Schedule 1Minor amendments

(Section 3)

Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 No 42[1]Section 118 Advisory committees

Omit “time time” from section 118 (1). Insert instead “time to time”.

[2]Section 120 Membership of New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council

Omit “(other than the Chairperson of the Council)” from section 120 (2).

[3]Section 217 Contents of investigator’s instrument of appointment

Insert at the end of section 217:

(2)

The instrument may also contain provision for the payment to the investigator of remuneration in addition to the remuneration specified in the instrument. For example, the instrument could provide for the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council to approve the payment of additional remuneration that it is satisfied is reasonable.

[4]Section 224 Contents of administrator’s instrument of appointment

Insert at the end of section 224:

(2)

The instrument may also contain provision for the payment to the administrator of remuneration in addition to the remuneration specified in the instrument. For example, the instrument could provide for the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council to approve the payment of additional remuneration that it is satisfied is reasonable.

[5]Schedule 4 Savings, transitional and other provisions

Insert after Part 7 of Schedule 4:

Part 8Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 200749Remuneration of investigators and administrators(1)

Each instrument of appointment of an investigator or administrator under Part 11 that was executed before the commencement of this clause is taken to include (and always to have included) provision to the effect that the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council may approve the payment of additional remuneration to the investigator or administrator that the Council is satisfied is reasonable.

(2)

An amount paid before the commencement of this clause as remuneration to an investigator or administrator appointed under Part 11, being an amount paid with the approval of the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council in addition to the remuneration specified in the investigator’s or administrator’s instrument of appointment, is taken to be and always to have been validly paid as remuneration of the investigator or administrator.

(3)

Sections 217 (2) and 224 (2) extend to an instrument of appointment of an investigator or administrator under Part 11 that was executed before the commencement of this clause, with the result that a provision included in such an instrument that would have been valid had sections 217 (2) and 224 (2) been in force when the instrument was executed is taken to be and always to have been valid.

Explanatory note

Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (the Act) inserts a missing word.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments clarifies that the Chairperson of the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council is to be full-time. Before section 120 of the Act was inserted by Schedule 1 [47] to the Aboriginal Land Rights Amendment Act 2006, the councillors of the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council, including the Chairperson, were all full-time. The new section 120 (2) provided that the councillors were to be full-time but, inadvertently, did not make it clear that the Chairperson (who is to be elected from among those councillors) is also to be full-time.

Items [3] and [4] of the proposed amendments amend provisions of the Act that deal with the appointment of investigators and administrators of Aboriginal Land Councils to provide that the instrument of appointment of an investigator or administrator may include provision for the payment to the investigator or administrator of remuneration in addition to that specified in the instrument (for example, provision for the NSW Aboriginal Land Council to approve the payment of additional remuneration that the Council is satisfied is reasonable).

Item [5] of the proposed amendments enacts transitional provisions that extend the amendments to instruments of appointment executed before the commencement of the amendments (existing instruments), validates payments of additional remuneration made with the approval of the NSW Aboriginal Land Council and deems existing instruments to include a provision enabling the NSW Aboriginal Land Council to approve additional remuneration that the Council is satisfied is reasonable.

Aboriginal Land Rights Amendment Act 2006 No 111Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983

Omit proposed section 63 (6) from Schedule 1 [41]. Insert instead:

(6)

The Registrar is to be the returning officer for an election.

The proposed amendment to the Aboriginal Land Rights Amendment Act 2006 makes the Registrar appointed under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 the returning officer for elections of Board members of Local Aboriginal Land Councils instead of the Electoral Commissioner for New South Wales.

Agricultural Livestock (Disease Control Funding) Act 1998 No 139

Omit “Rural Lands Protection Board Association” wherever occurring.

Explanatory note

The proposed amendment to the Agricultural Livestock (Disease Control Funding) Act 1998 replaces references in the Act to the defunct Rural Lands Protection Board Association with references to the State Council of Rural Lands Protection Boards.

Commission for Children and Young People Act 1998 No 146[1]Schedule 1, clauses 2, 3 (4)–(6) and 6 (5)

Omit “A plan”.

Insert instead “The separate document required to be lodged under subclause (1A) with a plan”.

[3]Schedule 1, clause 2 (6A)

Omit the subclause.

Explanatory note

The proposed amendments to the Community Land Development Act 1989 (the Act) provide for a separate document in the approved form to be lodged with certain plans that are required to be registered and lodged with the Registrar-General under the Act. The amendments will enable all signatures and consents required for lodging those plans to be endorsed on, or included with, that separate document.

Community Land Management Act 1989 No 202[1]Section 3 Definitions

Omit “Minister” from the definition of approved form in section 3 (1).

Insert instead “Director-General”.

[2]Section 3 (1), definition of “Director-General”

Omit the definition. Insert instead:

Director-General means:

  • (a)

    the Commissioner for Fair Trading, Department of Commerce, or

  • (b)

Explanatory note

Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Community Land Management Act 1989 (the Act) requires forms under the Act to be approved by the Commissioner for Fair Trading, Department of Commerce rather than the Minister for Fair Trading.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments provides (in line with other consumer affairs legislation) for the Commissioner for Fair Trading, Department of Commerce to exercise the functions under the Act previously exercised by the Director-General of the Department of Fair Trading. However, if there is no position of Commissioner for Fair Trading within the Department of Commerce, the Director-General of that Department will exercise those functions.

Section 39 (1A) of the Act currently provides that a building or structure on the property of an association (within the meaning of the Act) is to be insured for at least the value of the building or structure indicated by the last valuation obtained for the building or structure.

Item [3] of the proposed amendments substitutes section 39 (1A) to provide that the value of insurance for the building or structure is to be at least the amount determined in accordance with the regulations or, if the regulations do not provide for the determination of such an amount, at least the value of the building or structure indicated by the last valuation obtained for the building or structure in accordance with Division 3 of Part 2 of the Act.

Item [4] of the proposed amendments provides that an application for the mediation of a dispute relating to a community scheme must be accompanied by the fee that is prescribed by the regulations in respect of the application.

Item [5] of the proposed amendments allows the making of regulations for or with respect to fees under the Act or the waiver or refund of any fee under the Act.

    (3)

    This section does not authorise a council to sell a dangerous or restricted dog.

    Explanatory note

    In general, the purpose of the proposed amendments to the Companion Animals Act 1998 (the Act) is to ensure that the provisions of the Act dealing with dangerous dogs and restricted dogs are consistent. Some of the amendments also restate existing provisions of the Act for the purposes of clarification.

    At present under section 36 of the Act, if the owner of a dog is notified that a council officer intends to declare the dog to be dangerous, the owner must comply with certain interim control requirements, including ensuring that the dog is kept under effective control by means of a chain, cord or leash whenever it is away from the property where it is ordinarily kept. Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the chain, cord or leash must be attached to the dog and held by, or secured to, a competent person who has control of the dog when it is away from its property.

    Item [2] of the proposed amendments provides that during the time when the interim control requirements under section 36 of the Act apply in respect of a dog that is the subject of a proposed dangerous dog declaration, a council officer may seize the dog if it is not confined, tethered or restrained in such a way as to prevent it from attacking or chasing a person who is lawfully on the property where the dog is ordinarily kept. The amendment is consistent with the existing provisions of section 58B of the Act for seizing a dog that is subject to a proposed restricted dog declaration. Items [3]–[5] are consequential amendments.

    Item [6] of the proposed amendments provides that if a council officer declares a dog to be dangerous, the notice advising the owner of the declaration and its consequences must indicate that the dog may be seized and destroyed under section 58G of the Act if it attacks or bites a person or animal without provocation.

    At present under section 58B of the Act, if the owner of a dog is notified that a council officer intends to declare the dog to be a restricted dog, the owner must comply with interim control requirements (such as keeping the dog under effective control and muzzling it when it is away from its property). Item [7] of the proposed amendments requires the owner of the dog to also register the dog under the Act (if it is not already registered) within 7 days after receiving the notice. The same requirement currently applies under section 36 of the Act in relation to a proposed dangerous dog declaration.

    Items [8]–[11] of the proposed amendments are consequential on the amendment made by item [7].

    At present under section 58G of the Act, a council officer may seize a dangerous dog or a restricted dog if the dog attacks or bites a person or animal without provocation or if certain enclosure and muzzling requirements are not complied with on at least 2 separate occasions over a 12-month period. However, section 57 (4) of the Act also provides for a restricted dog to be seized if any of the control requirements (i.e. not just those relating to enclosures and muzzling) under section 56 of the Act are not complied with in relation to the dog on any occasion. Item [12] of the proposed amendments removes the overlap between sections 58G and 57 (4) of the Act when it comes to seizing restricted dogs for non-compliance with the control requirements. Items [13] and [14] are consequential amendments.

    Items [15]–[17] of the proposed amendments provide that the existing procedures for notifying the owners of seized animals, and for selling or destroying seized animals after a certain period, will also apply in relation to animals that come into possession of a council pound otherwise than by being surrendered by their owners. In the case of an animal that is surrendered to a council pound by its owner, item [18] restates the existing provision that enables the council to sell or destroy the animal at any time.

    Constitution Act 1902 No 32

    Omit “Chairman of Committees” from section 22G (7).

    Insert instead “Chair of Committees”.

    Explanatory note

    The proposed amendment to the Constitution Act 1902 updates a reference to an office consequent on changes to the Standing Orders of the Legislative Council.

    Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 No 140

    Insert after section 92:

    92APenalty notices(1)

    An authorised officer may serve a penalty notice on a person if it appears to the officer that the person has committed an offence against this Act or the regulations, being an offence prescribed by the regulations as a penalty notice offence.

    (2)

    A penalty notice is a notice to the effect that, if the person served does not wish to have the matter determined by a court, the person can pay, within the time and to the person specified in the notice, the amount of the penalty prescribed by the regulations for the offence if dealt with under this section.

    (3)

    A penalty notice may be served personally or by post.

    (4)

    If the amount of penalty prescribed for an alleged offence is paid under this section, no person is liable to any further proceedings for the alleged offence.

    (5)

    Payment under this section is not to be regarded as an admission of liability for the purpose of, and does not in any way affect or prejudice, any civil claim, action or proceeding arising out of the same occurrence.

    (6)

    The regulations may:

    • (a)

      prescribe an offence for the purposes of this section by specifying the offence or by referring to the provision creating the offence, and

    • (b)

      prescribe the amount of penalty payable for the offence if dealt with under this section, and

    • (c)

      prescribe different amounts of penalties for different offences or classes of offences.

    (7)

    The amount of a penalty prescribed under this section for an offence is not to exceed the maximum amount of penalty that could be imposed for the offence by a court.

    (8)

    This section does not limit the operation of any other provision of, or made under, this or any other Act relating to proceedings that may be taken in respect of offences.

    (9)

    In this section, authorised officer means a person of a class prescribed by the regulations who is authorised in writing by the Director-General as an authorised officer for the purposes of this section.

    Explanatory note

    The proposed amendment to the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 inserts a standard provision that allows penalty notices to be issued in respect of prescribed penalty notice offences under the Act.

    Conveyancers Licensing Act 2003 No 3[1]Section 10 Disqualified persons

    Omit “a director or person concerned in the management of” wherever occurring in section 10 (2) (c) and (d) (ii) and (3B) (c).

The amendments will enable all signatures and consents required for lodging plans to be endorsed on that separate document.

    Section 48 of the Act currently provides that a licence granted by the Minister and authorising the use or occupation of Crown land for any purpose can only be transferred if the conditions of the licence permit the transfer and the licence is transferred to the owner or holder of land that benefits from the licence. Item [2] of the proposed amendments provides the restrictions imposed by section 48 in relation to the transfer of licences will not apply to a licence authorising the use or occupation of Crown land for the purposes of telecommunications infrastructure.

    Crown Lands (Continued Tenures) Act 1989 No 7

    Explanatory note

    The proposed amendment to the Crown Lands (Continued Tenures) Act 1989 allows the purchase price of land in respect of an application for purchase of land held under a lease under that Act (including pending applications) to be paid by instalments instead of in full.

    Fines Act 1996 No 99

    Insert in alphabetical order:

    Contaminated Land Management Act 1997, section 92A

    Explanatory note

    The proposed amendment to the Fines Act 1996 provides for the enforcement of penalty notices issued under section 92A of the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 and is consequential on the insertion of that section by an amendment made elsewhere in this Schedule.

    Fisheries Management Act 1994 No 38[1]Section 197B Mining in aquatic reserve prohibited

    Omit “(Submerged Lands)” from section 197B (2).

    Insert instead “(Offshore)”.

    [2]Section 215 Purpose of Division

    Omit “adverse affect”. Insert instead “adverse effect”.

    Explanatory note

    Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Fisheries Management Act 1994 is consequential on the proposed renaming of the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1982 as the Petroleum (Offshore) Act 1982 elsewhere in this Schedule.

    Item [2] of the proposed amendments corrects a typographical error.

    Freedom of Information Act 1989 No 5[1]Section 8 Public offices

    Item [2] of the proposed amendments corrects a reference.

    Growth Centres (Development Corporations) Act 1974 No 49[1]Section 3 Definitions

    Insert after section 3 (2):

    (3)

  • (c)

    if a person is appointed under subsection (1A) (a) as the chief executive—the Director-General or, in the absence of the Director-General, a person nominated by the Director-General.

  • [3]Schedule 2 Provisions relating to the constitution and procedure of development corporations

    Insert before clause 1:

    1AApplication of Schedule to Director-General and nominee

    This Schedule (other than clause 9 (2)) applies to and in respect of a person who is a member of a development corporation under section 6 (1) (c) in the same way as this Schedule applies to and in respect of a chief executive.

    [4]Schedule 2, clause 1

    Omit “appointed members”.

    Insert instead “members appointed by the Governor”.

    Explanatory note

    Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Growth Centres (Development Corporations) Act 1974 clarifies the status of notes.

    Item [2] of the proposed amendments provides for the Director-General of the Department of Planning (or a nominee of the Director-General in the Director-General’s absence) to be a member of a development corporation if a person other than the Director-General has been appointed by the Minister for Planning as the chief executive of the development corporation. In cases where a person is not appointed as the chief executive, the Director-General is the chief executive and therefore a member of the development corporation.

    Item [3] of the proposed amendments provides that where the Director-General or person nominated by the Director-General does become such a member, the provisions of Schedule 2 (Provisions relating to the constitution and procedure of development corporations) apply to the Director-General or nominee in the same way that those provisions apply to a chief executive of a development corporation. For example, the Director-General or nominee is not entitled to remuneration and cannot preside at meetings of the development corporation. Also the provisions of Schedule 2 relating to terms of office, the application of the Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002, vacation of office and filling of vacancies do not apply to the Director-General or nominee.

    Item [4] of the proposed amendments clarifies that the Chairperson of a development corporation is to be one of the members appointed by the Governor.

    [2]Sections 69 and 70 (4)–(6)

    Omit “Vice-Chairman” wherever occurring.

    Explanatory note

    The proposed amendments to the Health Care Complaints Act 1993 change the titles of the presiding officers of a parliamentary committee to ensure consistent titles are used across all parliamentary committees.

    Home Building Act 1989 No 147[1]Section 3 Definitions

    Omit “It includes any work declared by the regulations to be roof plumbing work.” from the definition of plumbing work in section 3 (1).

    An endorsed contractor licence or a supervisor or tradesperson certificate does not authorise its holder to do or supervise specialist work merely because it authorises its holder to do or supervise residential building work.

    Explanatory note

    The proposed amendments to the Home Building Act 1989 (the Act) remove redundant references to roof plumbing work from the definition of plumbing work in section 3 (1) and from section 37 of the Act. The definitions of residential building work and specialist work in section 3 (1) of the Act fully address the relationship of roof plumbing work to plumbing work for the purposes of the Act.

    Omit “persons’ capacity” from section 104 (3) (b).

    Items [1] and [2] of the proposed amendments to the Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 1988 change the titles of the presiding officers of a parliamentary committee to ensure consistent titles are used across all parliamentary committees.

    Item [3] of the proposed amendments corrects a typographical error.

    Interpretation Act 1987 No 15

    Omit “is described under the heading referring to the State in Schedule 2 to the” from the definition of adjacent area in respect of the State.

    Insert instead “was described under the heading referring to the State in Schedule 2 to the repealed”.

    Explanatory note

    The proposed amendment to the Interpretation Act 1987 is consequential on the repeal of the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1967 of the Commonwealth and the commencement of the Offshore Petroleum Act 2006 of the Commonwealth.

    Legislation Review Act 1987 No 165[1]Section 3 Definitions

    Local Government Act 1993 No 30

    Omit “Marine Safety Act 1998” from section 633 (4C).

    Insert instead “Ports and Maritime Administration Act 1995”.

    Explanatory note

    The proposed amendment to the Local Government Act 1993 replaces a reference in section 633 (4C) of that Act to a vessel within the meaning of the Marine Safety Act 1998 with a reference to a vessel within the meaning of the Ports and Maritime Administration Act 1995. Both those Acts have a similar definition of vessel. However, the amendment will mean that the Minister for Ports and Waterways will be able to delegate his or her functions under that subsection to an authorised person. This is because section 27 (1) (b) of the Ports and Maritime Administration Act 1995 permits the Minister to delegate any function conferred by or under any Act on the Minister in his or her capacity as the Minister administering the Ports and Maritime Administration Act 1995. No such power to delegate the Minister’s functions is contained in the Marine Safety Act 1998.

    Marine Parks Act 1997 No 64

    Omit “(Submerged Lands)” from section 18 (2).

    Insert instead “(Offshore)”.

    Explanatory note

    Omit “chief inspector of coal mines”.

    Insert instead “Chief Inspector appointed under the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act 2002”.

    Explanatory note

    Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Mining Act 1992 is consequential on the proposed renaming of the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1982 as the Petroleum (Offshore) Act 1982 elsewhere in this Schedule.

    Item [2] of the proposed amendments updates a reference to an office.

    Motor Dealers Act 1974 No 52[1]Section 10 Application to licences of Licensing and Registration (Uniform Procedures) Act 2002

    Omit section 10 (3) (b). Insert instead:

  • (b)

    an application for restoration of a licence under section 10 of that Act may be made only in respect of a licence that is cancelled under section 20 (7) of this Act, and any such application may not be made more than 3 months after the date on which the licence is cancelled.

  • [2]Section 12 Grounds on which application to be granted or refused

    Omit “or experience (if any)” from section 12 (4) (e).

    [3]Section 20 Annual fee and annual statement

    Omit section 20 (7A) and (7B).

    Explanatory note

    Section 10 (3) (b) of the Motor Dealers Act 1974 (the Act) currently provides that an application for the restoration of a licence under the Act may not be made more than 3 months after the date on which the licence “expires”. However, section 19 (1) of the Act makes it clear that a licence does not expire, it continues in force until, pursuant to the provisions of the Act, it is surrendered or cancelled or ceases to have effect.

    Item [1] of the proposed amendments clarifies the intended effect of section 10 (3) (b) by providing that a person may make an application for restoration of a licence under section 10 of the Licensing and Registration (Uniform Procedures) Act 2002 only in respect of a licence that is cancelled under section 20 (7) of the Act (failure to pay an annual fee or lodge an annual statement). Any such application may not be made more than 3 months after the date on which the licence is cancelled.

    Item [2] of the proposed amendments removes experience as a qualification for a director of a corporation that applies for a licence under the Act. Directors are now required to have prescribed qualifications or have sufficient knowledge or expertise to carry on a business pursuant to the authority that would be conferred by the licence if it were granted. This brings this requirement into line with the equivalent requirement for a natural person who applies for a licence.

    Item [3] of the proposed amendments omits provisions consequential on the amendment made by item [1].

    National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 No 80

    Omit “(Submerged Lands)” wherever occurring. Insert instead “(Offshore)”.

    Omit “Coal Mines Regulation Act 1982 applies—to section 86” from section 107A (6) (b).

    Insert instead “Coal Mine Health and Safety Act 2002 applies—to section 110”.

    Explanatory note

    Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000 is consequential on the proposed renaming of the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1982 as the Petroleum (Offshore) Act 1982 elsewhere in this Schedule.

    Omit “Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1967” and “Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1982” from note 2.

    • (b)

      the proposed renaming of the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1982 as the Petroleum (Offshore) Act 1982 elsewhere in this Schedule.

    Omit “Vice-Chairperson” wherever occurring.

    Explanatory note

    Section 67 of the Police Act 1990 was omitted by the Police Amendment (Police Promotions) Act 2006 and replaced by section 82E. Section 67 of the Police Act 1990 provided that the Commissioner may transfer a non-executive officer from one non-executive position to another. If the position to which the officer was transferred entitled its holder to a lower level of remuneration, the officer must have consented to the transfer at the lower level of remuneration. Section 82E of the Police Act 1990 provides that the Commissioner may transfer a non-executive administrative officer from one non-executive administrative officer position to another non-executive administrative officer position or non-executive police officer position. If the position to which the officer is transferred entitles its holder to a lower level of remuneration, the officer must consent to the transfer at the lowest level of remuneration.

    Insert “or has failed to lodge a statutory declaration as required by section 113,” after “person under this Act,” in section 16 (1) (o).

    Item [2] of the proposed amendments amends section 14 (2) (c) of the Act to provide that a corporation will be ineligible to hold a corporation licence if it is a disqualified person or if any officer of the corporation is a disqualified person (currently a corporation is ineligible to hold a corporation licence only if an officer of the corporation is a disqualified person).

    Item [3] of the proposed amendments provides that a person is a disqualified person for the purposes of the Act if the person has failed to lodge a statutory declaration as required by section 113 of the Act, unless the Director-General determines that in the circumstances that failure should not disqualify the person.

    Items [4]–[6] of the proposed amendments clarify that a director of an externally-administered body corporate can be a disqualified person for the purposes of the Act whether or not he or she is also a person concerned in the management of the body corporate.

Item [1] of the proposed amendments extends this power of delegation to the Auditor-General’s audit related functions.

    Items [2]–[6] of the proposed amendments to the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 change the titles of the presiding officers of a parliamentary committee to ensure consistent titles are used across all parliamentary committees.

    The repeal or amendment of any reference to the Australian Road Rules or the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) (Road Rules) Regulation 1999 (or a provision of those Rules or the Regulation) in any Act or statutory rule that is a reference that is (or will become) out of date or otherwise incorrect by reason of the repeal, amendment, renumbering, renaming or remaking of those Rules or the Regulation (or a provision of those Rules or the Regulation).

    (2)

    This clause expires on 1 September 2008.

    Note—

    The Australian Road Rules were incorporated into the law of New South Wales by clause 6 of the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) (Road Rules) Regulation 1999 on and from 1 December 1999. Clause 6 provided that, subject to that Regulation, the Australian Road Rules were to be read with, and as if they formed part of, that Regulation.

    Explanatory note

    Clause 5 of the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) (Road Rules) Regulation 1999 (the Regulation) defines the Australian Road Rules to mean that part of the publication known as the Australian Road Rules, ISBN 0 7240 8874 1, published by the National Road Transport Commission on 19 October 1999 that comprises the road rules approved by the Australian Transport Council under the National Road Transport Commission Act 1991 of the Commonwealth on 29 January 1999 (together with the amendments to those rules approved by the Council on 30 June 1999 and 11 October 1999).

    This version of the Australian Road Rules is incorporated into the law of New South Wales by clause 6 of the Regulation. Clause 6 provides that, subject to that Regulation, the Australian Road Rules are to be read with, and as if they formed part of, the Regulation.

    The Roads and Traffic Authority is currently undertaking the task of consolidating all of the road rules applicable in New South Wales into a single set of Rules. This will involve, among other things, the repeal of those provisions of the Regulation that give effect to the Australian Road Rules. The intention is for all of the road rules to be set out in full instead of being incorporated into the law of New South Wales by reference (as is currently the case).

    The amendments that are proposed to be made to the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act 1999 (the Act) will facilitate this process of consolidation.

    Item [1] of the amendments confirms that regulations made under the Act may apply the provisions of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 of the Commonwealth to the interpretation of the Act or the regulations (or instruments made under them) either with or without modification.

    Item [2] of the amendments confirms that offences against rules made under the Act may be prescribed as public transport lane offences for the purposes of section 57B of the Act.

    Item [3] of the amendments enables regulations made under that Act to amend Acts and statutory rules for the purpose of updating or omitting references to the Australian Road Rules or the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) (Road Rules) Regulation 1999. The proposed new road rules regime will render many provisions in the New South Wales statute book out of date. The proposed regulation-making power will therefore enable these outdated references to be updated or omitted at the same time as the new road rules regime commences. The power to make such regulations will cease on 1 September 2008.

    Items [6] and [7] of the proposed amendments provide for a separate document to be lodged with a strata plan of consolidation or a building alteration plan.

    [3]Section 10 (4) (b1)

    Insert after section 10 (4) (b):

  • (b1)

    the Parking Space Levy Regulation 1997,

  • Explanatory note

    The Subordinate Legislation Act 1989 (the Act) provides for the automatic repeal of statutory rules. The repeal takes effect on the fifth anniversary of the date on which the statutory rule was published (in the case of a statutory rule published on 1 September in any year) or on 1 September following the fifth anniversary of the date on which it was published (in any other case)—see section 10 (2) of the Act. Unless it is intended to allow the statutory rule to lapse, a statutory rule that is due for repeal under the Act is usually remade in advance of the repeal date.

    Section 11 of the Act permits the repeal of a statutory rule to be postponed, by order of the Governor, for a period of one year. However, the repeal of a particular statutory rule cannot be postponed on more than five occasions.

    Items [2] and [3] of the proposed amendments have the effect of keeping the Day Procedure Centres Regulation 1996, the Liquor Regulation 1996, the Parking Space Levy Regulation 1997, the Private Hospitals Regulation 1996 and the Registered Clubs Regulation 1996 in force for a further period of one year after the date on which they would otherwise be repealed by the Act. However, any of the Regulations may be sooner repealed by other legislation.

    This is necessary as the Regulations have each been postponed on five occasions, and are now due to be repealed on 1 September 2007. However, proposed legislative reforms involving the repeal and re-enactment of the Private Hospitals and Day Procedure Centres Act 1988 and the Liquor Act 1982, and extensive amendments to the Registered Clubs Act 1976, resulting from a National Competition Policy review of those 3 Acts and the NSW Summit on Alcohol Abuse 2003 will have a substantial impact on the matters dealt with by the Regulations made under those 3 Acts. In addition, a review is being undertaken of the Parking Space Levy Act 1992 and this is likely to result in changes to that Act and the Regulation. In view of these matters, there seems little point in remaking the Regulations. On the other hand, it is desirable to keep the current regulatory schemes of the Regulations in place until such time as replacement provisions come into force under new or revised legislation.

    Item [1] of the proposed amendments repeals a redundant subsection.

    Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 No 101[1]Section 127ZK Application for biobanking statement in respect of development

    Omit “an approved form” from section 127ZK (2).

    Insert instead “a form approved by the Director-General”.

    Explanatory note

    Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (the Act) amends section 127ZK of the Act to clarify that an application for a biobanking statement under the Act must be made in a form approved by the Director-General of the Department of Environment and Climate Change.

    Parts 1, 3 and 4 of Schedule 1 to the Act contain, respectively, lists of endangered species, endangered ecological communities and species presumed extinct. Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Act contains lists of vulnerable species. Any endangered species, species presumed extinct or vulnerable species that is a listed threatened species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 of the Commonwealth, and any endangered ecological community that is listed as a threatened ecological community under that Act, is marked with an asterisk to show that it is considered to be threatened nationally.

    Items [2]–[5] of the proposed amendments insert asterisks next to descriptions of species and communities in Parts 1, 3 and 4 of Schedule 1 and Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Act to indicate their national status as threatened species and communities.

    Items [6]–[14] of the proposed amendments rearrange the descriptions of species within certain families in Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Act so that they appear in alphabetical order, no matter is added or deleted. Item [14] also corrects the common name listed for the bat species Nyctophilus timoriensis and inserts an asterisk next to the description of that species to indicate its national status as a threatened species.

    Schedule 3Amendments consequential on the enactment of the Legal Profession Act 2004 No 112

    (Section 3)

    Explanatory note

    The Legal Profession Act 2004 introduced new terms to distinguish between different types of lawyers. In particular, the Act introduced the concept of an Australian lawyer (a person who is admitted to the legal profession under the Act or a corresponding law) and an Australian legal practitioner (an Australian lawyer who holds a current local practising certificate or a current interstate practising certificate). The proposed amendments in Schedule 3 replace references in various Acts to a legal practitioner, interstate legal practitioner, solicitor, barrister or lawyer with the appropriate term for these positions following the enactment of the Legal Profession Act 2004. Currently, the meanings of Australian legal practitioner and Australian lawyer are set out in section 21 (1) of the Interpretation Act 1987 for ease of reference in other Acts.

    Key
    • 1

      indicates repeal of a whole Act that contains only amendments, or amendments and repeals, that have commenced and provisions that are redundant

    • 2

      indicates repeal of those provisions of an Act that contain only amendments, or amendments and repeals, that have commenced or are redundant

    • 3

      indicates repeal of an Act that is redundant

    Explanatory note

    The repeals are explained in detail in the Explanatory note relating to this Act. In relation to the repeal of amending Acts, it should be noted that the Acts are repealed simply to rationalise the legislation in force and that the repeals have no substantive effect on the amendments made by the Acts or any associated provisions. The Acts that were amended by the Acts being repealed are up-to-date on the Legislation Database maintained by the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office and are available electronically.

    Section 30 (2) of the Interpretation Act 1987 ensures that, when an Act is amended or repealed, no amendment made by the Act is affected. Section 30 (2) of that Act also ensures that the following matters are not affected:

    • (a)

      the proof of any past act or thing,

    • (b)

      any right, privilege, obligation or liability saved by the operation of the Act,

    • (c)

      any amendment or validation made by the Act,

    • (d)

      the operation of any savings or transitional provision contained in the Act.

    Schedule 6General savings, transitional and other provisions

    (Section 5)

    1Effect of amendment of amending provisions(1)

    An amendment made by Schedule 1, 2 or 4 to an amending provision contained in an Act is, if the amending provision has commenced before the date of assent to this Act, taken to have effect as from the commencement of the amending provision (whether or not the amending provision has been repealed).

    (2)

    In this clause:

    amending provision means a provision of an Act that makes a direct amendment to an Act by:

    • (a)

      the repeal or omission of matter contained in the amended Act without the insertion of any matter instead of the repealed or omitted matter, or

    • (b)

      the omission of matter contained in the amended Act and the insertion of matter instead of the omitted matter, or

    • (c)

      the insertion into the amended Act of matter, not being matter inserted instead of matter omitted from the Act.

    Explanatory note

    This clause ensures that certain amendments, including amendments correcting errors in technical provisions (for example, headings indicating the section to be amended or directions as to where a new section is to be inserted) and rectifying minor drafting errors (for example, corrections in numbering of provisions, correction or insertion of cross-references, omission of unnecessary matter or insertion of omitted matter), will be taken to have commenced on the date the amendments to which they relate commenced.

    2Effect of amendment or repeal on acts done or decisions made

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

    • (a)

      amends a provision of an Act or an instrument, or

    • (b)

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

    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.

    Explanatory note

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

    3Application of Interpretation Act 1987 to amendments to statutory rules

    Sections 39, 40 and 41 of the Interpretation Act 1987 do not apply to any amendments to statutory rules made by this Act.

    Explanatory note

    This clause makes it clear that certain provisions concerning the making, tabling and disallowance of statutory rules do not apply to amendments to statutory rules made by the proposed Act.

    4Effect of amendment on instruments(1)

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

    (2)

    The amendment of an instrument by this Act does not prevent its later amendment or repeal by another instrument.

    Explanatory note

    Subclause (1) ensures that, unless expressly provided, any instrument that is in force and made under a provision of an Act that is amended or substituted by the proposed Act will be taken to have been made under the Act as amended.

    Subclause (2) ensures that the amendment of an instrument by the proposed Act does not prevent its later amendment or repeal by another instrument.

    5Regulations(1)

    The Governor may make regulations containing provisions of a savings or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of this Act.

    (2)

    Any such provision may, if the regulations so provide, take effect from the date of assent to this Act or a later date.

    (3)

    To the extent to which any such provision takes effect from a date that is earlier than the date of its publication in the Gazette, the provision does not operate so as:

    • (a)

      to affect, in a manner prejudicial to any person (other than the State or an authority of the State), the rights of that person existing before the date of its publication, or

    • (b)

      to impose liabilities on any person (other than the State or an authority of the State) in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before the date of its publication.

    Explanatory note

    This clause enables the making of regulations of a savings or transitional nature having a short term effect and relating to incidental matters arising out of the proposed Act with regard to which no specific, or sufficient, provision has been made in the proposed Act.
