Gosh. So if, for example, the traffic levels at an already-busy aerodrome in Class G quadrupled, CASA OAR will just sit and wait for 'someone else' to submit an ACP?
From what I've seen in their airspace reviews (if they conduct one), they will "recommend" a party "should" do something they say and submit an ACP (for airspace usually Airservices or Defence as appropriate), or I guess direct an AD OPR if a CA/GRS is required to be put in place.
Example Avalon:
Recommendation 1
Airservices Australia should review the airspace design at Avalon and submit an Airspace Change Proposal (ACP) within 12 months to remove the Class E airspace and replace it with Class D or Class C airspace as appropriate, to optimise and enhance the level of air traffic services provided at Avalon
