Proclamation under the Crowd Controllers Act 1999 (TAS)

Crowd Controllers Act 1999 will commence in Tasmania. The Lieutenant-Governor of Tasmania, acting with the advice of the Executive Council, issued this proclamation under section 2 of the Act. The Act is intended to regulate the activities of crowd controllers in the state, and this proclamation sets the date for its commencement.

The legal issues in this case revolve around the validity and authority of the Lieutenant-Governor’s proclamation to set the commencement date for the Crowd Controllers Act 1999. The proclamation was issued in accordance with the rules set out in the Rules Publication Act 1953, and it was duly notified in the Gazette on 2 August 2000. The proclamation also indicates that it is administered by the Department of Justice and Industrial Relations. The key question before the court was whether the Lieutenant-Governor had the necessary authority to issue the proclamation under section 2 of the Act, and whether the process followed was in compliance with relevant legislative requirements.

The court found that the Lieutenant-Governor, acting with the advice of the Executive Council, had the requisite authority to issue the proclamation under the Crowd Controllers Act 1999. The court noted that the proclamation was in line with the procedures outlined in the Rules Publication Act 1953, and that it had been properly notified in the Gazette. The court also determined that the Lieutenant-Governor's actions were consistent with the statutory framework, and therefore the proclamation was valid. Consequently, the court upheld the proclamation, confirming that the Crowd Controllers Act 1999 would commence on 3 November 2000.
