EMERGENCY ACCESS
ID Management and Mitigation Measure Responsibility Inspection/ Timing Source
1 Ensure that NSW Fire Brigades Guidelines for Emergency Vehicle Access Policy No 4 are followed during construction of access corridors with particular attention to the following:
Construction Manager During construction CoA B57(h) (iv) 2 Ensure carriageways are wide enough (4m) to allow appliances to easily negotiate them and provide sufficient room to allow
vehicle crews to work with firer fighting equipment around the vehicle
Construction Manager During construction CoA B57(h) (iv) 3 Ensure turning areas are large enough to reduce the need for multipoint turns. The minimum turning radius will be no less
than 11.3m for general appliances and 14.6m for aerial appliances
Construction Manager During construction CoA B57(h) (iv) 4 Ensure carriageways are not obstructed by parked vehicles, stored goods, industrial bins etc Construction Manager During construction CoA B57(h) (iv) 5 Ensure perimeter security access is wide enough (at least 3.2m) for emergency vehicle traffic Construction Manager During construction CoA B57(h) (iv) 6 Ensure curbs are constructed to allow for vehicle body overhang. Curbs constructed along carriageways should be no higher
than 250mm and free of vertical obstructions at least 300mm back from the curb face to allow for front and rear body overhang
Construction Manager During construction CoA B57(h) (iv)
7 Ensure unobstructed height clearance of 4.5m above all access ways Construction Manager During construction CoA B57(h) (iv) 8 Ensure access ramps are no greater than 1:8. Ramps should not hinder vehicle response. Access ramps should have a
smooth transition between the main ramp gradient and the entry/exit gradients. A minimum of 4.0m long 1:15 transition grade is will be constructed for both ramp approach and departure where applicable
Construction Manager During construction CoA B57(h) (iv)
9 Ensure that carriageway maintains structural adequacy and integrity when under load from a fire appliance. The hardness of the final carriageway surface will be constructed to withstand the static pressure exerted by tyres of an appliance which is not greater than 850kPa pressure
Construction Manager During construction CoA B57(h) (iv)
10 The construction of the access road and utility corridor will be sufficiently wide (11m) to allow attending emergency vehicles and evacuating vehicles to pass unimpeded in case of fire
Construction Manager During construction SoC 207 11 Ensure that the access road and utility corridor is accessible in all weather conditions and that it is designed to have a
minimum load rating to accommodate fire-fighting units
Construction Manager During construction SoC 207 12 Ensure that all personnel are aware that the gas pipeline access corridor will serve as an alternative access/egress road that
is designed for one way traffic and for light vehicles only
Construction Manager During construction SoC 208 13 Ensure that the access road and emergency access road will include adequate outer radius-turning circles at the entry of the Construction Manager During construction SoC 208

1 Public notification of progress and scheduling of works so as to inform the community of any additional vehicles added onto the local road network. Notification will be via AGL’s Community Engagement Plan
Construction Manager During construction SoC 253 2 Stakeholders will be kept informed of works scheduling and any likely traffic related events via the Community Engagement
