Peter,
An interesting point. I guess we will find out the answer when a non-
inducted person suffers a serious injury or drowns in a pond. When
that happens, it will be lawyers at 50 paces.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Would the same apply at WTP? An induction course is required for
access to the northern section, but I don't recall anyone raising this
issue.

Hi Simon,
Well, that opens a can of worms. NTP&W making an OH&S
induction course
a condition for a permit places any permit holder who allows
a person
who has not completed the induction to accompany them to
Leanyer in an
invidious position. NTP&W has shifted the public risk liability onto
the permit holder who allows any non-inducted person to accompany
them. Permit holders who give their key to anyone who has not been
inducted, and allows that person to go into Leanyer by
themselves, may
well find themselves even further in the legal deep end.
This policy may well result in hiring professional guides
with public
liability insurance, the only way for visiting birders to
visit Leanyer.

Hi,
Peter Kyne has requested that we kindly pass on information from NT
Power and Water, regarding access to Leanyer Sewage Farm. Note, the
application for a permit will only suit locals and the
deadline is 30
September. Here is his message:
Dear NT Birders,
To assist Power and Water in arranging access to Leanyer Sewage
Ponds, they have asked to I co-ordinate a list of all of those people
interested in obtaining a permit to access the ponds. At this stage
please use me as a central contact point rather than individually
contacting Power and Water.
This is the first step for Power and Water to begin preparing
indemnities and keys, and in upgrading their database.
Following this
will be an induction process,
with Power and Water looking at a group induction in the first
instance. Date and time to be advised in due course. So please, don't
apply if you are not able to make yourself available for this
induction,
thanks ; )
If you wish to obtain a permit, please advise me of the following
details by 12 noon FRIDAY 30 September:
1. First name and surname
2. Email address
3. Residential address
4. Phone number (home/mobile)
5. If you are a member of the NTFNC
Permits will be issued for a 3 year period with a $50 key deposit.
Previous key deposits will be honoured.
Many thanks, Pete Kyne
