The outcomes of these deliberations determine the recommendations that the MAC will make to the AFMA Commission. Generally, MACs are made up of members from commercial industry, fisheries management, the scientific community, the recreational fishing sector, the environment/conservation sector and, in some instances, the state governments. A typical MAC consists of an independent chairperson, an AFMA member, a research member, a recreational fishing member, up to four industry members and an environment/conservation member. Each MAC has an executive officer responsible to the chairperson.

Inter-jurisdictional and international bodiesThe role of the Sustainable Diversion Limit Adjustment Assessment Committee (SDLAAC) is to assess and advise the Basin Officials Committee (BOC) on proposed measures which may provide an opportunity to adjust Sustainable Diversion Limits (SDL). These include supply measures such as works or changes in river operation and management rules which increase the quantity of water available to be taken for consumptive use; and efficiency measures through infrastructure works and upgrades which decrease the quantity of water required for consumptive uses. SDLAAC will also advise BOC on constraint measures which remove or ease constraints on the capacity to deliver environmental water, such as the raising of bridges and acquisition of easements. The Constraints Management Strategy (CMS), under the Basin Plan, will inform the Committee's assessment of constraint measures. The work of SDLAAC will be undertaken in three phases through to 2016, when it is expected to recommend a package of measures for potential SDL adjustment. BOC is responsible for choosing the final proposals to be included in this package.

It was seeded with an appropriation by Parliament of £100,000 from consolidated revenue. Until 2009 the SIEF investment priorities, as reflected in the Act, were to provide assistance to people engaged in scientific research and for the training of students in scientific research. Between 2009-2011 the SIEF was rejuvenated through gifts to the SIEF by CSIRO made possible from the proceeds of CSIRO's wireless local area network (WLAN) technology. The injection of these monies into the SIEF, together with 7 additional Gifts from CSIRO (2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024), made pursuant to a Deed of Gift (2009), provided the opportunity to extend the reach of the SIEF and diversify its support for a range of research activities which fall outside the mainstream and address present and future major challenges. Subsequent Gifts/Endowments have been made to SIEF from additional donors: NSW Government Deed of Endowment (2017)?

Secondary non-statutory structureF. Non-statutory advisory structureThe Forum on Western Sydney Airport (FOWSA) has been established to enable the views of the communities of Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains to be heard and taken into account in the planning and development of Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport. It will also provide the opportunity for industry, local government and other stakeholder groups to be informed and provide feedback on the opportunities and challenges presented by the introduction of a new major airport in the Sydney basin. A key objective of FOWSA is to promote informed and responsive engagement between community and stakeholder representatives and an Aviation Expert Steering Group on issues relating to airspace management and flight path options, noise abatement and other aircraft operating procedures, and potential noise and amenity impacts from aircraft overflights. This is the statutory role of FOWSA under the Airport Plan Conditions. FOWSA will also provide a mechanism for the Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities and WSA Co Limited to update residents affected by airport operations, local authorities, airport users and other interested parties on a range of issues relating to the broader planning and development of the airport and their associated impacts. This includes identifying and discussing local employment and business opportunities and seeking ways to ensure the expected benefits are maximised for Western Sydney and surrounding communities.OtherMinister / Airport Act 199610/04/201723NoMinisterialNoDepartment of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts111 Alinga StreetCanberra CityACT2601Australiahttp://www.westernsydneyairport.gov.au/forum/index.aspx B-003638Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the ArtsB.

In conjunction with the introduction of ADF Super, a new statutory death and invalidity scheme, to be known as ADF Cover, is being established to come into effect from 1 July 2016. The Superannuation Guarantee Act 1992 provides that, in order for employer superannuation contributions to satisfy the choice of fund requirements, the relevant fund to which the contributions are paid must comply with various prescribed requirements, one of which applies to insurance in respect of death. ADF Cover has been established to meet the requirement for death and invalidity cover for new members of the ADF. From 1 July 2016, ADF Super members will be covered under this statutory scheme, as will members who could have been ADF Super members but for choosing another fund into which the Department's employer contributions are to be paid. The reason for this is that it is difficult for ADF members to obtain death and invalidity cover at a reasonable cost under group insurance arrangements. There will be no contributions required for ADF Cover (either from Defence or those who are covered under the statutory scheme) as the benefits will be paid from the Consolidated Revenue under a specific appropriation. ADF Cover is designed to be consistent with the death and invalidity benefits provided under the current Military Superannuation and Benefits Scheme (MSBS).Act / RegulationAustralian Defence Force Cover Act 20151/07/20160http://www.defence.gov.au/dpe/pac/ADFCover.pdf B-000641DefenceB.
