3. WA CHAIR REPORT and UPDATE

WA Chair report and update by AAA WA Chair, Ms Jenny Kox.

Well what a year it has been. We thought we had had a tough couple of years dealing with the

1

MINUTES

Productivity Commission Inquiry, but then along came Coronavirus! Never could the impact on the aviation industry be predicted to have such far-reaching and long-term effects as COVID-19 has had. In addition, we are not out of the woods yet.

It has been a trying time for all, but be assured the Association has been strong in continuing to be the ‘voice of airports’ at a National level. It is focussing on advising the Government on the effect on airports, not only financially but also by the loss of experience due to the tough staff resourcing decisions most in our industry are making. COVID-19 has affected the whole of our industry and the AAA has been spreading the message of how the industry (and not just airports) is affected.

At a Board level, we have not been immune to change. We made the tough but necessary decision to cancel the 2020 National Conference, OpSwap and face-to-face regional meetings, recognising that companies wouldn’t have the money to spare to attend events, and who knew how long travel restrictions would be in place (although they have been a lot longer than we originally thought they might be).

The Board has not met face-to-face since the November Board meeting held at the 2019 National Conference on the Gold Coast prompting us to learn how to conduct business like the rest of the world, via teleconferencing and on-line meetings.

Simon steered the ship admirably during the initial COVID impacts, and James since joining in June has hit the ground running and is fighting the strong advocacy fight at Parliamentary level.

Sadly, a number of directors and alternates have been directly impacted by COVID reductions and have left the Board this year. However, with change comes new opportunities, and we welcome those who are coming onto the Board and the experience they bring.

However, the upside is that it has shown just how adaptable we are as an industry. The webinars being offered have been excellent and well attended. Free online training for members was also well utilised (member offer ends at the end of September) and has help keep airport workers current during those downtimes.

Now we see the new type of divisional meeting – a virtual meeting with a face-to-face option. This is an excellent outcome for our smaller members who never get to leave their patch and it has been great seeing them be able to join a meeting without the cost of travel and time to their Council/Company.

Part 139 MOS became ‘real’ in August, but thankfully there has been a small reprieve in having to have our new aerodrome manuals written. The Protect Regional Airports campaign was successful in securing funding assistance for essential infrastructure upgrades at regional airports.

And whilst we have not been able to meet face-to-face this year, the WA Division team consisting of our Deputy Chair Amol Vikar and Secretary Joanne Monaghan have been hard at work on preparing our ‘virtual meetings’ and at times reaching out to our members. I thank them and their respective companies for their hard work and support. Thanks also to Perth Airport in their support of me as the WA Director. In addition, of course none of this is possible without the AAA staff, and in particular, Sam Leighton and Erin Livingston – thanks ladies for all that you do.

Whilst times have been tough, please always remember we are here for you and please reach out if you 2

MINUTES need any assistance of any kind.

4. AAA CEO UPDATE

Mr James Goodwin, AAA CEO, provided an update on AAA activities, including;

• Policy and Advocacy Industry Recovery - The aviation industry is facing unprecedented challenges in the current COVID- 19 operating environment. The AAA and major airports are working closely with government on an industry ‘relief and recovery’ plan. The AAA is working with industry and government to ensure it is ready to support the airport sector’s recovery efforts in the year ahead. The Australian Government is consulting with industry on its tourism recovery strategy in the wake of COVID-19 and the 4

MINUTES

bushfires. Security and Border Processing - Changing security requirements and a new policy on border resources will be a significant focus this year. The AAA is supporting industry as it implements changing security requirements. The AAA is engaging with Government on a new policy for the provision of border services, which would significantly shift costs to airports. The AAA will continue to engage with Home Affairs on behalf of industry regarding the operating costs of security screening. CASA Review of Part 139 - The (new) MOS 139 in now in effect - The updated MOS 139 came into effect from 13 August 2020. The AAA continues to actively engage with CASA on behalf of industry to ensure no airport is left behind. The AAA will release new Airport Practice Notes and online education that reflect the MOS changes throughout the second half of 2020. AAA will host a webinar with CASA on 30 September focusing on MOS 139 post-implementation. Protect Regional Airports - On 13 June 2020, the Deputy Prime Minister announced $41.2 million in RAP funding for 61 airports for access and safety upgrade projects across Regional Australia. Ahead of the launch of Round 2 of RAP funding, the AAA has proposed a change to the co- contribution funding model to the Department of Infrastructure. PFAS Contamination - Legacy PFAS contamination issues remain an issue of significant concern for our members. The Department of Infrastructure is seeking a whole of government approach to develop reasonable, practicable and risk-based approaches to PFAS management. The AAA hosted a workshop for federally leased airports in 2019 to develop a more substantial and united airport policy position on this issue. The AAA will continue to advocate on behalf of airports for fair and equitable treatment on PFAS remediation and ongoing management.

• Industry Development A national industry network - Meetings, education and technical guides provide AAA members access to a national network to help build their industry knowledge: Airport Practice Notes - Airport Practice Notes (APNs) focus on technical and operational issues such as airfield pavements, lighting, wildlife hazards and emergency. Available free to members. The AAA will be releasing guidance material specifically for regional aerodromes as a companion document to the AS/NZL3000 –Electrical Standards. Webinars - The AAA webinar program has been developed to allow our members, particularly those in regional locations, to gain access to presentations on topics of interest to airports across Australia. The webinars are delivered in an easy format that members can access from their desktop or tablet. Available free to members. Meetings and Committees - division meetings held across Australia each year. A range of committees and working groups focused on specific industry issues, including Aerodrome Operations Safety, Wildlife Hazard Management, Young Airport Professionals, Women in Airports, Emergency Management and Customer Experience. Online Education - online interactive education courses offered, with a focus on safety and airside operations. In the past few months, the AAA has provided more than $250,000 worth of training at no cost to members. Streamlining Airport Processes - The AAA offers exclusive services to provide additional value for its members: Defence Payments - The AAA has an exclusive contract with the Department of Defence to process defence related landings at members’ airports.

Contact James Yatras [email protected]

Stu McGraw – Collins Aerospace Hi everyone. For those that do not know me, I am the regional manager for Collins Aerospace Airports portfolio for Australia and the Pacific. I am based out of Brisbane, so the last few months has been a lot of video conferencing for me. For those who have not worked with us recently, we are a vendor for airport common use and operational technology systems. Since the start of the year we have finalized our merger with Raytheon - this has cemented our financial stability as we make our way through the muddy waters of 2020. We have also accelerated development of many innovations that have been in the works. These include a fully contactless check in kiosk upgrade that uses the passenger mobile device as a remote interface, full spectrum health screening integrated into our biometrics platform, a cloud-based thin client 13

MINUTES

AODB system that includes an AI/predictive analytics engine to maximize resourcing efficiency, and off site check in systems that can help with terminal crowding. We also recognize that times are tough for all airports right now, and so we have developed a series of innovative commercial models for customers who may want to use this opportunity to upgrade systems while the terminal is quiet, to ensure PAX are comfortable as and when traffic starts to pick back up. I’m always happy to provide more information to airport partners. If you would like more details please reach out to me directly or via the AAA and I can set up a video call.

Brian Joiner – Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport Kalgoorlie-Boulder has been relatively sheltered from the effects of COVID-19 with airport passengers at approximately 70% of pre COVID-19 levels. Aircraft movements are at normal levels, with a move away from RPT travel to light aircraft charter. The Eastern Goldfields section of the RFDS is operating record numbers of flights, which is adding to the aircraft movement rise. Several projects are underway including installation of a body scanner, replacement of the CCTV system, replacement of multiple air conditioning units within the terminal and redesigning the apron layout to facilitate more and larger aircraft. Future projects include runway surface remediation for both runways and a possible extension to the existing terminal to increase space in the sterile area. During the period the airport team farewelled Darryl Tonkin 14

MINUTES on to a well-earned life in retirement, after almost 30 years as the airport manager at Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Darryl was a great supporter of the AAA (mainly through red wine revenue) and held positions on various committees.
