Table 35: Summary of further consultation with Seafood Industry Victoria and Victorian Rock Lobster Association Date Information provided Feedback given, Issues Raised Origin’s response, including outcomes proposed or achieved Summary of Origin’s assessment and response 10/8/17 A discussion on Origin’s Oil Spill Response for Otway Operations was provided to SIV & VRLA (VRLA via Video Conference) which covered the following items: Framework of controls Structure of the OPEP Escalation and Notification Difference in ‘oils’ Fate of an oil spill Oil Spill Scenarios Oil Spill Response Response Priorities Response Strategies On-going monitoring VRLA raised concerns regarding the level of involvement of local responders (such as the Apollo Bay Harbour) and expectations and assumptions from Government agencies regarding actual conditions as against the assumptions included in plans. The concern is whether there is a disconnect between the plan developed by DEDJTR / Earth Resources Division and the ‘on the ground' conditions under which local agencies operate. The example provided was that there is silting in Apollo Bay which could restrict vessel movement in the event of an emergency. Origin followed up with the Marine Pollution Team, Emergency management Division within DEDJTR and passed their information onto VRLA, as follows: The state runs a multi-agency exercise annually to test the governance and strategic consequence management associated with our state plans. The Victorian coastline is divided into 4 regions and each section is coordinated by the major port. They run at least one operational exercise each year with the port and trained officers. A number of training courses in shoreline and equipment operation are run each year. SIV acknowledged Origin’s response and passed onto the new Harbour Master at Apollo Bay. Origin had a subsequent conversation with the Harbour Master to ensure he had our contact details and see if he had further questions. Wanted to know if Origin would use Apollo Bay Harbour in the event of any emergencies. Advised Origin’s emergency response specialist would call and explain approach for operations and projects. Origin’s emergency response specialist contacted the Harbour Master and confirmed that Apollo Bay is not currently identified as a base location for a response. There may be a requirement that a vessel of opportunity is engaged in the region to support scientific monitoring.
email of 31/10 had been forward to his inbox. Tasmanian Abalone Council Limited The Tasmanian Abalone Council (TAC) is the voice of the fishery, representing divers, non-diving processors and exporters. 21/09/2017 27/09/2017 & 30/10/17 01/11/2017 Email and information sheet on revision of EP and update to OPEP Follow up call and emailed copy of information to CEO. Phoned again in October and left a message. Called CEO of Tasmanian Abalone Council: - CEO apologised for not getting back to us but he has been away - He noted that the information had been sent through - He had forwarded the emails to his Abalone colleagues in Victoria - As we had not had a response from them CEO’s view was they would not be concerned - He will re-contact his colleagues in Victoria - Origin explained the OPEP and that some Tasmanian fisheries are in the ZPI - CEO committed to reviewing the materials and will get back to Origin early next week. Once stakeholders have reviewed the information Origin will undertake any further consultation required to answer their questions or concerns. Tasmanian Rock Lobster Fisherman's Association The Tasmanian Rock Lobster Fishermen’s 03/04/2017 21/09/2017 Information Sheet and covering email Email and information sheet on revision of EP and update to OPEP Explained engagement with EPA and offered to make contact should any questions arise from the Board or members. No further action required
Tasmanian Association for Recreational Fishing. TARFish is the fully independent peak body representing the interests of recreational marine fishers in Tasmania 21/09/2017 (email) 26/09/2017 (phone call) Email and information sheet on revision of EP and update to OPEP. Stakeholder advised that due to distance of platform from shore they would not expect there is much impact to Tasmanian Recreational Fishers. Origin explained the potential for loss of containment scenarios to travel into Tasmanian waters. Stakeholder explained that TARFish have an ongoing relationship with EPA and would be engaged by EPA if an incident occurred. Stakeholder advised that TARFish members rely on the association to review information and only pass on what is deemed relevant. Stakeholder expects that Origin would communicate to TARFish members in the event of an incident as part of Origin's communications with general public (i.e., rather than directly to members). Origin suggested that, after TARFish have fully reviewed the information provided, if there was a need to undertake further consultation with members please to contact us. Continue to engage with Tasmanian EPA as primary contact point in relation to OPEP and potential loss of containment. Consultation Summary - Tasmanian State Government stakeholders Stakeholder Date Information provided, Feedback given, Issues Raised Origin’s response, including outcomes proposed or achieved Summary of Origin’s assessment and response Dept of Primary Industry, Parks, Water and Environment - Principal Fisheries 21/9/2017 – 25/9/2017 Email and information sheet on revision of EP and update to OPEP. Stakeholders confirmed that EPA are the correct stakeholder for information. Also, provided contact details for Tasmanian Origin confirmed that we consult with EPA as part of the development and update to the OPEP. Continue to consult with Tasmanian EPA. Continue to consult with Tasmanian Seafood Industry Council.
