  • Professionals Australia's Response on Behalf of Members in Relation to The
    Professionals Australia’s response on behalf of members in relation to the proposed restructure PA met with engineers who work in the Engineering Division on two occasions at WNSW Parramatta offices with members dialling-in from regional NSW. PA encouraged members to put forward their professional views on the proposed restructure on whether it addressed existing problems. PA has received some very detailed responses from our members. It is clear there is a high level of concern that the restructure will have undesired impacts on both employees and the functions of Engineering. Many members have taken the opportunity to respond directly to the WNSW email address set up for feedback. This submission does not repeat those comments. This submission is concerned with the first order issue – Does the restructure enhance the undertaking of engineering functions by WaterNSW or not? The next level of concerns which appear to be the main focus of the input provided via the WNSW email are the detail of position descriptions and the arrangements for filling the structure. We understand such matters have also attracted a large number of comments and concerns from members. However, those issues arise only when the first order issue is satisfied. The focus of this submission is whether the restructure has accurately identified the deficiencies and whether the proposal will address those deficiencies. What can a restructure address? A restructure can address issues such as resourcing levels, specific function focus and functional alignment. It cannot address issues caused by dysfunctional organisational behaviour, lack of effective processes, etc. Does the restructure enhance engineering functions at WNSW? The view of WNSW engineers is that overall the restructure will not result in the enhanced performance of the engineering functions required by WNSW.

CD-ROM of this document plus images obtained to date - 1 - - 2 - 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Fish River Water Supply Scheme [FRWS] is a medium size but important water supply with the headwaters in the Central Highlands of NSW, west of the Great Dividing Range and to the south of Oberon. It supplies water in an area from Oberon, north to Portland, Mount Piper Power Station and beyond, and east, across the Great Dividing Range, to Wallerawang town, Wallerawang Power Station, Lithgow and the Upper Blue Mountains. It is the source of water for many small to medium communities, including Rydal, Lidsdale, Cullen Bullen, Glen Davis and Marrangaroo, as well as many rural properties through which its pipelines pass. It was established by Act of Parliament in 1945 as a Trading Undertaking of the NSW State Government. The FRWS had its origins as a result of the chronic water supply problems of the towns of Lithgow, Wallerawang, Portland and Oberon from as early as 1937, which were exacerbated by the 1940-43 drought.

  • Dam Failure Warning and Evacuation Planning in New South Wales
    DAM FAILURE WARNING AND EVACUATION PLANNING IN NEW SOUTH WALES: RECENT PROGRESS AND THE FORWARD PROGRAM Chas Keys State Planning Co-ordinator NSW State Emergency Service Planning for the kinds of floods which would follow the failure of large water storage dams is relatively new in Australia. In New South Wales it began in the late 1980s following the realisation, based on improved scientific comprehension of severe weather and flood events, that some dams had spillways which were incapable of safely passing very severe floods. For a time progress was slow as far as plan development was concerned but over the past year or two it has picked up significantly. Several plans, under preparation for a considerable length of time, have been completed to final draft stage and a number of new ones have been started. At the same time the ‘rules’ by which the planning is being done and on which responses to dam-failure would be based have been fine-tuned. Moreover, the shape of the future planning program and associated activities can be seen with increasing clarity. Until quite recently the State Emergency Service was, like most emergency management organisations in this country, much more oriented towards responding to emergencies than in preparing to respond to them. Planning, as a consequence, was not given a high priority and there were few trained planners appointed to the organisation and few resources allocated to them. Activities involving planning for floods were in their infancy and planning expertise was lacking. Accordingly, the organisation was not well placed to react quickly when, in the mid-1980s, the PMP/PMF revisions made it clear that several of the state’s major water storage dams had inadequate spillway capacities and were in a few cases quite dangerously underdesigned in terms of their security during significant flood events.

The continued importance of agriculture, forestry, lifestyle and tourism is acknowledged and planning actions are included in this document to ensure ongoing viability in these areas. However we must also be cognisant of the fact that the use of agricultural land is changing across the country. Council is looking at planning strategies to increase employment opportunities in both the manufacturing and farming sectors through value adding and new development. Currently Oberon is enjoying popularity as a lifestyle option with many new residents choosing to move here and embrace our lifestyle. The LSPS looks to expand upon this trend and analyse what will be required to further enhance the popularity of Oberon whilst minimising risks to new residents posed by bushfire, flooding and other natural disasters. “Oberon – more than you imagine” is the vision of Council community strategic plan with the mission being “A prosperous town, village and rural communities set amongst the rolling hills, rivers, forests, mountains and caves of the Great Divide. Breathe fresh air in a landscape of light, colour and seasonal beauty.
