  • 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 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.

The Deputy Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country Visitors VISITORS The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I extend a warm welcome to my guests Uday Huja, Jason Alcock, Dany Karam, Christopher Smith and Buddika Gunawardana, who are chefs from The Star visiting the Parliament today. [Notices of motions given.] Private Members' Statements TRIBUTE TO SUPERINTENDENT JULIAN GRIFFITHS Ms ELENI PETINOS (Miranda) (12:13): I rise to discuss and farewell the outgoing commander from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command, Superintendent Julian Griffiths. Our local media has publicised that Superintendent Griffiths has been moved from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command into the St George Police Area Command. Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with the superintendent, and to know him well, are going to miss him dearly. Media reports have not captured that Superintendent Griffiths is a capable and competent commander who has always been dedicated to serving the local community. He has done that in his capacity as a superintendent of both the Sutherland Shire Local Area Command and the merged Sutherland Shire Police Area Command over the past six years. I was recently told a story about Superintendent Griffiths which highlights the depth of his care and the lengths that he has gone to for the community. It is about the recent fires in the western part of the shire, in Menai, Alfords Point and Barden Ridge.

  • Regional Development and Decentralisation Committee Inquiry
    Regional Development and Decentralisation Committee Inquiry into Regional Development and Decentralisation Department of Defence Written Submission September 2017 Executive Summary 1. Defence has a significant presence in regional Australia and contributes to the socio- economic fabric of these communities. For the purpose of this submission the term ‘regional’ is defined as any area outside of the main metropolitan areas of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra. 2. The location of Defence personnel, bases and facilities is driven by strategic priorities underpinned by the 2016 Defence White Paper, the 2016 Defence Integrated Investment Program (IIP) and the Defence Estate Strategy. The IIP was developed through a comprehensive Force Structure Review that assessed Defence’s capability needs and priorities to determine Defence’s future presence, comprising: location, equipment, information and communications technology, infrastructure and workforce requirements. 3. Defence has an integrated workforce, including permanent Australian Defence Force (ADF) members, Reservists, Australian Public Service (APS) employees, contractors and other service providers who work together to deliver Defence capability. The quality of the workforce is the foundation of Defence’s capability, effectiveness and reputation.

NSWNOW_Defence_ART.indd 2 1/10/13 5:50 PM The State of New South Wales (NSW) offers Australia’s largest and most diverse economy and national leadership in manufacturing, logistics, electronics, ICT, business services and other areas relevant to Australia’s defence needs. All of the major prime defence contractors operate in NSW as they are supported by a strong small to medium enterprise (SME) base, with diverse capabilities supporting maritime, land and air domains. NSW is home to a significant number of Priority Industry Capabilities (PICS) such as the only Navy-suitable dry dock on Australia’s east coast at Garden Island and Strategic Industry Capabilities (SICS) which provide Australia with enhanced Defence self- reliance, ADF operational capability or longer term procurement certainty. The NSW Government and the State’s defence industry are bolstered by a large group of collaborative industry associations that are willing and motivated to support efforts to promote the industry. The coming together of nine different industry organisations with an interest in Defence as the NSW Joint Defence Industry Organisations (JDIO) signifies their shared belief that the defence industry located in NSW is critical to the nation’s Defence effort.
