BothSavillsandDoEhavehadongoingconsultationwiththefollowingagenciesthroughouttheproject:

• RegionalFireServices(RFS)• OfficeofEnvironmentandHeritage• StateEmergencyServices

Uponcompletionofconsultationwiththenominatedagencies,noamendmenttotheauditscopewasrequired.ReviewofComplaintsRegisters

Areviewofcomplaintsregistersidentifiedvariousmeansofregisteringacomplaintforthedevelopment.Complaints may be recorded via the project’s website to [email protected] or [email protected] oralternatively to the dedicated project 1300 Community Hotline number or to Taylors’Project/SiteManagementTeamdirectly(3potentialnumbers).Areviewofthevariouscomplaintsregistersidentifiedthat,althoughtherewasadisparityinthenumberandnatureofcomplaintsrecorded,thenatureofallcomplaintswasadequatelycoveredwithintheexistingscopeoftheauditandcouldbereferencedintermsofconsideringthegeneralenvironmentalperformanceofthesite,theadequacyofcontrolmeasures,andtheproject’sEMS.Noamendmentwasmadetotheauditscopefollowingreviewofthecomplaintsregisters.

2.3. ComplianceEvaluationThe audit findings are based on verifiable evidence either sighted, reviewed, collated orobserved. The followingmethodswereused toobtain verifiable evidence relevant to theauditscope:

• reviewofprojectrecords,documentationandreports;• interviewswithconstructionprojectpersonnel;• interviewswiththird-partystakeholders;and


• siteinspections,includingcollectionofphotographicevidence.A review of verifiable evidence was undertaken against the identified audit criteria todeterminethelevelofcompliance.

2.4. SiteInterviewsSiteinterviewswereconductedonthe11thand13thDecember2018aswellasthe4thJanuary2018.Thefollowingpersonnelwereinterviewed:

• DeanFondas–SeniorProjectManager,TaylorsConstruction• BrentKendall–SiteManager,TaylorsConstruction• DanielDiab–SiteEngineer,TaylorsConstruction• ShaggyShen–ProjectSafetyAdvisor,TaylorsConstruction

Siteinterviewswereconductedwithinthesiteofficeenvironmentandduringthecourseofsiteinspections.

2.5. SiteInspectionsInspectionsoftheentireprojectsitewerecarriedoutoneachofthefollowingdates:

• 11thDecember2018• 13thDecember2018• 4thJanuary2019

All site inspections were accompanied by at least one representative of Taylors’ sitemanagementteam.Site inspections comprised awalkover of the defined construction footprint and includedinternalandexternalworkenvironments.

2.6. ConsultationThefollowingstakeholderswerecontactedduringtheauditperiod:

• Ku-ring-gaiCouncil• TransportforNewSouthWales(TfNSW)• RoadsandMaritimeServices(RMS)• SafeWorkNewSouthWales(SafeWork)• DepartmentofEducation(DoE)• DepartmentofPlanningandEnvironment(DP&E)

Asummaryoftheconsultationfindingswiththeabovestakeholdershasbeenprovided inTable5 in Section3.11of this report.Asa resultof this consultation,noadjustmentwasrequiredtotheauditscopeand/oraudittable.Consultation with SafeWork NSW regarding the form of asbestos labelling identified noprescribed form other than the general form provided within Code of Practice: How toManageandcontrolAsbestosintheWorkplace(SafeWorkNSW,September2016).


2.7. ComplianceStatusDescriptorsCompliancefindingsresultingfromtheassessmentofauditevidencehavebeendividedintothreecategoriesasfollows:

• Compliant:Theauditorhascollectedsufficientverifiableevidencetodemonstratethatallelementsoftherequirementhavebeencompliedwithwithinthescopeoftheaudit.

• Non-compliant:Theauditorhasdeterminedthatoneormorespecificelementsoftheconditionsorrequirementshavenotbeencompliedwithwithinthescopeoftheaudit.

• Nottriggered:Arequirementhasanactivationortimingtriggerthathasnotbeenmetatthetimewhentheauditisundertaken,thereforeanassessmentofcomplianceisnotrelevant.

Someoftherecordedauditfindingsidentifyimprovementopportunitiesinrelationtoauditcriteria that have been identified as compliant, for consideration by the proponent. Theprovidedcountofcompliancesandnon-compliancesrepresentsthecountagainstconditionsofconsentonly. Non-complianceshavebeenrecordedagainstthehigh-levelEMSreview,however, this is not an assessment of a conforming EMS system under ISO 14001, butrepresentsanabsenceofimplementationofsomeofthecomponentsexpectedofanEMS.

2.8. OpeningMeetingTheauditcommencedwithanopeningmeetingon27November2018atSavills’offices.Duringtheopeningmeetingtheobjectivesoftheaudit,thescopeoftheaudit,theresourcesrequiredandmethodologytobeappliedwerediscussed.Thisopeningmeetingprecededcommencementofexistingdocumentreview.Attendeesatthemeetingwere:
