> Boral Cement and
Berrima Cement Works update
BORAL
BERRIMA CEMENT
Berrima Cement Works update ˃ Berrima had another outstanding year (FY16-17) in terms of clinker and cement
production. ˃ Clinker production record for second straight year – just under 1.5 million tonnes produced
˃ Cement sales continued to be strong leading to highest weekly cement production in years
˃ Safety performance continued to improve across the year but there was one LTI. ˃ Operator’s finger injured while cleaning a chute
˃ Safety remains a key focus at site
˃ Major kiln shutdown – January 2018. ˃ Expected to take 23 days to complete
˃ Personnel changes ˃ New Maintenance Manager, Joao Nunes,
commenced at Berrima in Sep 2016.
˃ Currently recruiting for a new Production Manager
after internal promotion.
New Berrima Road Overpass ˃ Council is implementing plans for a new overpass connecting Taylor Ave and
Berrima Rd. ˃ We are finalising the relevant land access and acquisition agreements with Council to allow
construction to begin
˃ The new bypass will significantly improve traffic flow and eliminate rail/road interaction.
˃ The existing high volume air sampler (HVAS) situated between the cement works and Inghams
will need to be relocated.
Stakeholder Perception Benchmark ˃ During this financial year (2017-18), we will be conducting an SPB for Berrima
˃ SPB is our award winning process for verifying the environmental and community performance of
a site by gathering feedback from neighbours
˃ Random selection of sites throughout Australia are subjected to SPBs in each FY
˃ The SPB process involves pre-notification followed by collection of feedback
through various channels dependant on the site’s circumstances. ˃ Pre-notification usually by letter to all premises within footprint
˃ Feedback collection via combination of in-person visits, phone and online means
˃ The gathered information is used to both develop the subject site’s community
engagement activities and to highlight operational issues of concern.
˃ Site Stakeholder Engagement Plans are framed
around the comments given through an SPB
˃ SEPs are part of the operational process of
sites, so identified priorities must be addressed
˃ We have not yet identified the timing of
the SPB’s conduct ˃ However we will share the results with you at the
next community meeting.

Solid Waste Derived Fuels (SWDF) ˃ At our last meeting in November, we announced that the NSW Department of
Planning and Environment (DPE) had approved our modification for SWDF.
˃ To recap, the approval permits the following: ˃ Use of up to 100 000 tonnes per year of wood-waste derived fuel (WWDF) and refuse-derived
fuel (RDF) for the kiln’s energy needs, replacing equivalent amount of coal
˃ Amended air emissions limits
˃ Construction of a storage and feed system to allow SWDFs to be integrated into production
˃ The project represents an $11.3 million investment in the Berrima site. ˃ Supported by a $4.08 million grant from the NSW Environment Trust Waste Less, Recycle More
initiative
˃ Will substantially assist in reducing energy costs
and therefore cost of production, increasing long-
term viability of the site.
Recap – what is WWDF and RDF?
Wood waste-derived fuel (WWDF)
Refuse-derived fuel (RDF)
‘Leftovers’ from other industries
Untreated waste like sawdust,
pallets, chipped bark, mill off-cuts
NOT commercial or native
forestry material
Combustible materials recovered
from ‘mainstream’ waste
Papers, cardboards, packaging,
some plastics, C&D material
Screened and processed to
specification

different times throughout the schedule.
˃ Where possible, manufacture and assembly will
occur away from Berrima site before installation
˃ Local suppliers to be used where we can
Construction details ˃ Due to the location of the project at the rear of the Cement Works, we expect
there will be no discernible difference to normal operations.
˃ Construction hours will be ˃ Mon-Fri: 7am until 6pm
˃ Sat: 7am until 1pm
˃ No construction is allowed on Sundays or public holidays if the construction noise is audible at
our site boundary
˃ The sequenced stages of the construction schedule include:
˃ Civils and earthworks: earthmoving, pouring of
slabs and foundations
˃ Materials store and Reception building: built off-
site, fitting pieces together, services connection
˃ Installation of ‘grab’ crane: built off-site, install
moving floor hopper, crane and electricals
˃ Installation of materials handling equipment:
tube conveyors, bin feeders, multiflex
˃ Electrical, control and instrumentation: cabling,
switchroom, light and power
˃ Some transport movements out of the
normal might be noticeable at times (eg
concrete agitators)
˃ Preconstruction: set up site office, fencing, arrange utilities supply to project site
Communication ˃ The SWDF project presents Berrima with an exciting opportunity to showcase
technological ability and innovation, all achieved with your assistance.
˃ Accordingly, we’ll be sharing our progress regularly through the schedule with
you: ˃ Tracking against schedule, major milestones, advance notice of activity (eg additional transport
movements) which may be noticeable outside site, first testing of SWDFs and your feedback,
reports to authorities
˃ Information will be supplied by the Project Team, Berrima site management and Boral’s
Stakeholder Relations Manager.
˃ All regular channels will be used: usual community meetings, newsletter, Cement Works website,
local media editorial and advertorial, potential site inspection events (during and post)
˃ As usual, we will seek your ongoing
feedback so that we can adjust either our
works or communications to suit you.
˃ If you have a complaint or concern: ˃ Call the Cement Works on 4860 2222 (voicemail)

incident’ occurs. ˃ Examples include significant oil or hydrocarbon spills, release of high volumes of alkaline
water, fires and/or significant smoke
˃ Part of the procedures includes establishing a register of neighbour’s contact
details to be used for such notification. ˃ Started in 2013, all details kept secure and not used for other purposes
˃ Please let us know if you’d like to be included in this register (or have your
details updated) ˃ Open to those living within a one kilometre
radius of the site only.

Change to community meeting regime ˃ As part of Berrima’s planning consent, we are required to establish and manage
a Community Liaison Group (CLG). ˃ Purpose is to act as a two-way communication channel between residents and Boral, sharing
information as well as identifying and recommending solutions to matters of concern.
˃ Is to include representatives from Boral, Council and up to four community members
˃ The NSW Department of Planning and Environment introduced new guidelines
for Community Consultation Committees in November which means we need to
make changes. ˃ Until now, our open community meetings have been our way of meeting this requirement
˃ With the new guidelines, we need to properly constitute a CLG going forward
˃ The CLG is an independently chaired
forum which will meet at least twice a year
to review and discuss the same things as
we do at the existing meetings. ˃ Up to seven community representatives may be
part of the CLG
˃ Membership is via an expression of interest to the
independent Chair who then makes the selection
˃ Boral and Council selects its own representatives
˃ Members sign a Code of Conduct and must
declare interests before joining the CLG
Change to community meeting regime ˃ Following this meeting, we will begin the process of transitioning to this new
arrangement. ˃ We will write to the DPE to request allocation of an independent Chair
˃ Once the Chair is identified, we will work with them per the guidelines to recruit community
representatives (advertising and general promotion)
˃ We will ensure all of our ‘regulars’ are updated with activities as they occur
˃ Recognising that joining a formal committee is not for everyone, and the valuable
contribution made through our ‘open’ community meetings until now, we are also
going to voluntarily hold a ‘whole of community’ meeting each year. ˃ WoC meetings will run as per our existing meetings – open to everyone, Boral to chair
˃ Will be held at the start of each new financial year (Jul-Aug) so we can review the previous year’s
activities and the new year’s plans
˃ Extra WoC meetings will be arranged if important
matters come up, or if the community requests
one.
˃ We are making our voluntary WoC
commitment because we believe it is
needed to keep all locals connected with
our operations. Thanks to you for your
ongoing interest and participation!
Community activities ˃ Since our last meeting, the following community projects have been given
support through the Cement Works’ community engagement program:
˃ Berrima Townlife: Berrima Carols by Candellight (Dec 16)
