Annual Reports (Departments)

Amendment Regulation 2003

under the

Annual Reports (Departments) Act 1985

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Annual Reports (Departments) Act 1985.

MICHAEL EGAN, M.L.C.,

Treasurer

Explanatory note
Clause 5 (e) of the Annual Reports (Departments) Regulation 2000 provides that the annual report of a Department must show the number of copies printed of the annual report and the average cost of producing each copy, if known, or if not, the estimated average cost of producing each copy, based on the external costs (such as fees for consultants or printing costs) incurred in the production of the report.
The object of this Regulation is to amend the Annual Reports (Departments) Regulation 2000 to remove the requirement set out in clause 5 (e) of that Regulation and instead provide that the annual report of a Department must show:

(a)	the total external costs (such as fees for consultants and printing costs) incurred in the production of the report, and
(b)	whether the report is available in non-printed formats (such as on the Internet or on CD ROM), and
(c)	if the report is available on the Internet, the Internet address at which the report may be accessed.

This Regulation is made under the Annual Reports (Departments) Act 1985, including section 9 (1) (d) and section 20 (the general regulation-making power).
