                                                                   OPEC - 2 David Low Highway, Castaways Beach
                                                                                      Rev 02 – AFU – 10 Aug 2017


The primary objectives of this EO/UXO Risk Assessment were as follows:

         Determine the extent to which the Site may be contaminated by military ordnance including
          but not limited to:
             o     explosive ordnance (EO);
             o     unexploded ordnance (UXO) or abandoned explosive ordnance (AXO);
             o     explosive ordnance waste (EOW);
             o     hazardous explosive ordnance components (fuses, etc); and
             o     hazardous explosive ordnance constituents (residual chemicals, etc).
         Provide preliminary advice regarding:
             o     the nature, location and extent of such contamination;
             o     the EO/UXO risks faced by the Client; and
             o     mitigation of risks associated with EO/UXO.


METHODOLOGY
CONDUCT OF THE ASSESSMENT
The EO/UXO Assessment of the Site was conducted in line with AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 ‘Risk
Management - Principles and Guidelines’ and UXO industry norms which included:

         desktop research to identify military activities that occurred in or near the site (units,
          timeframes, weapons systems, munitions, etc) – including but not limited to:
             o     examination of records held by Dept of Defence, Australian War Memorial,
                   National/State Archives, Qld Govt and other sources;
             o     obtaining local information; and
             o     examination of topographic and land use data;
         desktop research to identify UXO reports and UXO investigations;
         plotting, recording and analysis of all relevant material to:
             o     identify military activities that may generate munitions-related hazards, and
             o     determine the possible locations, magnitude and nature of EO contamination;
         analysis of the interaction between potential munitions hazards and the Client’s (or other
          users’) activities to quantify UXO risks (risk assessment); and
         analysis of measures to mitigate or reduce risks to an acceptable level.
