The Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment, which zoned the subject land "Urban" to facilitate residential development, was granted environmental approval by the previous Minister for the Environment, subject to various environmental conditions. Environmental Condition No. 3 requires the developer to prepare a noise management plan to ensure, inter alia, that residential development has adequate setbacks from the rail line together with appropriate noise amelioration measures. This Noise management Plan has been prepared and endorsed by the Environmental Protection Authority. Future development on the former ANI Bradkin site will need to comply with the recommendations of this Management Plan.
