Cancellation of a Non-Credible Contingency Event: Lindisfarne - Mornington No.1 TEE line and Lindisfarne - Mornington No.2 TEE line in TAS1 due to Lightning.
Cancellation of reclassification of a Non-Credible Contingency Event as a Credible Contingency Event due to Lightning. AEMO considers the simultaneous trip of the following circuits is no longer reasonably possible. There is no longer any lightning activity in the vicinity of the following lines. Accordingly its classification has reverted to a non-credible contingency event.

Update - Reclassification of a Non-Credible Contingency Event in Tasmania Region
Update - Reclassification of a Non-Credible Contingency Event in TAS Region:
Trip of any Tasmanian Transmission Line and Basslink Interconnector
Refer to AEMO Electricity market notices 47360, 47855 and 53957.
In Dec 2014 AEMO reclassified the loss of any transmission line in Tasmania and Basslink Interconnector to be a credible contingency event, for Basslink flow in the direction of Victoria to Tasmania only. This was subsequently updated to exclude faults on either of the two George Town to Pacific Aluminium 220 kV transmission lines or the George Town to Tamar Valley power station 220 kV transmission line in Jan 2015 and Jun 2016 respectively.
Following a power system event in Tasmania on 29/11/2020, and based on updated information from Market Participants, AEMO has further modified this reclassification.
AEMO will now reclassify the loss of any transmission line in Tasmania and Basslink Interconnector to be a credible contingency event, for Basslink flow in the direction of Victoria to Tasmania only.
As a consequence of this reclassification, AEMO will modify the frequency control ancillary service (FCAS) requirements for Tasmania to all require Contingency FCAS services to be sourced from within Tasmania, for Basslink flow in the direction of Victoria to Tasmania.
The following constraint equations will be updated for the above change at 1300hrs Wednesday 3rd March 2020:

Reduction in load relief in Tasmanian region - 3rd April 2021
Further to MN 80127 and 82552, on 3rd March at 1000hrs AEMO will reduce the load relief used to determine FCAS requirements from 0.5% to 0.4% for the Tasmanian region. This will increase the amount of contingency FCAS enabled by AEMO in the Tasmanian region.
This change is a part of AEMO's review of frequency in the NEM. The Tasmanian load relief will be slowly reduced by 0.1% on a four weekly basis. Details were provided to market participants in an industry teleconference on 4th December 2020. For more information refer to: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/ancillary-services/load-relief
There will be no change at this stage to the Mainland load relief.
The next change (to 0.3%) is planned for 31st March 2021.
