The administrator of Jenolan Caves, Bob Conroy, who reports to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, said the government "has not yet made a decision about the future leasing or licensing of services".In 2012, then-environment minister Robyn Parker announced an expression of interest process for private operators looking to manage services in the visitor use zone, which included running caves tours and operating historic Caves House. Ms Parker blamed Jenolan's financial woes for the plan and said privatisation would "give this fantastic destination the best chance of a bright future".The Office of Environment and Heritage would not provide comment as to how many applications it had received since 2012, but if the site goes out to tender again, financial difficulties can no longer be blamed. According to the most recently published annual report, Jenolan Caves is now running at a profit. A caves guide who worked at Jenolan Caves for seven years, and, who did not want to be identified, told The Sun-Herald he resigned last week after being evicted from staff accommodation, along with 14 other guides."

In February we received a letter saying your leases expire on March 1 and that was that," he said.The guide said there was no clear explanation to staff as to why leases were being terminated. Staff have been forced to relocate to Oberon, Katoomba and, in this guide's case, Sydney, and the travel time and costs have become prohibitive for several workers. The guide said he knows of three others who have resigned recently and several who are considering resigning.  While guides have been evicted, management have apparently been allowed to continue living on site. "There's an atmosphere of fear and powerlessness ... you're just expecting the next terrible thing to happen," the guide said.He said that about 15 casual guides were let go early last year, and in October, remaining casuals were invited to apply for nine new permanent full-time positions. According to the guide, fewer than half the positions were offered to current staff."The number of people who may be forced to leave over this – the combined experience of those people would be centuries and that's a huge sum of knowledge that's just not going to be there," he said.

The guide said "penny-pinching" strategies had been attempted, such as a month-long trial of rest breaks being cut to 15 minutes from half an hour."You'd get out of one tour and rush to the next one, no drink, no toilet, people were tired, stressed and one guide had a medical incident in a cave ... she collapsed and the ambulance was called in."A spokeswoman for the OEH said no cave guides were made redundant last year and any staff member who becomes sick at work is supported."Staff requested a review of the downtime between tours as they were considered too long. The trust is now reviewing rosters in conjunction with staff and Public Service Association. This is still under way."Bob Conroy, administrator of Jenolan Caves, said it would be inappropriate to comment publicly on staffing matters other than to say that the trust is implementing reforms consistent with the appropriate laws. Bruce Welch, chairman of the Jenolan Environment Protection Committee, is unhappy with a lack of communication between management, staff and stakeholders."

There's no plan, there's no consultation, ad hoc decisions are being made," Mr Welch said.Those interviewed by The Sun-Herald reported staff had been made to sign confidentiality agreements and were under instruction not to talk to media.Keir Vaughan-Taylor, conservation officer at the Australian Speleological Federation, said he was also puzzled by recent changes to staffing arrangements. "The guides have been told they can no longer give long commentaries (during cave tours), to move people in and out," he said.Mr Vaughan-Taylor wants a site management plan, which has been delayed, urgently adopted and said he has become concerned over what he describes as "blunders" in the caves. "Nettle Cave, famous for its world-class stromatolites, is now nicknamed Metal Cave, because they cut a swathe through the stromatolites to put in a metal bridge," he said.He is strongly opposed to privatisation, saying:  "The government should bite the bullet and recognise that Jenolan Caves belongs to the Australian people".
