I assume you aren't an industry association rep actually attending the Victorian RAPAC.
The OH&S issue you cite but don't elaborate on was that the YWE VOR was out of service due to ongoing vandalism by rifle fire, which was clearly a safety issue for attending technical personnel. In any case, because the navaid didn't form part of the backup navaid network and was scheduled for decommissioning in 2016 anyway, it was considered not worthwhile repairing so with RAPAC and CASA OAR agreement, it was decommissioned early.
There has not been any ongoing call for a plan by the Victorian RAPAC for retaining navaids for training purposes.
Mention has been made from time to time, but always conceded that no-one (e.g. none of the flying schools) was prepared to pay for any for their ongoing upkeep and end of life replacement, and that there are alternative navaids available although not necessarily quite so convenient.
