When a pollution incident, as defined in Section (2) below, occurs the regulatory bodies listed on Page 1 must be immediately notified. The Branch Manager / Operation Manager / Operations Coordinator / Transport Supervisor is responsible for notifying the relevant regulator/s, but they may be assisted by the internal Cleanaway Environment and/or the Health & Safety team. 2.0 DEFINITION OF POLLUTION INCIDENT Under NSW Regulations: The definition of a pollution incident is: “Pollution incident means an incident or set of circumstances during or as a consequence of which there is or is likely to be a leak, spill or other escape or deposit of a substance, as a result of which pollution has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur. It includes an incident or set of circumstances in which a substance has been placed or disposed of on premises, but it does not include an incident or set of circumstances involving only the emission of any noise.” A pollution incident is required to be notified if there is a risk of ‘material harm to the environment’, which is defined in section 147 of the POEO Act as: (a) Harm to the environment is material if: (i) It involves actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to ecosystems that is not trivial, or (ii) It results in actual or potential loss or property damage of an amount, or amounts in aggregate, exceeding $10,000 (or such other amount as is prescribed by the regulations), and (b) Loss includes the reasonable costs and expenses that would be incurred in taking all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent, mitigate or make good harm to the environment. Industry is now required to report pollution incidents immediately to ALL Regulatory Bodies. Page 3 of 17 Uncontrolled document when printed Version: December 2020 3.0 NOTIFICATION OF POLLUTION INCIDENTS & PRE-EMPTIVE ACTIONS Call 000 if the incident presents an immediate threat to human health, the environment or property. If the incident clearly requires notification, e.g. truck rollover losing all contents and liquid entering creek, the driver MUST notify 000 immediately, followed by notification to the Branch Manager / Operation Manager / Operations Coordinator / Transport Supervisor responsible for the fleet / job being completed. This Manager / Supervisor is then required to notify the remaining external regulators on page 1. If the driver is unsure if the incident requires notification, they will advise the Branch Manager / Operation Manager / Operations Coordinator / Transport Supervisor that an incident has occurred and provide as much detail as possible. The Manager / Supervisor to determine if notification is appropriate. The driver and the Branch Manager / Operation Manager / Operations Coordinator / Transport Supervisor is to assist the Fire Brigade as far as practical in the clean-up and/or by liaising with local residents potentially impacted by the incident. To minimise the risk of an environmental incident occurring, the driver will undertake a Daily Prestart check and Monthly Compliance check in alignment with Cleanaway’s Standard Operating Procedures. The business will undertake regular inspections and preventative maintenance on all vehicles to ensure the vehicle is in good working order and all safety / spill response equipment is in working order. The business has developed the following incident response flow chart to assist in the event of an incident. See Section 3.1 on the next page. Page 4 of 17 Uncontrolled document when printed Version: December 2020 3.1 Incident Response Flow Chart Page 5 of 17 Uncontrolled document when printed Version: December 2020 4.0 BUSINESS UNIT CONTACT NUMBERS Please note, this section has been removed from the version published on the Cleanaway website. Members of the community can contact the Community Hotline on 1800 213 753 to raise any queries, complaints or concerns with the business. 5.0 COMMUNICATING WITH NEIGHBOURS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY [clause 98C(1)(i)] Impacts on the broader community are variable and depend on location, or other factors such as wind direction and velocity. In the event of a pollution incident occurring (such as a Fire) which has the potential to impact residential areas, communication methods will be used on a case by case basis and in all situations Cleanaway will liaise with Local Council (see Appendix A for contact numbers) and Fire and Rescue to provide early warnings to directly affected residents by the mechanisms described below. Early warnings are to include details of what the imminent incident is and how those affected can prepare and respond to the incident. The notification shall provide specific information to the neighbouring properties and local community, so it can minimise the risk of harm. In the event of a pollution incident Cleanaway, in consultation with Local Council, will attempt to provide early warning to directly the community by the following mechanisms as appropriate: • Telephone calls or door knocking (where appropriate); • Mail box drops; • Warning signs; • Local media source (radio/newspapers); and • Council webpage updates and media releases; 6.0 STAFF TRAINING AND TESTING PLAN Toolbox meetings & emergency response training are provided to Cleanaway staff. Training is also provided for the use of the site PIRMP / Transport PIRMP to ensure that all staff are aware of the content, processes and requirements of the plan and competently implement if necessary. Plans must be tested routinely at least once every 12 months. The testing is to be carried out in such a manner as to ensure that the information included in the plan is accurate and up to date, and that each plan is capable of being implemented in a workable and effective manner. Testing may include: • Desktop scenarios, or • Physical Scenarios Testing records will be maintained in the site training register and/or electronically on the ‘MyOSH’ database (entered as a completed action). Page 6 of 17 Uncontrolled document when printed Version: December 2020 Plans must also be tested within one month of any pollution incident occurring, where the incident occurred in the course of an activity listed on the licence. An assessment as to whether the information included in the plan is accurate and up to date, and the plan is still capable of being implemented in a workable and effective manner must occur.

  • Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor
    UDIA NSW | 2020 Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor $2.7 billion is currently held as a restricted asset by Councils for the delivery of infrastructure • The current total balance of contributions held across the Greater Sydney megaregion is $2.7 billion, with the average amount held by a Council sitting at $56 million. • Every year new housing contributes almost $900 million to local infrastructure, Executive roads, stormwater, open space and community facilities across the Greater Sydney megaregion through the infrastructure charging framework. It is expected Summary that this infrastructure is built with the funds that are paid. • However, only 64% of the contributions that are paid for were spent in the last three years. Average Total Expenditure Total Income Balance E/I ($’000) ($’000) ($’000) Total 0.64 $650,679 $876,767 $2,653,316 Contributions Under a s7.11 0.85 $564,670 $711,912 $2,330,289 or s7.12 Under a s7.4 0.62 $41,640 $124,180 $259,501 The amount of unspent funding has increased over the past three years • Since FY16 total unspent contributions have increased 33% from $1.98 billion to over $2.65 billion. Executive • In the last year alone unspent contributions increased by 7.8%, or almost $191 million. Summary • Local Government must resolve local issues to ensure that infrastructure is actually provided on the ground. If necessary, the State Government should step-in to support Councils get infrastructure on the ground. Increased funding does not correlate to increased infrastructure delivery • The scatter graphs here show an extremely weak relationship between cash held and expenditure ratios.
