Perth Airport is conservatively estimated to contribute

around $2.5 billion to the Western Australian economy.

The airport is situated on a 2,105 hectare estate. Around

1,000 hectares have been set aside for non-aviation

purposes, with 310 hectares preserved for conservation

and around 700 hectares for commercial and industrial

development. Commercial vacancy rates in Perth’s

CBD and surrounds are at record lows, so unlocking

the potential of surplus land around Perth Airport can

give WA business more room to expand.

At the end of 2007 the airport will announce the results

of a review of the domestic and international terminals.

The review has been examining the options of continuing

to develop independent terminals or to commence

a consolidation at the international terminal campus.

This decision will have a large impact on future plans

on airport land.

Pivotal to responsible management of the airport is

environmental stewardship, with more than $1 million

spent each year on monitoring, re-vegetation and

protection of the environment. All development is guided

by a long-term blueprint, the Perth Airport Master Plan

2004, which divides the land into various uses so that

similarly themed operations are grouped together.

Perth Airport fast facts:

• In 2006/07 processed 8,089,423 passengers.

• More than 20 airlines operate services to and from Perth

Airport, reaching 15 international and 35 domestic and

regional destinations. On average, there are more than

1,900 arriving and departing fl ights each week.

• The airport has a two runway system capable of

handling both existing and planned intercontinental

commercial aircraft, including the A380. An additional

parallel runway is part of the airport’s long-term

Master Plan.

• More than 6,000 people work on the airport estate.

“NEW ENERGY EFFICIENCY DISCLOSURE SCHEME FOR

COMMERCIAL BUILDINGSAustralia’s governments have agreed to a new energy effi ciency disclosure scheme to improve the energy effi ciency of commercial buildings, which will come into effect later this year.

Commercial building energy effi ciency disclosure is part of a package of measures to improve the energy effi ciency of Australia’s building stock being delivered under the National Strategy on Energy Effi ciency.

The scheme will start with offi ce buildings and may be extended to cover other building types such as hotels and shopping centres from 2012.

Buildings account for around 20 per cent of Australia’s carbon pollution, split fairly evenly between the commercial and residential sectors.

Improving the energy effi ciency of buildings is one of the quickest and cheapest ways to reduce carbon emissions and help minimise the threat of dangerous climate change.

Environment Minister Peter Garrett says that under the commercial building energy effi ciency disclosure scheme, from the second half of 2010 building owners will need to disclose up-to-date energy effi ciency information when they sell or lease offi ce space covering 2000 square metres or more.

“This means all parties – the building owner and potential buyers or tenants – will have access to consistent, credible and meaningful information about a building’s energy effi ciency and make informed decisions when they buy or rent offi ce space,” the minister says.

“Greener offi ces are not only more comfortable to work in, they can also boost productivity,

bring down sick leave, support green building industry jobs and have the potential to deliver savings of 20-40 per cent on energy bills.

“Energy effi ciency is a fast, cheap way of making inroads into Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. This scheme will provide a strong incentive in the market for building owners to improve their properties by investing in cost-effective energy effi cient upgrades.”

Building owners will need to disclose a valid Building Energy Effi ciency Certifi cate, which will include a National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) energy base building star rating. It will also include an assessment of the lighting energy effi ciency of tenancies and some suggestions on how to improve

the building’s energy effi ciency. Owners who don’t comply will risk a fi ne or prosecution.

“If you are planning on selling or leasing offi ce space, the fi rst NABERS energy base building star rating can take time. I encourage building owners to start now to prepare for the introduction of this measure,” the minister says.

Buildings account for around 20 per cent of Australia’s carbon

pollution, split fairly evenly between the commercial and

residential sectors. “

More than 600 buildings, or over 8.6 million square metres of offi ce space, have been rated for energy effi ciency using National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS), representing around 41 per cent of nationally available offi ce space.

In WA, over half of all commercial offi ce buildings have been rated at some time. NABERS has helped drive positive and measurable environmental change within the offi ce property sector.

NABERS measures and compares the environmental performance of a building against its market. The initiative was developed with industry and for industry.

NABERS Energy for Offi ces, formerly the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating Scheme

was established in 1999. Today,

NABERS tools exist for energy and water ratings in homes, offi ces, hotels and shopping centres. Waste and indoor environment ratings also exist for offi ces.

NABERS applies a simple measurement scale from 1 to 5 stars, with 2.5 stars representing the market median performance. A 5 star result represents excellent performance while a 1 star result indicates performance well below the market median. A NABERS rating is based on a continuous 12 month period and a NABERS certifi cate remains valid for a year.

The NABERS program is continuing to evolve in order to meet the needs of industry. Additional tools for rating hospitals, schools and data centres are currently under development.

NABERS also forms a core component of the CitySwitch Green Offi ce program, a tenant energy management program encouraging a

voluntary commitment by offi ce tenancies to achieve a 4 star or higher NABERS energy tenancy rating.

Twenty-three organisations covering more than 140,000 square metres of offi ce space are now part of this program in the City of Perth.

Accredited assessors who are experienced in the management and operation of buildings carry out NABERS ratings. Assessors are the fi rst point of contact when undertaking a NABERS rating.

Accredited assessor training sessions along with NABERS introductory sessions are being held in Perth and throughout Australia during 2010.

Garry Baverstock

“An educational and built environment expert predicts 300,000 new jobs will be created if Australia’s 7.5 million homes are adapted to become energy and water effi cient.

Adjunct Professor at Murdoch University and specialist eco architect Garry Baverstock said the jobs growth would take place over 20 years and be in key industry areas.

“Areas of focus and progress include research and development technologies; passive solar architecture and design; advances in recycling building materials from demolition; water and waste water design, treatment and maintenance; new advances in solar water heating and grid connected PV systems; and the integration of other renewable energy systems into the built environment,” Garry says.

“However, this boom in new jobs will only take place if we are serious about reducing greenhouse gas emissions and introduce policies and practices to ensure we only construct and reconstruct energy and water effi cient homes.”

Garry says Australia’s built environment constitutes 33 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions and this fi gure increases to 40 per cent when infrastructure and embodied energy are taken into account.

He says these amounts could only be reduced if energy consumed in existing homes is reduced by between 30 and 50 per cent and by 80 per cent in all new homes.

“Of the 7.5 million homes in Australia we know most need to be retrofi tted to become more energy and water effi cient and many of these will eventually need to be replaced with new state-of-the-art homes because it will be too costly to retrofi t them,” he says.

“Homes to be demolished will have to be carefully recycled and this will entail the introduction of procedures and policies to ensure wastage is kept to a minimum.”

Garry says national building codes and other relevant legislation in Australia did not require homeowners and builders to comply with

energy and water effi ciency principles when demolishing, retrofi tting or renovating homes.

He says legislation is lagging and up until now lay people and industry groups have led the way in the instigation of innovative and necessary change.

“The idea of adapting a home to become more energy and water effi cient is normally decided by homeowners who place pressure on designers and builders to trial new methods.

“Once these techniques have been found to be effective, builders adopt them into mainstream practice and political parties follow by introducing them into legislation.

“This means the general public and industry professionals will continue to lead the way

in the push for important change, but this may not be enough if we are to signifi cantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the impact of climate change.”

However Garry says he is delighted to hear most people in Australia want to live in homes and work in buildings that have been

designed and built to comply with energy effi cient and climate sensible principles.

“While it’s good news people want to live in energy effi cient homes, there are barriers to these lifestyle changes which include money, industry know-how and legislative amendments.

“This is because the cost to retrofi t a property may initially be outside a home owner’s budget despite the investment eventually being offset in energy savings while also reducing each of the occupants’ carbon footprints.”

Built environment to generate jobs

Of the 7.5 million homes in Australia we know most need to be retrofi tted to become more energy and water

effi cient and many of these will eventually need to be replaced with new state-of-the-art homes because it will be too costly to retrofi t them.

The channel between King George Sound and Princess Royal Harbour is named Ataturk Channel.

A friendship agreement is signed between Albany and Gallipoli in 2003.

ANZAC Peace Park officially launched in 2010.

November 2014 commemorates the centenary of the assemblage and departure of the ANZAC troops.

Albany was selected as the departure point for ANZAC troops due to its important coal and port facilities.

The first convoy to Gallipoli in 1914 took 30,000 Australian and New Zealand troops, 7500 horses and supplies on a fleet of 40 transport ships and five naval escort vehicles.

During the assemblage, Albany was full of life with marches, bands and mascots.

Before the convoy embarked on its journey to Egypt and Turkey, Reverend Arthur White, Padre 44th Battalion 1st Australian Imperial Force, conducted a service for the men before dawn broke.

The fleet sailed out of King George Sound early on 1 November 1914.

Albany was the last sighting of Australia for those who fought and died at Gallipoli, in France or in the Middle East.

In 1916, 25 April was officially named ANZAC Day .

In 1918, Reverend White, repatriated to Albany, held a Requiem Mass in Albany for the battle dead, after which the congregation climbed Mount Clarence where White remarked soldiers should be commemorated that way every ANZAC day.

On 25 April 1930, a dawn eucharist was celebrated in Albany, followed by a commemoration at Mt Clarence and the laying of a wreath in King George Sound.

In 2002, the Ataturk statue was unveiled at Mt Adelaide, overlooking Princess Royal Harbour, in

Albany’s special place in the remembrance of WWI is now recognised the world over. On 25 April 2010, the world watched as thousands of people, locals and visitors, silently and solemnly gathered for the dawn service at the top of Mount Clarence, looking out over King George Sound to commemorate the diggers who perished in the Great War. A wreath was laid upon the water of the Sound, just as one was laid at a dawn service held on 25 April 1930.

It is the recognition of Albany’s 80 years of ANZAC commemoration that has focused the international spotlight on the regional city, now widely acknowledged as the site of the first dawn service at which the Reverend White recited the words, “As the sun riseth and goeth down, we will remember them.”

Since then, Albany launched the ANZAC Peace Park on its foreshore in recognition of the significance of the city’s role in the ANZAC legend. With the city in the midst of arrangements for the centenary of ANZAC in 2014, the park will play a significant role in the hosting of commemorative events, attracting thousands of international visitors.

Albany was the last sighting of Australia for those who fought and died at Gallipoli, in France or in the Middle East.

In 1916, 25 April was officially named ANZAC Day .

In 1918, Reverend White, repatriated to Albany, held a Requiem Mass in Albany for the battle dead, after which the congregation climbed Mount Clarence where White remarked soldiers should be commemorated that way every ANZAC day.

On 25 April 1930, a dawn eucharist was celebrated in Albany, followed by a commemoration at Mt Clarence and the laying of a wreath in King George Sound.

In 2002, the Ataturk statue was unveiled at Mt Adelaide, overlooking Princess Royal Harbour, in

Albany’s special place in the remembrance of WWI is now recognised the world over. On 25 April 2010, the world watched as thousands of people, locals and visitors, silently and solemnly gathered for the dawn service at the top of Mount Clarence, looking out over King George Sound to commemorate the diggers who perished in the Great War. A wreath was laid upon the water of the Sound, just as one was laid at a dawn service held on 25 April 1930.

It is the recognition of Albany’s 80 years of ANZAC commemoration that has focused the international spotlight on the regional city, now widely acknowledged as the site of the first dawn service at which the Reverend White recited the words, “As the sun riseth and goeth down, we will remember them.”

Since then, Albany launched the ANZAC Peace Park on its foreshore in recognition of the significance of the city’s role in the ANZAC legend. With the city in the midst of arrangements for the centenary of ANZAC in 2014, the park will play a significant role in the hosting of commemorative events, attracting thousands of international visitors.

Billions of dollars are being invested in Western Australia’s future – resource projects, world class health services, large scale infrastructure – to underpin the state’s economic and social development.

These major projects aim to create jobs, attract private investment and enhance the state’s competitive advantage.

HEALTH

Health is a major priority and the $2 billion new Fiona Stanley Hospital will be the biggest building infrastructure project ever undertaken by the state and become the fl agship tertiary hospital south of Perth.

When it opens in 2014, the 783-bed hospital will be the southern metropolitan area’s major tertiary hospital, replacing Fremantle Hospital as the primary emergency care hospital in the southern suburbs.

The hospital will have dedicated buildings for education and pathology, mental health, administration and a 140-bed state rehabilitation service.

It will need more than 3000 staff to deliver world-class health services in a large, state-of-the-art facility linked to private and public education and research facilities.

Construction on Western Australia’s new state-of-the-art children’s hospital at the QEII Medical Centre site is scheduled to start in 2012 for completion in 2015. The facility will replace aging Princess Margaret Hospital in Subiaco.

The new hospital will have more than 250 beds, will house the state’s only paediatric trauma centre and will provide tertiary and key secondary health services including inpatient, ambulatory and outpatient care.

Construction work has started on a new state-of-the-art pathology centre and expansion of the state’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre at the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre.

The projects, valued at more than $54 million each, are the fi rst of two new capital works projects to be built at the QEII Medical Centre over the next six years, transforming the site into one of Perth’s largest medical, education and research facilities.

Bunbury Hospital is set to undergo a $14.9 million redevelopment to establish an intensive care unit (ICU) and expand the emergency department (ED). The new ICU will be operational by early 2011 and will mean many people in the south-west requiring critical care will no longer have to be transferred to Perth.

MAJORPROJECTSEQUALMORE JOBS

RESOURCES

WA continues to lead the way as Australia’s premier resources investment destination. There are currently well over $100 billion worth of projects either committed or under consideration for the state during the next few years. These will create more than 45,000 construction jobs and 12,500 permanent jobs, according to the Department of Mines and Petroleum.

The Gorgon Joint Venture (GJV) made a fi nal investment decision on the $43 billion Gorgon Gas Processing Project in September last year. The GJV’s foundation project on Barrow Island includes a three train LNG development capable of exporting 15mtpa (million tonnes per annum) and a domestic gas project capable of delivering at least 300tj (terajoules) per day of gas to the

mainland. The development on Barrow Island also includes potentially the largest commercial geosequestration project in the world. Employment is expected to reach 3000 during construction.

CITIC Pacifi c Mining is constructing a magnetite iron ore mine and processing plant at Cape Preston. The $5.2 billion project will include a concentrator, 6mtpa pellet plant, slurry pipeline, combined cycle power station, port facilities and desalination plant. Some 4000 people will be required during the construction phase.

Other projects such as Wheatstone LNG Development (3000 people), Pluto LNG (4000) and BHP Billiton’s Rapid Growth Project 5 (3500) will require large construction workforces, plus hundreds of employees when operational.

INFRASTRUCTURE

A number of infrastructure projects are earmarked for WA including Mains Road’s $600 million Gateway WA.

The WA Government has identifi ed the upgrade of the public arterial road network around Perth Airport as an infrastructure priority. The project will include much-needed upgrades to Tonkin Highway, Orrong Road and interchanges along Tonkin and Leach Highways. The project is expected to take between fi ve and seven years to complete.

The long-awaited $4 billion Oakajee Industrial Estate and Port Project will include common user infrastructure (channel, breakwater, turning basin, navigational aids, provision for tug and pilot boat pens, port administration offi ces and roads and utilities).

A 570km railway will link the port to mining tenements north-east of Geraldton and through existing rail to mining tenements south-east of Geraldton. Some 2000 people will be required during construction and a further 400 for operation.

The $415 million Ord-East Kimberley Expansion Project is a large-scale nation building endeavour that will create stronger, vibrant and sustainable regional communities in the East Kimberley. The project will include the release of 8000 hectares of agricultural lots, in conjunction with the improvement of social, community and common-use infrastructure.

The project will provide opportunities for indigenous people in the East Kimberley region to benefi t through training, employment, business development and improved community facilities.

A SHOPPINGGUIDE

By Benjamin Elsey

Each country has a system with which earplugs and earmuffs must be tested. In Australia, the measure is SLC80. It stands for Sound Level Conversion and the 80 stands for 80 per cent of the population, meaning statistically 80 per cent of people using that earplug/muff should get that decibel of sound cut. In reality, this simply isn’t the case.

The acronym NRR is also found on packaging and is the Noise Reduction Rating. Although being the American way to test earplugs and earmuffs, it may actually be more relevant than you think. When testing earplugs and earmuffs the American procedure is to have 10 subjects fi tted by the research audiologist and tested with a range of frequencies from 125Hz to 8000Hz. The NRR represents that particular earplug/muff with the 10 sets of ears it was tested with on the day.

In Australia, 20 people are tested but they are ‘naive subjects’ meaning they can’t have fi tted or used earplugs/muffs before. They are given the earplug/muff, asked to read the instructions on the packet and fi t it themselves. The researcher cannot provide any assistance.

SLC80 therefore tests the product with the variety of ears on the day (just as the NRR does) and also tests how clear the manufacturer’s instructions are on the packet, how well the person understood and how skillful they were at carrying out those instructions. Predictably, this has poorer results than the NRR.

Will 80 per cent of people get the SLC80 rating? The research tells us no. What about the other 20 per cent that are exposed to danger? When it comes to the school of safety, is a “B” good enough? Or should we be aiming for “A+”? When we talk about safety, averages become less important, and ‘good enough’ is not good enough. We have to take measures to ensure that every worker is being provided with equipment that is a good fi t for both them and their purpose – hearing protection being no exception.

Use the SLC80 as a shopping guide, like it is intended. Find the products you think may work and trial them. It’s not as hard as Cinderella and the glass slipper, but we do have to be able to prove the ‘shoe fi ts’.

WHAT IS SLC80? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT IS NRR? WHY IS IT DIFFERENT?

ISN’T A DECIBEL A DECIBEL? THESE ARE ALL EXCELLENT QUESTIONS – AND

NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ASK.

Some common industrial chemicals and certain medications are capable of damaging the cochlear hair cells and auditory nerve in the inner ear. These are called Ototoxins. Symptoms of exposure include partial or profound hearing loss, vertigo and tinnitus. The mechanism of damage is largely unknown.

Ototoxins may act in concert with noise to create hearing loss or, in some cases, may act independently of any noise exposure.

Common industrial materials such as diesel fuel, kerosene fuel, toluene, xylene, mercury and organic lead are capable of penetrating the skin and then being circulated by the bloodstream to bring them in contact with the delicate structures of the inner ear.

Others gain access to the circulating fl uids via the inhalation (breathing) or ingestion (swallowing) routes of entry. These include arsenic, manganese, styrene, white spirit and solvent mixtures. Carbon monoxide is an important ototoxic agent, so this raises the possibility that smoking, with its ready generation of this material, may be a risk factor.

High doses of medication such as aspirin and the salicylates may produce tinnitus and hearing loss in both ears, although this is often reversible when use of the drug is discontinued.

The US Army has done a lot of work on Ototoxins and recommends annual hearing checks for those who may be exposed to airborne levels greater than half the respective occupational exposure limits.

Thus, for workers exposed to high concentrations of these, audiometric testing may be needed to establish whether these ototoxic effects are occurring.

By Barry Chesson

7Occupational hygienists are trained in the recognition, evaluation and control of physical, chemical, biological and ergonomic hazards in the workplace. Noise is a physical agent, along with vibration, heat, cold, ionising and non-ionising radiation and several others.

It is usually a focus for most occupational hygienists because it is common to many industrial workplaces and is capable of exerting a signifi cant impact on health. These professionals draw on a training background in the physical sciences (chemistry or physics, in particular), the biological sciences or engineering to establish what exposures exist and to put in place suitable control measures.

In many of Australia’s larger industrial undertakings, occupational hygienists will be active in measuring noise levels and establishing the exposure that individuals are receiving. They work with designers, engineers and managers on planning and implementing higher level engineering controls, assist with the development of administrative controls and advise on the use of hearing protective devices.

Additionally, they recommend which work groups need to be subject to audiometric testing, report to management and the workforce on results obtained and conduct training for those likely to encounter noise.

MAKING CENTS OF YOUR ENERGY COSTSInformation about your new electricity prices inside

How is the cost of electricity determined?There are 3 main components that make up your energy bill:

Generation costs The costs of producing the electricity you use. At Origin, we generate our own electricity as well as buying it from others.

Transmission and distribution costs The costs of installing and maintaining power poles and transmission lines to transport power to your home. Distribution companies provide these services.

Retail costs The costs associated with the services Origin provides to you, such as connecting electricity to your home, servicing our call centres and managing your account.

Network Poles & Wires

Retail

Understanding your electricity pricesIn Victoria, the industry adjusts standard electricity costs every six to 12 months. But why – and where do these extra dollars you pay actually go?

To understand how electricity prices work, think about $1.

When you pay your Origin power bill, most of your money goes to producing the electricity you use (around X cents), and installing and maintaining the state’s power poles and transmission lines (about X cents).

Retailers like Origin use what’s left (around X cents) to keep local customer service centres open for you, employing hundreds of Aussies across our business, and providing things like energy efficiency advice to help save you money.

Why do electricity prices increase?1. The need to upgrade electricity infrastructure. Major

maintenance and upgrades to the poles and wires used to transport electricity into homes are necessary and are passed through to Origin by electricity distributors.

2. The cost of electricity fuel sources increasing. Long term increases in the costs of energy production, particularly due to the rising cost of some fossil fuels (coal).

3. Environmental schemes. Federal and State Government schemes that aim to reduce our impact on the environment also add to the cost of producing and retailing electricity.

Electricity prices in Victoria Following a review by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), electricity prices in Victoria will increase from 1 January 2012.

Factors influencing your electricity pricesThe AER estimates that Victorian electricity prices will increase by an average of 4.0% from 1 January 2012. This increase is made up of three main elements:

• 1.2% will go towards investments in Victoria’s electricity distribution network; the poles and wires that supply electricity.

• 2.3% will cover the increase in the cost of electricity generation.

• 1.5% will go towards meeting an increase in energy retailers’ costs, such as wage inflation and increased regulatory fees.

Your next bill will include the new prices as set out in the table below. Please note that any benefits you currently receive from Origin, as well as any applicable charges for GreenPower that apply to your account, will remain unchanged.

Putting your energy costs into perspective Recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that energy as a proportion of total household expenditure has hardly changed over 25 years.

Energy costs are significantly lower than housing costs and medical expenses. In fact, the cost of energy for the average consumer is just $3.30 per day and the typical household electricity cost is $1,200 per annum*.

Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, 6 September 2011*Based on a typical Victorian residential customer using 6 MWh per annum at a cost of $200 per MWh.

Alecia Hancock Director Hancock Creative

“I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Zara. In the time I was her manager, the standard of her work was consistently high and her work ethic was one of the best I have seen.

She is hard working, flexible, talented and works very well independently or as part of a project team. She is well respected by her peers and I would have no hesitation in hiring her again should the opportunity arise.”

Louise Allan Editor West Australian Publishers

“Zara is a talented and accomplished graphic designer. Always reliable, Zara is extremely efficient, productive and the standard of her design work is outstanding.

In her role at The West Australian, she constantly produced high quality publications from tabloid newspaper features to magazine-style liftouts. I highly recommend Zara, a real team player who gets to job done!”

Heidi Norman Marketing Communications Manager (Business) at Origin Energy

“We hired Zara as our very first internal graphic designer at Origin. She had a very deadline driven role and was very good at prioritising her deadlines along with the deadlines of those in the team.

Her ability to produce high quality work within tight time frames continously surprised us. Her attention to detail and easy-going attitude made her a popular member of the team. Her graphic design work is exceptional. She picked up the Origin style quickly and has consistantly produced high quality work.”
