1. WELCOME FROM RALLY AUSTRALIA

1.1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Competitor,

I’m pleased to introduce this Rally Guide 1 for Kennards Hire Rally Australia 2019. The Guide reveals many changes for this year’s closing round of the FIA World Rally Championship – the 27th Australian WRC, incidentally.

Clerk of the Course Wayne Kenny and his organising team have listened to driver and fan feedback after 2018 and as a result the challenge for this year will be different from the first day to the last.

One important change is that the first competitive day will be Thursday, not Friday as in the past. We’ve brought forward the Destination New South Wales Super Special Stage from Friday-Saturday to Thursday-Friday, while Saturday evening has been reserved for some great fan entertainment at the Pedders Rally Central service park. You will also see in the details later in this Guide that the harbourside SSS layout has been substantially changed. This year, the stage will loop behind the hilltop Red-C Events building, adding a little distance, some fresh driver challenges and more excitement for spectators. There will be a holding area and tyre-warming area near the start control and the stop control will be closer, meaning the entire venue will be more compact and involving for fans. Thursday afternoon’s Rally Show and Ceremonial Start will be staged right outside the ticket gates to the SSS and we hope to attract many more spectators as a result. At Pedders Rally Central service park, we plan to have plenty of activations, entertainments and store outlets to bring in the crowds every day.

At this time last year, who would have thought the FIA World Rally Championship would end in such a dramatic three-way fight here on the Coffs Coast, on the last day of the last round of the series? Interest from around the world was enormous and unprecedented. And yet here we are again, with six rounds still to run, and Ott Tänak, Sébastien Ogier and Thierry Neuville are again holding us spellbound – and hopefully the fight again will continue to the last stage of the last day of the last round of 2019! The WRC continues to prove itself the most dramatic and unpredictable series in world motorsport. As competitors at any level, you’re all part of this magnificent show and we welcome you and wish you an exciting and memorable experience.

While you’re here for the rally, I hope you can find time during your visit to experience the magnificent Coffs Coast host region. It’s home to so many wondrous natural attractions, from rainforest to ocean, and abundant cultural experiences.


Finally, while the rally will be your focus, I hope you are able to take an opportunity during your visit to enjoy the magnificent Coffs Coast host region which is home to so many wondrous natural attractions, from rainforest to ocean, and abundant cultural experiences.

I look forward to welcoming you on 14-17 November.

Andrew Papadopolous Chairman - Rally Australia President, Confederation of Australian Motor Sport

1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT

Rally Australia has in place an environmental management system that has been recognised by the FIA at the highest level of accreditation. There are a number of important rules to follow when undertaking activities out on the course or in the Service Park.

Stormwater that flows to drains around the Service Park is not treated and discharges directly to the sea via Newport and Boambee Creeks. These creeks are popular for recreation and have significant environmental values. They are also in close proximity to the Coffs Harbour State Park and the Solitary Islands Marine Park. The Service Park on Stadium Drive is also located close to forest areas so koalas, wallabies, bandicoots, echidnas, snakes and other native animals unique to Australia may be encountered. Do not interfere or harass any native animals and take care when moving vehicles and equipment to avoid contact. While many snake species are harmless there is a strong probability that any snakes encountered may be venomous. Report snake sightings to the Service Park officials who will summon a trained snake catcher to remove the animal if required. Do not attempt to kill or move any native animals, and especially snakes, that you might encounter.

Teams are requested to take special care when undertaking maintenance and repair operations in the Service Park area to avoid spilling fuel, oils and other chemicals or discharging wastewater to the many drains installed around the service park. Where wastewater needs to be discharged it should be directed to the sewerage system.

Teams are to seek advice from Service Park officials who will confirm if the waste is appropriate to discharge and identify where the sewerage system access points are located.

Teams using high pressure cleaners, such as for wheel washing, must use their own wheel-wash bays, or those provided by Rally Australia, to ensure that seeds, soil and sediment are contained and not disposed of into the stormwater drains. Greywater from washing, kitchens and catering must also be contained for appropriate disposal – either to the sewerage system or by the pump out trucks that service the site.

3 RALLY GUIDE 1

Service Park officials can provide on-site advice on the location and scheduling of these services. ISO liquid containers are available to teams for containing wastewater. Ensure that your contact the Service Park Manager if you require these for your site.

Teams are requested to always use chemical-impervious ground sheets when performing maintenance or repairs on competition vehicles to prevent spills of oil, fuel, coolant and brake fluids from coming into contact with the service park tarmac.

Waste oils and hydraulic fluids should be disposed of to the drums in the orange plastic over-packs labelled “Waste Oil” which are located throughout the service park. Other hazardous material such as batteries, broken windscreen glass, oily rags, used clean-up absorbents, chemicals and any dirt collected from ground sheets or wheel washing should be bagged and disposed of in the service park hazardous waste bin. Service Park officials can direct teams to the location of this facility. When in doubt about what materials should be disposed of to hazardous waste seek guidance from the on-site Rally Australia service park officials, the Service Park Manager or the Rally Australia Environmental Operations teams.

Any incidents on the competition course where chemicals, oils or other materials have leaked or been lost (such as in an accident) will be attended to by one of Rally Australia’s mobile environmental incident response teams. These teams will have the necessary equipment to deal with any necessary clean up and/or disposal, or in the unlikely event of a serious spill incident will summon emergency services support.

As a safety precaution and to assist emergency responders, ensure that chemical containers have English-language labels which clearly identify their contents.

Australia has a range of strict environmental laws and regulations, many of which include significant penalties for serious breaches. If in any doubt about how these might apply to any aspect of your team’s operation contact Rally Australia’s Sustainability and Environment Manager, Colin Trinder, on +61 (0) 488 264 556 for advice.

27 RALLY GUIDE 1

14.9 DRIVING IN AUSTRALIA

All overseas visitors must carry their valid overseas civil drivers licence when driving in Australia. If the licence is not in English, an official English translation or an International Driving Permit must accompany the licence.

If the overseas licence is a licence to drive cars, then the holder may drive vehicles of the kind covered by a NSW Class C driver licence (up to 4.5 tonnes GVM and seating up to 12 adults, including the driver). If the overseas licence is a licence to drive heavy vehicles, then the holder may drive vehicles that are authorised by their overseas licence class.

In Australia all vehicles travel on the left side of the road.

The maximum speed limit in cities and towns varies between 40-60kmh. On country roads and main highways, the maximum speed limits are typically 100 or 110kmh, as signposted.

New South Wales uses many fixed speed cameras as well as mobile cameras and lasers to monitor speed. Each occupant of a vehicle must wear a seatbelt at all times.

The use of a hand-held mobile phone while driving is an offence in Australia and can result in a hefty fine.


14.10 AUSTRALIAN VISAS

All Australian visa requirements and forms can be obtained online at https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Trav

Temporary visitors from many countries can apply online (before you depart for Australia) for an e-Visa, which is supplied at no cost: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/651-

If not eligible for this e-Visa, team personnel are required to obtain either a Sporting or Business Visa in order to gain entry into Australia to compete in the event.

It is essential that your visa application is completed before you board your flight to Australia.
