CSG July 2024 Site Visit: Melbourne & Olympic Parks

Site visit to Melbourne & Olympic Parks

Presentation by: Scott McMillan, Director of Safety, Melbourne & Olympic Parks

Presentation package now available (members only)

Attendees enjoyed the chance to see inside the safety systems of some of Melbourne’s biggest event and sporting venues with Scott McMillan, Director of Safety at Melbourne & Olympic Parks on 9 July.

Melbourne & Olympic Parks (M&OP) is home to seven national, elite sporting teams and welcomes millions of visitors annually. The precinct is acclaimed for hosting the Australian Open, a range of sporting codes, as well as top international acts and musicians.

On the site visit, Scott showed the safety side of what goes into putting on some of its main sporting events. This includes discussing the challenge of providing safe delivery, in a short time frame and on a very large scale.

The presenter:

Host Scott McMillan, Director of Safety at Melbourne & Olympic Parks, conducted our tour. About the venue: The original Olympic Park sporting arena, established in 1933, was demolished in 1946 for redevelopment to prepare the precinct to host field hockey and cycling events during the 1956 Olympic Games. By 1988, another significant redevelopment was underway to establish a purpose-built, multi-venue National Tennis Centre to host the Australian Open. In 2006 the precinct hosted various events for the Commonwealth Games. Today the precinct is home to six of Melbourne’s premier venues: Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena, John Cain Arena, AAMI Park, CENTREPIECE and Kia Arena. A $972 million-dollar Melbourne Park Redevelopment has recently been completed by the Victorian Government.

OHS employment trends
We are privileged once again to have Helen O'Keefe share her knowledge and advice about the latest employment trends in the OHS sector at our first event for 2025.
This will be of particular interest to our cohort, who no longer remain with an organisation for their entire career. Rather there is considerable movement between roles and industries, due to the transferable skills of the OHS professional. This presentation will show the scope of what's out there and how best to navigate it.
As Managing Director of HOK Talent Solutions, Helen specialises in health and safety recruitment, which is why her insights are so valuable. Her knowledge is backed up by comprehensive analysis of the Australian health and safety job market that allows Helen and her team to identify the underlying factors influencing OHS employment trends.
Helen’s presentation will include an opportunity for discussion, so whether you're an employer or a job seeker, bring along your questions and make the most of Helen's expertise.
The presentation will be followed by the 2024 AGM for Financial Members.
