Proclamation under the Gas Pipelines Act 2000 (TAS)

Gas Pipelines Act 2000 commences. The parties involved in this proclamation were the Governor of Tasmania, acting on advice from the Executive Council, and the Minister for Infrastructure, Energy and Resources. The nature of the dispute was the proclamation of the commencement date of the Gas Pipelines Act 2000 in Tasmania. The court was not involved in this matter, as it was a legislative act rather than a judicial decision.

The legal issue at hand was the formal proclamation of the commencement date of the Gas Pipelines Act 2000 in Tasmania. The court was not directly involved in this matter, as it was a legislative proclamation rather than a judicial decision. The proclamation was made under the authority granted by section 2 of the Gas Pipelines Act 2000.

The reasoning behind the proclamation was to establish the effective date for the Gas Pipelines Act 2000 in Tasmania. By fixing 8 March 2001 as the commencement date, the Governor and the Executive Council ensured that the provisions of the Act would take effect on that date. The proclamation was made in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953 and was displayed and numbered accordingly. The proclamation was also notified in the Gazette on 7 March 2001, providing public notice of the commencement date. The Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources administered the proclamation.

As a result of the proclamation, the Gas Pipelines Act 2000 commenced on 8 March 2001 in Tasmania. This allowed for the regulation and oversight of gas pipelines within the state, as outlined in the Act. The proclamation itself did not contain any specific orders, but it set the stage for the implementation of the Act's provisions.
