2 Annual Report 2014–15 Dial Before You Dig

In my third report as Chair of Dial Before You Dig Vic/Tas, I have the pleasure of presenting the 2014–15 DBYD Vic/Tas Annual Report.

Highlights of DBYD Vic/Tas’s business and strategic outcomes during 2014–15• DBYD enquires increased by 20.5% to 315,600 (1,302,000

nationally) of which 89% were requested via DBYD’s online and mobile platforms.

• This resulted in over 1,679,600 DBYD referrals being sent to members across Victoria and Tasmania.

• The delivery of over $400,000 in fee reductions to members in 2014–15 (based on 13/14 pricing and volumes) with a similar amount anticipated for 2015–16.

• The team added 14 new Vic/Tas DBYD members growing the association to 257 members, with approximately 220 being asset owners.

• The continuation of our three-year strategic plan to deliver ongoing savings to members whilst expanding DBYD’s role in damage minimisation programs.

• DBYD Safe Excavation Training and Awareness sessions were delivered to more than 2,800 targeted contractors across the construction, electrical, communications, training and local government industries. The team also spread the safe excavation message at 14 tradeshows and conferences across Victoria and Tasmania, patronised by many thousands of visitors and registered delegates.

• Facilitated workshops for contractors and members have been delivered during the year on request. Assistance from our members has been invaluable, with representatives from Downer Tenix for Ausnet, Comdain Infrastructure for Multinet Gas, Zinfra for TasGas Pipelines, Telstra, Yarra Valley Water, and Energy Safe Victoria. We thank these members for their contributions and assistance in our ongoing program to reduce damage to underground infrastructure.

In my 13/14 Chair’s Report, I spoke of the Association’s strong promotion of DBYD as being The Essential First Step for the construction and excavating industries, State and Local Governments, Water Authorities, NBN and the wider community for the protection of workers and underground assets.

I am pleased to advise that the Board and DBYD team have again continued to focus on providing improved services, governance and support for all DBYD members and users. Our ultimate aim is to improve safety within the excavation community and eliminate instances of damage to underground infrastructure.

Key 14/15 priorities for DBYD Vic/Tas and other State and national DBYD organisations have included: the enhancement and delivery of DBYD awareness and marketing programs; an initiative to develop a low cost DBYD response solution for smaller members; DBYD Demand and Awareness Research; the development of Plan Consolidation and Collation services; facilitation of standardised plans across the Tasmanian water sector; and the implementation of a new national accreditation process for Telstra locators led by Telstra and DBYD Qld.

The Association of Australian Dial Before You Dig Services (AADBYDS) provides DBYD Vic/Tas with marketing, IT, Web, Call Centre and business services via a Service Contract and other contract arrangement. This continues to deliver ongoing cost efficiencies and service improvements for all members and users.

Dial Before You Dig Annual Report 2014–15 3

• We continued our Rural Communities Sponsorship Program, driving awareness of the DBYD message by supportive engagements with rural communities through their local sporting and community organisations across rural Victoria and Tasmania.

• Several co-branding initiatives were undertaken with members, reinforcing the damage prevention message across shared audiences and stakeholders.

• The first ever Vic/Tas DBYD Outdoor Contractors day was held in February, attracting participation by many of our members in a unique knowledge sharing initiative.

• The annual DBYD Technology Forum was attended by a cross-section of every membership class and hosted speakers from the energy sector, civil construction and the DBYD service. A new DBYD training kit, updated to include our new Mobile Web platform, was developed and issued to RTOs across Victoria for inclusion in their construction industry programs. Today, more than 20 Victorian RTOs have adopted the DBYD kit for their training. The kit has also been delivered to a large number of civil contractors and members as part of their safety toolbox deliverables.

• Continuing industry engagement with multiple peak bodies across the wider excavation sector, including Municipal Works Operations Association, Local Government Association of Tasmania, National Electrical and Communications Association, Master Builders Association (Victoria and Tasmania), Housing Industry Australia (Victoria and Australia), Tasmanian Farmers and Growers Association, Victorian Farmers Association and the Civil Contractors Federation (Victoria and Tasmania) IPWEA Victoria, and Municipal Association of Victoria.

In order to ensure the long-term viability of the organisation, appropriate checks and balances are in place to ensure that our Board, team and AADBYDS continue to deliver on our responsibilities to the Vic/Tas Association.

These programs include:

• Effective Board and Executive Sub-committees

• Ongoing policy and procedures reviews

• Governance reviews

• Investment, finance strategy and reporting

• Operational and budget reviews

• Risk and Business Continuity planning

• Formal AADBYDS Service Contract performance reviews and renewal

• Strategic Planning reviews

• Active Director (Member and Co-opted) recruitment

• Training for Directors and our DBYD team.

In conclusion, I would like to acknowledge again the support of the Vic/Tas Directors and the national DBYD team over the past 12 months. Their ongoing commitment to the organisation and the objectives of the DBYD association have ensured we are in a strong position to deliver an ‘Essential Service’ to the Victorian and Tasmanian communities.

I look forward to the next 12 months as we move forward on a number of significant member and stakeholder engagement initiatives and further enhance our service delivery offerings.

Dial Before You Dig Annual Report 2014–15 5

The 2014/15 year has seen the continuation of strong operational performance of DBYD, reflected in various performance metrics and feedback from our members, service users and other stakeholders.

State Manager’s Report

Business GrowthDuring 2014/15, the Association received 315,668 enquiries (21% increase on 2013/14), generating 1,679,685 referrals to members of the Association (23% increase on 2013/14).

There have also been some significant developments strategically, with the implementation of a new Vic/Tas Strategic Plan (2014-2018) and the arrival during the year of a new CEO of DBYD’s national business (Association of Australian Dial Before You Dig Services Ltd), Sophie Valkan.

2014–2018 Strategic PlanThe new Strategic Plan has served to concentrate the focus of the Vic/Tas Association on six key result areas:

Member RetentionA vital ingredient in the continuity and growth of the association and the ultimate indicator of satisfaction with the services delivered to our member base.

Increase MembershipMember acquisition is an essential element of the association’s growth path and necessary for the continuing goal of protecting underground services and alleviating community dislocation.

Retention of UsersValue to members requires that adoption of the service, by people engaged in excavation activities, is ongoing.

Increase User NumbersSuccessful promotion of safe digging practices will ensure that the Dial Before You Dig service is adopted more widely.

A Sustainable OrganisationOngoing integrity of the service is dependent on the successful management of the business for financial, social and environmental performance.

Growing our BusinessScope to improve safe excavation practices and damage minimisation exists in a broader context than the core 1100 service alone. Technology and stakeholder relationships offer opportunities for the association to expand its involvement and increase its value.

The Board and staff are focussed on these key areas as we deliver outcomes consistent with the mission and values of the organisation.

Referrals have also continued to increase in their proportion to enquiries. This measure reflects the continued growth in membership across Victoria and Tasmania and is the most fundamental measure of value derived from the Dial Before You Dig service by our customers and is achieved by continued growth in membership and expanding coverage of members’ networks by the DBYD system. The national comparison of referrals per enquiry reflects the successful work in recruiting and engaging members of the Vic/Tas Association over many years.

6 Annual Report 2014–15 Dial Before You Dig

Mode of AccessThe trend towards online methods of enquiry lodgement has continued during the past year. An increasing proportion of our users are lodging enquiries via our mobile platforms (iPhone and Mobile Web) which allow in-situ lodgement from worksites. The mobile web platform is device independent technology and was launched during the year.

Looking forward, we recognise that technological developments may offer new opportunities to modernise delivery platforms and enable members to more efficiently provide information to service users.

Reduced Service Costs to MembersGrowth in service usage, memberships and referrals, as well as the trend to more cost-efficient enquiry lodgement methods over several years, has served to reduce the marginal costs of running the 1100 service. This has fed through to real savings to our members over the past six years, with average cost per referral falling from $2.25 to $1.79 in 2014/15.

The introduction of a new seven-tiered fee structure from 1 July 2014 has resulted in savings to members of more than $630,000 over the past twelve months. A further reduction has been implemented for 2015/16 and we expect that further cost savings to our members will be deliverable over the next one to three years based on moderate increases in service usage and membership growth.

Marketing

Productive engagement with our various stakeholder groups has been an important factor in the growth and evolution of the Association over the years. During this past year, we have enjoyed the support of peak bodies and agencies in promoting the 1100 service and the broader message of asset protection and safe excavation across Victoria and Tasmania. Marketing efforts have continued to mainly target the big four user segments of heavy excavation, trades, farming, and homeowners.

Awareness presentations across a wide range of industry sectors and training institutions have contributed to the

education of contractors, builders, municipal works crews, tradespeople, apprentices and trainees. Participation at various field days through the year assisted the promotion of our message to farmers and rural workers. Industry conferences and trade shows have also been used to communicate with specific industries and also to the wider public. The range of activities and their benefits largely depend on the hard work of our small crew, led by Jo Varley, and the enthusiastic support of several stakeholders who are similarly dedicated to promoting the safe excavation message and to encourage usage of the 1100 service.

Dial Before You Dig Annual Report 2014–15 7

Infrastructure Damage Reporting SystemDial Before You Dig is committed to minimising the risk of damage to underground infrastructure and the risk of injury. Over the years, the number of people using our service has significantly increased and we believe that this has led to a significant decrease in the proportion of works that have resulted in damage to networks.

However, damages still occur, and we should all understand more about why.

To facilitate this, Dial Before You Dig has developed the Infrastructure Damage Reporting System, or IDR System. The IDR System is a software-based tool for our members to report and record damage incidents, analyse their own data, as well as consolidated non-sensitive industry data, to identify patterns and trends that will improve the understanding of how, where, when and why incidents happen.

The IDR System serves across all industries Australia-wide, allowing batch uploads or discrete uploads per occurrence over the internet via desktop or mobile devices, using a secure webform interface. All IDR System data is hosted in a secure on-shore environment, providing member access to their own respective data for analysis against national, industry and cross-sector trends etc. Currently, we have over 49,000 incidents recorded on the IDR System.

This figure is expected to grow substantially as our members across the country appreciate its importance and subscribe.

We need our asset-owning members to support the IDR System initiative by uploading their incident data. The ultimate positive outcome of this support will be improved safety and protection of people and infrastructure. Data collection will allow Dial Before You Dig to identify root causes, perform trend analysis and better educate all stakeholders so that damages can be reduced through better practices. The IDR System is completely free of charge to all Dial Before You Dig members.

12 Annual Report 2014–15 Dial Before You Dig

1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Act.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Association in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

InvestmentsNon-current investments are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of investments is reviewed annually by the Committee to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments. The recoverable amount is assessed from the quoted market value for shares in listed companies. The expected net cash flows from investments have not been discounted to their present value in determining the recoverable amounts.

Property, Plant and EquipmentEach class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and EquipmentPlant and equipment is measured on the cost basis and is therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to its estimated recoverable amount. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Association and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in surplus or deficit during the financial period in which they are incurred.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

DepreciationThe depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land, are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives to the economic association commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Properties held for investment purposes are not subject to a depreciation charge. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of fixed asset Depreciation rate

Plant and equipment 17% - 33.33%

Plant and equipment < $300 100%

Office furniture and equipment 5% - 33.33%

Motor vehicles 12.5%

Computer software 40%

Structural improvements 2.5%

Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.

RevenueInterest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Goods and Services Tax (GST)Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities, which are recoverable from or payable to the ATO, are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

Trade and Other PayablesTrade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Association during the reporting period that remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts targeted to be paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when the Association has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

Income TaxNo provision for income tax has been raised as the Association is exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
