Transport Administration Act 1988

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Transport Administration Act 1988.

Brian Langton

Minister for Transport

Explanatory note

The object of this Regulation is to declare, for the purposes of the Transport Administration Act 1988, a further part of the route of the Ultimo/Pyrmont light rail system. (Part of that route was declared by clause 9A of the Transport Administration (General) Regulation 1995, which was inserted in that Regulation by the Transport Administration (General) Amendment (Light Rail) Regulation 1997, published in Government Gazette No 24 of 7 March 1997 at pages 1361-1363.)

The part of the route declared by this Regulation is specified in clause 9B. It consists of the route along a section of the former Darling Harbour Goods Line (between Darling Drive and Wattle Street, Ultimo). The declaration will enable the exercise of functions under that Act with respect to that part of the light rail system-in particular, functions with respect to easements for catenary supports from adjoining structures and with respect to operational matters.
