Tri-Star Petroleum Company (Sapex Ltd) - Petroleum Exploration From: Jennifer Entjes <[email protected]> Date: 29 November 2017 at 1:58:17 pm ACDT To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: David Carroll <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Tri-Star Petroleum Company (Sapex Ltd) - Petroleum Exploration Good Afternoon Madam Mayor, I refer to my email below regarding Sapex’s proposed activities within PEL 122 and 123. Tri-Star is proposing to complete a multi well drilling program within PEL123 (and potentially PEL122) to test unconventional reservoirs within the Arckaringa Basin. The program will likely consist of both vertical and horizontal wells and a multi stage stimulation program to enhance formation permeability and test oil production potential. In order to permit a stimulation program, Sapex has drafted an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Statement of Environmental Objectives (SEO) for Fracture Stimulation. For your reference, I’ve attached the following: · Digital copy of Sapex’s presentation; · Draft Statement of Environmental Objectives (SEO); and · Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The purpose of the draft documents is to give you an overview of what is proposed, and allow you to raise any concerns you may have so they can be addressed in the EIR & SEO. Please note fracture stimulation activities will only apply to PEL122 & 123 which mostly overlaps Nilpinna and Anna Creek Stations as per the attached map. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Tri-Star is proposing to complete a multi well drilling program within PEL123 (and potentially PEL122) to test unconventional reservoirs within the Arckaringa Basin. The program will likely consist of both vertical and horizontal wells and a multi stage stimulation program to enhance formation permeability and test oil production potential. In order to permit a stimulation program, Sapex is proposing to amend it’s currently approved Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Statement of Environmental Objectives (SEO) for Drilling Activities to include these completion techniques. For your reference, I’ve attached a copy of the information pack we are using for stakeholder consultation. The purpose of the document is to give you an overview of what is proposed, and allow you to raise any concerns so they can be addressed in the amended EIR & SEO.

7.2 Works Department Report for the month of November 2017 Report to: Council From: Rodney Phillips, Works Manager Date: 12/12/2017 Subject: Works Department Report for the month of October 2017 File: GR.689 Purpose of Report: For information Report: Airport REX information unavailable at the time of printing. Avdata received landing fees totaled $3,515.26 for the month. The outcome of the Transport Safety Office audit of the Coober Pedy Airport in October has resulted in six non-compliances mostly centered on the administrative aspects of the airports operations. Bitumen Sealed Roads Sealed surfaces only received minor repairs this month due to scheduling work around forecast rain events. Borrow Pit (Tiger Park) None used. Dog and Cat Management James has continued his patrols with only a few dogs being caught some of the impounded animals were the result of being at large due to storm activity and being handed in. See report below for details. Dust Suppression The water truck has only been used to assist in patrol grading operations. The end of the month saw a couple of mechanical problems revealed with the water cart, we had the diesel powered water pump blow up and the steer tyres had fallen due for replacement. Kerbing & Paving Minor cleanups of street weeds have been performed to tidy some footpaths. This work has been performed subject to staff availability. Oval The Oz Minerals Oval has had light maintenance performed and lines marked for a game of soccer that was held on the 25th November.

Page 9 of 51 Agenda 12th December 2017

Open Surface Roads The roads have been seeing regular maintenance due to the regular bouts of rain. This maintenance has been restricted to patch repairs due to constant forecasts of rain events. Parks and Gardens Cleaning of the towns streets and slashing of weed growth around town plus maintenance on the triangle has continued to be the main focus of the Parks & Gardens Staff. These tasks have now been shared with the daily cleaning of the swimming pool and the surrounding area. Quarry The Quarry has been of particular interest after receiving three Improvement Notices from Safework SA. These notices require the DCCP to respond to administrative requirements set down under Safework SA Regulations. Staffing Kylie-Anne has been back from leave for the latter half of the month. Waste Depot Waste operations have continued in a reasonably trouble free manner with the exception of a break in and theft of Diesel Fuel and a UHF Radio from out of the loader discovered on 14th November 2017. Work Shop Joel has been able to continue with servicing and light repairs to the fleet and has caught up on the most important tasks. General If there are any items that need attention, it would be appreciated if Councillors could advise the Works Manager on 0417 813 571 or by email address: [email protected] A call to Kylie-Anne on P: 8672 4626 to make out a ‘works order request’ for any problems will get quick results.

7.3 Fitzgerald Dam Quarry Report to: Council From: Rodney Phillips, Works Manager Date: 12/12/2017 Subject: Fitzgerald Dam Quarry File: GR.689 Purpose of Report: For Information, Consideration & Resolution Report: Back ground The District Council of Coober Pedy is the holder of Extractive Minerals Lease No 5505 over Fitzgerald Dam Quarry which is located 48 kilometres south of Coober Pedy falls within the Woomera Prohibited Area. The operation of this quarry was put out to tender in 2012 with the scope of the tender to provide – “Operation of Fitzgerald Dam Quarry and the supply of various size aggregates and types of sand to the District Council of Coober Pedy and other parties”. Council resolved at its special meeting held on 25th of June 2012 that: - Council award the tender S02/12 for the operation of Fitzgerald Dam Quarry and Supply of Sand and Aggregate to East, Palmer Constructions for a period of 5 years commencing from the 16th of July 2012. This agreement ended on the 30th June 2017 and has not seen any agreement put into place to renew the agreement nor has operations of this plant ceased at the site. This has created a situation where by seeing the contractor is still operating their equipment on land controlled by Council and is operating outside of any formal agreement, Council wares full liability for this site and its operations. This has been highlighted by a visit to the site by representatives of Safework SA who found that there were deficiencies by both the safety requirements of the equipment at the site and the Councils administrative requirements to run the quarry. The Council has received three Safework SA Improvement Notices relating to this site. The Contractor has also been looking to get an idea as to how this quarry operation will move into future operations so that he is able to judge a method of moving forward. Financial The tender was advertised with the consumption expectations of - Council Aggregate Yearly Average (estimated over 4 year) 1,180 tonne Others Aggregate Yearly Average (estimated over 2 year) 15,800 tonne In the 16/17 financial year Council bought 1380 tonne of quarry material from this quarry.

Flood Damage 2014 Actual v 1 – authored by Damien Clarke

Summary The operations at the Fitzgerald Quarry currently have a liability and financial burden for Council. For Council to avoid the liability issue related to having a contractor operating on a site that is under the care and control of Council that is working outside of any formal agreement with Council, Council will need to at least –

1. Consider to continue to occupy this site. 2. Consider the options of maintaining care and control of the site but

cease operations on the site. 3. Consider the extension of the existing agreement with a change in

conditions that make the site less of a financial liability to Council. 4. Consider issuing a new tender for operations at this site with a

reviewed specification that requires a more stringent view of operations at the site and has a focus on making the site a less of a financial liability to Council.

Recommendation Discuss the dot points outlined in the Summary of the agenda and pass a resolution of how to move forward with the operations of Fitzgerald Quarry site using these dot points or other models as seen suitable by the Chamber.

7.5 Electricity Outage & Storm Report: 30th November – 2nd December 2017

Report to: Council From: Martin Grava, Electricity Manager Date: 12/12/2017 Subject: Electricity Outage & Storm Report File: GR.689 Purpose of Report: For information Report: At roughly 9:30pm Thursday 30th November 2017 Coober Pedy was hit by one of the most destructive storms experienced in the last 20 years. This storm caused wide spread power outages across the township of Coober Pedy and played havoc with the Water Supply system and newly installed Hybrid Energy system. Power was interrupted to the whole of Coober Pedy and some customers were without power for almost two days. Council staff worked tirelessly through the night, and following days, to restore power and water services to the community. Sequence of Events Thursday, 30th November 2017 & Friday, 1st December 2017 Electricity staff got the first call at 9:42pm Thursday 30th November 2017 but could not yet respond as conditions were still too dangerous to work in. Due to the severity of the storm all DCCP electricity staff in Coober Pedy was called upon (Martin Grava, Grant Grayson, Brett Gardiner and Gavin Talbot). At first response half the town was without power and DCCP E/S Staff proceeded in performing a feeder patrol to make a first assessment of the damage. DCCP E/S Staff found blown high voltage (HV) fuses on both SWER Isolating transformers that supply power to people in the Potch Gully and Hopeful Hills areas. One fault was identified in the main town area; the transformer supplying the Desert Cave Hotel had suffered a lightning strike and protection had operated which isolated this transformer. Therefore DCCP E/S and EDL started to energise the main town area and decided to keep the Potch Gully and Hopeful Hills areas isolated, then tend to them once power was restored to the main town area. EDL had difficulty closing the Hospital Feeder circuit breaker as they were experiencing frequency problems. Both parties came to a decision to

Page 20 of 51 Agenda 12th December 2017

interconnect the circuits and supply power via the Town Feeder circuit breaker. This was successful and power was restored to the main town area at 4:19am.

The problems experienced whilst restoring power during this period caused major problems at the Water Supply Plant. On call operator Simon Kissling was able to maintain town water supply and had to quickly install a backup generator at the Sewage Treatment Plant Pumping station to prevent sewage overflow.

DCCP E/S staff commenced feeder patrols on the Potch Gully and Hopeful Hills areas. DCCP E/S identified 3 powerlines (1 in Potch Gully on Clarky Rd and 2 in Hopeful Hills on Amorosi Dr & Tom Cat Hill Rd) on the ground that had suffered direct lightning strikes. DCCP E/S staff repaired the downed powerline in Potch Gully and restored power to this area at 6:20am. DCCP E/S staff was then able to repair the downed powerline on Amorosi Dr before power was lost to the whole township at 6:50am. The Town Feeder circuit breaker opened on an under frequency fault.

EDL was not able to hold load with either breaker until they identified a blown fuse on one of their logic controllers at around 9:50am. Once EDL had identified and repaired the blown fuse, power was again restored to the central part of town and the Potch Gully area at around 10:40am. North West Ridge Rd and Hopeful Hills areas were still out of power at this stage.

DCCP E/S staff identified two blown HV fuses at the corner of Seventeen Mile Rd and North West Ridge Rd, and performed a feeder patrol on the remaining section of the line. No obvious fault was identified and on attempting to restore this section of line caused the Hospital Feeder to trip, resulting in another power outage. Power was quickly restored by EDL to previously energised customers, but the town water supply was lost. This was caused by the emergency change-over switch, which automatically transfers from mains/backup generator supply, broke down and subsequently caused the delivery pumps to lose all source of power. Water Supply staff had to quickly open main valves around town to bleed the system of airlocks, before bringing water back online. Gavin Talbot was then required to perform repairs at the Water Supply Plant and leave the Power Line crew.

The electricity supply staff then split into two groups with one crew concentrating on finding an insulator fault on the North West Ridge line and Martin Grava working on replacing the transformer at the Desert Cave Hotel.

The council crane was in Pt Augusta at the time of the storm, as it was undergoing its annual compliance testing in Adelaide. Therefore Coober Pedy Waste Transport was engaged to assist in the transformer replacement to perform the crane lifts. Coober Pedy Waste Transport’s crane was out of service awaiting a replacement part, but they kindly reinstalled the faulty part to provide assistance.

Page 21 of 51 Agenda 12th December 2017

Coober Pedy Waste Transport was able to remove the damaged transformer and install a replacement at 3:30pm. At this stage the other member of the Electricity Supply staff, Michael Watson, returned from Pt Augusta with the crane. Michael immediately started work and assisted Martin Grava with the replacement of the Desert Cave Hotel transformer. The crew inspecting the North West Ridge line found 2 damaged insulators which were replaced, and were able to get power restored to this area at around 3:00pm. This crew then repaired the downed power line supplying the Tom Cat Hill area which suffered the worst of the storm damage. This crew was unable to restore power to the Hopeful Hills area as there was still a fault somewhere on the line. The Desert Cave Hotel transformer installation was completed at 5:00pm and the crew was able to energise the replacement transformer and restore supply to the Desert Cave Hotel at 5:30pm. The crews then concentrated on trying to restore power to the Hopeful Hills SWER feeder and began by sectionalising the first section of line. A HV fuse was installed in the line out to Tom Cat Hill which blew immediately, this suggested that a major fault was still present on that line and was left isolated. The remainder of the feeder was attempted to be energised with a HV fuse, which held at first and then tripped suggesting there was another fault somewhere on this line as well. It was 7:00pm at this stage and DCCP E/S Staff had been working for 21 hours straight. Fiona Hogan (DCCP CEO) made the decision to call it a day, under fatigue management for the safety of the crew. Fiona Hogan and Rodney Phillips then continued to notify customers without power that power will not be restored that night to affected customers and the E/S crew will resume restoration at 10:00am the next day. Saturday, 2nd December 2017 Electricity Supply staff began restoration at 10:00am and began sectionalising the feeder in aim to identify the location of the fault. Through standard power line fault finding procedures a failed transformer on Amorosi Drive was identified and the E/S Staff were able to energise all but 10 properties by 1:30pm. All insulators were replaced on the SWER line to Tom Cat Hill and it was identified that 2 transformers had failed due to lightning strike. The crew took roughly two hours to replace each transformer and supply to all customers was re-instated at roughly 8:30pm. Overview of Faults Identified & Repaired

7.18 Correspondence Received by Councillor Hay To: Councillor Kyle Hay

Re: Street Naming Policy adopted on 21/2/2012

Dear Councillor Hay (for Council consideration)

1. I am asking that the council review the Street Naming Policy.

5. Monitor and Review of Policy This policy will be regularly monitored and reviewed each year. Public notice will be given of adopting or altering this policy. 2. In this review, terms used in the policy should be clarified. As the quoted examples

show, there are references to formed roads, unmade road reserves and constructed

roads both sealed and unsealed.

What is a “formed” public road?

What is an “unmade” road reserve?

What are “constructed roads, both sealed and unsealed”?

1.3 It is Council’s policy that all sealed public roads and all formed public roads within the Council area that are regularly accessed will be assigned a

name. This does not include ‘unmade’ road reserves.

4.3.1 This policy covers all formed roads that are regularly accessed and therefore includes private roads. 4.8 Road Name Signage

Generally for constructed roads, both sealed and unsealed, a sign will be located at each end of the road. 3. I have made written submissions to the Council for the naming of regularly accessed

roads, repeatedly. The names I have proposed meet the guidelines of this policy.

Berrington Road and Ayton Road would recognise the important contributions Minnie

Berrington and Joan & Ron Ayton made to this community. I have offered to pay for the

signs. If written submissions from the community are not welcome, please delete this

from the Street Naming Policy. Sources for road names may include: a) Written submissions received from the community;
