Storm water management update
The capital works for improved storm water management on the Geelong site are approaching completion. The upgraded lined storage dam increases the on site storage capacity to 5Ml and is supported by upgraded pumping capacity, and generator backup power for pumps.
The project is aimed at avoiding storm water flows from the site during normal rainfalls and reusing storm water to irrigate amenity tree plantings and reduce dust from truck traffic.

Safety first for all
Midway realises that working safely is vital to the ultimate success of our organisation, and our safety obligations include our own employees and also extend to the community in which we operate.
Recently, we have upgraded the main truck exit from our North Shore facility and put in a number of safety controls to help ensure the bike riders cycling on the track around our facility are not put in harms way from trucks exiting our site. The truck passage inside our facility has been upgraded to concrete pavement at a cost of one million dollars, and regular cleaning of the pavement minimises dust and mud carryover to The Esplanade. Convex mirrors and warning signs have been added at all exit points to mitigate the risk of accidents due to blind spots.
