Here is something else to think about

CASA Instrument 278/97 3.3.1 Conflicting Traffic
The pilot in command of a private parachute aircraft must not allow parachutists to exit the aircraft if he or she is notified, or becomes aware, that there is conflicting traffic in the airspace in which the descents will be conducted.

The APF Descent Definition
A parachute descent, being the time from when the parachutist exits the aircraft until the parachutist lands.

My Interpretation
If the drop zone is located on an airport and the pilot in command of the parachute aircraft is notified or becomes aware there is an aircraft in the circuit pattern or between the exit point and the drop zone he must not allow parachutists exit the aircraft.

The Barwon Heads Airport drop zones are within 100 meters from both the N/S and the E/W runways and even closer to the taxiway therefore any aircraft in the circuit area would be CONFLICTING TRAFFIC.

By the way I would watch my step if I were you I think Cinders fancies YOU
