169 The local community would be advised in advance of traffic disruptions and 7.3
controls, noisy work activities eg. piling or rock breaking, construction of
temporary detours and work required outside the nominated working hours prior to
such works being undertaken.
254 Stabilised access point and site traffic – including establishing stabilised 6.1.1
access points, limiting the number of entry/exit points, keeping vehicles to
well defined haul roads and the use of grid or vehicle wash bays;

281 • Traffic management measures to account for the special needs of the equine 5.12 / 6 / 7.3
owners;

295 Approved traffic management plans will be developed in consultation with relevant 6.5
(Roads, Traffic government agencies, including Palerang Shire Council. These will form part of
& Transport) the CEMP and will be implemented throughout the construction period to regulate
traffic movements and speeds. All restrictions on traffic movements and traffic
speeds will only be in place for the duration of the construction period.

296 Road dilapidation surveys will be conducted on all public roads along the pipeline 5.3
alignment prior to and following the construction period. The development and
implementation of these surveys will be done in consultation with Palerang Shire
Council.

297 The construction of pump stations may require road closures of Angle Crossing 5.11
Road for short periods when, for example, large pieces of equipment such as the
pumps are being delivered and unloaded by crane. Such road closures will be a last
resort and will only be used when lane closures and traffic management will not be
adequate to ensure public safety. Traffic will be diverted via Tharwa Bridge.

When road closures are needed warning signs will be in place and the proponent
will provide adequate notice to the local community via advertising using a wide
range of media outlets in consultation with TAMS (Roads ACT).

298 As discussed in Section 6.11.10 it is proposed to open trench at the location the 5.10
pipeline crosses the Monaro Highway.
This will require part road closure during daytime construction hours. One lane
will remain open at all times and will be managed through appropriate traffic
control and warning. Both lanes of the Monaro Highway will be open in the
evening.

299 (Monaro HWY) - It is proposed that the crossing be undertaken using an open 5.10
trench method of construction. This will involve a part road closure

BULK WATER ALLIAN

during construction hours (managed by appropriate traffic control). The trench will
be covered outside of construction hours, and both lanes of the Monaro Highway
re-opened to traffic.
300 Trenching and pipe laying work will occur along Williamsdale Road during the 6.4 / 6.5
construction period. To ensure the safety of all road users, traffic control
measures would be in place at all times.

301 Regular users of the affected areas of Wiliamsdale Road will be consulted on the 5.11 / 7
proposed dates for closure prior to formal application to Palerang Shire Council for
the closure. Should the closure of Williamsdale Road be required, the potential
associated impacts on the Monaro Highway will be discussed with TAMS (Roads
ACT) and the National Capital Authority.
Lane closure does not require the complete closure of Williamsdale Road and will
be managed with traffic control devices…
…Tight working conditions on Williamsdale Road may mean that to ensure public
safety, a short section of the road will need to be closed when trenching and
pipelaying is taking place within the road reservation.

302 Arrangements will be made with property owners to ensure access to their 7.3
properties is possible at all times.

303 Vehicular access to properties will be maintained, either by keeping one lane 5.12
open or through the use of diversions and/or by use of steel plates over
sections of the pipe trench.

304 Arrangements will be made with property owners to ensure access to their 7.3/5.12
properties is possible at all times…

… Disruption to private property access will be minimised for the duration of the
construction works and access will be restored and maintained at each property as
soon as practicable as work moves along the pipeline corridor;

305 It is intended that Williamsdale Road will be open to traffic outside of construction 5.11
working hours.

306 The community will be notified prior to any scheduled closure of Williamsdale 5.11 / 7.3
Road and appropriate signage will inform the community of construction times and
alternate routes during those times.

307 The implementation and maintenance of these traffic control measures in 6.4 / 6.5
accordance with approved Traffic Management Plans will mitigate the impact of
the pipeline construction on traffic.

308 Williamsdale Road/Burra Road. The steep approach to the Burra Road intersection 5.6.2 / 6.5
restricts sight distance at the intersection and the additional traffic during the
construction phase will add to the risk of collisions. For safety reasons, it is
recommended that minimal stopping times be introduced for vehicles transporting
horses along Williamsdale and Burra Roads. In addition, a stop sign is
recommended to address the risk of Williamsdale Road traffic turning onto Burra
Road.

309 Outlet structure access road/Burra Road The proposed access road is located about 5.6.2 / 6.5
20 m south of the bridge over Burra Creek. At this location the embankment to the
south and the bridge rail to the north may limit sight distance for traffic entering
Burra Road. This should be addressed in the CEMP Traffic Management Sub-
Plan.
310 Mitigation measures will be in place to minimise the impact of construction works 5.3 / 5.8
on road surfaces and regular discussions will be held between the proponent,
Roads ACT and Palerang Shire Council regarding maintenance work.

311 Particular attention needs to be given to management of traffic during peak traffic 5.10 / 5.6
periods on Monaro Highway such as the ski season when traffic volumes increase
significantly.

312 The proponent will remedy this situation by widening the pavement to allow a 5.8
dedicated right turn lane from the Monaro Highway into Angle Crossing Road.

313 Appropriate traffic control devices will be installed during the construction period 6.5
in accordance with approved CEMP Traffic Management Plan.

314 Consultation with local riding groups will aim to minimise any impact on 4.2.6 / 7.3
equestrian activities and ensure the safety of horses and riders. It is recommended
that road signage warning of horse riders in the area be regularly maintained and/or
replaced as necessary.

315 During the construction period roads along the pipeline route will remain open to 6.9
emergency vehicles or other vehicles responding to emergency situations.
Procedures to improve the speed and efficiency with which safe passage can be
provided, such as early notice by emergency vehicles of the need for access, will
be included in the Emergency Response Plan prepared in consultation with
emergency services.

316 The pipeline will cross a number of property accesses. Detours will be set up at 5.12
these locations to ensure that access is maintained.

317 There will be temporary impacts on the Goulburn to Cooma Railway (Michelago 5.9
Tourist Railway), which is currently not in use due to structural deficiencies with
timber culverts. The railway line will be removed for construction of the pipeline
and then reinstated. Consultation with ARTC and the Australian Railway
Historical Society (ACT) will be undertaken to ensure that appropriate procedures
are in place to minimise impacts on the line.

318 In addition, the location of the proposed access road for the outlet structure may 5.6.2
not provide sufficient sight distance for traffic entering Burra Road.
Further assessment of the intersection will be undertaken as part of the traffic
management sub-plan and the appropriate mitigation measures will be put in
place to manage potential construction risks and impacts

319 • A traffic management sub-plan will be prepared as part of the CEMP, with 6.4 / 6.5
detailed measures in accordance with Australian Standard AS 1742.3:2002

on roads, including:
– Signage on Monaro Highway and Burra Road warning of trucks entering Angle
Crossing Road and Williamsdale Road;
– Management of construction traffic where traffic flow is affected by the
construction pipeline and in particular at locations where the pipeline crosses
the road or is located along and within the road reserve;
– Advance warning signs redirecting traffic to Tharwa Bridge for any
closure of the Angle Crossing Road causeway;
– Reduced speed limits on Burra Road on the approaches to Williamsdale Road
intersection to moderate the risk of collisions;
– Strategies to address the limited sight distance at proposed access road to the
outlet structure on Burra Road;
– Detours to be set up where the pipeline crosses property accesses. Where
possible, all property access crossings will be completed in one day, with any open
trenches covered overnight; and
– Early warnings about road or lane closures will be undertaken . Should the
closure of Williamsdale be required the impact there-off on the Monaro Highway
will be discussed with TAMS (Roads ACT) and the National Capital Authority.

320 Grading of Angle Crossing Road and unsealed sections of Williamsdale Road will 5.12
be undertaken where the construction works have disturbed the road pavement.;

321 Any damage to road surfaces that result from the preferred project will be repaired 5.3
at the expense of the proponent;

322 As an example of public benefits resulting from the upstream outlet cost savings, 5.8.2
ACTEW is working closely with Palerang Shire Council to fund the upgrading and
sealing a section of Williamsdale Road at Gibraltar Hill.
Survey and design work have been completed, and road widening land acquisition
negotiations are underway by the Council. The land proposed to be acquired will
be sufficient to include a bridle path or “greenway” along this section of road. This
work will significantly improve road safety at this location. Any extension of
ACTEW’s current funding commitments to cover the road construction will be
conditional on planning agency approval of the water transfer project.

affected stakeholders, including emergency services, by media, letter,
email, telephone or personal approach as may be appropriate to
individual circumstances.
A detailed plan for restoration of Angle Crossing would be developed to improve
the amenity and facilities of the area.

2 Introduction
2.1 Background
The Murrumbidgee to Googong (M2G) Water Transfer is one of the recommended options for delivering improved
security to the water supply for the ACT and region. It involves pumping water from the Murrumbidgee River (within
the ACT) and transferring it via a 12km pipeline to Burra Creek (in NSW), from where it would flow for approximately
13km to the Googong Reservoir.
This plan has been designed to address client expectations and requirements, and adequately address risks and
stakeholder concerns. The BWA is committed to providing the services it offers in a manner that conforms to the
contractual requirements and to all relevant regulatory and legislative requirements.
The BWA will ensure that the controls are properly implemented and are regularly monitored and audited to assess their
effectiveness. Changes to the stipulated controls will be instigated if they are not achieving their objectives.
The project comprises the following key features:

Table 2.1 Key features of the M2G pipeline project

Infrastructure Description

Intake/low lift pump station The intake/low lift pump station will comprise a concrete box structure built into the
riverbank. The low lift pump station will include a screen, grit collection and removal,
pumps and valves and filtration to prevent fish transfer.
High lift pump station The pump station will pump water to a high point at Gibraltar Range, from where it will
run under gravity to the discharge point. The high lift pump station will consist of a
building enclosing a pump hall and electrical services and an amenities area.

Pipeline The pipeline will transfer the water from the low lift pump station to the high lift pump
station, then onto the outlet structure. It will be constructed of 1016 mm diameter steel pipe.
The pipeline will be approximately 12 km long, with the pipe located approximately 1.8 m
to 4 m below ground level. Air valves and scour valves will be located at regular intervals
along the pipeline to provide pressure relief and to allow cleaning.

Outlet structure The outlet structure will take the form of a weir box arrangement located on the bank of
Burra Creek. It will comprise a rectangular concrete box approximately 12 m along the
creek bank with a 250 mm grated opening along the west bank of Burra Creek. Water will
flow into the weir box from the pipeline and will discharge over the weir and run down the
creek bank to the creek, which flows to Googong Reservoir. This method of discharge is
designed to minimise scouring of the creek bed near the outlet.

Electric power supply The electrical infrastructure will comprise a 132 kV/11 kV substation in Williamsdale
and a single 11 kV cable to the high lift pump station.

Mini-hydro power Electricity provided by the grid will be supplemented by electricity generated by a mini-
generator hydro electric power facility which will be constructed as part of the project.

 2.2 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to outline the traffic control management for the Murrumbidgee to Googong (M2G)
project and assist onsite personnel in understanding and delivering on project specific traffic procedures and their
responsibilities within the Traffic Management Plan (TMP). It seeks to identify key issues relevant to the various
stakeholders and to wherever practicable eliminate or reduce those key issues, hazards and associated risks inherent
with managing and controlling vehicle movements on the site and surrounds.

This document identifies project access points and the local road network. The plan also addresses all vehicle
movement issues raised in the conditions of approval set down by NSW Department of Planning and ACT Planning and
Land Authority.

2.3 Objectives
The objectives of the TMP are:
• To document existing local traffic conditions, measure impact of additional construction traffic and
implementation of appropriate mitigation measures;
• Control of vehicles movements within the Murrumbidgee to Googong Water Transfer project works boundary of
affected areas in accordance with the specifications and requirements of this management plan;
• To go beyond a culture of business as usual (compliance) by demonstrating excellence in traffic control
management;
• To comply with EIS / DA (ACT), EA (NSW) and PER (Commonwealth) commitments and conditions of
approval;
• To minimise complaints from individual landowners / leaseholders and the community relating to traffic control
management;
• Outline strategies to safely implement public management during construction relating to vehicular and
pedestrian movements;
• To prevent the spread of noxious weeds and the dispersal of alien plant and animal species with appropriate
traffic control management;
• To reinstate local road networks to their original condition, if required;
• To ensure erosion control measures are installed in erosion prone areas;
• To consult with individual landowners and relevant stakeholders to incorporate their feedback during
development and implementation of the TMP; and,
• Ensure that landowners, community members, and other stakeholders are kept informed of any traffic changed traffic
conditions and notified if of any impacts to access particularly to properties and premises near the construction
corridor.

2.4 Performance goals

• Compliance with all ACT, NSW and Commonwealth legislative requirements relating to traffic control
management;

 5 Existing road infrastructure and Construction
interface
5.1 Road network
Figure 4.1 shows the road network in the vicinity of the pipeline route. The pipeline crosses Angle Crossing Road,
Monaro Highway, Williamsdale Road, Badgery Road, and Burra Road.
The Monaro Highway connects Canberra and Cooma and is a major transport link for destinations south of Canberra.
Angle Crossing Road is an unsealed road that crosses the Murrumbidgee River near the ACT/NSW border. It
intersects the Monaro Highway about 2.5 km from the river crossing. The intersection with Monaro Highway is sealed
and line-marked. Angle Crossing Road crosses the Murrumbidgee River as a causeway and is the southernmost
crossing of the river in the ACT, providing a low level access to the Monaro Highway for residents of the village of
Tharwa and for tourists. Tharwa Bridge at Tharwa and Point Hut Crossing are more frequently used as crossing points.
Williamsdale Road is unsealed for most of its length. The section between Monaro Highway and Knowles Lane is
sealed and the section between Macdiarmid road and its intersection with Burra Road is also sealed. Williamsdale Road
is about 6 km long between Monaro Highway and Burra Road. Its function is primarily to provide access to properties.
There is a single lane low level bridge on Williamsdale Road near its intersection with Burra Road. The grade
approaching Williamsdale/Burra Road intersection is steep.
Badgery Road and Macdiarmid Roads are both no-through-roads that provide access to properties.
Macdiarmid Road is a sealed two lane two-way collector road that provides access for several rural
properties and is lightly trafficked. Macdiarmid road intersects Williamsdale road at a T-Junction.
Burra Road is a sealed road; to the north of Williamsdale Road is connects to Queanbeyan via Old Cooma Road and
to the south of Williamsdale Road is connects to the Monaro Highway at Michelago.
Appendix A contains photos of existing road conditions.

5.2 Existing Traffic conditions

Traffic flows
Roads ACT and Queanbeyan City Council provided traffic count data for a number of roads in the preferred project
area to assist in the traffic assessment. The data is summarised in Table 2.1 The traffic counts for Monaro Highway in
June are representative of normal traffic flows and do not include ski traffic.

5.3 Road Dilapidation Surveys

Road dilapidation surveys will be conducted on all public roads along the pipeline alignment prior to and
following the construction period. The development and implementation of these surveys will be done in
consultation with Palerang Shire Council and ACT Roads as per NSW and ACT approval conditions.
Appendix A contains photos of existing road conditions.
Surveys will be conducted on impacted roads which include gravel depth measurements, photographic and video
reference;
 Angle Crossing Road – From Monaro Highway to the eastern side of the Murrumbidgee river crossing
 Monaro Highway – From 200m north of Williamsdale Road intersection to 200m south of the pipe
crossing
 Williamsdale Road – From Monaro Highway to Burra Road
 Low level bridge on Williamsdale Road
 Burra Road – 100m each direction from Williamsdale Road intersection
 Others – All roads along Williamsdale Road that the Pipeline passes through will be surveyed 100m each side
of pipeline centre line
The dilapidation survey undertaken at the completion of the construction will be consistent with the survey completed
at the start of the project. A comparison will identify areas that may require rectification works as a result of the
construction impacts to roads from construction activities. With the relevant authorities’ approval, the Alliance will
repair the identified areas.

5.4 Works Boundary Plan

The purpose of the Works Boundary Plan is to outline the mitigation measures required when setting out the
Murrumbidgee to Googong Water Transfer project site in accordance with the planning approvals. In accordance with
the Project Alliance Agreement (PAA) Clause 16.5 the Works Boundary Plan states:
The Alliance must develop and maintain at all times a Works Boundary Plan which specifies the
boundaries of the Active Work Site for each Project at any time during the Program from the
purpose of clause 10, this clause 16 and clause 28. The plan and all updates to the plan must be
submitted to the APMT for agreement in accordance with clause 8.
BWA-M2G-SY-PLN-001 Works Boundary Plan details the construction boundary of the Murrumbidgee to Googong
Water Transfer project site. Access to this plan is undertaken electronically via ‘Lotus Notes’ on the Bulk Water
Alliance network or hard copies may be printed where this access is not available but shall be marked ‘Uncontrolled

 5.5 Assignment of Construction Traffic
The major routes taken by construction traffic to access the site are assumed to be:
• Monaro Highway/ Angle Crossing Road for equipment and materials delivered from Canberra to LLPS, HLPS
and the section of the pipeline west of Monaro Highway as well as workforce and visitors to these locations;
• Monaro Highway/ Williamsdale Road for equipment and materials delivered from Canberra to the section of the
pipeline east of Monaro Highway and a proportion of workers and visitors;
• Burra Road/ Williamsdale Road for equipment and materials delivered from Queanbeyan and a proportion of
workers or visitors; and
• Angle Crossing Road, Monaro Highway and Williamsdale Road for the haulage of materials off-site.
Based on these route assumptions, the heavy vehicle was assigned to the various roads as shown in Table 5.3 below.
This represents the expected maximum traffic volume during the construction period.

Austroads defines level of service as a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream.
The term Level of Service (LOS) and its characteristics for rural roads is defined above in Table 4.3/
5.6.2 Impact on Roads
Table 4.4 below summarises the existing traffic volumes and estimated additional traffic during construction.

* VPD – Vehicles Per Day

Monaro Highway
The additional construction traffic on Monaro Highway represents an increase in the daily traffic of between 5% and
8%. This relatively small increase in traffic can be easily accommodated at the existing Level of Service C. LOS C is
described as “stable flow but most drivers are restricted to some extent in their freedom to select their desired
speed”. (RTA Guide to Traffic Generating Developments, Vers 2.2, 2002).

Angle Crossing Road

Angle Crossing Road is lightly trafficked so that the impact of the construction traffic is relatively substantial.
However the increased traffic volume due to the project is less than 1100 VPD, the threshold for LOS A, where free
and unrestricted traffic flow can be expected.
Angle Crossing Road crosses the Murrumbidgee River via a causeway. This is wide enough for only a single stream
of traffic.
The construction of pumping stations may require road closures of Angle Crossing Road for short periods during
delivery of large items of equipment. Such closures should only be used when other measures such as lane closures
and traffic management would not be adequate to ensure public safety. Adequate notice of closures will be provided
and warning signs placed advising of alternative routes to cross the river.

Williamsdale Road
Williamsdale Road carries more traffic than Angle Crossing Road but is also considered to be lightly trafficked. The
increased traffic volume due to construction is below 1100 VPD and therefore the road would continue to operate LOS
A or B described by Austroads as very good.
Williamsdale Road will be realigned between CH 8800 and CH 9160 to remove several tight horizontal curves. The
pipeline will run parallel to and south of the realigned road.
Williamsdale Road crosses Burra Creek near its intersection with Burra Road. This is a single-lane low-level crossing
and subject to flooding. The vertical alignment of Williamsdale Road across the creek and approaching Burra Road is
constructed to a minimal standard (refer Photos 13 and 14 in Appendix A) with very limited sight distances at the
intersection. This section of Williamsdale Road and its intersection with Burra Road will need to be carefully
controlled to safely accommodate the additional traffic during construction. The introduction of a temporary stop sign
for vehicles exiting Williamsdale Road will be proposed in the Traffic Control Plan for the area.
The load rating of the bridge structure is will be determined. Construction loads will be restricted to ensure that this
is not exceeded.

BULK WATER ALLIANCE

Burra Road
Deliveries for the construction of the mini-hydro facility will be directed to use Burra Road to travel north to Canberra and
Queanbeyan rather than Williamsdale Road.

5.7 Closures and public areas

The Murrumbidgee River is a popular area for locals to undertake recreational activities.
To ensure the safety of the public and employees the Angle Crossing Beach will be closed during the works in this
area. This included the carpark on the right side of Angle Crossing Road East of Murrumbidgee River Crossing.
In compensation for the closure of this Recreational area – Tharwa Sandwash Recreational area will be upgraded. These
works will be completed in conjunction with PLC requirements and approvals.
In order to achieve the construction requirements along this river area, the following areas will be closed to the public
for the duration of the construction period, signage will be in place:
 Murrumbidgee River: Closed along the Eastern side of the river.
 Carpark and Toilet Facilities at River: Closed
 Walking Tracks: As required.

5.8 Road upgrades and Repairs

5.8.1 Monaro Highway and Angle Crossing Road Intersection
As part of the initial start up phase of the M2G project the intersection at Monaro Highway and Angle Crossing Road
will be upgraded. These works will be done outside of the ski season and conducted in accordance with approved
traffic control plans.
5.8.2 Williamsdale Road (Gibraltar Hill)
Williamsdale Road at Gibraltar Hill has been identified to require preliminary works prior to the installation of the
pipeline in the road reserve in this area. The Alliance has been working closely with Palerang Council to fund the
upgrading and sealing of this road in this area.
5.8.3 Repairs
All road defects found within the construction area shall be immediately notified to the relevant authority and
arrangements made to have the defect repaired. Regular/scheduled road maintenance will be coordinated between the
M2G project and authorities whenever there is an interface.

5.9 Goulburn to Cooma Railway

Initial consultation was undertake with the Australian Railway Historical Society (ARHS) regarding the methodology
for crossing the Goulburn to Cooma Railway line, however as of the 12 June 2010 ARHS were not renewing the
licence for operation of the Queanbeyan to Michelago section of the line. As such the consultation for this work was
continued with Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC).

ARTC have informed the Alliance that the railway line is no longer in use and the construction of the pipeline will not
affect any ARTC assets.

The methodology for the works within the Rail Corridor (BWA-M2G-CO-RPT-005) was submitted to ARTC, and
with some modifications to be implemented. The methodology was approved in principal on 11 August 2010. The
plan and associated drawings are required to be updated and issued to ARTC for final approval.

M2G TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

BWA-M2G-CO-PLN-002 31
 5.10 Monaro Highway
The pipeline crosses the Monaro Highway south of Angle Crossing Road. The methodology for the construction of the
pipe in this area (BWA-M2G-CO-RPT-004) has been submitted and approved by TAMS and the NCA (Refer
Appendix C).

5.11 Road Closures

During the construction phase of the project, all endeavours will be taken to minimise any required road closures. If
road closures are required, adequate community notice will be provided to identified stakeholders with details of the
road closure and detour details provided. This is only to be undertaken in consultation with the relevant authority’s
approval and per the relevant Traffic Control Plan. The application for road closure must be submitted at least one
month prior to the proposed closure.
If a road closure is required, the Alliance will make every endeavour to re-open the road outside of construction
working hours. If this is not possible the Alliance will make every effort to minimise the duration of the closure.

5.12 General
The Alliance will, as a minimum, ensure:
 Vehicular access to properties will be maintained at all times; the method of achieving this will be agreed
with each property owner. Possible solutions include keeping one lane open, and the use of steel road plates
to span over the pipeline trench.
 That the pipeline will be fenced to prevent livestock from straying close to operating plant
 All traffic changes must consider the impact to equine tracks and local equine groups, emergency vehicles,
pedestrians and the general public.
 Where the pipeline crosses a road, the pipeline will be installed with suitable construction techniques to ensure
the current traffic conditions can be maintained.
 The road where the pipeline crosses must be restored to original (or better) condition.
 Delivery drivers and plant operators engaged on the project will be educated on the importance of not
unnecessarily frightening livestock that may wander close to the pipe line corridor and of being vigilant of
possible stock on the local roads

BULK WATER ALLIANCE

32 SEPTEMBER 2010
6 Traffic Controls and Mitigation Measures
The Project Team will implement a traffic management system that will ensure the safe movement of traffic, for the
community including equine owners, local residents, nearby landowners and construction traffic to pass through and
pass by the construction site. Where Traffic Control Plans (TCP) are required, these will be prepared by a suitably
qualified person/subcontractor in accordance with the relevant standards and legislation in NSW and ACT.
The following sections will detail the controls to be implemented in order to achieve this safety standard.

6.1 Access to Construction site and Project site offices

6.1.1 Project Site Access Points
The M2G Site will have a limited number of access points or gates to allow entry and exit of construction traffic.
These entry points will be identified by a numbering system (eg. GATE 1) that will be displayed at each access point
and detailed on the Project Site Plan. This identification system will allow access points to be communicated
effectively.
These access points will be well established to allow safe access and egress in all weather conditions. They also may
include wheel washes and grids for the purpose of controlling weeds
6.1.2 Heavy Vehicle Traffic Routes
Deliveries to site make up a large portion of the heavy vehicle movements on the local road. It will be necessary to
traverse both Angle Crossing Road between Monaro Highway and the river and Williamsdale Road to deliver
construction equipment and materials such as pipe, quarry products and concrete along the route and to the pumping
stations.
The primary access route for deliveries will be via the Monaro Highway turning into either Williamsdale Road or
Angle Crossing Road. The secondary access routes being via Burra Road into Williamsdale Road will be used for
deliveries at the eastern end of the construction corridor. This will avoid traversing the full distance along
Williamsdale Road. Heavy deliveries via Smiths Road to Angle Crossing will be limited by the load limit of the bridge
at Tharwa, the steep grades of Smiths Road being difficult and the water crossing at the causeway.
6.1.3 Site Office
Access to the Main Project Site Office will be via Angles Crossing Road. A designated visitor and staff parking and
unloading area will be established. All personnel will be required to go to the Main Project Site Office prior to entering
site.
6.1.4 Light vehicles and parking
During the peak production period of the M2G project it is estimated that approximately 150 project personnel will be
involved. A number of measures will be implemented to minimise the impact on the local road network. These
measures have allowed us to reduce the estimated number of light vehicles on the local road network from those
estimated in the EIS, as can be seen in figure above.
A car park will be constructed onsite as part off the initial site compound setup to accommodate all project parking.
Employees will then be transported to, from and around work areas by project site vehicles.
6.1.5 Internal traffic movements

Vehicles movements within the Pipeline Construction Right of Way (RoW) will be managed with signage, barricades,
and in some instances, local traffic controllers. As these vehicles enter onto public road, traffic control plans will be in
place.
The other major contributor to construction traffic will be the haul vehicles transporting excavated rock to the Material
Stockpile Sites.

M2G TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

BWA-M2G-CO-PLN-002 33
 These vehicles will haul to either an offsite location, or a nominated and approved stockpile location. All construction
vehicles to be on any haul road must be fitted with flashing amber lights. Signs informing construction vehicles of the
appropriate two-way radio frequency will be erected along the Construction Haul Roads.
To communicate and coordinate vehicle movements within the internal road network road advisory signs and UHF
radios will be used. Vehicle operators will be required to obey all signage and drive to suit the conditions at the time. In
additional to standard road rules project specific rules particularly when working around operational heavy vehicles
must be followed, these include:
 Licensed drivers only.
 Max speed on site 40km/hr unless signposted otherwise.
 All drivers to be site inducted or escorted when onsite.
 Obey all road signage.
 Light vehicles giving way to heavy plant at all times.
 Heavy vehicles only and light vehicles road must be clearly marked, sign posted and obeyed.
 Haulage roads must be clearly defined and provide adequate warning and stop signs for light vehicle crossings.
 When approaching operational heavy vehicles UHF contact with operator must be made so presence is noted
prior to entering operational area.

6.2 Blasting Closures

If blasting is required it will be conducted between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. Appropriate measures shall be
taken to ensure that the exclusion zone is cleared of all people prior to blasting and may require short term closures of
access roads. The exclusion zone shall be monitored to ensure that it is clear until after the blast and the all clear is
given by the shot firer.
Refer to ‘BWA-M2G-CO-PLN-005 ‘Blasting Management Plan’ for further detail.

6.3 Shared Roads Policy

A ‘Shared Roads Policy’ has been developed outlining responsibility of all road users to uphold the highest standard of
behaviour and the rights of all user groups to use the local road network. Residents, public road users and the workforce
will be educated about the ‘Shared Roads Policy’ and their responsibilities under it.
The education process for the workforce will occur during toolbox and education sessions held weekly on the M2G
project. Affected residents and stakeholders will be educated through letter drops and community consultation including
information sessions and one-on-one consultations. The public road user will be educated through road side signs erected
on the Angle Crossing and Williamsdale Roads. The shared road signs will highlight the ‘Shared Roads Policy’ and
where the document can be viewed online. The signs will also display the community complaints number for reporting
any incidents of unacceptable behaviour. The community hotline phone number for the M2G project is (02)6248 3563
and email [email protected]. Information will also be provided via the ACTEW website www.actew.com.au.
A copy of this policy can be found in Appendix E.

6.4 Set-up of Traffic Management Controls and signage

The sequence for erection and removal of traffic control signs and devices is as per the RTA Traffic Control at
Worksites Manual Section 3.4. A Task Risk Assessment (TRA) will be produced detailing the method to safely set-up
the traffic controls prior to commencement of the works.

6.6 Construction deliveries / Project deliveries procedure

The majority of the construction traffic for the Project will be for the delivery of materials. This includes but is not
limited to:
Pipework Concrete
Reinforcement
Plant / Machinery

37
M2G TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
BWA-M2G-CO-PLN-002
 Formwork
Sand and Gravel
The delivery of materials has the potential to interrupt traffic flow if the delivery driver(s) do not know where on the
Project they are required to deliver their materials to; therefore, a Project Deliveries Instruction Sheet will be developed
to ensure that all construction deliveries are aware of Project Rules and know where their materials are to be delivered.
The Project Deliveries Instruction Sheet and Site Map are to be issued to suppliers upon placement of an order for
materials or equipment.

6.7 Construction Traffic along ACT / NSW Roads

# A trip is defined as one-way i.e. either to or from the site

There will be several crews working simultaneously along the pipeline alignment at any given time. As a result, heavy
vehicle movements will occur on a regular basis during normal construction hours (7 am to 6 pm Mondays to Fridays
and 8 am and 1 pm on Saturdays). Generally, no work is proposed on Sundays or public holidays. There may be
infrequent times when work will need to happen outside of these hours. For example, some after hours delivery of
oversized equipment may be required. Wherever practicable the community will be notified prior to any out of hours
heavy vehicle movements.
As many of the construction activities will occur at different times, an estimate of the peak heavy vehicle traffic
movements was made as shown in Table 5.2 below. It is assumed that deliveries of concrete and reinforcement
deliveries will not be concurrent with structural and mechanical equipment deliveries.

 If an emergency requires the need for immediate temporary traffic management then the standard RTA TCP846 (see
Appendix B) will be adopted. This TCP has been selected as it will apply to the 2 way undivided carriageway roads in
and around the Project. The signage required to set-up this TCP will be readily available for use in emergency
situations.
In the case of traffic accidents involving the travelling public (vehicular or pedestrian) either witnessed or reported,
from which legal proceedings might arise, the following actions will be completed:
 Gather work records, diary entries, traffic control check sheets and audits;
 Record the actual type, size and location of signs and devices in use at the time of the accident. Details of
the pavement width, its condition and weather conditions should also be recorded;
 Notify Council as soon as possible; and
 Take photographs of the sign arrangement for subsequent reporting.
A record shall be kept of any traffic accident including any relevant information on traffic arrangements used and
completed using form NSW-2F-117A – Traffic Accident Record.
If incidents are required to be reported to WorkCover, Section 6.2 of the RTA Traffic Control at Work Sites Manual
will apply. All personnel will adhere to BWA’s incident reporting process (flowchart in BWA Emergency Management
Plan – BWA-PRW-PD-PLN-004).

7 Community & Stakeholder Consultation
7.1 Community Engagement and Stakeholder Management
Close community liaison will be maintained to ensure that local residents are aware of the times and durations when
they may be affected by construction work and to provide an avenue for communication between the community and
the Bulk Water Alliance.
All communication and consultation will be undertaken in accordance with the project Community Engagement and
Stakeholder Management (CESM) Plan. The CESM Manager is responsible for the interface with the community. This
includes (but is not limited to) notification of construction activity, notification of temporary road closures, community
engagement regarding construction (including soil and water related activities) and the complaints process. The CESM
Manager reports to the M2G Client representative whilst working in conjunction with the M2G Project Manager, M2G
Construction Manager, Site Superintendent, M2G Environmental Manager and Project Engineers.
In addition, consultation with government agencies will be undertaken regularly as described in the CEMP with the
intention of reviewing the effectiveness of the TMP, site management practices, monitoring results and any other
relevant issues.

M2G TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
BWA-M2G-CO-PLN-002
 • A protocol for registering and responding to complaints will be
established as detailed in the Complaints Management Procedure and
CESM Management Plan.

7.2 Complaints management strategy

The Bulk Water Alliance is committed to managing traffic management related complaints from affected residents or
stakeholders in a proactive and conciliatory manner. As such complaints management for the BWA is managed through
the Water Security Major Projects Complaints Management Procedure,(ACTEW 2010).
Relevant community and stakeholder groups will be progressively informed of the various stages of construction by the
Community Engagement and Stakeholder Management (CESM) team, particularly prior to significant construction
generating activities related to soil and water management.
The community and stakeholder groups identified in the CESM Plan will be informed of the duration of the works, what
impacts that they are likely to expect and they will be given a 1800 toll free number to contact the BWA CESM team
should they wish to register a complaint regarding any aspect of the construction project, not just soil and/or water
related impacts.
The BWA CESM team will implement a process for registering and responding to the lodged complaint as per the
Complaints Management Procedure. The CESM Manager will report back to the project team on impact and mitigation
effectiveness on a weekly basis.
The Water Security Hotline phone number (6248 3563) is available during business hours for general questions, project
updates and to provide feedback. A toll free number (1800 211 242) is available 24 hours a day for emergencies.
Complaints and comments can also be sent via email to [email protected].

7.3 Stakeholder management

It is a goal of the Alliance to minimise the impact of the construction works on the community and property owners,
the Community Engagement Stakeholder Management (CESM) Plan will provide details of how the communication
between the Alliance and each owner will be established for the duration of the project. The following issues will be
covered:
Negotiate with Property owners to ensure they have access to their property at all times.
Disruption to private property access will be minimised for the duration of the construction works, and access will
be restored and maintained at each property as soon as practicable as works moves along the pipeline corridor.
Communication with private property owners regarding the potential impact of traffic changes with regards to live
stock safety.
Communication protocol to advise community of traffic disruptions / changes and potential impacts.
Communication with local equine group regarding road closures or changes that will impact them.

8 Training Awareness and Competence
Three main forms of training will be implemented on site:
• site induction;
• “toolbox” training
Records of all site inductions and on site training will be kept on a database, including details of the training topic(s)
presented, participants and training dates. All participants will be required to “sign-off” that they have been informed
and understand their obligations at the conclusion of each training session.
Training will generally be prepared and delivered by Construction personnel, or by personnel delegated by the
Construction Manager.

8.1 Site Induction

Prior to working on site, all personnel and subcontractors will undertake a site induction detailing significant
environmental, construction and OHS requirements associated with the M2G project. The will include, but not be
limited to, the following environmental components:
• Legal requirements including due diligence, duty of care and potential consequences of infringements;
• Environmental responsibilities;
• Conditions of licences, permits and approvals;
• BWA policies (including the Shared Road Policy);
• Incident management and emergency plans; and,
• Reporting process for environmental harm/incidents.

8.1.1 Toolbox Training

Toolbox training will help to ensure that relevant information is communicated to the workforce and that feedback can
be provided on issues of interest or concern. Toolbox training will generally be prepared and delivered by the Project
Engineers, Superintendent, Site Foreman and/or the Environmental Officer and will reflect risks and concerns
associated with construction Activities occurring on site.
The Toolboxes will complement the TMP by providing additional details on the management and mitigation of
identified impacts. Toolbox training topics may include but are not limited to:
• Traffic Management along Pipeline Construction Easement
• Traffic Management at Low Lift Pump Station
• Traffic Management at Hight Lift Pump Station
