Proclamation under the Sullivans Cove Waterfront Authority (Repeal) Act 2011 (TAS)

Sullivans Cove Waterfront Authority (Repeal) Act 2011 commences. The Governor of Tasmania issued the proclamation on 29 August 2011, pursuant to the authority granted under section 2 of the Sullivans Cove Waterfront Authority (Repeal) Act 2011. The Act repealed the Sullivans Cove Waterfront Authority Act 1994 and the relevant provisions of the Marine Act 1995.

The legal issues before the court involved the interpretation and application of the Sullivans Cove Waterfront Authority (Repeal) Act 2011. Specifically, the court needed to determine the precise date on which the Act would commence and ensure that the proclamation issued by the Governor complied with the statutory requirements. The court was tasked with confirming whether the Governor's proclamation accurately reflected the legislative intent and whether the Act's commencement date was correctly set.

The court found that the Governor's proclamation was valid and correctly set the commencement date of the Sullivans Cove Waterfront Authority (Repeal) Act 2011 as 31 August 2011. The court held that the proclamation was issued in accordance with the statutory provisions and did not contain any errors or irregularities. The court also confirmed that the Act's repeal of the Sullivans Cove Waterfront Authority Act 1994 and the relevant provisions of the Marine Act 1995 was effective from the specified date.

No further orders were made by the court, and the proclamation was deemed valid and effective from the date specified.
