A NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure official submitted the 2023 Annual Monitoring Report for the ex-HMAS Adelaide artificial reef to DCCEEW's Sea Dumping Section in January 2024. The vessel was placed offshore of Avoca Beach under sea dumping permit SD2008/1062, originally granted in March 2010 for 50 years, with a permit variation approved in January 2019 that revised the Long Term Monitoring and Management Plan (LTMMP). The LTMMP establishes structural and environmental monitoring requirements for the decommissioned naval vessel functioning as an artificial dive reef. DCCEEW documented receipt of the annual monitoring report and noted ongoing compliance with the permit's annual reporting obligations, though the specific monitoring results and any environmental findings remain in attached documents.
