Action item update
Implementation
When reviewing environment management plans from the onshore gas industry, the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics reviews activities, assesses the risk to existing and future transport infrastructure and road user safety, and liaises directly with proponents to ensure appropriate mitigation and monitoring measures are in place, prior to issuing road agency approvals.
This includes assessment and approval of traffic impact assessments and traffic management plans, review and approval of all engineering and design proposals for upgrades to the existing Territory road network or new intersection proposals and monitor and accept construction works of approved accesses or intersections.
