    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.

    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE SUBMISSION TO WA EPA’S PUBLIC CONSULTATION IN RELATION TO STRATEGIC ADVICE ON CUMULATIVE IMPACTS IN EXMOUTH GULF Defence Submission to the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority’s Strategic Advice on Cumulative Impacts in Exmouth Gulf study Part A - Introduction Defence Context 1. Defence’s primary role is to protect and advance Australia’s strategic interests through the promotion of security and stability, provision of military capabilities to defend Australia and its national interests, and provision of support to the Australian community and civilian authorities as directed by Government. 2. The 2016 Defence White Paper, and the 2020 Defence Strategic Update affirmed the importance of effective environmental management to the success of the Defence mission. In order to defend Australia and its interests, the Australian Defence Force must have access to high quality facilities and training areas, and this means Defence activities and the Defence estate must be managed in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner. 3. Defence is the largest Commonwealth landholder and one of the largest overall landholders in Australia. The Defence estate comprises around 700 owned and leased properties over approximately 2.5 million hectares of land, covering all states and territories in Australia. The estate includes bases, training areas and ranges, research facilities and office accommodation across a diverse range of air, land and sea environments. 4. In addition to managing a large land estate, Defence is responsible for national security over one of the largest maritime estates in the world and in discharging these duties, trains and operates over large spans of ocean and airspace.
