(1) The plan must describe measures for maintaining, in good condition and repair, relevant structures, equipment and property in relation to the relevant licence. (2) Without limiting subsection (1), the plan must: (a) describe measures for providing assurance that the relevant structures, equipment and property are fit for their function or use in normal operating conditions; and (b) describe measures for providing assurance that any of the relevant structures, equipment and property that are intended to function or be used in an emergency are fit for their function or use in emergency conditions; and (c) describe reasonable and appropriate measures for monitoring, maintaining and providing assurance of: (i) the ability of the relevant structures, equipment and property to perform their intended purpose; and (ii) the structural soundness, strength and stability of the relevant structures, equipment and property; and (iii) the mechanical integrity and systems integrity (including the integrity of electrical, hydraulic and other systems) of the relevant structures, equipment and property; and (d) set out arrangements and schedules for the inspection, testing, maintenance and repair of the relevant structures, equipment and property; and (e) identify any standards that are, or are to be, applied in relation to the operation, performance and infrastructure integrity of the relevant structures, equipment and property; and (f) describe measures for determining whether the standards (if any) mentioned in paragraph (e) are being met.

Note: The standards identified under paragraph (e) may be applied as in force or existing from time to time (see section 95).

(3) The plan must require the licence holder to: (a) implement the measures described in the plan under this section; and (b) carry out inspections, testing, maintenance and repair of the relevant structures, equipment and property in accordance with the arrangements and schedules mentioned in paragraph (2)(d). (4) The Regulator may only approve the plan if the Regulator is satisfied that the matters included in the plan under this section are reasonably likely to result in the relevant structures, equipment and property being maintained in good condition and repair.

Note: A significant change in the relevant structures, equipment or property may result in the plan needing to be revised (see paragraph 60(2)(b)).
