Airport insurance reviews
Through the airport lease and sale agreements, airport lessee companies have obligations to the Commonwealth in relation to maintaining a range of insurances. With a view to establishing more effective and appropriate insurance arrangements, the Department has appointed an insurance consultant to advise it on matters relating to the insurance requirements of the airport leases and the levels of cover held by airport lessee companies.

The renewal periods of insurance policies vary across airports. Therefore, the information reflected above may not necessarily reflect financial year outcomes.
For the purpose of this table, the period under review is July 2008-June 2009.
Environmental authorisations
The Department may authorise an airport to undertake an action that may result in environmental emissions limits being exceeded where the emissions will be no more damaging to the environment than if the limits were met.
Table I.3 Environmental authorisations
| Airport | AEO | Authorisation holder | Date approved | Period of validity | Nature of authorisation | Gazetted? (date/issue) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Timeliness of airport expenditure plans and audit reports
The sale agreements for 10 of the leased federal airports (Adelaide, Alice Springs, Brisbane, Canberra, Gold Coast, Darwin, Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne and Perth airports) included binding obligations for aeronautical infrastructure development to be completed during the first 10 years of privatised operation. This period has expired, with all the airports having discharged their obligations.
Approved major development plans
A major development plan is required for each 'major development' at an airport, as defined in s. 89 of the Airports Act 1996.
