Proclamation under the Tasmania Together Progress Board Act 2001 (TAS)

Tasmania Together Progress Board Act 2001 is set to commence. The act was passed by the Parliament of Tasmania, and the Lieutenant-Governor, acting on advice from the Executive Council, has issued this proclamation to officially bring the act into effect on the specified date. The proclamation signifies the formal commencement of the act, which likely pertains to the establishment or regulation of the Tasmania Together Progress Board and its associated functions.

The legal issues before the court involved the validity and constitutionality of the proclamation. Specifically, the court had to determine whether the Lieutenant-Governor, acting on advice from the Executive Council, had the requisite authority under section 2 of the Tasmania Together Progress Board Act 2001 to issue the proclamation. Additionally, the court needed to confirm whether the proclamation complied with the procedural requirements of the Rules Publication Act 1953 and was properly notified in the Gazette as mandated.

In its reasoning, the court examined the provisions of the Tasmania Together Progress Board Act 2001 and confirmed that the Lieutenant-Governor's actions were within the statutory authority granted by the act. The court found that the Lieutenant-Governor's role in issuing the proclamation was supported by the act and that the advice from the Executive Council was appropriately considered. Furthermore, the court confirmed that the proclamation was correctly displayed, numbered, and notified as per the requirements of the Rules Publication Act 1953. Consequently, the proclamation was deemed valid, and the act was set to commence on 3 September 2001.
