Gary spent several days in Devonport recently, which he found very useful. 2 Launceston (Peter Holmes) Launceston Airport have had significant staffing changes which include engaging Ilya Brucksch‐ Domanski as Planning and Development Manager.

During recent fires on the North West Coast the airport was a fire base for 6 weeks. Burnie/Wynyard (Rod Sullivan) Burnie have gone live with an ATO refresher training course, identifying core competencies. Completion of this course conferring an upgrade to Cert 3. Airservices Australia Update (Kent Quigley) Airservices Australia has confirmed reduction of 20 percent of its staff. Safety of the nation’s passenger aircraft would not be compromised by the staff reductions as a “detailed and rigorous assessment” was conducted on each individual redundancy to determine any potential impact on the safety of Airservices Australia traffic controller or aviation rescue fire‐fighting operations. Airservices Australia has quarantined the frontline service delivery staff from these changes. The reduction in employees form part of Airservices Australia 12‐month transformation program called “Accelerate”, which will reduce 15 percent of its costs or about $150m and make the organisation more efficient. Accelerate hopes to achieve a simpler operating model, better management of assets and delivery of projects, reduced paperwork and process and better use of systems. Changes are not just about refocusing the operating model but it’s also about reviewing projects and asset management to make sure they are as efficient as it possibly can be. Airservices Australia has recorded a loss – it’s first in two decades of more than $10m for the 2015‐2016 year. 3 Airservices Australia assets and projects refocus is a significant area for improvement. Assets and projects are at the core of how Airservices Australia deliver existing and new services to industry but they can contribute significantly to Airservices Australia costs. Airservices Australia may elect not to operate their own towers under a new operating model. 5. Disability Access Facilitation Plans (Paul Hodgen) An review was provided on the activity underway in the current update of the of the Launceston Airport Disability Access Facilitation Plan (DAFP), including references used and consultation engaged in, together with facilitation improvements implemented at the airport and on its website. The plan is at the desktop publishing stage and will be published in around 3‐4 weeks. 6. Armed Offender Training, Active Armed Aggressor (Peter Holmes) In the context of the recent international attacks at Zavantem (Brussels) and Ataturk (Turkey) International Airports, Peter Holmes (Launceston Airport) provided a brief overview of recent examples followed by the measures that Australia Pacific Airports Launceston (APAL) have implemented. Key areas discussed included: Recent international incidents. APAL focus including preventative security measures and awareness training. Key areas of vulnerability in particular in generally unregulated areas that may be open an accessible. Use of vehicles as a weapon, citing the recent incident in Nice, France and what APAL has in place to control traffic (traffic calming measures) including the segregation of commercial and private vehicle lanes and reduced dwell time at front of house to manage risk. The APAL localised response including risk analysis undertaken and the existing threat level at APAL. Next steps including TasPol direction on training and strategic and tactical managements for airport employees and tenants. 7. Aerodrome Technical Inspection Outcomes (Tom Griffiths) Tom Griffiths (Airports Plus) provide an overview of the annual technical inspection (ATI) process with a key message being that a thorough ATI process is essential. Noting in particular that ATI’s should consist of: Measure safety of the airside facilities and OLS Should show trends on the condition of facilities to allow for budget planning Pavement and drainage OLS survey Airside electrical testing Specific facilities that are important to the safety of aircraft operations; and Check implementation of the procedures in the Airport Manual, including Wildlife Management,
