AVIATION SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
Aviation Security is governed by the Air Navigation Act 1920, Regulations, Instruments; the Crimes Acts 1976, 1989 and 1991; and the Airports
Act and Regulations 1996. These requirements are reflected in our Airport Security Program. The following general provisions apply to
contractors and businesses operating on Darwin International Airport.
Aviation Security Identification Cards (ASIC) - Every person including a driver who, because of work related requirement, needs to access
the restricted areas of the International Terminal Building or Security Restricted Area, is required to display an ASIC issued in their name on
their outer garment. ASICs are available on application from the Darwin International Airport. Visitors to restricted areas of the airport must
wear visitors passes and be accompanied by a person wearing an ASIC. Visitors’ passes are available from the Darwin International Airport.
The issuing of Visitor Passes may be delegated by the Authority to the organisation responsible for the contract to which this PERCOW refers.
Vehicles - Each vehicle requiring airside access must have approval from the Darwin International Airport and must display a clearly identifiable
company sign or logo on each side of the vehicle. Drivers must also be authorised by the Darwin International Airport and be familiar with the
contents of the Airside Vehicle Control Manual.
Searching of Vehicles - All vehicles inside the security restricted area are liable to search at any time without notice by an Authorised Officer.
Operational Safety - Vehicles approved to operate airside are restricted to the airside road and are not to enter or drive on aprons, taxiways or
runways unless approved.
Access - Every person approved by the Darwin International Airport to access restricted areas of the International Terminal Building or Security
Restricted Areas must ensure each door or gate accessed by them is closed and locked once entry is effected. When accessing vehicle gates,
drivers must stop and wait for the gate to close before moving off to prevent unauthorised access. Access to designated Prohibited or Security
Restricted Areas of the airport may be gained through vehicle gates and fence line buildings such as terminal buildings, hangars and cargo
sheds. It is the responsibility of the Lessee/Tenant to ensure that gate and building access points within their leased area or within the area for
which they are responsible are controlled and kept closed and locked when not in use.
Sterile Areas - Before entering an area signposted as a sterile area, every person must be screened for weapons. Goods carried by persons
entering a sterile area must be x-rayed or searched. Entrance to a sterile area can only be via the screening point. If the screening point is not
operating, approval must be sought from the Darwin International Airport’s Security Control Centre on each occasion entry to a sterile area is
required. Persons working airside must not mix with passengers in the aerobridges or on walkways. This is particularly important in respect of
international passengers.
Weapons -Firearms or weapons of any description are not to be taken onto airside areas or into sterile areas. Tradesmen’s tools requiring an
explosive charge as a part of their operation must be declared before commencement of any work.
Unattended Items - Under no circumstances may items such as toolboxes, baggage, lunchboxes or similar items be left unattended in any
public or airside area. Items secured in vehicles are excepted. Any unattended items of this nature are to be reported immediately to an
Authorised Officer or to the Security Control Centre on telephone 8920 1852.
Perimeter Fence Clearances - Objects of any description may not be placed closer than three (3) metres to a perimeter fence from any
landside area or closer than two (2) metres to a perimeter fence from any airside area.
Australian Customs Service - The Australian Customs Service have an overriding authority under the Customs Act to detain, search or arrest
any person reasonably suspected of carrying prohibited goods or committing any offence against the Customs Act irrespective of that person
holding an ASIC or being approved by the Darwin International Airport to work on the airport.
Animals (with the exception of guide dogs) are prohibited on the airport unless caged for freight purposes. In particular, contractors are not to
bring dogs onto the airport under any circumstances.
Directions of Authorised Officers - Directions issued by Darwin International Airport Authorised Officers are to be complied with immediately.
