Proclamation under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Amendment (Streamlining of Process) Act 2014 (TAS)

The proclamation pertains to the commencement of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Amendment (Streamlining of Process) Act 2014 in Tasmania. The Governor in and over the State of Tasmania, acting on the advice of the Executive Council, issued the proclamation under section 2 of the Act. The proclaimed date for the Act's commencement is 1 January 2015. This decision follows the Act's publication in the Gazette on 24 December 2014.

The legal issues addressed in this proclamation relate to the timing of the Act's commencement. The proclamation was necessary to formally set the date on which the new legislative provisions would come into effect, ensuring that the streamlined processes for land use planning and approvals could be implemented as intended. The proclamation was issued in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953 and follows the standard procedure for notifying the public of legislative changes.

The court did not engage in a detailed examination of the legislative provisions or their implications, as the focus of the proclamation was purely administrative. The Governor's role was to fix the commencement date in a manner that complied with the legal requirements set out in the Act and to ensure that the public was duly notified. The proclamation was made on 16 December 2014 and was signed by the Governor and the Minister for Planning and Local Government, Peter Gutwein.

The proclamation is a formal notification that the Act will come into effect on 1 January 2015. This date was set in accordance with the legislative requirements and ensures that the streamlined processes for land use planning and approvals will be implemented as planned.
