immediately after damage ore removal and as works
progress;
4. Any damage to road infrastructure is repaired and at the
cost of Country Energy and/or their contractors and subcontractors
The plan provided addresses traffic management issues that
may relate to emergency vehicle access during the upgrade.
The plan is consistent and provides assistance for Ambulance
as required. Should there be any road closures that would
impede ambulance access to areas of the community it would
be appreciated if prior written advice could be supplied about
such closures so that alternate routes can be identified. This
information would also be placed in the Ambulance Control
Centre database to identify such areas.
The traffic control information is detailed and appears to
comply with all guidelines. I have no issues with what is
proposed at this point in time.
My only request is that on the day of each operation where
traffic control will be implemented a site supervisor be
appointed to make contact with the nearest Police Station and
advise of the area the traffic control will be in effect and the
time period expected. If they are unable to contact the nearest
Police Station I would request that they attempt to make
contact with me. This exchange of information can at times be
quite valuable in organising other activities where Police area
required (i.e.: wide load escorts/etc).
As no response has been received, management response will
incorporate actions arising from Richmond Local Area
Command comments.
