The highly successful 11th International Oil Spill Conference - Spillcon 2007 was held at the Burswood Entertainment Complex in Perth from 26 to 30 March 2007. The theme for the conference was “ Global, Regional, Local ” which highlighted the many-tiered approaches used in Australia and around the world to prevent and respond to oil spills in the marine environment. A high calibre of speakers from Australia and around the world presented on issues such as managing the risk, community expectations, aerial surveillance and developing response capabilities. The keynote address was given by Australian of the Year for 2005, Fiona Wood AM. Her inspiring insight into her life, work and the importance of preparedness through exercising emergency arrangements set the scene for the rest of the Conference.
The On Water Display was held on Wednesday 28 March on the Swan River. AMSA and the WA Department for Planning and Infrastructure coordinated the display, which consisted of three components – an on water demonstration of the deployment of booms and skimmers; a static display of National Plan and State equipment; and an aerial display of a helicopter and fixed wing aircraft dispersant spraying operations and an overflight of AMSA's Perth based Dornier.
Planning has already commenced for Spillcon 2010 with Melbourne being the next city to host this conference.
