EXPLANATORY NOTE

The object of this Regulation is to repeal and remake Regulation No. 6 made under the Broken Hill Water and Sewerage Act 1938 (as continued in force under the Water Supply Authorities Act 1987). The new Regulation deals with matters of a machinery nature, namely, the manner in which notice of the proposed exercise of functions by a public agency within a “special area” (formerly “catchment area”) must be given to the Broken Will Water Board.

This Regulation is made in connection with the staged repeal of subordinate

legislation under Part 3 of the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989.
