The location of the loading platform is directly outside the front doors of the Stamford plaza/Stamford residencies. Please consider moving it somewhere else.
The platforms have been located to maximise efficiency of the excavation and to avoid existing utilities. The platforms are not located directly in front of Stamford. Change to the CEMP: The location drawing in the plan will be made clearer. Update: changes to the construction methodology (Secton 2.2 of this CEMP) removes the need for the platforms in question. A continuous traffic deck replaces the previous methodology

The complaints section of the CEMP does not list the response times the project has committed to when dealing with complaints.
Complaints and response times are dealt with in the Communications Plan prepared by Auckland Transport.
The project needs to ensure that hoardings / security fences constructed to secure the project do not inadvertently provide access for criminals into adjacent buildings
Connectus have noted the concern and will aim to design it out. It will also be added as an inspection item on the weekly environmental checklist.
No change proposed to the CEMP.
No change is proposed to the CEMP.

Identification of the risks identified by the projects risk register and how these are to be tied into the DWPs or the CEMP
Section 3.2 - The information contained in the register provides a guide for the implementation of environmental management activities, controls and monitoring, thus minimising environmental impacts. 3.2.1 - The Environment and Sustainability Manager (ESM) (roles and responsibilities are defined in Section 4.1 of this CEMP) is required to maintain and review environmental risks within the register. The ESM is required to update the Project CEMP and associated DWPs of other management plans to reflect any updates which may arise as a result of the review of the register.

Will the Environmental and sustainability manager be required to be on site during night works, will there be an on call person to cover any environmental issues outside the regular work hours
The E & S Manager will not be required to be on site during night works, but will ensure that the onsite supervisory staff are suitably briefed. He will be on call if any issues arise.
Add a section to identify and set out how to deal with non-DWP matters as per condition 19.5
Section 1.2.1 - Where specific requirements and objectives are not addressed by the sub-plans, the CEMP includes measures to give effect to these.
This information will be specified in the Emergency Response Plan. Section 4.3.19.1 updated with emergency contact numbers (during day/night works);

2.5.2Security, safety and public safety
How will disabled pedestrians be accommodated, particularly the blind and those in wheel chairs
The is currently not wheel chair access or other disability access provided during works.
22
2.5.3 Graffiti and litter
Weekly inspection for litter and graffiti will make it difficult to achieve the 48 hour graffiti clearance goal stated.
Section 2.5.3 - Connectus will target painting over graffiti within 48 hours of identifying the problem (although this may take longer if it requires working at height).
23
2.5.4 returning the site to public use
Will this be returned to it's current state or is there a plan for the area post construction. Please reference if so
Section 2.5.4 - At the completion of construction, Connectus will return the site to AT for return to public use. Site remediation will be detailed in the Urban Design DWP which will be prepared as part of a subsequent Outline Plan process. Further detail is provided in Section 4.3.16 of this CEMP.
The following comments are based solely on the information within the CEMP provided, which did not include the DWPS or risk register. For consistency these general comments apply to all the proposed DWPs, some sections may already cover some of them. However I believe for consistency in the CEMP that these sections need to be modified to reflect these general changes and the specifics set out below
N/A
What will the regular interval be for review of the risk register
"The risk register will be reviewed as part on Connectus monthly review and reporting cycle. The review will be conducted by the Project Director and senior project staff, and will be directed at identifying the current top 10 risks to be managed in the next period."

3.2.1 Review and register
Comment
Resolution
Section 3.2.1 - Register will be reviewed prior to the commencement of construction activities (taking into account finalised construction methodologies), at regular intervals (to be undertaken as part of the Project Monthly Report) and when there is a new or changed activity, equipment or location. Changes to legislative requirements may also drive Risk Register reviews.

3.2.1 Review and register
Suggest that changes to the risk scores are made collaboratively between the ESM and cut and cover manager rather than separately
Accepted - The ESM, with the assistance of environmental and technical experts (including but not limited to the Cut and Cover Tunnel Manager, Project Director and management team), will determine whether the CEMP and sub-plans require revision to reflect the revised risk assessment.
27
3.2.1 Review and register
How will cumulative effects that cross the DWPs be identified assessed and addressed in the CEMP - what are these and what occurs if there is a conflict in the DWP requirements
As per section 3.3 methods to address cumulative effects are outlined for specific activities within the suite of DWPs which have been developed in conjunction
28
3.4.1 National legal requirements and regulations
What parts of the listed legislation are applicable, how will they be assessed and complied with. Will these be linked to the DWPs, if so which ones and how. Identifying these at the commencement of the project leaves open the risk that additional approvals will be required and could hold up the works
3.4.1 - Connectus will comply with all relevant legislation and will employ best practice environmental management procedures.
29
3.4.3 consents
Connectus has stated they will ensure compliance with national legislation. However, at is responsible for additional resource consents/OPW during the construction period. This may lead to confusion in responsibility and should be clarified
Section 3.4.3 - AT will be responsible for obtaining any additional consents required during construction. However, Connectus has a responsibility to identify and communicate any changes to the scope of works during construction which may have any additional consent requirements.
30
4.1.2 specific roles and responsibilities
The ESM is noted as being responsible for preparing the sub plans, does this refer to the DWPs? If so it is the reviewers understanding that these should be produced by the relevant specialists
