3/10
|
EPA to advise whether EPA has any concerns
if Terminals P/L wishes to provide its Annual Report on the Coode Island
facility to the CICCC at the same time it provides it to EPA.
|
Kerry
|
EPA has
no objections but people need to understand that EPA will in future require
an Annual Performance Statement in place of an Annual Report. I will email
an example of the Performance Statement to Robin for distribution.
|
|
|
3/10-3
|
Terminals to circulate 2009 Annual Report
one month before May 7 meeting, and Robin to list on agenda the report for
presentation and discussion.
|
Robin
|
We have
copies of the 2009 Annual Community Report and EPA Report (1 copy only).
Will defer discussion until Item 4 on the Agenda.
|
5/10-1
|
Carlo
to bring both forms of 2009 Annual Report to the August meeting. Done
|
5/10-2
|
Robin to ring Kerry Murphy about future
arrangements for EPA representation at CICCC meetings.
|
Kerry
|
I do
think you are better with Mark being in attendance at this committee meeting
as he is Terminals’ Client Manager. Mark will continue from the December
meeting. If you want Quentin to come to the meeting then it is part of
Mark’s job to bring you the right technical specialist and to keep you
informed.
|
Ian
|
Thank
you Kerry for your involvement so far.
|
Robin
|
Kerry
has done a great job at both committee meetings. We will be looking forward
to Mark continuing on in the same way. The community representatives thank
Kerry for her valuable contribution in the past.
|
Kerry
|
There
is a lot going on within the EPA at the moment. There will be 12
consultation sessions across the state in September and I will let Robin know
so you can attend as your input into that would be great. Community
Reference Group’s are the sounding board to the EPA. John Merritt is calling
for nominations in early September. Another interesting item coming up is
Terminals accreditation at Geelong. John is concerned about the lack of
community support at that site. Your advice as a CLC holder would be of
assistance to John.

|
|

|
|
- Melbourne operator retired

|

Incidents
|
M/10/12
|
Whilst
unloading ship the dock line became blocked.
|
Faye
|
As a
result of the language difficulty between shore and ship is there a
possibility of the check list being written in other languages.
|
Peter
|
We have
no authority on the ship. We sign off check list with the Captain of the
ship who can speak English but we have no other authority on the ship.
|
Robin
|
Seems
to me whoever is responsible for the ship that duty should fall onto them.
Is it the Port of Melbourne Authority? Why doesn’t this committee write to
the PoMC. Suggest that material be provided in different languages. The
task of putting check list should not be a big deal in this day and age.
|
Peter
|
We have
had many discussions with the PoMC about this.
|
Robin
|
The PoMC
should be able to take punitive action should the ship not pass on
information.
|
Ian
|
Something
of this seriousness we should do something about it. In my experience the
issue is the jurisdiction on board is completely separate and a bureaucratic
nightmare. PoMC do have the power to require action. In the first instance
it should be a letter to the PoMC.
|
Peter
|
A few
years earlier we had an odour problem. The EPA had no authority over the
ship and could not take action until the odour was proved to go across the
land.
|
Faye
|
If the
groups could get together and provide translators it adds to the safety of
the port.
|
Deborah
|
It
would be interesting to know how other ports deal with this such as Hong
Kong.
|
Peter
|
We are
only a very small part of the port. The letter to the Melbourne Port
Corporation would be a good start.
|
ACTION
|
Robin to draft letter to PoMC
|
Col
|
After
this incident we told PoMC that we were raising an incident report so Robin
if you could mention that in your letter. (Incident report No. M/10/12 dated
28/06/10).
|
Ian
|
There
is also the issue of gaining access to Emergency Information at the Terminals
site.
|
Peter
|
The
information is inside the site where it is accessible for the emergency
services such as Fire Brigade, Worksafe, etc.
|
|
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AUTHORITY
|
Kerry
|
The
main thing is the licence reform program. Progressively working through the
licences. The new reformed licence is going to look different (handed out a
generic licence). EPA need to write another condition that deals with their
specific site. Terminals will look at their licence; they will be given a 21
day timeframe to do so.
The EPA
is going to run a workshop with regard to the licence. Need to know whether
this committee would like to take part in a workshop or just be given the
information?
|
Ian
|
Is the
EPA running a workshop with everyone affected?
|
Kerry
|
No just
the committee members interested. We don’t have to do it as a workshop.
|
Robin
|
The
TGCCC are having a workshop prior to the committee meeting. You have
suggested Thursday 7/10/10 is there any objections at the same time?
|
Deborah
|
Would
Tuesday 12/10/10 be okay?
|
Robin
|
Yes
12/10/10 @ 6:30pm at the same City of Maribyrnong conference room. The
workshop will look at the new licence conditions.
|
Theo
|
I will
confirm that the conference room is available for that time.
|
Robin
|
Kerry will
you circulate information prior to the workshop.
|
ACTION
|
Kerry to provide a copy of the proposed
licence and what has been changed prior to the special meeting on 12/10/2010.
|
Kerry
|
Terminals
will have been given a copy of their final licence. At the workshop there
will be people from the Licence Reform Group. I will make sure you have the
right level of expertise.
|
Ian
|
Under
the dangerous goods the CFA require more detailed drawings. The EPA would
need storm water drains, sewerage discharge point etc. The sort of detail
that is done for the CFA would need to be mirrored for the EPA.
|
Kerry
|
Enforcement
of the licence, seeking developing up compliance and enforcement will send
information.
|
Robin
|
Compliance
review timing?
|
Kerry
|
Within
the next week.
|
Robin
|
I will
be away 10/9 to 6/10 so if you could please send information through to Sue
Chatterton.
|
Kerry
|
There
is a white paper which will be turned into an Act on 31/8/10.
|
Deborah
|
The
white paper you referred to is that on your website?
|
Kerry
|
Yes
|
|
MARIBYRNONG COUNCIL
|
Theo
|
- No planning issues
presented to the council.
|
|
- Former CEO has taken a
position with the Wyndham council
|
|
- Every 2 years updating the
“When Industry is Your Neighbour community awareness campaign”. This
contains general information and a few phone numbers. It is a colour
brochure and a fridge magnet.
|
Faye
|
With
regard to the poster would you contemplate not changing the colours? One of
the things I get used to is the colour of different information on your fridge
and you know immediately where to look when its needed. Also good for
children to identify if you keep the same colour.
|
Theo
|
I will
take note of that.
|
Robin
|
Thank
you Theo
