    No. 32 Department of Defence

    Defence Submission to the Standing Committee on State Development Inquiry into Defence Industry in New South Wales Summary 1. Defence welcomes the New South Wales (NSW) Government’s and Parliament’s interest in strengthening local defence industry to support Australia’s defence and national security. With the release of the 2016 Defence White Paper, Integrated Investment Program, and Defence Industry Policy Statement on 25 February 2016 and the Naval Shipbuilding Plan on 16 May 2017, there is clear direction to implement a major renewal of Defence capability and with it a strengthening of Australia’s defence industry. The scale and long-term nature of Defence’s requirements, including in areas such as the continuous naval shipbuilding programs, require a national approach and partnership between Defence and State and Territory Governments. 2. Australia’s industrial base is a fundamental enabler of Australia’s military capabilities, and an integral element of the nation’s defence. Defence welcomes the announcement of the NSW Government’s Defence and Industry Strategy – Strong, Smart and Connected and the establishment of Defence NSW. Defence also welcomes increasing collaboration between NSW and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) in the defence sector. 3. Through new and expanded policies and programs, Defence is supporting Australia’s defence industry to develop the right technology, skills and capabilities to meet Defence’s current and future needs. There are considerable opportunities for local defence industry to contribute to Defence, with accompanying economic and community benefits. Ensuring that NSW businesses are aware of the opportunities and can leverage the support available from Defence and the broader Commonwealth is an important objective for collaboration between Defence, the NSW Government, and NSW industry.

  • Development in the Obstacle Limitation Surface

    Development in the Obstacle Limitation Surface

    Development in the Obstacle Limitation Surface Western Sydney Airport’s (WSA) protected airspace is known as the Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) and has been declared under the provisions of the Airports Act 1996 (Cth) and Airports (Protection of Airspace) Amendment Regulation 1996. The declaration of the OLS balances the need to ensure a safe operating environment for aircraft with the community’s need for clarity about development surrounding the airport. The OLS is designed to protect aircraft flying in visual conditions in close proximity to the WSA. The OLS defines a volume of airspace above a set of surfaces that are primarily modelled upon the layout and configuration of the confirmed Stage 1 and proposed long-term runways. Further technical information about the OLS is available at www.wsaco.com.au. How does the OLS affect me? The purpose of the OLS is to ensure that development within the OLS area is examined for its impact on future aircraft operations and that it is properly taken into account. The OLS will have no impact on you unless the development you plan on your property infringes on the airport’s protected airspace. You will need to be aware of the OLS if you are planning certain developments on your property. An online tool is available at www.wsaco.com.au where you can search your address to find out the height of the protected airspace above your property. Development that infringes on the airport’s protected airspace is called a controlled activity and can include, but is not limited to: permanent structures, such as buildings, intruding into the protected airspace; temporary structures such as cranes intruding into the protected airspace; or any activities causing intrusions into the protected airspace through glare from artificial light or reflected sunlight, air turbulence from stacks or vents, smoke, dust, steam or other gases or particulate matter.
