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

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.

Issue Date:13/01/2021APPENDIX 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

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.

Issue Date:13/01/2021For 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.
