CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
CABS IV will be held at the Darwin Convention Centre on the 29th and 30th August 2022 and will bring together geoscientists who have an interest in the geological evolution and resource potential of central Australian basins.
From the greater McArthur in the north to the Officer, Pedirka-Simpson and Cooper-Eromanga basins in the south, the geological history of these basins is fascinating with a sedimentary record going back almost 2 Billion years.
As well as providing some of the best-preserved early records of basin evolution on the planet, the basins also contain significant hydrocarbon and mineral resources and exciting potential in new energy sources and emerging technologies such as hydrogen, helium and CCUS (carbon capture utilisation storage).
New technologies, new information and innovative ideas from industry, academia, government bodies and research institutions, are now providing new perspectives and a vastly improved understanding of these old, often remote, basins with unexpected, positive insights into their economic potential.
CABS IV will provide a forum for the geoscience community to share knowledge and discuss the latest ideas and technological developments in central Australian basins.
In addition to formal presentations by geoscientists working in central Australia, the Symposium will also provide a ‘hands on’ experience for attendees who will be offered the opportunity, through core workshops with experts, to gain a state of the art understanding of the origins of these ancient rocks.
Papers presented at the conference will be published online in a high quality CABS IV Proceedings volume.
I encourage you to participate in CABS IV, network with colleagues, and update your geoscientific understanding of the latest developments and ongoing research in the fascinating basins of central Australia.
The CABS IV Committee is looking forward to welcoming you to Darwin in August 2021, our event will be set in the stunning tropical Waterfront precinct at the Darwin Convention Centre, a world class venue for business event.
We will be creating an engaging social program around the conference for all delegates to enjoy Darwin at its best time of the year - the Darwin Dry Season.

Date: Tuesday 30th August 2022
Time: There will be three workshop sessions of 2.5 hours (including transport to/from core facility)
8.30 am to 10.30 am
10.00 am to 12.30 pm
12.30 pm to 3 pm
Cost: Free for CABS attendees
Location: NTGS Core facility Winnellie (transportation will be provided to and from the conference centre)
Maximum attendees: 20 per session (maximum 60 spots)
Demonstrators: Howard Johnson (Imperial College London), Vincent Crombez (CSIRO), Amber Jarrett (NTGS), Tim Munson (NTGS), Claudio Delle Piane (CSIRO) and Morgan Blades (University of Adelaide)
Information:
The primary objective of the core workshop is to review and discuss key cores from the Roper Group in the Beetaloo Sub-basin. This workshop is interactive and attendees will fully participate in the workshop by sharing their observations and interpretations.
The four selected cores will reflect the variety of sedimentary environments present in the upper Roper Group, including organic rich shales of the Velkerri Formation, and will illustrate the stratigraphic trends present in the basin. In teams of 5, attendees will observe cores and, though team discussions and interaction with the workshop leaders develop an understanding of the sedimentary system. This will include insights into depositional processes, controls on the vertical and lateral facies organisation, and the distribution and evolution of depositional environments across the Beetaloo Sub-basin.

Join geologists from the Northern Territory Geological Survey as they guide you through the ‘top end’ of the Northern Territory exploring outcrops spanning the Palaeoproterozoic to Cretaceous.
Highlights include:
- A Katherine Gorge river cruise to examine cross bedded quartz sandstones and conglomerates of the Palaeoproterozoic Katherine River Group in the walls of the Gorge.
- A swim and explore of Edith Falls and another opportunity to examine Katherine River Group sediments
- A visit to Cutta Cutta Caves Nature Park in the karstic Cambrian limestones of the Georgina Basin.
- A visit to the historic Pine Creek mining town
- Early Cretaceous outcrops from the Money Shoal Basin in the Darwin area and unconformity with the underlying Pine Creek Orogen. The sediments are interpreted to have been deposited in a relatively low energy shallow marine/paralic environment and have yielded marine macrofossils including belemnites, ammonites, and marine reptiles.

EVENT HEALTH & SAFETY GUIDELINE FOR DARWIN CONVENTION CENTRE
https://www.darwinconvention.com.au/assets/pdf/downloads/Safe-Event-Guideline_2020_V1.1.pdf
AGENTUR COVID-19 Plan
OVERARCHING
AGENTUR adheres to the COVID-19 Safety Plan and has committed to
· Physical distancing measures
· Health and hygiene principle
AGENTUR takes the health, wellbeing, and safety of our staff and clients very seriously. As an event management company, we have extensive experience maintaining safe work practices when on location and coordinating events. We have extended our health and safety practices to address the current COVID-19 requirements and restrictions.
AGENTUR has and continues to provide correct and appropriate education and knowledge to employees on physical distancing, correct hygiene, and health monitoring. The education provided is that based on the COVID Safe Guidelines provided by the Northern Territory Government. This information is delivered and updated as required in our weekly meetings which occur once per week.
DURING BOARDER RESTRICTIONS
In the event that AGENTUR employs interstate staff & contractors, the staff member/s or contractors will be guided to follow the current laws that are present in the Northern Territory.
ALL STAFF, interstate, and Territorians are provided with adequate food and water on shoots/events. This is vital given our climate and the heat. All food and water are individually packaged for each staff member.
Workplace physical distancing measures
BUSINESS PREMISES
All AGENTUR staff have their own office space with a minimum of 1.5m distancing between each other if sharing a room. In common areas of our workplace (kitchen, garage, studio, green room), all staff can enforce the 1.5m distancing requirement.
Our event team does interact with each other and talent. They can safely enforce the 1.5m distancing requirement on events with talent, external crew, and clients. Our event team is also educated on cleaning and sanitising equipment before and after every use.
During peak lunch periods, each staff member will take turns using communal kitchen equipment, disinfecting, and sanitising after use. (This includes benchtops and tapware).
Measures we take to manage physical distancing:
● A maximum of 2 people per office.
● Hand sanitizers, disinfecting soap, and disposable paper towels are available on-premises &at entry areas/reception.
● A maximum of 2 people in the staff common areas.
● A minimum distance of 1.5m between staff, crew, clients, and talent when on event location
Hygiene measures
Hygiene protocols have been put in place throughout the workday in the office and for on-location events. All AGENTUR staff and contractors are encouraged to ensure they are keeping their hygiene a priority.
AGENTUR enables this through hygiene stations at the entrance of the office area, as wellas the supply of disposable (one-use) paper towels, disinfectant soap, and sealed disposal bins.
Measures we take to manage hygiene:
● Disinfectant is used on all benchtops and door handles regularly.
● Each office/communal space has a rubbish bin; this helps eliminate cross-contamination
throughout the office.
● Hospital-grade ISO wipes used for equipment cleaning.
Monitoring and identification of unwell staff
AGENTUR has and continues to provide information to all staff in regard to COVID-19 transmission and symptoms.
All AGENTUR staff are aware that they are required to stay home if they are feeling unwell, they are required to see a doctor at the earliest opportunity and are not permitted to return to work until they are cleared to be no longer ill. If their symptoms are that of COVID-19 they will need to provide evidence that they have returned a negative test result and do not carry the virus.
Should a staff member start displaying symptoms whilst on the job, an ambulance will be called, to transport them to the appropriate testing/treatment facility, officials will be notified also. Everyone who has had contact with said staff member would also be required to undergo testing, to rule out COVID-19. Should the test result be positive for any staff member, the above rules will be initiated.
Measures we take to manage the health of our staff:
● Ensure that any staff does not attend work if they feel unwell.
● Recommend staff see a doctor if they are displaying symptoms of COVID-19.
● All interstate staff to quarantine as per the laws at the time in the Northern Territory.
Risk assessment of interstate staff:
AGENTUR will undertake a risk assessment when assessing the arrival of any interstate
staff & contractors. This risk assessment measures the risk potential employees may pose to
transmitting Coronavirus to Territorians. This risk assessment will consider the below:
Considerations:
- Activity being conducted
- Size of production/event
- Requirements of the said staff member
- Location in which the staff member would be traveling from (potential ‘hotspots’ or clusters)
- Relevant orders and directions under biosecurity / public health guidelines
AGENTUR will not proceed with employing any interstate staff should it be deemed too high of a risk, based on any of the considerations above or if the staff member is not immediately required for essential production/event.
