The downturn in all aviation activity across Australia and internationally may have a significant impact on the analysis, outcomes and projections used in this report. It is noted that the downturn in aviation into Pilbara region has not been as significant as at aerodromes in the Eastern States due to the fly in fly out (FIFO) resource sector. The Airspace Act 20071 (Act)2 provides the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) with the authority to administer and regulate Australian-administered airspace and authorises CASA to undertake regular reviews of existing airspace arrangements.

This area is referred to as the Pilbara Region for the purpose of this review. The aim of the Pilbara Region review is to determine if the airspace remains fit for purpose.3 The review examined the airspace architecture, classifications, procedures and infrastructure from the surface up to Fight Level (FL) 180.

The Association is an independent, membership-based group representing and supporting the work and interests of 138 Local Governments in Western Australia. The Association provides an essential voice for over 1,200 elected members and approximately 15,000 Local Government employees as well as over 2.5 million constituents of Local Governments in Western Australia. The Association also provides professional advice and offers services that provide financial benefits to the Local Governments and the communities they serve.

For this reason, Local Governments and the Local Government Association value this Inquiry and the opportunity to provide a submission. As part of a range of considerations in relation to tourism, in March 2017 the WALGA State Council endorsed a policy to advocate that the State Government undertake measures to reduce the cost and improve the scheduling and routes of regional air services.
