Proclamation under the Traffic Amendment (Red Light Cameras) Act 2001 (TAS)

The parties involved in this matter were the Governor in and over the State of Tasmania and the Minister for Infrastructure, Energy and Resources. The nature of the dispute was the formal commencement of the Traffic Amendment (Red Light Cameras) Act 2001 in Tasmania. The court was not directly involved in this matter as it related to an administrative proclamation under the Act.

The legal issue at hand was the validity of the proclamation made by the Governor under section 2 of the Act, fixing 1 December 2001 as the commencement date for the Act. The proclamation was made with the advice of the Executive Council and was to be administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources. The explanatory note clarifies that the note itself is not part of the proclamation.

The court, in this case, did not provide a detailed analysis or reasoning as it was not directly involved in the matter. However, the proclamation was made in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953 and was displayed and numbered appropriately. It was also notified in the Gazette on 21 November 2001. The proclamation was made by the Governor with the advice of the Executive Council, which is a standard procedure for such administrative actions.

The final orders in this matter were the proclamation itself, which fixed 1 December 2001 as the commencement date for the Traffic Amendment (Red Light Cameras) Act 2001 in Tasmania. The proclamation was made in accordance with the relevant legislation and was properly administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources.
