Key issues from BIA • Disruption to business activity from the acquisition or displacement of commercial land and businesses • Construction activity disrupting business operations, particularly for hospitals and research institutions with specialist and highly sensitive equipment • Construction activity adversely affecting the surrounding amenity disrupting business activity, particularly for retail, food and beverage and accommodation businesses • Construction activity impacting access to businesses thereby disrupting their trade, particularly impacting businesses that rely on passing trade 14

Key issues raised in submissions • Acquisition or displacement disrupting business operations • Access changes impacting business operations • Increased traffic and parking demand impacting access for staff, customers and deliveries/pick up • Amenity changes impacting business operations • Impacts to sensitive equipment and processes • Disruption to business activity from disruptions to utilities • Impact on events 16

Support Guidelines • Technical Note 045 provides guidelines for non ‐ acquired business (excluding health and education) which may be impacted by the project. • Prior to construction undertake interviews to better understand the likely impact on businesses. • Focused on engagement, communication and marketing for impacted businesses. • This would cover the vast bulk of impacts but may lack detail for unique impacts. PAGE 17

EPRs • The EPRs proposed in the exhibited EES would likely manage the majority of impacts from the Melbourne Metro Rail Project. BUT • They may not manage unique impacts AS • Business types and construction impacts varies across precincts • In reviewing other expert evidence statements, the majority of changes suggested involve adding detail to the existing EPRs to manage unique impacts PAGE 18

Refinements to EPRs • Current EPRs would manage the bulk of business impacts. • Refinements to the EPRs will provide a more detailed framework for managing the impacts for business types that are likely to be at risk of being impacted in a unique manner by the project. PAGE 19

Conclusion • The impacts of the project should be able to be managed to minimise the impact on the vast majority of businesses which may be adversely impacted. PAGE 20
