Lighting Assessment WAI-985-000-REPLC-0019_Rev 0.Docx Waihi North Project Page 16 of 35 21/06/2022 Assessment of Environmental Effects: Lighting REVISION: 0 - Final o Site Entrance from Willows Road: Pole mounted luminaire(s) would be provided adjacent to the site entry gate at the northern end of Willows Road. It is understood that the gate will be located to the north of the proposed screen planting at the top end of Willows Road. Depending on the location of the site entry gate with respect to Willows Road, spill light from the luminaire(s) may exceed the Hauraki District Plan requirement for a maximum of 8.0 lux direct spill onto a road. Direct light spill will be very localised to the lighting pole(s) with effects minimised by the use of flat-glass (zero upward component) luminaire(s), backlight shielding (if required), luminaire orientation, and the use of 3000K LED technology. • Permanent interior lighting visible through unshielded windows. o Interior lighting within temporary construction related buildings would most likely consist of modern LED luminaires or older style linear fluorescent fittings. • Occupancy and daylight sensor control of lighting will be considered in less frequently accessed locations. The use of sensor control will be tempered against the distraction that might occur to neighbours from luminaires turning on and off on a regular basis. 3.3.2.2 Tunnel Construction Stage Tunnel construction works would typically involve: • Dump trucks between the Willows Portal and the rock stack – primarily during dayshift (7am to 7pm). • Various light and heavy equipment in and out of the portal area and to/from the SFA. This would predominantly occur during the dayshift with minimal vehicle movements during the nightshift (7pm to 7am) • Deliveries (primarily during daylight hours) • Vehicles entering and exiting at shift change (between 6 to 8am/pm) • Un-planned and planned maintenance trips that cannot be completed during dayshift could occur during the nightshift (7pm to 7am) Lighting to support tunnel construction would consist of mobile lighting plant, permanent exterior safety and security lighting, and vehicle mounted lighting as outlined for the SFA construction stage. Specific lighting would be provided to support construction activities as follows: • Head, tail, and security lighting to vehicles moving in and out of the portal, to/from the rock stack and the magazine, and to/from the SFA. • Fixed lighting within the SFA to buildings (workshops, changerooms, crib room, fuel bowser) and to carparks and pedestrian walkways. • Mobile lighting plant at the rock stack for activities outside daylight hours. • Portal lighting
