44B Action plans
(1) If: (a) a capability review of an Agency is undertaken under subsection 44A(1) or (3); and (b) a written report of the review is given to the Agency Head of the Agency under subparagraph 44A(4)(c)(ii); then the Agency Head must, within 90 days after the report is given to the Agency Head: (c) prepare a written action plan that includes the Agency Head’s response to the findings included in the report; and (d) publish the action plan on an Agency website. (2) However, the person who caused the capability review into the Agency to be undertaken may, by writing: (a) authorise the Agency Head to remove specified material from the copy of the action plan that is published; or (b) exempt the Agency Head from publishing the action plan; if publishing the material or the action plan (as the case may be) would, or could reasonably be expected to, damage: (c) the security of the Commonwealth; or (d) the defence of the Commonwealth; or (e) the international relations of the Commonwealth.
