Terrorism Alert Level Raised

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has announced that Australia’s national terrorism public alert level has been raised to ‘high’.

The PM said that this was not based on any knowledge of a specific attack plan, but a body of evidence that points to an increased likelihood of a terrorist attack against Australia.

Owners and operators of places of mass gatherings (like shopping centres and office buildings) are “encouraged to review their security plans and update their contact details with their state or territory police counter-terrorism unit.”

The Property Council has been liaising with counter-terrorism agencies and will pass on any advice as we receive it.
