            a. Instruct employees to make the site safe and secure (i.e. remove equipment and
               chemicals to the refuge site);
            b. Evacuate all non‐essential staff from the site; and
            c. For essential site staff, congregate to a pre‐determined site area and await further
               instruction from the site manager. Preparations for the immediate evacuation of
               essential staff is to occur at this point.
      N.B. Based on the hydraulic modelling results, it is estimated that there will be up to
      approximately 2 hours of available warning time between the start of inundation of the low‐
      level crossing and the inundation of the main egress route from the site.
4.    Following the inundation of the low‐level crossing, the site manager is to continually inspect
      and monitor the water level gauge installed at Location 1 (refer Appendix C).
5.    Once the water level at the gauge reaches 92.0m AHD (and/or the audible warning is sounded),
      the site manager is to immediately evacuate the remaining site personnel. All remaining
      personnel at the site are to immediately make their way to the refuge location as illustrated in
      Appendix C.
6.    Once all employees and persons on site have been accounted for, the site manager is to notify
      the SES and/or emergency response authorities to inform them that the site has been
      evacuated.
7.    The site manager is responsible for allowing employees to re‐enter the site following a flood
      event. Considerations by the site manager in making this decision includes: ‐
            a. Cessation of rainfall in the greater area;
            b. Flood levels in Six Mile Creek decreasing to well below trigger levels (and in the
                absence of further rainfall in the Six Mile Creek catchment);
            c. Current flood and rainfall warnings as issued by any local agency and organisation;
            d. Essential staff required and likely tasks to be performed, etc;
            e. General safety of site (site access free of debris and flowing water).
After Closing
No persons will be at the site at this time. The site should be secured. Procedure is the same as for
outside operating hours as outlined above.
