Kirki – 1991 Arrangements for Maritime Environmental Emergencies National Arrangements “The National Plan for Maritime Environmental Emergencies (the National Plan) implements Australia’s obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982; the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, response and coo- operations, 1990; and the Protocol on Preparedness, response and Co-operation to Pollution Incidents by Hazardous and Noxious Substances, 2000” (the National Plan 2014) Sets out national arrangements, policies and principles for the management of maritime environmental emergencies. Principles: • Protect the community, environment and maritime industries • Give effect to relevant international conventions • Integrate with the Australian Emergency Management Arrangements • Provide a comprehensive management arrangement • Provide a single integrated response arrangement • Implement a approach • Implement the polluter pays principles • Provide for stakeholder engagement 2002 Inter-Governmental Agreement on the National Plan to Combat Pollution of the Sea by Oil and other Noxious and Hazardous Substances (IGA) https://www.amsa.gov.au/environment/ State Arrangements • WA is signatory to the IGA • WAPrimary Emergency Management headline Act 2005 • WA Emergency Management Regulations 2006

• Define the roles and responsibilities for the prevention of, preparation for, response to and recovery from MOP emergencies (PPRR) • Integrate with the National Plan, WestPlan-HAZMAT, WestPlan-MTE, WA DoT OSCP and other OSCP/OPEPs with responsibilities in State waters • Defines State waters as they apply to MOP emergencies

Oil Spill Contingency Plans (Oil Pollution Emergency Plans) Contingency plans set out arrangements to response to MOP emergencies. All Port, Port Operator, Port Facility Operators and Petroleum titleholders have a responsibility to formulate, review and exercise response plans.

DoT OSRC ChristmasDoT Island OSRC 2012 2012 Oil Spill Response Atlas (OSRA) & WMA • The Western Australian Oil Spill Response Atlas (OSRA) is a spatial database of environmental, logisticalPrimary and oil spill headlineresponse data • Displays datasets collated from a range of custodians allowing decision makers to visualise environmental sensitivities and response considerations in a selected location • Oil spill trajectory modelling (OSTM)can be overlaid to assist in determining protection priorities, establishing suitable response strategies and identifying available resources for both contingency and incident planning

The OSRA Web Map Application (WMA) allows the layers found in OSRA to be viewed via a secure portal from the DoT website and provides basic functional tools Western Australia Oil Spill Marine Oil Pollution Waste Management GuidelinesClick to edit Master title style Coordinated Approach
