or serious damage to, property; and
(b) assesses the likely impact of those hazards and risks on the
port and the surrounding area; and
(c) specifies the measures and strategies to be implemented to
eliminate or reduce those hazards or risks; and
(d) describes the system that the port operator has in place for
implementing those measures and strategies, including the
issue and enforcement of any port notices; and
(e) sets out the processes proposed to involve tenants, licensees
and service providers in the port with the implementation of
the plan by the port operator; and
(f) sets out the procedures proposed for implementing, reviewing
and revising the plan; and
(g) is approved by the regional harbourmaster for the port under
section 31(1).
