REC177-3366

The National Plan should be reviewed:
a. to ensure that it adequately addresses the risks associated with offshore oil and gas exploration;
b. to revisit the underlying risk assessment undertaken to inform capacity and preparedness under the National Plan;
c. to ensure that response operations can be coordinated effectively with state and territory arrangements where a response requires operations across Commonwealth and state or territory borders; and
d. to explore the state of readiness of equipment and resources in the context of the future expansion of the petroleum industry. This should be undertaken by AMSA in consultation with AMOSC.
