Contracts Updated
Credit Application and Conditions & Terms of Credit
The CMPA and CLH Lawyers have developed a Credit Application and Conditions & Terms of Credit document for use in our industry. The document is available through the CMPA you may or may not wish to seek independent legal advice if you wish to ensure that the various generic terms and conditions are suitable to you.
• The documents require the insertion of the relevant supplier’s details etc where indicated.
• The supplier should ensure that the documents are completed carefully and accurately by both them and the customer, and that the documents are provided to each customer at the commencement of the supply relationship, in order to maximise the protection of the documents.
Short Form Transport Contract
The CMPA and Nevett Ford Lawyers developed a short form transport contract intended to be very minimal in its terms, although addressing the compliance issues and Chain of Responsibility obligations. On a practical level the document should be easily understood and be readily signable.
Transport Contract
Developed to assist Members in complying with the Owner Drivers and Forestry Contractors Act 2005 and Chain of Responsibility requirements. Since 1 May 2007, all users of owner driver vehicles throughout Victoria have been required to have a contract with the owner driver. The CMPA’s contract has been designed to comply with legal requirements and ease construction material processing business costs. The contract is designed as a template for negotiation between construction material processing owners/operators and transport owner-drivers and provides clarity on the division of responsibility and the obligations of the supplier and the owner-driver. Furthermore, the contract assists compliance with road transport Chain of Responsibility laws which cover the transport of materials.
Management Committee Meeting
The CMPA Management Committee Meeting 1-2023 was held in Kilmore from 1:30 pm Wednesday 22 February 2023. In attendance were Jason Comben (Chair), Craig Banthorpe, Ashley Day, Tim Bird, Jason Rudge, John Pititto (MS Teams), David McKelvie, and Garry Cranny.

Prior to the meeting the Committee met with Jane Burton, Executive Director Resources and Laura Cronin, Manager Legislative Reform (Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action) regarding the reform of the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990. The Management Committee did not support the proposed reform. The Minutes from the previous Meeting 4-2022 were accepted in addition to the Financial Report to 31 January 2023 which gave a favourable net profit against budget.
