An Act to abolish certain statutory and other bodies, to repeal certain Acts and to amend certain other Acts and instruments in various respects and for the purpose of effecting statute law revision; and to make certain savings.

This Act is the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2000.

Each Act or regulation specified in Schedules 1–4 is amended as set out in those Schedules.

Section 90 (President may decline to entertain complaint) provides for the President of the Anti-Discrimination Board to decline to entertain a complaint in certain circumstances and for the complainant to be notified of the reasons for that decision.

Section 91 provides that the complainant may, within 21 days after the date of either such notification, require the President to refer the complaint to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal.

The proposed amendment makes it clear that Part 6 of the Community Land Development Act 1989 (which relates to the resumption of land within a community scheme, a precinct scheme or a neighbourhood scheme, or land within a strata scheme that is part of a community scheme) prevails over any inconsistent provision relating to compulsory acquisition in the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 or Part 12 of the Roads Act 1993.

Item [1] of the proposed amendments omits that reference to the Commercial Tribunal, which has been abolished.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments provides for the Administrative Decisions Tribunal to review a decision of the Director-General of the Department of Fair Trading not to give leave to a disqualified person. At present, an appeal lies to the Commercial Tribunal.

Items [3]–[5] of the proposed amendments make consequential amendments.

Omit “adducing oral evidence” from section 48 (4) (b).

Item [1] of the proposed amendments will enable a party to give evidence of the contents of a document that is not available to it by adducing evidence from a witness in oral or written form.

Items [2], [3], [5], [12]–[14] and [16]–[19] of the proposed amendments amend notes in the Act and are consequential on the inclusion of a new subsection in the Evidence Act 1995 of the Commonwealth, relating to Commonwealth documents, that is not mirrored in the NSW Act.

Item [4] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that a court can direct that a party may give evidence of the contents of two or more non-complex documents in the form of a summary.

Item [15] of the proposed amendments inserts a note referring to a Commonwealth provision (relating to evidence of Commonwealth documents) that is not mirrored in the NSW Act.

The Public Service Act 1999 of the Commonwealth created a new public service structure which involves the engagement of people as “APS employees”. Such people do not hold office under an Australian law and are therefore not within the scope of many provisions of the Evidence Act 1995 that purport to cover Commonwealth public servants.

Item [20] of the proposed amendments updates a reference to the Commonwealth Act.

Item [21] of the proposed amendments will have the effect that the Evidence Act 1995 of New South Wales will continue to apply to the evidence of Commonwealth public servants despite the changes to the structure of the Commonwealth public service.

Omit “7 members” from section 25B (1). Insert instead “16 members”.

Omit “6 persons”. Insert instead “15 persons”.

Items [3], [4] and [5] of the proposed amendments increase the membership of the Motor Trade Advisory Council, the Property Services Advisory Council and the Home Building Advisory Council from 14 members to 16 members, by providing for two additional Ministerial appointees. Item [6] amends the provision requiring vacancies in the Advisory Councils to be filled, so as to require them to be filled within 2 months or such longer time as the Minister considers appropriate in the circumstances.

Insert after section 37 (1):

Insert after clause 3 (2):

Item [1] of the proposed amendments provides for the regulations to prescribe a fee for the issue of a summons by the Registrar of the Fair Trading Tribunal.

Omit “Clause 4 (1)” from Schedule 3 [3].

Omit “licence,”, “licensed premises,” and “sell,”.

Omit the item.

Omit the item. Insert instead:

The Food Production (Safety) Act 1998 constituted Safe Food Production NSW and defined its powers, authorities, duties and functions. The Act amended the Meat Industry Act 1978, including by providing for the repeal of Part 2 (Licences) and Part 3 (Inspections and regulation of the meat industry).

Items [2]–[4] of the proposed amendments provide for the continuation of Part 2 of the Meat Industry Act 1978 and of certain provisions relating to inspectors’ powers in Part 3 of that Act. They are consequential on the amendments to the Meat Industry Act 1978 made elsewhere in this Schedule.

Item [1] of the proposed amendments corrects an incorporation direction.

Insert instead “fee-for-service contracts or sessional contracts (or both)”.

Omit “fee-for-service contracts and sessional contracts” from section 91 (1) (a).

Insert instead “fee-for-service contracts or sessional contracts (or both)”.

Part 2 of Chapter 8 of the Health Services Act 1997 explains, and provides for the prerequisites for the entry into, service contracts between public health organisations and medical practitioners or practice companies. It also enables the relevant Minister, on application from the Australian Medical Association (NSW) Limited or the Minister for Health (or both), to appoint an arbitrator to determine certain matters involving contracts of visiting medical officers throughout the public health system.

At present, Part 2 provides for the appointment of an arbitrator to determine terms and conditions of work, and amounts or rates of remuneration, for visiting medical officers under fee-for-service contracts and sessional contracts. The proposed amendments will make it clear that an arbitration in relation to one class of contract can occur separately from the other class. This will restore the position as it applied under sections 29L and 29M of the Public Hospitals Act 1929, which were the predecessors of sections 89 and 91 of the Health Services Act 1997.

Insert in alphabetical order in section 4 (1):

Omit the definitions. Insert in alphabetical order:

Items [2], [4], [6]–[8], [10], [11] and [14] of the proposed amendments update references in the Heritage Act 1977 to office holders and departments, so as to reflect the current administrative arrangements concerning the Heritage Office.

Item [9] of the proposed amendments provides for an application for approval in respect of the doing or carrying out of an act, matter or thing referred to in section 57 (Effect of interim heritage orders and listing on State Heritage Register) to be made in the approved form rather than in the prescribed form.

The Impounding Act 1993 empowers an impounding officer to impound an article found in the officer’s area of operations if the officer believes on reasonable grounds that the article has been abandoned or left unattended. A person can make an application to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal to review an impounding decision. The time limit for applications relates to the date on which the impounding officer notified the owner of the impounding. At present, section 39 (c) provides that if notice of the impounding of an article has not been given, the time limit for making an application for review is 28 days from the day on which the article was impounded.

The proposed amendment provides that if the owner has not been given notice of the impounding of an article there is no time limit for making an application to review the impounding decision.

Insert “or the Residential Parks Act 1998” after “Residential Tenancies Act 1987”.

The proposed amendment provides that the Landlord and Tenant Act 1899 does not apply to a residential tenancy agreement, or to land that is subject to a residential tenancy agreement, to which the Residential Parks Act 1998 applies. (Before the enactment of the Residential Parks Act 1998, the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 applied to such agreements and land and, as a result of the operation of section 1B of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1899, the 1899 Act did not apply. The proposed amendment restores that position.)

Omit “Director-General of the Department of Urban Affairs and Planning” from section 6 (1) (b).

Omit “Department of Urban Affairs and Planning” from clause 2 (1).

(The proposed amendments are to the same effect as the Public Sector Management (Rental Bond Board) Order 2000, published in Gazette No 46 of 14 April 2000, p 3273.)

Omit “resumes” from section 12B (4) (b).

Omit “Minister for Public Works” wherever occurring.

Insert instead “Minister for Land and Water Conservation”.

Insert after section 271 (2):

Omit “, substitute returning officer”.

Insert “that civic office for” after “respect of” where secondly occurring in section 309 (3).

Insert “that civic office for” before “that ward” wherever occurring in section 311 (4).

Item [1] of the proposed amendments updates a reference to candidate information sheets (formerly called “resumes”) which are required by section 308 of the Local Government Act 1993 to accompany the nomination of a candidate for election to a civic office.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments amends a provision that excludes contracts for the leasing of land from the tendering requirements in section 55 of the Act. The amendment makes the provision consistent with section 46A of the Act, which requires a lease or licence of community land for a term exceeding 5 years to be granted only by tender (unless the lease or licence is in favour of a non-profit organisation).

Item [3] of the proposed amendments updates references to the Minister responsible for the construction of works of water supply, sewerage or stormwater drainage under the Public Works Act 1912. (The Minister for Land and Water Conservation administers the relevant provision of the Public Works Act 1912, namely section 34 (3).)

Item [4] of the proposed amendments provides that persons who are occupiers of more than one parcel of land in a council area will not have more than one vote for a council election. (Similar provisions apply to the voting rights of owners and ratepaying lessees.)

Item [5] of the proposed amendments omits a redundant reference to the substitute returning officer. (Section 296 (2) of the Act provides that the substitute returning officer exercises the functions of the returning officer in his or her absence.)

Items [6] and [7] of the proposed amendments make it clear that if a candidate for civic office dies before candidates are elected, the election fails only to the extent that it applied to the election to the particular civic office for which the candidate was nominated.

Items [8] and [9] of the proposed amendments require disclosure of electoral donations and expenditure for all council elections. (At present, the obligation applies only to ordinary elections and by-elections.)

Item [10] of the proposed amendments updates the heading to a section.

Item [11] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the participation of a councillor or a member of a council committee in the consideration or discussion of or vote on a matter relating to a matter in which the councillor or other member has a pecuniary interest does not invalidate the proceedings of the meeting.

Item [12] of the proposed amendments corrects a cross-reference.

Item [13] of the proposed amendments deals with the minimum amount of a rate that must be levied in respect of a parcel of land. The amendment provides that different minimum amounts may be specified within the same rating category or sub-category in the area when the land values have been last determined by reference to different base dates and the Minister approves of them.

Item [14] of the proposed amendments omits a redundant reference to investment by councils in securities authorised under another Act. (Securities are no longer authorised under the Trustee Act 1925.) The amended section provides for councils to invest money only in a form of investment notified by order of the Minister.

Item [15] of the proposed amendments removes redundant references to certain orders (which are also referred to in section 628 (1A)).

Item [16] of the proposed amendments provides for the Governor to rescind, revoke, amend or vary the operation of proclamations made under the Local Government Act 1919 (which are saved by item of the proposed amendments).

Item [17] of the proposed amendments provides for the Minister for Local Government to determine disputes that arise between one or more councils and one or more county councils. (The Minister currently has power to determine disputes between councils or between county councils.)

Item [18] of the proposed amendments omits a redundant provision and replaces it with a provision that saves proclamations made under the Local Government Act 1919.

Insert after section 6:

The Food Production (Safety) Act 1998 amended the Meat Industry Act 1978, including by providing for the repeal of Part 2 (Licences) and Part 3 (Inspections and regulation of the meat industry).

The proposed amendments to the Food Production (Safety) Act 1998 (made elsewhere in this Schedule) provide for the continuation of Part 2 of the Meat Industry Act 1978 and of certain provisions relating to inspectors’ powers in Part 3 of that Act.

The proposed amendments to the Meat Industry Act 1978 apply those continued provisions, until 1 August 2003, to and in respect of saleyard licences only (see proposed section 6A). The proposed amendments also make it clear that (until 1 August 2003) the regulations made under the Food Production (Safety) Act 1998 may include provisions relating to the branding of meat to identify whether it is lamb or hogget even though the purpose of those provisions may not relate to the safety of the meat for human consumption.

Insert after section 10 (2) (b) (ii):

The proposed amendment provides for the making of an application for a licence under the Motor Dealers Act 1974 by a body corporate that has only one director.

Insert after clause 4:

Omit “an elected director” wherever occurring.

At present, the Board of The National Trust of Australia (New South Wales) consists of 12 elected directors and one Executive Director. Of the 12 elected directors at least 2 are required to be ordinarily resident in the County of Cumberland and at least 2 are required to be ordinarily resident elsewhere in New South Wales.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments increases the number of elected directors of the Board from 12 to 13, with the thirteenth being appointed by the Board.

Items [6]–[8] of the proposed amendments provide for at least 2 of the directors elected by the Trust to be ordinarily resident in the Sydney metropolitan area (which is a wider area than the County of Cumberland) and increase the minimum number of directors elected by the Trust who are required to be resident in non-metropolitan areas from 2 to 3.

The other proposed amendments are consequential on the amendment proposed by item [2].

Insert after section 38 (5):

Insert “, or cause any pesticide to be destroyed or rendered harmless,” after “any pesticide” in section 41 (4).

Omit “performance of the” from section 44 (3).

Insert instead “performance of”.

Insert “to” after “regard” in section 67 (4).

Section 38 of the Pesticides Act 1999 provides for the making of pesticide control orders.

Item [1] of the proposed amendments provides for a pesticide control order to refer to or incorporate standards or other documents.

Section 41 empowers an authorised officer to give directions for the destruction of, or rendering harmless of, any pesticide if the authorised officer is of the opinion that it is necessary in the interest of public health or of any person, or because of any harm or risk of harm to any person, or to property, to the environment or a trade. Section 41 (4) provides that an authorised officer may destroy or render harmless any pesticide if the owner of the pesticide authorises the authorised officer to do so.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments provides that an authorised officer may cause a third person to destroy or render harmless any pesticide if the owner of the pesticide authorises the authorised officer to do so.

Item [3] of the proposed amendments omits a redundant word.

Item [4] of the proposed amendments inserts a missing word.

Insert after section 14AA (2):

Section 14AA of the Police Regulation (Superannuation) Act 1906 requires the trustee of the Police Superannuation Fund to reduce the amount of benefits that become payable to or in respect of a contributor, if the contributions that fund the benefits have been taxed under Commonwealth tax legislation. The reduction applies only to those benefits specified in the regulations and is calculated by a method prescribed by the regulations.

The proposed amendment makes it clear that section 14AA (1) and (2) applies to pensions that are being paid on 1 July 2000 and that became payable before or after the commencement of the section (on 20 March 1989). In particular, the proposed amendments apply to pensions that became payable between 1 July 1988 and 30 June 1997.

Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the money need not still be in the account when the requirement to produce records is made.

Section 42A of the Act provides that a person served with a statement of claim from a real estate agent can apply to have the agent’s commission reviewed in accordance with section 6 of the Consumer Claims Act 1998. Section 6 applies only to “consumers”, as defined in the 1998 Act.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments provides that a person who receives a statement of claim can apply for review despite the fact that the person is not a “consumer” within the meaning of section 6.

Item [4] of the proposed amendments omits a reference to a repealed section.

Omit “Part” wherever occurring in section 198 (1) and (2) (i).

Insert instead “Chapter”.

Omit the definition of waste. Insert instead:

Part 7.4 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 sets out powers relating to entry and search of premises. Section 198 of the Act sets out the powers of authorised officers to do things at premises, including examining and inspecting any works, plant, vehicle, aircraft or other article or taking and removing samples. That section empowers the doing of anything that is in the opinion of the authorised officer necessary to be done for the purposes of Part 7.4 (which merely sets out powers of entry and search).

Item [1] of the proposed amendments provides for those powers to be exercised when necessary for the purposes of Chapter 7 (Investigation).

Item [2] of the proposed amendments inserts a definition of waste in the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997. (“Waste” is presently defined by reference to the definition in the Waste Minimisation and Management Act 1995.)

Omit the definition of Residential Tenancies Program Account from section 3 (1).

Omit the section.

Section 129 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 provides that the cost of administration of the Act and the Residential Parks Act 1998 in any year should not exceed the amount of contributions paid for those purposes into the Residential Tenancies Program Account (which is defined as an account that contains contributions from accounts under the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 1941 and the Landlord and Tenant (Rental Bonds) Act 1977).

However, section 20 (2A) of the Landlord and Tenant (Rental Bonds) Act 1977 provides that payment of half of the costs of the administration of the Residential Tenancies Act 1987, the Residential Tribunal Act 1998 and the Residential Parks Act 1998 will be met from contributions from the Rental Bond Interest Account. Similarly, section 63E of the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 1941 provides that half of the costs of the administration of those Acts will be paid from the Statutory Interest Account established under the 1941 Act. The proposed amendments omit the redundant references to the Residential Tenancies Program Account.

Insert after section 25:

Insert after section 37 (1):

Insert after clause 3 (2):

Item [1] of the proposed amendments provides for the conduct of proceedings, including the service of notices, in relation to parties with a joint liability (for example, co-tenants). (The inclusion of the amendment restores the position existing under the Residential Tenancies Act 1987.)

Item [2] of the proposed amendments provides for the regulations to prescribe a fee for the issue of a summons by the Registrar of the Residential Tribunal.

Item [3] of the proposed amendments removes the obligation on a full-time member of the Residential Tribunal to devote the whole of his or her time to the duties of office if the Chairperson of the Tribunal consents to the member holding, and exercising the functions of, a judicial office or another statutory or other public office, or engaging in any other employment.

Omit “3 months” from section 20 (1) (d).

Item [1] of the proposed amendments removes an inconsistency between two provisions dealing with the keeping of accounts (namely sections 20 and 119). Section 20 is amended in consequence of an amendment in committee made to section 119 during the passage of the Bill for the Act through Parliament.

Except where it is expressly provided to the contrary, if this Act:

• (a)

  amends a provision of an Act or regulation, or

• (b)

  repeals and re-enacts (with or without modification) a provision of an Act or regulation,

any act done or decision made under the provision amended or repealed has effect after the amendment or repeal as if it had been done or made under the provision as so amended or repealed.

This clause ensures that the amendment or repeal of a provision will not, unless expressly otherwise provided, vitiate any act done or decision made under the provision as in force before the amendment or repeal.

Except where expressly provided to the contrary, any regulation made under an Act amended by this Act, and in force immediately before the commencement of the amendment, is taken to have been made under the Act as amended.
