Victoria Statutory Requirements

Victorian legislation does not require specific competencies or qualifications for Quarry Managers. The legislation requires that each Tenement holder is responsible to appoint a manager with sufficient qualifications and experience, at their discretion. While the legislation does not require specific qualifications, a Certificate IV in Surface Extraction Operations for lower risk operations and a Diploma of Surface Operations Management for higher risk operations are good benchmarks. Equally, the Tenement holder has the responsibility to ensure the person appointed remains competent. Therefore, ensuring there is evidence that the person has current skills and knowledge to undertake the role at the site they are managing is important.
