EXPLANATORY NOTE

The object of this Regulation is to amend the Impounding (Penalty Notice Offences) Regulation 1993 so as to prescribe the State Transit Authority as an impounding authority for the purposes of the Impounding Act 1993. This will enable the State Transit Authority to exercise the same powers with respect to abandoned property as are exercisable by other impounding authorities, such as the State Rail Authority and the Roads and Traffic Authority.

The Regulation also renames the Impounding (Penalty Notice Offences) Regulation I993 as the Impounding (General) Regulation 1993 to reflect the amendment referred to above.

This Regulation is made under the Impounding Act 1993, including section 51 (the general regulation making power) and the Dictionary to that Act.
