Project documents

Following response to community and stakeholder feedback, Transport has modified the project by providing a full interchange at Putty Road, extended the bridge over the floodplain and reconfigured the design at the southern connection. The full interchange will improve access to Singleton’s town centre from the bypass.

The Addendum REF describes the proposed modification, assessing consistency and potential environmental impacts along with any additional mitigation measures that may be needed to reduce potential impacts of the proposed modification.

Following further consultation with property owners and additional investigations into the project constructability, it was determined that minor existing property acquisition adjustments were required to facilitate construction of the project. In addition, consultation with applicable utility providers, identified that utility adjustment works were also required outside of the REF approval area to tie into existing utilities.

The Addendum REF describes the proposed modification, assessing consistency and potential environmental impacts along with any additional mitigation measures that may be needed to reduce potential impacts of the proposed modification.

The review of environmental factors was publicly displayed for feedback between between December 2019 and March 2020. During this time, Transport invited the public to provide feedback on the proposal. The submissions report summerises the community and stakeholder comments, Transports responses, and details of the decision.

The REF describes the key features of the Singleton Bypass project and assesses the potential environmental and social impacts during construction and operation. The REF document also makes recommendations on measures to manage and minimise potential impacts from the project.

The REF covers topics such as noise, vibration, traffic, air quality, flooding, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal heritage, and socio-economic, property and biodiversity impacts.
