Caltas

You may have noticed over recent weeks that your Caltas Driveway Card Acceptor (DCA) site looks a little different. That is because we have commenced upgrading our DCA sites with a new image.

The upgrade was developed by Caltas staff and where possible it will be rolled out to all our DCA and unbranded sites throughout Northern Tasmania. The new design is fresh and clean, it proudly identifies the Caltas corporate image whilst still maintaining the Caltex colours and feel.

The newly approved development of the Caltex Service Station will be a major boost for Campbell Town.

Caltas is delighted its multi-million dollar redevelopment of the Caltex Service Station in Campbell Town has been approved. This will provide important jobs for local people and will be a major boost to the business sector of Campbell Town.

A development application for a new fuel distribution outlet, including a franchised drive-through quick service restaurant has been approved by the Northern Midlands Council.

Relay for Life is the major fundraising event supported by both the Bonney Group and its employees. Employees raise funds throughout the year by various fundraising activities, with the year culminating in the 24 hour walk at the Penguin Sports Complex. The Bonney Group matches each dollar raised by employees and to date the total contribution towards Relay for Life exceeds $38,000.

Chairman's Report

The financial year just finished posed business challenges the like of which none of us have had experience in confronting.

Caltas has recently had great pleasure in donating three new competition paddle boards to the Port Sorell Surf Life Saving Club.

This new equipment will allow junior competitors to train and compete in surf carnivals enhancing their water safety skills which will help in their continual development towards their bronze medallion in surf life saving.

Employees of the Byron Bonney Group once again participated in the Relay for Life to raise vital funds for cancer research and services. The "Caltas Pumpers" managed to continually stay on the track for the entire event which included walking throughout the night carrying their trusty baton in the form of a decorated oil bottle.

Fundraising throughout the year was conducted via casual clothes days, snack bar sales, raffles and donations with a total amount raised of $2,500.

The Byron Bonney Group jointly contributed $4,368 towards the Victorian Bush Fire Appeal in March 2009. Employee's were very generous in their contributions by way of fundraising and donations.

The devastation caused by the Victorian Bush Fires touched all of us and we sincerely hope our small contibution helps to rebuild the communities that were lost.

Caltas has recently signed a commitment to support and abide by the principles of the new Tasmanian Heavy Vehicle Safety Code, launched by Minister Sturges on December 10.
