215019 GRAINCORP NARRABRI SOEE 2-7-15 FINAL

1 Introduction

GrainCorp has prepared a proposal to upgrade their Narrabri West grain receival facility to improve rail efficiencies. The proposal involves development that requires an application to the Narrabri Shire Council to obtain approval for the overall project in addition to the construction of specific parts of the works.

This report presents a Statement of Environmental Effects to provide details of the proposal and discussion of potential impacts of the proposal.

1.1 The Proponent GrainCorp Limited is an integrated grain business involved in storage, logistics, marketing and processing of various grains grown in Australia. GrainCorp supplies grain and processed grain products to customers in domestic and international markets involving mainly wheat, barley and canola.

GrainCorp’s strategy is focused on becoming a fully integrated agribusiness creating and capturing value along the grain supply chain. In storage and logistics the key objective is to leverage greater value from its extensive grain storage and handling facilities through supply chain efficiencies, better servicing the customer base and expansion of non-grain commodity activity.

GrainCorp continues to grow its marketing business both domestically and internationally and seeks to build a strong presence in international grain trading. GrainCorp is at present expanding its malt grain enterprise through a process of improving efficiency, better leverage group marketing and procurement capabilities and build its capability in the fast growing craft brew market. Since acquisition of a malt business it has developed some bolt-on acquisitions that have expanded capacity and further acquisitions are a possibility. The oils business also offers further opportunities for both organic growth and bolt-on acquisitions. In the Allied Mills joint venture the strategy is to leverage value from the existing milling operations and pursue further downstream opportunities through expansion of its food ingredient product range. GrainCorp has a growth and efficiency initiative in place whereby it targets $110 M in additional EBITDA benefits by the end of FY16. The gains are derived from changes to the way it does business, asset optimization and increased port flexibility.

Narrabri has been identified as a Primary site in GrainCorp’s export logistics. It is part of an upgrade of GrainCorp’s rail loading capacity across its total area of operations. It will increase loading rates and allow the use of larger capacity unit trains and reduce transport costs.

1.2 Key Elements of the Proposal

1.2.1 Project Overview

GrainCorp Limited proposes to upgrade their grain storage depot on Lot 10 DP819714 at Old Turrawan Road, Narrabri to provide a more efficient and reliable rail outloading facility.

The proposed development will consist of:

Removing the existing single rail siding which was designed to hold grain carriages to the south of the site on an elevated rail spur to allow the carriages to move downhill for loading

Construction of three new parallel rail spurs to replace the existing elevated rail spur/siding, to enable 48 carriages to be stored on site ready for loading. This will enable a whole train to be stored onsite.

Attachment 13.3.a

Graincorp Limited Statement of Environmental Effects

SMK Consultants Page 6 of 27

215019 GRAINCORP NARRABRI SOEE 2-7-15 FINAL

The re-commissioning of an existing siding for a locomotive refuge to increase options for internal shunting.

The intended purpose of the proposal is to decrease loading time at the site and the need for continuous shunting and dividing of a train due to the limited carriage storage capacity on the site.

The project includes an increase in loading speed which will enable trains to be loaded in a shorter time and then leave the site for eastern ports and facilities.

2 Description of the Development

2.1 Description of the Proposed Development The objective of the proposed development is to upgrade the internal rail siding to enable more efficient and continuous rail outloading. The new siding will allow a train to be filled on the Graincorp site with a significant reduction in the requirement to shunt across three separate level crossing on the adjacent main rail line.

The development involves several components. The major component involves construction of three by 290 m long extensions to replace the existing rail siding to hold carriages on the southern side of the silos and loading facility. These new lines will be parallel to the existing siding. An existing rail spur for locomotives will be recommissioned to allow locomotives to be held off the main entrance line to the site during shunting.

The development will allow a whole train to be shunted into the site and broken up. The carriages can then be loaded without leaving the site. The whole train can then be reassembled and shunted back onto the main line. The train then moves onto the rail line in Narrabri West before leaving to the east to deliver the grain to ports and other facilities.

This will replace the existing system of dividing the train in the Narrabri West rail yard and shunting parts of the train in numerous operations for loading, which involve multiple trips to and from the site.

Rail access to the site crosses three level road crossing. Each time a train crosses the line, the road is blocked. The proposal intends to eliminate the existing 7 trips past Narrabri West Public School, resulting in only one trip past the school per train. The overall shunting time is expected to reduce from 54 minutes to 18 minutes.

The following plan presents an aerial image of the site showing the proposed development.

2.2 Location The proposed development, illustrated above is located on Lot 10 in DP819714, Parish of Cooma and County of White.

The site is accessed by vehicle via Old Turrawan Road which is used for all trucks moving to and from the site for grain deliveries. This access is to remain unchanged. The Werris Creek to Moree Railway Line follows the perimeter of the site in a wide arc. The rail arc includes the junction with the branch line to Wee Waa which services several sidings for grain and commodity loading in Narrabri West.

The grain receival depot has been in operation for over 50 years.

Adjoining land uses are:

Narrabri Shire Council Depot (South)

the Narrabri West Public School (North-West)

Residential and light industrial (surrounding)

In general, the existing use will remain unchanged and the proposal will result in more efficient rail outloading operations.

2.3 Site Details The site has been in operation as a grain receival depot for over 50 years. Existing development on the site include:

a circular concrete grain silo

a large grain storage shed

grain receival and outloading structures

a weighbridge

staff facilities

a rail siding.

The site has been completely gravelled. No area of native vegetation remains. The attached plan 1 shows the location of existing buildings on the site.

Plan 2 has been prepared to show the 1 % AEP inundation line and is derived from the URS Narrabri Flood Study Flood Inundation Map 3. As well, the site is partly covered by the Flood Planning Area shown on the Flood Mapping Map – Sheer FD-0048 from the Narrabri LEP 2012. This is shown on Plan 3. Drawing SK-101 Titled Flood Inundation Map 1% AEP and Flood Planning Level indicates that the 1% AEP contour across the site is RL 214.5 AHD. This indicates that much of the site is flood free while other parts of the site may have a flood depth of up to 1.2m. This is shown on Plan 4 and also Plan 5.

2.4 Site Suitability Table 1 summarises the factors relating to the suitability of the site.

Table 1: Site Suitability

Operational Requirements

The site provides sufficient land area for site development. All required services can be provided to the site.

Topographical and Meteorological Assessment

Local rainfall and prevailing winds would not cause any constraints. Local climatic conditions in combination with topography of the site would not result in adverse micro-climatic conditions. Earthworks and use of the stockpile material would result in a topographical change with the landform being returned to ta more natural contour.

Water Issues

There is adequate opportunity to manage on site processes and storm water. There is no risk of groundwater pollution as a result of the proposed development. The design of the proposed development has taken site flooding potential into account.

Flora and Fauna Issues

Due to the existing development on the site location, there is minimal risk of any potential adverse effects on local flora or fauna as a result of this development.

Geological and Soil Issues

Geological and soil issues can be appropriately managed as part of this development.

Transport Issues

The development will result in a positive effect on traffic in the area. Any increase in traffic during construction is expected to have minimal adverse effects.

Community Issues

To date there has not been a reported community issue with the facility. As the land use is not changing, there is no community issues predicted.

Cumulative Issues

There are no potential cumulative issues expected.

2.4.1 Need for the Proposed Development

GrainCorp’s strategy is focused on becoming a fully integrated agribusiness creating and capturing value along the grain supply chain. In storage and logistics the key objective is to leverage greater value from its extensive grain storage and handling facilities through supply chain efficiencies, better servicing the customer base and expansion of non-grain commodity activity.

This development complements this strategy as it provides GrainCorp with an efficient storage and handling facility close to the source market which leverages greater value through increased handling efficiencies.

The existing site operation includes major inefficiencies resulting in regular disruption to the local road network in addition to a lengthy loading time for each train. The proposed development aims to significantly reduce this disruption to this busy section of Narrabri. The result will be reduced incidences of delays on the road in addition to reduced noise emission periods from the site for the local area which includes a public school.

Attachment 13.3.a

Graincorp Limited Statement of Environmental Effects

SMK Consultants Page 10 of 27

215019 GRAINCORP NARRABRI SOEE 2-7-15 FINAL

2.4.2 Alternatives

The “do nothing” option was considered. This would result in the local community accepting the current emissions and disruption created during all rail movements to and from the site.

This strategy is not in accordance with GrainCorp business plan. It would result in the loss of employment for existing employees or those associated with GrainCorp operations through rising inefficiencies as the site may be considered as unviable in relation to loading efficiencies and resulting costs per tonne of grain. A significant factor in this scenario is the cost of holding trains in the local area in relation to operating costs in addition to scheduling trains on the busy line between Newcastle and Narrabri. The existing facility involves a lengthy load time. For these reasons, the option of not proceeding with the proposed development was not considered further.

To meet growing logistical demands, GrainCorp has the option of utilising additional truck resources. This option however, is a high cost option due to the increased truck fleet required and high cost of road transportation compared to the alternative use of rail when transporting large quantities of bulk material over long distances.

Additionally, the use of rail and the corresponding reduction in truck kilometers travelled has significant socio-economic and environmental benefits.

Rail transportation provides safety and cost benefits to the community. Austrodes and Bureau or Transport Economics data indicates the following comparative accident rates (ACIL 2001) (ACIL Consulting 2001. Rail in Sustainable Transport – A Report to the Rail Group of the Standing Committee on Transport):

Road freight: 3.8 fatalities per 109 tonne kilometers; and

Rail freight: 0.55 fatalities per 109 tonne kilometers.

In addition to the lower frequency of rail accident is reflected in cost savings to individuals, industry and the community.

Environmentally the benefits of rail include reduced resource consumption and air emissions, in particular greenhouse gas emissions. Compared to freight transport by road, a freight train uses one third of the fuel to move 3000 tonnes of freight (ACIL 2001). Average energy efficiencies for rail freight vary between 0.15 and 0.3 MK (megajoules) per tonne Kilometer while truck transportation varies between 1.50 and 3.10 MJ per tonne Kilometer. This has flow-on air emission benefits. Since 1990 rail transport emissions have decreased by nine percent despite increased freight and passenger numbers. By comparison road transport emissions have increased by 18 percent over that period (Australian Greenhouse Office 1999).

2.4.3 Major Benefit of Proposed Development

Current operations requires up to four return journeys from Narrabri West yard to Narrabri Sub Terminal per day, which equates to eight movements past Narrabri West Public School and the requirement to block the Newell Highway level crossing and the Old Turrawan road level crossing up to eight times per day.

With the proposed development, these operations would require only one movement past the school, Newell Highway level crossing and Old Turrawan Road level crossing per day. The Old Turrawan Road level crossing is impacted only once when the train arrives.

Accordingly, the proposal will result in a 60% reduction in rail movements past Narrabri West Public School and the nearby level crossings. This is summarised on the attached press release in Appendix 1.

215019 GRAINCORP NARRABRI SOEE 2-7-15 FINAL

2.4.4 Work Required

The work to be undertaken on site will involve removal of the existing embankment with the gravity siding and replace it with three level sidings. The footprint of the new siding in relation to the old siding is shown on Plan 5. The new sidings will sit about one metre above current ground level compared to the existing gravity siding which is 2.8 metres above ground level at its southern end. The old disused siding north of the silo complex will also be recommissioned for a locomotive refuge.

Throughput at the site and the operational strategy will remain unchanged and no other works on site will be required. The annual throughput

The cost of the upgrade is estimated to be approximately $1.2 million.

2.5 Operational Details The site currently employs 16 staff during the harvest period from about the 20th October to the 20th December. For the rest of the year, there are 5 permanent staff on the site.

Existing operating hours during the harvest period are from 7am to midnight 7 days per week depending on grain volume being received and also weather conditions.

Normal operating hours for the rest of the year are 7am to 4pm Monday to Friday.

Access to and from the site is detailed in Section 2.5 below. The procedure for the outloading of Rail Grain Wagons under the current regime is as follows:

Train arrives from Werris Creek and proceeds to the Narrabri West holding yard. Wagons are then shunted from Narrabri West Yard to the Graincorp terminal which equates to 8 movements past the Narrabri West Public school, the blockage of the Newell Highway level crossing 10 times and the Old Turrawan Road level crossing 8 times.

With the upgrade the new outloading procedure will be as follows:

1. Train arrives from Werris Creek and proceeds along the Main Line towards Narrabri Station. This will block the Old Turrawan Road crossing once and the Fraser Street level crossing once. The train will then be stored on site on the 3 new sidings to allow for loading.

2. Once loaded the train will be recoupled and proceed to the Narrabri West holding yard for locomotive transfer. This will again block the Fraser Street level crossing and the Old Turrawan Road level crossing. It will travel past the Narrabri West Public school and block the Newell Highway level crossing.

3. The train will then proceed towards Werris Creek and cross the Newell Highway level crossing again.

These procedures are summarised below:

The outloading procedure is that the grain wagons are moved by locomotive through the overhead outloading chute area rather than using gravity to move the train. This process will remain unchanged following the upgrade.

2.6 Access & Traffic Access to and through the site will remain unchanged. Trucks delivering grain enterer from Old Turrawan Road at the southern end of the site. If there is a line up in the Graincorp yard then they queue on the side of the Old Turrawan Road. They proceed from the entry gate to the sample stand and, once sampled, proceed onto the weighbridge.

The grade of the wheat, barley or sorghum being delivered will determine where the truck will unload once the vehicle leaves the weighbridge.

The internal traffic flow will remain unchanged after the siding upgrade.

Total 65

2.7 Construction We envisage that a single contractor will carry out all the siding work and employ civil sub-contractors to reduce the height of the gravity shunt bank and to ensure there is an adequately compacted base for the new 3 line siding. Construction works will be as follows.

Removal of exiting rail lines and store for reuse.

Remove and dispose of all spikes and track sleepers.

Determine cut out height and relocate extra soil to the south of existing siding.

Compact base to correct compaction results

Supply and install new sleepers.

Supply and install new points, and reinstall existing rails and new rail where required.

Test and commission new siding

Construction work will be undertaken with reference to the Interim Construction Noise Guideline for NSW. The Guideline will be utilised to determine hours of construction and noise emission criteria during construction activity.

3 Environmental and Regulatory Considerations

3.1 Permissibility The development is to occur on an existing grain loading facility which has been in use for approximately 50-years. The existing use of the land and is considered permissible under the Narrabri LEP. The proposed development involving construction of various works will require an approval from Narrabri Shire Council (NSC). The development proposal is considered non-designated development as it does not involve a change of purpose on the site. The development involves an upgrade of an existing legal use as permitted within the RU1 Zone.

The grain storage and loading enterprise does not require a Licence under the Protection of the Environment and Operations Act 1997.

3.2 Noise Emissions The following provides details of the existing operation on the site in relation to procedures:

Current operation is as follows and as noted in operational details 2.4 above

Train and empty wagons travel into the Narrabri West rail yard to commence shunting procedures.

16 Grain wagons are shunted toward Narrabri town along the Moree rail line and then reversed into the grain facility.

The locomotive pulls wagons through outloading chute area to load the 16 wagons.

Filled carriages are shunted back to Narrabri West rail yard

Process repeated up to 4 times to load a complete train.

Train is then reformed in the Narrabri West rail yard and then leaves Narrabri toward Werris Creek.

3.2.1 Proposed Operation

Whole train travels towards Narrabri town and then reverses into the yard to store 16 carriages each on the three new spur lines

Up to 48 wagons are moved onto the site and loaded in groups of 16

Full carriages pushed back to siding for storage

This is repeated another 2 times.

Whole train reassembled and shunts to Narrabri West yard for locomotive reposition

Whole train travels to Werris Creek.

The proposal would involve a reduction from 8 per train loading event to 1 per train loading event where noise emissions from a train are within approximately 70 m of the closest class room at the Narrabri West public school. The noise level would remain the same per event, however the regularity of disturbance is to be significantly reduced as a result of the proposed development. This is considered significant in relation to disturbance patterns within class rooms as the train would take several minutes to move past the school on each trip. The central area of the shunting to replace the 8 trips per day would be approximately 150 m further away from the school.

Attachment 13.3.a

Graincorp Limited Statement of Environmental Effects

SMK Consultants Page 16 of 27

215019 GRAINCORP NARRABRI SOEE 2-7-15 FINAL

Two other dwellings are located within a short distance from the rail line involved in this proposal. Both houses have frontage to the main rail line and are therefore impacted by all train movements through Narrabri.

Typical noise levels generated by a locomotive range from approximately 65 dBA for an idling motor and up to 85 dBA for a train in transit. Noise levels are exacerbated by a requirement for trains to blow their horn as warnings. The train horn generates up to 110 dBA.

NSW Guidelines accept general rail related noise criteria as:

Time of Day Noise Criteria LAeq

Day 65

Night 60

Maximum 85

Alarms (horn) No applicable limit

These day and night noise levels are measured over a 15 minute period and calculated as an average over the 15 minutes. This allows for variations. In this case, the train would take less than 15 minutes to move past the noise receivers and therefore a period of only normal background noise would be included in the 15 minutes, thus the average would be lower than the noise generated by the train, if background noise is lower.

The proposal does not involve a reduction or change to actual noise emissions from the trains to use the site. The reduction will result in the overall frequency that noise emissions affect the noise receivers on a per train basis.

Further analysis of the noise emissions from the train can be undertaken as the shunting activity on the grain site is to be altered. Additional shunting will occur within the site as the train is separated and reformed around the additional carriage holding space within the site. While this is occurring, the train will generally be at idle as shunting is undertaken at slow speeds. On this basis, the train would be generating approximately 65 dBA on the site. Allowing for noise attenuation over the distance between the central part of the site and the three receptors discussed above, noise would be reduced from 65 dBA to approximately 47 dBA at the closest residence which is approximately 200 m away from the centre of the site.

A further reduction of 1 to 3 dBA would occur for the second closest residence and the public school respectfully.

The NSW criteria for existing rail facilities suggests a limit of 65 dBA. Based on the above calculations, the buffer distance available between activity within the rail yard and the closest receptors, would enable noise levels to attenuate to below acceptable criteria during site operations.

Once the trains leave the site, the main public rail line travels significantly closer to these receptors. However, as the rail line is existing and the proposed development does not involve modification to this public rail line, existing noise intrusion levels would remain at the same level. However, as discussed above and in the operating proposal that would result from the development, the frequency of the potential noise disturbance created by trains associated with the grain receival facility would be reduced from 8 incidences per train to one incidence per train. This result can be considered beneficial to the amenity of the adjacent noise receivers.

Graincorp Limited Statement of Environmental Effects

SMK Consultants Page 17 of 27

215019 GRAINCORP NARRABRI SOEE 2-7-15 FINAL

3.3 Air Emission The facility operates intensively with grain receivals for a period of approximately 2-months of each year. For the remainder of the year, the site receives occasional trains to be loaded with grain stored on the site.

Some potential exists for two forms of dust to be generated, mainly road dust from traffic on the site and grain dust from loading and unloading operations.

Traffic dust is managed by the use of a full time watering truck during receival periods. The internal gravel roads and adjacent sections of road with dust potential are watered on an as required basis to minimise road dust emissions.

Grain dust can be an issue during receivals and dispatch of grain. The two operations include consideration to minimising dust emissions by screening or enclosing dust generating activities. These include specifically design grain shuts that minimise the separation of the grain during movement from one auger into a storage container such as a rail carriage or truck. Potential exists when the grain flow separates the grain particles and releases dust from grain husk and other components within the grain. This is reduced by the use of specialized grain spouts.

3.4 Privacy, Views & Overshadowing. This will remain unchanged.

3.5 Soil & water The site is completely graveled. It has numerous constructed drains to deliver storm-water to the adjacent drainage path. The development will not increase the run-off from the site. The upgrade will require earthworks for the removal of the existing siding and preparation of a suitable footing for the new sidings.

3.6 Flooding The site is located in a flood prone area. Drawing SK-101 titled Flood Inundation Map 1% AEP and Flood Planning Level indicates that the 1% AEP contour across the site is RL 214.5 AHD. Survey of the site indicates that much of the site is flood free while other parts of the site may have a flood depth of up to 1.2m. This is shown on Plan 4 and plan 5.

The majority of the new works will be located on the flood free area of the site as indicated on plan 5. The small section of the proposed siding that extends into the Flood Planning Area will have minimal impact.

During flood events, the natural flow of water is to the north and east of the site, parallel to the Namoi River and Narrabri Lake. Any inundation of the site is a backwater effect and any flows across the site are along the eastern boundary.

3.7 Existing Services The site currently has electricity, water and telephone services connected. Effluent is disposed of through an on-site effluent disposal system. These services will remain unchanged. The proposal will not create any additional demands on these services.

Survey plan DP819714 shows a “Proposed Right of Carriageway” across the southern part of the land. This is not shown on the Certificate of Title and does not exist. DP819714 and the Certificate of Title are attached in Appendix 1.

215019 GRAINCORP NARRABRI SOEE 2-7-15 FINAL

3.8 Flora & Fauna The site does not include any area of natural habitat. The site has been fully developed and utilised by Graincorp for over 50 years. The proposed development would therefore have no additional impact on the natural environment.

The application of an 8-Part test to this development was considered unnecessary in that the area has been completely transformed. The existing development has covered the site with gravel and buildings. The possibility of any sites of archeological or heritage significance being found on this site are considered to be minimal.

3.9 SEPP 44 – Koala Habitat Protection. The property does not require an assessment for identification of potential or core koala habitat as less than 15% of the total number of trees in the upper or lower strata of the tree component consist of those listed as being preferred by koalas.

3.10 SEPP 55 – Remediation of land. An investigation of the site has been carried out in accordance with the requirements of SEPP 55 and Guidelines published by the Environment Protection Authority. The investigation indicated that the property has been used for various light industrial purposes including the temporary storage of chemicals as part of an existing enterprise on the site. This existing enterprise intends to continue this activity on the site. Such chemicals are limited to biodegradable herbicides which do not represent a significant concern in relation to site contamination.

The site is not considered to contain any specific areas of contamination of concern.

3.11 Waste Management Procedures Waste generated from the site is mainly personal waste from employees and a limited amount of industrial waste. This is stored in an industrial waste bin on site and removed weekly by a licensed contractor, Namoi Waste Corp. It is then delivered to the local Council refuse facility. Spilt grain is collected and stored for sale as stock feed. The proposal should not see any change to this procedure.

3.12 Energy The upgrade is part of an upgrading of Graincorp’s logistic network across its entire area of operations. It will deliver a more efficient and reliable network. It will reduce heavy vehicle movements by utilising more efficient rail transfer of grain.

3.13 Environmental Incidents An Emergency Response Plan (ERP) would be maintained for the operations at the site. The ERP would describe the general policy and approach to be adopted when dealing with an emergency or incident at the site.

The Site Manager would assess the situation, taking into consideration the impact(s) on the environment, in order to determine whether outside resources are required to clarify what response is required, or to assist in responding to the impacts. The Site Manager would contact an outside agency if required.

All environmental incidents would be recorded on an Environmental Incident Report form.

An Environmental Incident Folder would be maintained and would contain the following details:

Copies of work instructions on how to deal with particular situations;

Incident contact names/numbers; and

Attachment 13.3.a

Graincorp Limited Statement of Environmental Effects

SMK Consultants Page 19 of 27

215019 GRAINCORP NARRABRI SOEE 2-7-15 FINAL

Environmental Incident Report form containing all the details required in the "Notification of Environmental Harm" procedure below.

All employees working on the site would be responsible for ensuring that the Site Manager is informed of any environmental incidents. All environmental incidents would be recorded on an Environmental Incident Report form. As required by Part 5.7 of the POEO Act and the EPL, the Site Manager must notify the NSW DEC of incidents, or the threat of material harm to the environment, as soon as practicable after they become aware of the incident or threat of material harm.

The management strategies for controlling incidents/emergencies would involve:

3.13.1 General Procedures

Provide adequate resources including staffing and firefighting equipment;

Training of staff so that a high level of preparedness is maintained by all people who could be involved in an emergency;

Provide a first aid station which would be fully equipped and maintained at the site with trained first aid staff on the site at all times; and

Periodic review and update of emergency procedures for the site.

3.13.2 Fire

Consult with the NSW Rural Fire Service;

Consult with adjoining landholders;

Undertake hazard reduction as required;

Provide firefighting equipment at site buildings;

Provide clear signposting and access for all firefighting equipment;

Make available water for firefighting from water holding tanks or mains; and

Regularly inspect and maintain firefighting equipment.

3.13.3 Chemicals

Store all chemicals in appropriately bunded areas in accordance with their Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the relevant Australian Standards; and

Store all fuels or flammable solvents in adequately ventilated areas.

3.13.4 Notification of Environmental Harm

As required by Part 5.7 of the POEO Act , the Site Manager must notify the NSW DEC of incidents which occur in the course of operations of the RDC where material harm to the environment is caused or threatened, as soon as practicable after they become aware of the incident or threatened material harm.

Initial notification may be made by telephoning the NSW DEC's Pollution Line. Under certain circumstances, the NSW DEC may require a written report regarding the incident. If so, the following information would be included in such report:

The time, date, nature, duration and location of the incident;

The location of the place where pollution is occurring or is likely to occur;

Attachment 13.3.a

Graincorp Limited Statement of Environmental Effects

SMK Consultants Page 20 of 27

215019 GRAINCORP NARRABRI SOEE 2-7-15 FINAL

The nature, the estimated quantity or volume and the concentration of any pollutants involved;

The circumstances in which the incident occurred (including the cause of the incident, if known);

The action taken or proposed to be taken to deal with the incident and any resulting pollution or threatened pollution; and

Other relevant information.

3.14 Environmental Monitoring The Site Manager is responsible for ensuring that any monitoring carried out is done so in accordance with the requirements specified by the Conditions of Consent. Implementation of the Site EMP would be the basis for compliance with monitoring requirements which would be reported to the relevant agencies as required.

Components of the monitoring may include:

Local Meteorological Conditions -Meteorological conditions to be monitored would include daily rainfall and continuous wind speed and direction. This information is currently available from local established monitoring stations;

Incident triggered Air Quality Monitoring to meet NSW Dust emission criteria. This may include installation of dust gauges during construction and as required for operation;

Noise -Monitoring would be conducted to meet NSW Industrial Noise policy requirements. A suitably qualified acoustic consultant would conduct the monitoring; and

Annual throughput and site activity register.

4 Socio-Economic Effects

The proposed upgrade of this site represents a positive economic decision by Graincorp to invest in the future of agriculture in the Narrabri district. The development is part of an overall upgrade of Graincorp’s logistics network. This is projected to lower transport costs and result in higher grain prices for growers. It will result in reduced heavy vehicle movements on roads which in turn, improves road safety and reduces road maintenance, emissions and heavy vehicle noise.

The redevelopment of this site would improve the aesthetics of the area and therefore have some general social benefits to the local community. The new building would offer some local contractors additional employment and therefore a large proportion of the $1.2 million cost of the facility would generally be spent locally. The redevelopment of the site would provide the continuance of existing jobs but may not generate additional employment apart from during the construction period.

The Proponent would be the main financial benefactor from the development, through reduced costs however local grain growers should benefit from projected higher grain prices.

5 Statutory Requirements

This development is not a designated or integrated development and therefore only requires assessment of a development application. Narrabri SC planning provisions require a Statement of Environmental Effects to enable sufficient assessment of the property in relation to the proposed development.

Narrabri Local Environment Plan (LEP), 2012, applies to the development. On the basis of this planning instrument, the development is Zoned RU1 Primary Production.

One of the objectives of the LEP is to “facilitate development of a range of business enterprises” and “encourage development ….by enhancing and conserving … agricultural production”. The development will contribute to the local economy and not have an adverse impact on local amenity. The proposal meets this objective whilst maintaining the value of the environment and amenity of the area.

6 Cumulative Environmental Effects

The overall environmental impact created by the proposed upgrade of this site is considered minimal. The redevelopment is considered a positive development that would result in an enhanced grain receival facility for Narrabri. The development would provide for the continuance of an existing land use and therefore alteration of noise and traffic impacts from the site would be minimal. No complaints have been received to date from the long term use and therefore this would suggest that the activity on this site is not conflicting with the adjacent residential area.

7 Justification for the Proposed Development

7.1 The Need for the Proposed Rail Siding To meet the need for ongoing supply of grain and adequate servicing of the North West rural sector, GrainCorp is proposing the development to ensure potential efficiencies are achieved and associated benefits are realised. Section 2.4.2 describes the supply and alternatives examined by GrainCorp. Based on the assessment undertaken the alternatives of ‘doing nothing’ and utilising road transport deemed not meet requirements of GrainCorp and further, would have negative socio-economic effect on the area.

7.2 Suitability of the Site The suitability of the proposed development site for the construction and operation of the development is described in Section 2.4. The environmental assessment undertaken and described in Section 2.7 demonstrates that the proposed development has been designed so as to be compatible with current and proposed adjoining land uses. The proposed development site is situated within an expanding industrial area and is in most part appropriately zoned for industrial development.

The proposed Development has been designed to avoid conflict with land uses on adjoining and nearby areas. The use of the site for the proposed development does not limit future land use on adjacent areas and does not impose restrictions on current land uses.

7.3 Economic Justification The development would result in economic and environmental benefits at the regional and State levels resulting from the use of rail to transport the bulk materials from their source to

Attachment 13.3.a

Graincorp Limited Statement of Environmental Effects

SMK Consultants Page 22 of 27

215019 GRAINCORP NARRABRI SOEE 2-7-15 FINAL

market rather than use of road transportation. While the development would not increase direct employment levels, the investment into the region and industry would give confidence to axillary businesses and help sustain the industry.

8 Conclusion

The proposed development is considered to be justified based on the strategic need for GrainCorp within the North West region and the proposed location already operating as a rail siding.

The proposed development would result in local and regional economic benefits. The environmental assessment of the proposed development has concluded that there would be some reductions in the incidences of noise emissions and local road congestion resulting from a reduction in train trips during shunting to and from the site.

Overall it is concluded that the proposed development would not result in unacceptable environmental impacts on the local area and would create social and economic benefits for the local, regional and State communities while ensuring the long term efficient and sustainable supply of grain to market.

Attachment 13.3.a

Creating a more efficient and reliable network for all customersIn 2014, GrainCorp begins a $200 million transformation of its storage and logistics network. Representing the single largest capital investment in rail loading capability in the company’s history, Project Regeneration will deliver a more efficient and reliable network for all customers, unlocking lower transport rates and higher grain prices for growers across the network.

Project Regeneration

Attachment 13.3.a

Project Regeneration is focused on investment and transformation in four key areas:

1. Re-shaping the country network2. Localised cluster operations3. End-to-end export logistics4. Rail loading improvements

1. Re-shaping the country networkWe are re-shaping our network to around 180 sites to simplify our operations and reduce operating costs. This consolidation will allow us to concentrate our investment at sites where it will have the broadest benefit. It will reduce complexity, operating costs and enable greater focus on local operations and service.

2. Localised cluster operationsAround 180 sites will be grouped into 34 geographical clusters, reducing management duplication and giving greater local autonomy.

Export and domestic grain can be purchased from all sites but will be executed from the most suitable site.

remains double our average intake – meaning plenty of room for your grain, including 8 million tonnes of permanent silo and shed storage

The core 180 sites already receive 90% of all

delivered grain

Primary sites Export focused, providing fast cycling rail services to ports and terminals with point-to-point unit trains (40+ wagons)

Major sites Domestic focused, with road freight and point-to-point domestic and export shuttle trains (NSW only)

3. End-to-end export logistics

ExportDirectTransmits the benefit of GrainCorp’s investment throughout all sites, by ensuring buyers compete for export or domestic grain at any site, but always executing out of the most suitable site

4. Rail loading improvementsGrainCorp is committing $200 million to upgrade rail loading capacity to handle faster cycling point-to-point trains from our 68 Primary sites, including 3 new built-for-purpose sites. These improvements will:

• re-positiongrainwithtriplingofloadingrates• accommodateaunittrainatasite• reducetransportcostsandimprovereliabilityforcustomers.

In order to unlock the full potential uplift from our investment, government investment in government owned sidings and rail track will also be necessary.

Tripling rail loading rates to over 500 tonnes per hour Installation or upgrade of single load points with over-rail garner bins, high speed elevators with pre-positioning bins with fumigation and blending capabilitiesx3

Potential to return up to 1 million tonnes to rail Removing up to 25,000 heavy vehicle movements each year, improving road safety and reducing road maintenance, emissions and heavy vehicle noise

Unlocking substantial freight savings for growers and grain buyers alike Delivered through faster and more reliable train cycle times

GrainCorp will offer bundled transport and handling of export grain under a simplified operating model known as ExportDirect. ExportDirect further simplifies the export logistics task by allowing GrainCorp to move grain from the most cost-effective site. Importantly this model:

a) Maximises the volume of export rail from upgraded primary sites

b) Allows the benefit of investment in Primary sites to be transmitted across all sites by allowing GrainCorp to offer competitive transport rates across the network.

Your questions answeredWhen will changes take effect?Network and operating model changes will largely be in place for the 2014 winter harvest, while capital works associated with rail loading improvements will take place over the next 3 years, subject to planning approvals and government co-investment in government owned rail sidings.

Why rail?Modernised rail capability and simplified rail operations will deliver a faster, more efficient and reliable service for export grain. A consolidated and restructured site cluster model will allow for improved resource management. The streamlined rail operating model will support point-to-point trains and improve the cost effectiveness and capacity for export grain.

How many sites will be closed?We are moving to a core of around 180 sites. The network has varied in size over the years, depending on the crop size. Last harvest we operated 252 sites. In other years it has been more or less depending on the circumstances in that year. Focusing on the core 180 sites that already receive 90% of all grain allows us to concentrate investment in those parts of the network that really need it.

Will I have to travel further to deliver grain?We expect any impact from an individual site closure will be offset by higher prices bid for growers’ grain as a result of a more efficient and reliable network following investment. In the final consolidated network, the average distance between our sites will be 30 kilometres.

Will there be job losses?It is anticipated that there will be a reduction of around 80 full time roles across the network of both support and operating staff. We will seek to redeploy affected people within GrainCorp and provide assistance in finding new employment, along with full entitlements when this is not possible.

Will fewer sites increase turnaround times at sites?One of the benefits of a consolidated network is allowing equipment resources and labour to be focused to areas of peak demand, when it is most needed. Waiting times under a consolidated network should generally be shorter compared to when resources are spread thinly across a less efficient network.

What will GrainCorp do with closed sites?GrainCorp is considering its options and may also engage with growers and other interested parties, subject to conditions, to lease or buy closed sites.

Graincorp Narrabri Site Upgrade

60% less rail movements past Narrabri West Public School and surrounding level crossings

GrainCorp’s Narrabri site is set to be upgraded to deliver more efficient and reliable rail outloading, unlocking higher grain prices for local grain growers.

The upgrade will result in a 60% reduction in rail movements past Narrabri West Public school and the nearby level crossing[s] during loading. There should be no disruption to local traffic or businesses during construction, as the proposed works will not encroach on the main rail line or roads.

Current operations

Movements past Public School: 8Level crossings blockages: 18Total time level crossings are blocked during loading: 54 mins

Future operations

Movements past Public School: 1Level crossings blockages: 6Total time level crossings are blocked during loading: 18 mins

Attachment 13.3.a

Fraser Street level crossing

Under the proposed upgrade the Fraser Street level crossing will be blocked twice for an estimated three minutes when the train is arriving and departing the site. GrainCorp would like to work with Fraser and Avon Street residents to answer any questions they may have and to reduce any possible impacts of the project.

Project status

Plans are currently in the final stages of development and will be submitted to Narrabri Shire Council in MONTH.
