3 SCOPE The Sydney Football Stadium Redevelopment Stage 2 and the Stadium Fitness Facility (SFF) projects (in this document both are jointly referred to as the Project) are an Infrastructure NSW initiative to build a new rectangular stadium. The Project is part of the SCSGT Precinct, adjacent to the SCSGT and part of the wider Moore Park sports and entertainment precinct, The Sydney Football Stadium Redevelopment Stage 2 works include Detailed design, construction and operation of a new stadium comprising: • construction of the stadium, including: • 45,000 seats (additional 10,000 - person capacity in the playing field in concert mode) in four tiers including general admission areas, members seating and corporate I premium seating; • roof cover over all permanent seats and a rectangular playing pitch; • a mezzanine level with staff and operational areas; • internal pedestrian circulation zones, media facilities and other administration areas on the seating levels; • a basement level (at the level of the playing pitch) accommodating pedestrian and vehicular circulation zones, 50 car parking spaces, facilities for teams and officials, media and broadcasting areas, storage and internal loading areas; • food and drink kiosks, corporate and media facilities; and • four signage zones. • construction and establishment of the public domain within the site, including: • hard and soft landscaping works; • publicly accessible event and operational areas; • public art; and • provision of pedestrian and cycling facilities. • wayfinding signage and lighting design within the site; • reinstatement of the existing Moore Park Carpark 1 (MP1) upon completion of construction works with 540 at-grade car parking spaces and vehicular connection to the new stadium basement level; • operation and use of the new stadium and the public domain areas within the site for a range of sporting and entertainment events; and • extension and augmentation of utilities and infrastructure. The Stadium Fitness Facility (SFF) scope is as follows: The Stadium Fitness Facility (SFF) is owned and operated by Venues NSW and provides fitness amenities for members of the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground. Stadium Fitness Facilities is integrated into the SFS redevelopment and will reinstate the facilities that operated in conjunction with the former, demolished stadium on the site. The proposed Stadium Fitness Facilities comprise: A low level pavilion building located behind the southern entry abutment wall and a basement level structure, which is largely integrated into the under-croft space beneath the approved SFS entry stairs to accommodate 1. Gymnasium, training area and three group fitness areas. 2. Two squash courts, sauna, spa and steam room as well as wet and dry change rooms. 3. Day spa and treatment rooms 4. Café with indoor and outdoor seating 5. 25 metre (m) and a 50m open-air swimming pool. 6. Function spaces on the rooftop, poolside and at the café for members and their guests. 7.

The Stadium Fitness Facilities will largely occupy the vacant under-croft space below the SFS entry stairs, being largely imperceptible and occupying land that already forms part of the approved SFS redevelopment footprint. A modest pavilion building, swimming pools, and minor outdoor structures will also occupy land that was formerly used for the Indoor Cricket Centre, part of the Sydney Cricket Ground’s (SCG) practice area, part of a tennis court, and part of the wall extending from the Moore Park Terraces to the south along Driver Avenue. This small area of additional land is controlled by Venues NSW and has been integrated into the site as part of the Stage 1 SSD DA (9249). The Project is located at 40-44 Driver Avenue, Moore Park within the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Precinct bounded by Moore Park Road to the north, Paddington Lane to the east, the existing SCG to the south, Driver Avenue to the west, and is located within the City of Sydney local government area and is described as “40-44 Driver Avenue, Moore Park (Part Lot 1528 and Part Lot 1530 DP 752011 and Lot 1 DP 205794). The site is largely surrounded by Centennial and Moore Parks, the Fox Studios and Entertainment Quarter precincts and the residential suburb of Paddington. The site is approximately 3km from the Sydney CBD and approximately 2km from Central Station, is connected to Sydney’s transport network through existing bus routes and will benefit from a dedicated stop on the Sydney CBD and South East Light Rail.

APPENDIX D: FAUNA RESCUE PROCEDURE SCOPE This procedure is applicable to all native and introduced fauna species that are found in the Project site. PURPOSE This procedure outlines the correct process to follow for the interaction with any fauna on site during construction activities. In particular, the clearing operations. This procedure will cover instances where fauna is shocked, trapped, injured, or if eggs or juvenile fauna are discovered. TRAINING This procedure will be communicated during the site induction, during toolboxes and during development of the Activity Method Statements (AMS). RESPONSIBILITIES The Principal Environmental Representative for John Holland (PER) in conjunction with the consultant ecologist will have the responsibility of ensuring this procedure is followed. INSW will be notified in the event of any incidents that occur. PROCEDURE Stop work if encountering any Fauna within work area If fauna is not injured allow it to move out of work area. If fauna will not move out of work area due to injury or other reasons, contact the PER. The PER is to contact the ecologist or WIRES Rescue (1300 094 737) as necessary. Contacts are; WIRES (Rescue Hotline) 1300 094 737 Bondi Junction Veterinary Hospital (02) 9389 8411 12 Ebley St, Bondi Junction NSW 2022 Alexandria Vet Hospital (02) 9698 4120 1/138-142 Botany Rd, Alexandria NSW 2015 Project Ecologist – WSP (Clementine Watson) (02) 9272 5228 Injured Fauna • Be handled by a person licensed to handle fauna only. • Do not approach the injured animal unless directed to by ecologist, or WIRES Rescue (1800 094 737). • Do NOT approach snakes, monitor lizards (goannas), bats (flying-foxes or microbats), large macropods (kangaroos or wallabies) or raptors (eagles, falcons or hawks). These animals require specialist handling and MUST be rescued by trained wildlife rescuers. • Minimise stress to fauna – cover fauna with large blanket or towel and place in a cotton bag and contain the animal inside a pet carrier. • Retain the animal in a quiet, warm location that is well ventilated • The PER will contact the relevant fauna rescue service and /or local veterinary surgery Once the rescue agency arrives at the site, they are responsible for the animal. Any decisions regarding the care of the animal will be made by the rescue agency. • In the event the rescue service and/or local veterinary service cannot be contacted, the PER and/or the Ecologist will deliver the injured/captured animal to the rescue agency within 24hrs.

For Threatened Fauna Species • Advise the Project Manager and cease all work that may affect the threatened species. • Notify the EES (threatened species unit) and consult with EES on proposed Management strategies for the species. DPIE must be also notified if EPBC Act listed threatened species that were not previously identified are found. • Do not recommence work likely to affect the threatened species until the EES have given advice to do so. • Relocation of fauna species of conservation significance will be undertaken by WIRES or a suitably aboristed fauna specialist in consultation with EES. • PER to record the location, number, species, relocation of the threatened species. For Venomous reptiles, or raptors, etc. • Only to be handled by an appropriately trained and registered handler. • If the animal cannot be handled (i.e. venomous reptiles), the exact location of the animal is to be recorded and provided to the appropriate rescue agency and all workers to be excluded from the vicinity. Release Process If the animal is not injured or stressed it may be released in an appropriate area in consultation with WIRES, in accordance with the following: • If fauna is not injured and able to be relocated, PER or ecologist (in consultation with WIRES) to identify suitable relocation site for any rescued fauna • If the species is nocturnal, release will be carried out at dusk. • The release area will be as close to the original habitat as possible in an area that is not to be disturbed by the construction. • No release would take place during periods of heavy rainfall, unless WIRES or the ecologist determines that the animal is too stressed to be held any longer.

APPENDIX E: CLEARING PERMIT Section 1: Permit Details Permit Number: External Permit Required? Yes / No If yes, specify External Permit Number: Clearing Location (Chainage / Surveyed Site Environmental Plan (SEP) number: location / GPS Coordinates): Proposed Start Date / Time: Proposed Completion Date / Time: Description of Work: Section 2: Pre-Clearing Requirements Y/N Comments Have the clearing limits been physically delineated? Have the necessary sediment controls been established (clean water diversion bunds, etc.)? Have all habitat trees been identified and flagged off with an adequate buffer zone? Are any habitat trees planned for clearing? If yes, a hold point is required. Have high value or threatened flora species been fenced off with NO GO ZONE bunting clear of the canopy line to prevent clearing, parking, stockpiling, excavation near the tree root zone? Do seeds need to be collected for reuse in rehabilitation? Will habitat elements i.e. log, or branches be stockpiled for later use in rehabilitation? Are there weed infested topsoil areas that need to be managed? If the timber is being mulched, is it to be stored onsite in stockpiles? Has the approved SEP, showing ecologically sensitive areas, been provided to and understood by the plant operator and supervisor Has a physical walk around of the clearing boundary been conducted with each plant operator (and spotter if required)? Section 3: Permit Conditions / Approval Mandatory Permit Conditions: • The clearing limits must be physically delineated, and clearing must not occur outside these limits • No go zones must not be entered or damaged at any time Revision No: B Document Number: SFS-JHG-PLN-CEMP-006 When printed this document is an uncontrolled version and must be checked against the IMS electronic version for validity Issue Date:13/01/2021 Page 46 of 48
• If fauna or protected flora are discovered during clearing works, contact the PER • If any habitat trees are to be cleared, these must be left for a minimum of 24 hours after the first stage of clearing (refer to Hold Point – see Section 4). • Risks associated with clearing must be included in the TRA (e.g. over clearing, clearing outside the clearing limits, encountering fauna, rare flora, cultural heritage items etc.) (Hand write any additional conditions / instructions below) I understand and accept the permit conditions detailed above.
