Proclamation under the Dangerous Goods Act 1998 (TAS)

Dangerous Goods Act 1998 of Tasmania will commence. The Act was passed by the Tasmanian Parliament and is designed to regulate the handling, transportation, and storage of dangerous goods within the state. The proclamation, issued by the Governor of Tasmania, is a formal declaration that the Act will come into effect on the specified date. The act is administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources.

The legal issues addressed in this proclamation primarily involve the formal commencement of the Dangerous Goods Act 1998 and the formal declaration by the Governor of Tasmania that the Act will be in effect from 1 January 1999. The proclamation ensures that the Act is legally enacted and operational from the specified date, providing a clear and binding framework for the regulation of dangerous goods in Tasmania.

The court's reasoning in this matter was straightforward, focusing on the formal declaration of the Act's commencement date. The proclamation was issued in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953, and it was duly notified in the Gazette on 23 December 1998. The proclamation was administered by the appropriate department, ensuring that the Act would be effectively enforced from the specified date. The legal validity of the proclamation was not contested, and it was issued by the Governor in accordance with the legislative authority granted under the Dangerous Goods Act 1998.

The final orders of this proclamation are that the Dangerous Goods Act 1998 of Tasmania will commence on 1 January 1999, and this fact is formally declared by the Governor in accordance with the legislative provisions. The Act is now in force, providing a legal framework for the regulation of dangerous goods within Tasmania, administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources.
