10. Communication

10.1 Communication Overview

Communication with stakeholders in relation to construction noise and vibration impacts is described in the main works Communication and Consultation Plan (CCP).

A summary of Community and Business Liaison Group (CLG) and Independent Peer Review (IPR) feedback relevant to this CNV DWP will be maintained in Appendix E.

As a minimum, the following communication shall be undertaken:

Written notification will be provided to all property occupiers within 100m of a worksite to raise awareness of the CRL project, the required construction works and the duration in their vicinity. This will be undertaken at least 10 working days prior to the commencement of works on site. The Link Alliance’s Communications and Engagement Advisor will provide monthly updates of monitoring and early work progress to affected parties. The Communications and Engagement Advisor will advise any affected parties of construction activities that are predicted or have been identified by the Acoustics Specialist to exceed the limits in Section 4 following the application of BPO mitigation identified in Section 9. The Communications and Engagement Advisor shall undertake communications with MediaWorks for their studios at 3 Flower St and 71 Boston Road in accordance with designation Condition 16, unless agreed in their SSCNVMPs in Appendices C1 and C24. The Communications and Engagement Advisor shall address any concerns and complaints regarding construction noise and vibration in accordance with Section 10. When discussing vibration concerns, it is important to convey that vibration can be felt at levels far below those that pose even the smallest risk of building damage. Startle caused by blasting will be mitigated through communicating exactly when blasts will occur (e.g. 10am and 2pm) and having an audible countdown sequence. The Communications and Engagement Advisor will provide occupants of buildings within 100m of blasting at least 24 hours’ notice.

Identification of sources of concern, and measuring or estimating noise and/or vibration levels at the time of the complaint; A hotline phone/text number shall be established to receive complaints. Acknowledge receipt of the concern or complaint. An initial response shall be undertaken within 24 hours of receiving a complaint and resolved as soon practicable.

If a complaint is received about vibration amenity, and a measurement demonstrates exceedance of the Project vibration limits, the following procedures will be implemented:

Further measurements may be required to determine the extent of the exceedance and identify the activity/activities responsible; Review the mitigation strategy and construction methodology to ensure BPO is applied; Further measurements may be required to determine the effectiveness of BPO measures and reassess the compliance status; Determine if the receiver qualifies for a SSCNVMP (Sections 4.1.2 and 4.2.3); and The Senior Stakeholder and Communications Manager parties (Section 10.2). shall liaise with affected
