RMA The Australian Volunteer Coast Guard (AVCG) confirmed today its commitment to work co-operatively with the Queensland Government to merge Queensland’s various marine search and rescue organisations into a single service. But AVCG National Commodore Mr Terry Langford said the group’s support was in-principle only, given the state government had not yet released any implementation details. “Once the government produces its implementation plan, the AVCG board will review it in detail and provide a formal response,” he said. “The consultation process has been going on since February 2019 on the Blue Water Review and an interim Working Group (BWIWG) was formed in March this year. We now need a set of milestones on the draft concept of operations so all parties can chart the way forward for the single integrated service.”
