land vested in, leased by or otherwise under the control or management of the university, under a provision of State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007 or State Environmental Planning Policy (Educational Establishments and Child Care Facilities) 2017:

(a) Charles Sturt University, (b) …, … (j) ….


Therefore, CSU is a public authority for the purposes of being a determining authority under Part 5 of the EP&A Act in relation to carrying out development without consent under the ISEPP.

The road works can therefore be carried out without development consent.

4.4.2 Consultation Division 1 of Part 2 of the ISEPP outlines consultation requirements. These requirements are outlined below in relation to the proposed works.

4.5 Bathurst Regional Local Environmental Plan 2014 The Bathurst Regional Local Environmental Plan 2014 (BRLEP) applies to the site. The site is zoned SP2 Infrastructure under the LEP and roads are permissible without consent in the SP2 Zone.

The application of the Infrastructure SEPP overrides the need to consider zoning controls, as developments covered by the Infrastructure SEPP are permissible on any land without consent.

However, the Infrastructure SEPP provides consultation and notification provisions where activities are likely to substantially impact upon council related infrastructure or items of local heritage significance.

The subject site is listed on the LEP as containing an item of heritage significance:

• Item I182 - Charles Sturt University and Agricultural Research Station (including dormitory block, administration block, Ponton Theatre, secretary’s residence, brick farm buildings, WWII building, and original farm and farm school buildings).

The impact of the activity on these items has been considered in Section 6.9 and it has been determined that it would not impact on the significance of the item.

4.6 Other Legislation

4.6.1 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

The Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) requires the approval of the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment for actions that may have a significant impact on matters of national environmental significance (NES).

The EPBC Act lists seven matters of NES which must be addressed when assessing the impacts of a project. An assessment of how the project may impact on matters of NES is outlined below.

Table 6 – Impact on Matters of National Environmental Significance

Matter of NES Impact from Activity

World heritage properties There are no World Heritage Properties that would be affected by the activity.

National heritage places There are no National heritage places that would be affected by the activity.

Wetlands of international importance There are no Wetlands of international importance that would be affected by the activity.


Table 6 – Impact on Matters of National Environmental Significance

Matter of NES Impact from Activity

Commonwealth listed threatened species and ecological communities

There are no Commonwealth listed threatened species or ecological communities that are likely to be affected by the activity.

Commonwealth listed migratory species There are no Commonwealth listed migratory species that are likely to be affected by the activity.

Nuclear action The proposed activity would not involve any nuclear activities.

Commonwealth marine areas The proposed activity would not be undertaken in or affect any Commonwealth marine areas.

As the activity, would not significantly impact on any matters of NES and would not be carried out on Commonwealth land, an approval under the EPBC Act is required.

4.6.2 National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 The National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NPW Act) provides for the management of all national parks, historic sites, nature reserves, reserves, Aboriginal areas and state game reserves. It also provides for the protection and care of native flora and fauna, and Aboriginal places and objects throughout NSW. Under the Act it is an offence to:

• Knowingly destroy, deface or damage an Aboriginal object or place without consent;

• Pick or harm any plant or animal that is protected or is a threatened species, population or ecological community; or

• Damage any critical habitat, or habitat of a threatened species, an endangered population or an endangered ecological community or reserved land.

It is not expected that the activity would impact upon any Aboriginal objects or places. However, the following mitigation measures are to be included in the unlikely event that they are uncovered:

• All personnel working within the project site are to be made aware of the potential for Aboriginal items/objects within the project vicinity.

• In the event of an unexpected find of an Aboriginal heritage item (or suspected item) work will cease in the affected area and the site supervisor is to contact OEH for advice on how to proceed.


4.6.3 Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016

4.6.3.1 Is the development likely to significantly affect threatened species?

Clause 7.2 of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (BC Act) identifies the following circumstances where an activity is likely to significantly affect threatened species:

(a) it is likely to significantly affect threatened species or ecological communities, or their habitats, according to the test in section 7.3, or

(c) it is carried out in a declared area of outstanding biodiversity value.

Each of these is addressed below.

Section 7.3 Test To determine whether an activity is likely to significantly affect threatened species or ecological communities, or their habitats, the following is to be taken into account in accordance with Section 7.3 of the BC Act:

(a) in the case of a threatened species, whether the proposed development or activity is likely to have an adverse effect on the life cycle of the species such that a viable local population of the species is likely to be placed at risk of extinction,

(b) in the case of an endangered ecological community or critically endangered ecological community, whether the proposed development or activity:

(i) is likely to have an adverse effect on the extent of the ecological community such that its local occurrence is likely to be placed at risk of extinction, or

(ii) is likely to substantially and adversely modify the composition of the ecological community such that its local occurrence is likely to be placed at risk of extinction,

(c) in relation to the habitat of a threatened species or ecological community:

(i) the extent to which habitat is likely to be removed or modified as a result of the proposed development or activity, and

(ii) whether an area of habitat is likely to become fragmented or isolated from other areas of habitat as a result of the proposed development or activity, and

(iii) the importance of the habitat to be removed, modified, fragmented or isolated to the long-term survival of the species or ecological community in the locality,

(d) whether the proposed development or activity is likely to have an adverse effect on any declared area of outstanding biodiversity value (either directly or indirectly),

(e) whether the proposed development or activity is or is part of a key threatening process or is likely to increase the impact of a key threatening process.

Comment: The proposed activity involves the upgrade works to a small portion of an existing road. It will not result in the removal of any existing trees and would have a minor impact on existing manicured lawn adjacent to the road. To ensure existing trees adjacent to the works are protected, protection measures are proposed during works. Therefore,


the proposed activity is not likely to significantly affect threatened species or ecological communities, or their habitats.

Declared Area of Outstanding Biodiversity Value The site is not mapped on the Biodiversity Value Map as being land with a high biodiversity value as defined by the BC Act (refer Figure 4).

4.6.3.2 Biodiversity Development Assessment Report / Species Impact Statement

As outlined in Section 4.6.3.1, the proposed development is not likely to significantly affect threatened species as defined by Section 7.2 of the BC Act. Therefore, a Biodiversity Development Assessment Report or a Species Impact Statement is not required to accompany the application for development consent.

4.7 Summary of Licences, Permits, Approvals and Notifications Specific approvals required for the construction, maintenance and operation of the proposed activity are outlined in the following table.

6 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT

6.1 Introduction This section of the report outlines the existing environment in which the activity is to be carried out.

6.2 Topography The land in the vicinity of the proposed works generally slopes from southeast to the northwest. Levels for the site are shown on the plans attached at Appendix B. The land on which the road is located and its immediate surrounds are generally flat with slightly steeper areas further out from the road.

6.3 Surrounding Land Uses The site is located within the Charles Sturt University Bathurst Campus. To the south east of Village Drive is the Chancellors Office, carparking and accommodation units. To the north west of Village Drive is the CD Blake Auditorium Gymnasium, a gravel carpark, playing fields and tennis, netball and basketball courts.

Plate 5 - CD Blake Auditorium Gymnasium


Plate 6 - Gravel carpark, playing fields and tennis, netball and basketball courts

Plate 7 - Chancellor’s Office


Plate 8 - Accommodation units

6.4 Geology & Soils The site is located within the Bathurst (ba) Soil Landscape as identified on the Soil Landscapes of the Bathurst 1:250 000 Sheet (Kovac, Murphy, & Lawrie, 1990). The Bathurst soil landscape is located on hills around Bathurst and has non-calcic brown soils with yellow solodic soils on the lower slopes and in drainage lines. Sands and mottled yellow solodic soils also occur (Kovac, Murphy, & Lawrie, 1990).

6.5 Groundwater A search of the Department of Primary Industries – Office of Water (DPI Water) All Groundwater website indicates there are no registered groundwater bores within 500m of the site. The nearest groundwater bore is on the Bathurst Ag Research Station on Research Station Drive (Lot 186 DP 750357). It is for stock purposes, has a standing water level of 12.5m and final depth of 48m.

6.6 Surface Water The site does not contain any permanent or ephemeral water courses. The nearest surface water to the site is an unnamed drainage line, which is approximately 320m north of the site.


6.7 Terrestrial Biodiversity The site has been largely cleared of vegetation and highly disturbed through previous land uses and fill material deposited on site. It currently comprises a bitumen road with grassed area/concrete footpath either side. A number of mature trees are located on the south eastern side of Village Drive adjacent to the accommodation buildings and carpark P1 (refer Plate 9) and on the north western side of Village Drive opposite carpark P1 (refer Plate 10). The works will not impact on any of the existing trees.

Given the nature of the existing environment it is unlikely to contain any threatened species, communities or their habitats.

Plate 9 - Existing vegetation adjacent to the accommodation buildings and carpark


Plate 10 - Existing vegetation opposite carpark P1

6.8 Aboriginal Heritage A search of the Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System (AHIMS) was undertaken for the site and its immediate surrounds. There are no known items of Aboriginal cultural heritage on or within the vicinity of the site. A copy of the AHIMS Search is provided in Appendix D.

The site has been heavily disturbed as a result of previous activities on site. Therefore, it is unlikely that any items of Aboriginal heritage significance would be located on site.

6.9 European Heritage The subject site is affected by one local heritage listing:

• Item I182 - Charles Sturt University and Agricultural Research Station (including dormitory block, administration block, Ponton Theatre, secretary’s residence, brick farm buildings, WWII building, and original farm and farm school buildings).

Figure 5 shows the location of the heritage item’s buildings in relation to the proposed works.

7 IMPACT ASSESSMENT

7.1 Introduction This section of the REF provides details on the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed activity. Aspects of the environment potentially impacted upon by the proposal will be considered in the following table. Consideration of the factors specified in the guidelines ‘Is an EIS required?’ (DUAP 1999) is undertaken as required under clause 228(1)(b) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations 2000. The factors specified under this clause are also considered in Section 4.3 of this report. Mitigation measures are provided to ameliorate identified potential impacts.

The significance criteria for impacts is described below:

• Adverse Impact - Impact is a major problem. The impacts of the project are likely to be important considerations due to extensive disturbance resulting in adverse environmental impacts. These impacts are of concern to the project, as it is expected that there will be permanent changes to the local topography. Depending upon the relative importance attached to the issue during the decision- making process, mitigation measures and detailed design work will not remove the impacts upon the affected project infrastructure. Residual impacts would predominate.

• Moderately Adverse - Impact is considered to be moderate. The impacts within the project area are likely to result in significant changes to features of the local environment. These impacts represent issues where adverse outcomes would be experienced but mitigation measures and detailed design work can ameliorate some of the consequences upon affected infrastructure. Some residual impacts would still arise. The cumulative impacts of such issues may lead to an increase in the overall impacts upon a particular area or on a particular resource and hence may become key decision-making issues.

• Low Adverse - Impact recognisable but acceptable. These impacts are likely to be important only on a local scale and are unlikely to be of significant importance in the decision-making process. These impacts are generally of relevance for enhancing the subsequent design of the project and in the consideration of mitigation measures.

• Negligible - Minimal change. No impacts or those which are beneath levels of perception within normal bounds or variation or within the margin of forecasting error.


7.2 Impact Assessment & Mitigation Measures The general environment of the project has been described in Section 6 of this report. The following table provides an analysis of all possible environmental impacts associated with the activity.

7.3 Future Implications & Cumulative Impacts Clause 228(2) of the EP&A Regulation requires that assessment of any cumulative environmental impacts with other existing or likely future activities be undertaken during the assessment process. Cumulative impacts arise from activities which may not be significant in their own right, yet when combined with similar activities over a broader scale, create a significant impact upon any factor of the environment.

Impacts arising from vegetation clearing, soil disturbance, erosion and sedimentation and noise and dust will be minimised through comprehensive site management as outlined in previous sections of this report. The cumulative impacts from vegetation removal has been considered as low to negligible and is deemed to be within acceptable limits given the nature of the project and available vegetation on surrounding lands and replacement planting.

The cumulative impact of ensuring the works are undertaken is beneficial to the local wider community through provision of public facilities. The proposal will also ensure access is maintained and improved for all users.

Preservable environmental impacts are assessed as being minor due to the nature of the works.


8 CONCLUSION

This REF has been prepared to assess the environmental impacts associated with the construction, operation and maintenance of the proposed road upgrade. CSU is a public authority for the purpose of being a determining authority as defined in the EP&A Act. As such, the activity does not require council consent under Part 4 of the EP&A Act. The activity is being assessed and approved under Part 5 of the EP&A Act.

The proposed activity will provide the upgrading of an existing private road within the Bathurst campus of CSU.

The proposal complies with the provisions of s.111 of the EP&A Act, cl.228 of the EP&A Regulation as shown in Section 4.

The proposal and its associated environmental impacts are unlikely to have a significant impact on the environment providing the recommended mitigation measures are employed. The road will provide for improved access for road users and improved management of stormwater on site. It would maximise social and economic benefits, whilst minimising any adverse environmental impacts. It is therefore considered suitable for approval.
