The programming of an Access Database to facilitate planning and management of fleet acquisitions, utilisation and disposals has reached the point where it has been migrated to the 2010 Microsoft version, greatly enhancing its function. Further reporting tabulations are in process. The data stored therein remains in need of tidy-up. The completion of the field valuations by Liquid Pacific, and the majority of the fleet having recently been re-registered to the currently single common date provide

a sound basis for ensuring the data set is accurate and complete. Assets listed in Tech1 can then be properly reviewed to match the inventory and rationalised. OUTSTATION SERVICES Record rains have resulted in extensive buffel grass growth around all outstations, creating an emerging major fire risk. The focus of outstation staff has therefore been on slashing. In western outstations, the new works team of Dave Hoddard (OS Works Supervisor) and Leslie White (OS Field Worker) have been doing an excellent job. Pulardi, Garden Bore (Arrunge), Ten Mile and Karrinyarra have been fully cleared of rubbish, enabling comprehensive slashing to occur. Rubbish has been segregated into i) ferrous metal, stockpiled with old vehicles for later scrap metal removal; ii) non-ferrous scrap including loose radiators and aluminium car heads; iii) and general rubbish, placed in landfills. In the eastern outstations, the focus has similarly been on rubbish removal and slashing. Irrelirre outstation commenced an active CDEP program, with local man Kyle Dunn as CDEP Works Supervisor. Participants have been doing an excellent job clearing rubbish and slashing grass around their outstation, with the next phase being landfill improvement. A new Kubota tractor, 5’ slasher and refurbished plant trailer have been purchased for the Eastern team, with delivery expected in late November.
