5 PORT ACTIVITY MAPPING There are numerous activities occurring in the local port of Port Phillip. Many safety and environmental hazards and risks are associated with these activities. Information about the activities that occur around Port Phillip was supplied by Parks Victoria staff based at the 6 workcentres around the port and other Parks Victoria staff involved in the management of bay infrastructure and moorings as well from consultation with stakeholder groups. A summary of the activities for Port Phillip is shown in Appendix 2. Activities are listed as to where within the port they occur so that all aspects of each activity are captured. “In CoM waters” refers to activity on the water within Committee of Management areas. “Port waters” means the waters of the ports outside the Committee of Management areas. A comprehensive activity map has been prepared that includes all the activities for Port Phillip (Appendix 3). The map lists the activities around each of the Committee of Management areas comprising the piers and jetties. This is further divided into “on port land”, “on pier or jetty” including activities associated with berthed boats and “within CoM waters” and also the activities occurring further out in the “port waters” of the local port. The “port waters” are divided into local management areas managed by each of the 6 Parks Victoria workcentres around the local port. This activity map also summarises at how many localities each activity occurs. For each activity in the local port, it has been identified whether Parks Victoria has a lead role in management, partially manages or does not manage that activity. In summary there are 8 groups of activities, that Parks Victoria manages or partially manages, occurring in the local port of Port Phillip. They are: • Group 1 Recreational boating – includes yachting and power boating (7 activities) • Group 2 Other recreational activities including swimming, diving, parasailing and walking along piers (18 activities) • Group 3 Commercial boating – includes commercial fishing, tour operators, charter boats and ferries (7 activities) • Group 4 Other commercial activities including retail sales, filming and selling of fish (5 activities) • Group 5 Provision of access (4 activities) • Group 6 Provision and maintenance of infrastructure (6 activities) • Group 7 Berthing and mooring (5 activities) • Group 8 Boat maintenance (6 activities). These groupings were also informed by a visitor segmentation study using data gathered during visitor satisfaction surveys on piers around Port Phillip Bay between 2000 and 2004. (Parks Victoria, 2004). In addition there are 41 activities identified as occurring in the local port that Parks Victoria does not manage. These are listed in Appendix 5. The activities that Parks Victoria manages or partially manages are listed in Appendix 4. 14 Safety and environment management plan for the local port of Port Phillip
RISK ASSESSMENT 6 Effective management of hazards and their associated risks involves a structured and systematic approach to analysing and assessing risk, which enables controls to be targeted to provide efficient, cost-effective solutions, which achieve the desired safety and environmental outcomes. Each activity in the local port, for which Parks Victoria has a lead role in management or a partial role in management, was taken forward and examined in the risk assessment process followed by an assessment of the adequacy of controls for managing the activity. Risk assessments and an analysis of the adequacy of controls were not undertaken for activities not managed by Parks Victoria. Risk assessments were not undertaken for tenants activities. 6.2 Risk assessment process Parks Victoria’s risk management process involves the systematic application of the following six steps of: 1 Establishing the context 2 Identifying the risks 3 Analysing the risks 4 Evaluating the risks 5 Treating the risks 6 Monitoring and Review 6.1 Risk assessment framework The development of the risk assessment framework for the SEMPs is based on Parks Victoria’s Corporate Risk Management Strategy (Parks Victoria, 2003b). Parks Victoria’s Risk Management Strategy and Risk Management process is based on the application of the Australian / New Zealand Standard, (AS/NZS 4360: 2004) Risk Management (Standards Australia, 2004), and the Guidelines For Managing Risk In The Australian Public Service. Definitions used within the framework are outlined in Appendix 6. This is consistent with the requirements in the Ministerial Guidelines.
