30AA  Simplified outline of this Part

• •

  The responsible entity for one or more critical infrastructure assets must have, and comply with, a critical infrastructure risk management program (unless an exemption applies).

• •

  The purpose of a critical infrastructure risk management program is to do the following for each of those assets:

  • (a)

    identify each hazard where there is a material risk that the occurrence of the hazard could have a relevant impact on the asset;

  • (b)

    so far as it is reasonably practicable to do so—minimise or eliminate any material risk of such a hazard occurring;

  • (c)

    so far as it is reasonably practicable to do so—mitigate the relevant impact of such a hazard on the asset.

• •

  A responsible entity must give an annual report relating to its critical infrastructure risk management program. If the entity has a board, council or other governing body, the annual report must be approved by the board, council or other governing body.
