The ASSR Review referred to in post 1181 came up with this as one of its recommendations
"The Civil Aviation Safety Authority changes its regulatory philosophy and, together with industry, builds an effective collaborative relationship on a foundation of mutual understanding and respect"
CASA responded: "
Agreed The Government’s new Statement of Expectations (SOE) for the CASA Board will require CASA to develop a clear statement of regulatory philosophy. As part of its quarterly reporting to the Minister on its performance against its Corporate Plan, CASA will report on its performance against the new SOE and the recommendations agreed to by the Government arising out of this Report, including implementation of its regulatory philosophy, and associated compliance and enforcement policies. The CASA Director of Aviation Safety will be expected to report regularly to the Board on compliance with the new regulatory policy."
On July 31st CASA advised on updates to this implementation of its Regulatory Philosophy
Completed – Implementation Ongoing The tasks required by the Government response, such as issuing of a new SOE, have been completed. CASA’s Regulatory Philosophy was published on 15 September 2015. The SOE issued to the CASA Board in March 2017 requires that CASA implement its regulatory philosophy with the philosophy being reflected in relevant policies, procedures, manuals and where CASA personnel are carrying out their day-to-day operations.
