Tabling of the statement for the report of the Senate Standing Committee on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport into CASA. The committee found that the CASA Regulatory Reform Program's (RRP) implementation had been deferred and delayed over past years and required conclusion as quickly as possible. With restructure, CASA had experienced a significant turn over in staff with a loss of technical expertise. The committee received a range of submissions in relation to CASA's move to become a partner with industry, rather than continuing with a more traditional regulatory approach.
