About the Community Liaison Committee

The Community Liaison Committee is made up of interested members of the Yarraville community, representatives from Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong City Councils, the Environment Protection Authority Victoria and Mobil Yarraville Terminal.

The meetings provide an opportunity for you to talk to Mobil about the Yarraville Terminal.

As the world’s online data grows exponentially, our technology specialists look for opportunities to use these resources to improve our business.

One recent example was the development of an innovative application designed to improve the difficult task of sharing up-to-date maps and terminal information with the hundreds of fuel transport truck drivers who visit our many fuel terminals, including Yarraville.

Mobil Fuels Operations Australian Fleet Supervisor Shaun de Blaquiere explained that this new web-based app allowed fleet drivers to access the latest versions of site maps and relevant information on their mobile devices.

“This is a very efficient and effective way for us to give the drivers the information they need,” he said.

“It also helps us to manage the safety risks associated with fuel delivery by allowing the drivers to enter and exit the site correctly and be made aware of any site hazards.”

This new app is just one example of how Mobil is harnessing ideas and technology to deliver safer, more efficient business operations.

We have developed a strong safety culture at the terminal over many years and part of this culture is our desire to also improve safety in our community.

Recently we got the opportunity to work with Gateway Community Services, helping to provide new high-visibility vests for their Community FoodLink volunteers.

Gateway Community Services provides a range of programs to support local people in need of social and economic assistance. Community FoodLink is one of the centre’s most important programs, as it supports health and well-being by providing people with access to healthy and nutritious food.

Community FoodLink Coordinator, Catarina, said that the service works with local suppliers to access surplus donated food and distribute it to those in the community who are facing hardship and are in need of urgent food relief on a day-to-day basis.

“Unfortunately, there are a high number of people going without the most basic food,” she said.

Helping to feed community safety“We see a wide range of people needing our assistance - households on low or fixed incomes, asylum seekers and refugees, families in crisis, children, disenfranchised youth and the elderly are those who are most at risk.

“Community FoodLink helps to ensure all local people have access to enough healthy and nutritious food, something that nobody living in Australia should have to go without.”

Gateway recently approached Yarraville Terminal for assistance with funding new high-visibility vests for Community FoodLink Volunteers.

“We were very happy to support Gateway’s Community FoodLink program,” said Yarraville Terminal Manager Michael Singh.

“The high-visibility vests will help keep the volunteers safe while they carry out this important service in the local community.”

Construction work has started on a 2.7 kilometre pipeline that will connect Yarraville Terminal to the Somerton Jet Fuel Pipeline, running from the Altona Refinery to Melbourne Airport.

The project will help to meet Melbourne Airport’s increasing demand for jet fuel.

“Demand for jet fuel at Melbourne Airport continues to grow as both domestic and international travel increases,” said ExxonMobil Australia and New Zealand Fuels Operations Manager Stephen Del Monaco.

Work starts on Jet Fuel pipeline“Demand for jet fuel at Melbourne Airport continues to grow as both domestic and international travel increases.”

“Currently jet fuel imported into the Yarraville Terminal via the fuels wharf at Holden Dock is taken to the airport by truck.

“By providing a direct connection from Yarraville to the Somerton Pipeline, we will be able to more efficiently transport fuel to Melbourne Airport.

“We will work to minimise any impact on the community and the environment during the construction work, which is expected to be completed in about 12 months.”

The people of Yarraville Meet David Craig, Project ManagerWhat does your job here at Yarraville Terminal involve? I am managing the execution phase of the Yarraville Jet Pipeline project (see page 2).

What are you looking forward to in your new role? I picked up the execution responsibilities from the previous project manager on his retirement and this gives me the chance to complete the work safely and within the time/cost targets for the project. The Project Management Team has been formed and is functioning really well – a good team always helps make the workplace an enjoyable place.

Work history prior to this role? I worked in a number of places on many projects, most recently for an offshore installation in a small West African country (Benin) and prior to that on the ExxonMobil Kipper Tuna Turrum project in Gippsland. My wife and I moved to Melbourne from Adelaide, via an 18-month stint in Bangkok where I was working on offshore installation projects, but my most significant experience was with Santos for nearly 25 years in many operational and project roles covering oil and gas production processes and equipment.

What did you study?I have an honours degree in Mechanical Engineering from Adelaide University and have completed many short-term courses over my 35-year career. I was recently honoured to receive recognition as a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Australia.

Hobbies? I love being a grandfather. We have 8 grandchildren and another on the way - of which 5 are here in Melbourne, but 3 are in Houston. We regularly fly to Houston to visit our family there. I enjoy reading, swimming, driving my 35-year-old MGB Roadster and helping out at a kitchen for homeless every month.

Favourite Movies? A few: The Dish; Uncle Buck; Back to the Future; Indiana Jones; and Star Wars.

Operating a busy industrial complex like the Yarraville Terminal in the middle of a modern city requires a great deal of cooperation, support and understanding from the community.

This year marks 90 years since we opened for business at Yarraville, providing the vital energy and products needed to keep our modern wheels turning. I would like to thank members of our community for helping us achieve nine decades of successful operations.

Throughout our history here we have been constantly changing in order the best meet the needs of our developing society. We have seen automobiles grow from enthusiasts’ novelties, through the mass production of the “family car” to our vast modern car fleet. Along the way we have also followed the changes to the commercial vehicle fleets.

Change continues to be a constant today as we invest to meet the evolving needs of our customers, such as the growing need for jet fuel as more of us take-off from Melbourne Airport.

As we continue to focus on our day-to-day operations, supplying fuel to customers across Victoria and into South Australia and NSW, we also want to continue to maintain open communications with our neighbours.

This newsletter and our community meetings help us to keep you informed of what we are doing and your feedback helps us to be aware of what’s on your mind, so I hope you can make it along to our next meeting on 4 May.

Thank you once again for showing an interest in our business.
