Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I have a list of the CMPA’s Voting Members and their contact details?
Due to our consideration of the privacy of our Voting Members, we are unable to supply a full listing of our Voting Members. However, once you become a fully financial CMPA Member, we can provide you with an abridged listing of our Voting Members and their contact details who have specifically permitted the CMPA to forward their details onto the Associate Members. This listing is updated annually.
If I can’t have a listing of all the CMPA Voting Members how do I access them?
Voting Members can be accessed through a variety of avenues including:
- Networking with owners of companies
- Inclusion of a free, full page listing for every Associate Member of their contact details and goods and services provided in the annually produced CMPA Preferred Suppliers & General Information Reference Manual. This manual contains all preferred suppliers (Associate Members) and acts as a reference for our Voting Members when purchasing goods and services
- Writing educational articles for Sand & Stone Magazine which is distributed to 1000 people within the Victorian extractive industry every two months
- Advertising in Sand & Stone Magazine and/or a variety of other CMPA documents
- Having a flyer sent out in Sand & Stone Magazine mail out
- Additional advertising in the CMPA Preferred Suppliers & General Information Reference Manual
- Sponsorship of CMPA Workshops and OHS Support Documentation developed as a result of these Workshops
- Hosting a General Meeting (consists of a seminar/presentation by the host company and followed by a CMPA General Meeting)
- Hosting seminars or presentations for Voting Members on a specific area of specialty, with such an activity being thoroughly advertised by the CMPA
- Sponsorship, signage and attendance at the Annual General Meeting & Dinner
- Strengthening industry through developing training materials for a unit of the Certificate II or III in Extractive Industries Training Package (with the CMPA)
Whilst some of these marketing avenues such as advertising in the newsletter etc. are an additional cost on top of membership, Associate Membership fees are significantly lower than Voting Membership fees to accommodate for these extra costs.
Please refer to the Associate Marketing – What Do I Get? for a summary of all marketing opportunities. A detailed explanation of all of these opportunities is available from the CMPA.
Can I attend CMPA meetings?
Associate Members are welcome to attend both Management Committee and Associate Committee meetings. Annual and General Meetings also welcome the attendance of Associate Members, however the number of attendees from each company will be limited in relation to the number of Voting Members attending.
How do I know which fee level I am?
Associate Membership fee levels range on a scale of 1 – 4 and directly relate to the company’s annual turnover generated only from Victorian construction material processing businesses.
Please ‘Contact Us’ with an estimate of this turnover and we will respond with a membership proposal.
Eg. Fred Blogg’s turnover in the industry Australia wide is $6,000,000 of which $450,000 comes from Victoria. Therefore, Fred Bloggs would be a CMPA Member at Level 2.
