(d) environmental monitoring;

(e) roles and responsibilities;

(f) means of communication, record keeping, reporting, auditing and review;

(g) complaints procedures;

(h) nuisance management including measures to avoid or minimise the impacts of construction works (covering dust, lighting, noise and vibration);
