Dial Before You Dig WA Limited Annual Report for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2017 Page 2 of 12 DBYD WA Limited Annual Report Financial Year Ending 30 June 2017 Letter from the Chairman It is with great pleasure that I present the Dial Before You Dig WA Limited (the Company) Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2017. The Dial Before You Dig service has been in use now in various forms for 30 years in Western Australia and continues to grow, though the downturn in the resources sector in WA in 2016 had an impact on the use of Dial Before You Dig service with a reduction on enquiries in 2015/16 volumes (from 293,688 in 2015/16 to 265,778 in 2016/17). Since the Company was established as a not for profit company in 1999, the volume of enquiries has increased by over 1,000%. It is pleasing that during this period we have continued to improve our service levels while protecting the assets of our members and improving public safety. There were a number of items of note during the year: • Support of the service remained strong, with a recorded Western Australian use of 103 enquiries per thousand people against the national average of 67 as at 30 June 2016. The marketing strategy continues to be highly successful and well supported; • Membership of the service continued to increase with the signing of 45 new Members (11 Ordinary Members and 34 Associate Members); • Over one third of the asset owner Members are now on automatic response systems with more Members investigating these systems, and ultimately delivering a fast response time to users of the service; • The delivery of over eighty awareness sessions on the benefits from the usage of the Dial Before You Dig service to protect essential infrastructure; and • The vision of “Zero damage to underground assets, Zero impact to the community” guided the Company’s strategy to achieve results in the prevention of damage to assets and associated impacts to the communities served by our Members. The Company remains financially strong, with a current equity of $1.29 million as at 30 June 2017. Our strong financial position, growth in enquiries and efficiency improvements has allowed the Company to maintain the lowest fees in Australia for many years, and return benefits back to our Members. The key objective for the Company throughout this year has been to deliver a value adding service to our Members and Users by helping to protect underground assets in Western Australia. Taking this into account, the following will be our main areas of focus in the coming year: • Work closely with Local Government to encourage membership of the Company to assist the protection of their infrastructure; • Develop and implement strategies and programs to ensure that quality information is provided to the Users of the service; and • Engage and educate the Users of our service to ensure its effective use as well as best practice when operating in proximity to the assets of our members. The Essential First Step. Dial Before You Dig WA Limited Annual Report for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2017 Page 3 of 12 DBYD WA Limited Annual Report Financial Year Ending 30 June 2017 1 The Year in Review The usage of the Dial Before You Dig service continues to be well supported. A total of 265,778 enquiries were received in 2016/17 across Western Australia, representing a decrease of 9.5% as compared to the previous year as illustrated by Figure 1. Figure 1: Number of Enquiries per year 350,000 300,000 250,000 200,000 150,000 Enquiries 100,000 50,000 0 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 ENQUIRIES / YEAR 145,083 195,125 228,041 263,055 293,688 265,778 The financial performance of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2017, as depicted in Figure 2 below, has remained solid during the period with Company able to continue to hold its pricing to 2014/2015 levels.

The increased Cost of Goods Sold is primarily a result of the new terms from a renewed agreement with a key The Essential First Step.

The increased Operating Expenses reflect the full year cost of the new office for Dial Before You Dig as well as an increase to the overall labour service charges from the Association of Australian Dial Before You Dig Services Pty Ltd (AADBYDS) to Dial Before You Dig WA Limited (the Company). 1.1 Membership Growth The Company enjoyed continued strong growth in its membership with thirteen new Ordinary Members and thirty-three new Associate Members joining throughout the financial year.

Dial Before You Dig WA Limited Annual Report for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2017 Page 6 of 12 DBYD WA Limited Annual Report Financial Year Ending 30 June 2017 Local Government Authorities were identified as a potential group that would benefit from membership of the Company. Consequently, non-member Local Government Authorities were targeted during the financial year. It was pleasing that six Local Government Authorities recognised the benefits of the service and joined, with a number also considering membership. The number of Members at the end of the financial year 2017 was 320 members. There has been steady growth of Associate Members over the last three years, with Ordinary Member numbers increasing significantly over the last two years.

The Bob Hawke College Board was very pleased to learn that the application made on 6 March 2020 for a Type A Children’s Crossing on Railway Parade, cnr Northwood Street (refer Figure 1) was approved on 7 July 2020 by the Children’s Crossings and Road Safety Committee. Figure 1: Red marker indicating approved location for Type A Children’s Crossing At a meeting on site on 25 August, it was suggested by members of the Children’s Crossings and Road Safety Committee to the Principal of Bob Hawke College (Mr John Burke) that the expected timeframe for the construction of the Type A Crossing could be longer than 18 months. Given the urgency of the issue, this timeframe is too long and places the children 1 who currently and in the future will cross at this location at significant and unacceptable risk. We are urgently writing to obtain your support and commitment to a rapid design, cost estimate, MRWA lines and signs approval process and scheduling oF road works by the Town oF Cambridge prior to commencement oF the next school year (1 February 2021).

  • (E)Merging 2020
    (e)merging 2020 2 Arrange whatever pieces come your way – Virginia Woolf, A Writer’s Diary Being the emerging curators of an exhibition of emerging artists with an open call out performs a tension between posturing and proselytising. The collective nature of (e)merging 2020 has shifted all the familiar rules and roles involved in exhibition making, and the intensity and immensity of this project is unparalleled in our experience. In 2019, Room01 Collective had our inaugural exhibition at First Floor Gallery, YMCA HQ in Leederville. Titled (cross)hatched, the exhibition was informed partly by the dwindling number of artists selected in the Hatched National Graduate Show at PICA (from 35 artists in 2017 to 18 artists in 2019, with just three from Western Australia). What started as a conversation about institutional critique between friends at a university enthusiastically transpired into a celebration of recent graduate practice. We salon-hung the works of 33 artists into 26 square metres of floor space in a single day. In 2020, our pieces drastically changed. Our Collective went from eight members to two, we gained 367 square metres of floor space in Old Customs House and the generous support of Artsource. We are proud to present the work of 42 artists, all within the first three years of their practice. This year, we wanted to function less as institutional irritant and to instead welcome and nurture collaborative curatorial and emerging artistic practice. Alongside the exhibition we presented a series of professional development workshops, open to all exhibiting artists. We have learned immensely from mentors in the field and are especially grateful for the support of Madeleine van der List, Leah Robbie and Sandra Murray.
