		The North-West T-way passes through a variety of landscapes and land-uses including residential, industrial, open space areas and a number of creek crossings. The maintenance and sympathetic reinstatement of these landscapes and land-uses is a key aspect of the T-way project.
		Environmental Management Reports
		The Construction Framework Environmental Management Plan (CFEMP) establishes environmental standards and objectives. It outlines management strategies and actions to meet the project's environmental objectives.
		The CFEMP details how the environmental safeguards recommended in the project's planning documents (Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Representations Report and Director-General's Report), and specified in the Minister's Conditions of Approval and Project Deed, will be implemented.
		The principal purpose of the CFEMP is as a reference manual for site managers and site personnel. It outlines the mitigation measures that will be implemented to manage the potential impacts that the North-West T-way construction works may have on the surrounding environment.
		The CFEMP is supported by various sub-plans including:
		Dust Management
		Flood and Drainage Management
		Flora and Fauna Management
		Indigenous Heritage Archaeology Management
		Non-Indigenous Heritage and Archaeology Management
		Noise and Vibration Management
		Also a number of approval authorities (see list on left) are involved in ensuring that the North-West T-way is delivered in accordance with the Conditions of Approval and agreed community outcomes.
