Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Firearms Act 1996.

Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to make minor modifications to the amendments to the Firearms (General) Regulation 1997 that were published in the Gazette on 19 December 2003 as the Firearms (General) Amendment (Security Industry) Regulation 2003 (the amending Regulation) and are due to commence on 1 May 2004.
This Regulation:

(a)	modifies the requirement contained in clause 61B (inserted by the amending Regulation) that certain firearms be “secured individually on a locked device” within a safe so as to permit the firearms to be secured individually on or in a locked device within a safe, and
(b)	makes it clear that the prohibition in that clause on storing certain firearms “on premises that are used for a residential purpose” prevents the storage of those firearms in buildings and other structures (such as garages) on the same land as a building used for a residential purpose.

This Regulation is made under the Firearms Act 1996, including section 88 (the general regulation-making power).
