Who can change Civil Aviation Orders?

Civil Aviation Orders are regulatory instruments created and amended by the Australian regulator, not by international bodies or the parliament. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority has the authority under the Civil Aviation Act to make and update CAOs to reflect safety needs, technical developments, and implementation of standards. The other options don’t fit: the FAA is the U.S. agency and has no authority to change Australian CAOs; ICAO sets international standards but does not directly issue or amend CAOs for a specific country; Parliament can change the enabling law, which could alter CASA’s powers, but it doesn’t directly edit CAOs themselves. So the regulator responsible for changing Civil Aviation Orders is CASA.
