Parks Victoria intends to carry out rock reparation works under advice from First Peoples State Relations (formerly known as Aboriginal Victoria, sitting within the Department of Premier & Cabinet).
ACAV has raised concerns with FPSR as a duty of care, that any proposed reparation works using safe workplace practices, are likely to cause significant harm to the site.
Matthew Lloyd of FPSR has personally assured ACAV that a permit has been acquired and consequently, harm will be minimised.
The degree of acceptable harm remains unknown. We are not sure who, within the decision-making chain has visited the site and reviewed a work method statement. It remains likely that practical workplace challenges remain unresolved.
ACAV will continue to monitor and escalate accordingly. Our members remain concerned.
