NATIONAL NAVAL SHIPBUILDING ENTERPRISE


> IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ON SUBMARINES
> 
> On 16 September 2021, the Government announced an enhanced trilateral security
> partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States
> (AUKUS). The first initiative under AUKUS will be to seek an optimal pathway
> for the acquisition of at least eight nuclear-powered submarines for the Royal
> Australian Navy.
> 
> As a result of this decision, the Government has decided not to proceed with
> the Attack Class Submarine Program for the acquisition of 12 conventionally
> powered-submarines.
> 
> The Government has established the Nuclear-Powered Submarine Task Force to
> facilitate Australia’s role in AUKUS.

The Australian Government has announced a planned investment of between $168 and
$183 billion to establish a secure, sustainable, continuous, National Naval
Shipbuilding Enterprise, as laid out in the 2017 Naval Shipbuilding Plan, and
expanded under the 2020 Force Structure Plan.

As the largest capital investment ever undertaken in Australia, the National
Naval Shipbuilding Enterprise represents an entirely new direction in the way
Australia underpins its national security interests.

The Enterprise is about more than building ships, submarines and shipyards – it
will establish a long-term sustainable Australian naval shipbuilding and
sustainment capability that will generate industry growth and develop secure
Australian jobs for the future.

Modernisation of our naval force is a complex, national endeavour that requires
consistent, long-term planning, decision-making and commitment to the sustained
development of the naval shipbuilding industry, infrastructure and workforce. To
succeed and maximise broad benefits for Australia, an unprecedented and genuine
whole-of-nation, whole-of-industry and whole of-government coordinated approach
is required.

The Enterprise will need time to skill and grow the workforce and build a
competitive shipbuilding industrial base, in order to create the enduring naval
shipbuilding capability that is required.

Significant progress has been made in establishing the Enterprise since the
release of the Plan, including major decisions regarding our new naval
capabilities, establishing the Naval Shipbuilding College, and upgrading
the infrastructure of our shipyards.

Launched in April 2020, Plan Galileo sets the scene for naval sustainment
objectives through to 2025, with a focus on the development of Regional
Maintenance Centres in Sydney, Perth, Darwin and Cairns.

Achieving a National Naval Shipbuilding Enterprise is a long-term endeavour,
which will greatly benefit Australians for decades to come.
