NOTES

1. Notified in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette on 23 December 1993.

2. Ordinance  No. 5, 1992 as amended by No. 10, 1992; No. 3, 1993, No. 8, 1993, No. 9, 1993 and No. 10, 1993.

Overview

The Applied Laws (Implementation) (Amendment) Ordinance (No. 3) 1993 was enacted in 1993 by the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, acting on the advice of the Federal Executive Council, under the authority of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Act 1955. This ordinance aimed to amend the Applied Laws (Implementation) Ordinance 1992, which had previously incorporated various Western Australian laws into the legal framework of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The primary purpose of this amendment was to adjust the implementation dates for the suspension of certain applied laws, extending them from 1 January 1994 to 1 January 1995, and to update the list of suspended applied laws to better align with the legislative needs and circumstances of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

Scope and Application

The Applied Laws (Implementation) (Amendment) Ordinance (No. 3) 1993, made under the authority of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Act 1955, amends the Applied Laws (Implementation) Ordinance 1992. This legislation applies to the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands and serves to implement certain laws from Western Australia in the Territory, subject to specified amendments and suspensions. The Ordinance specifically suspends the application of several Western Australian laws, including those relating to agriculture, building and construction, financial institutions, and occupational health and safety, among others, with the suspension date extended from 1 January 1994 to 1 January 1995. The scope of the Ordinance is confined to the particular laws listed in its schedule, which are designed to be applicable within the Territory's jurisdiction, reflecting the legislative intent to tailor Western Australian laws to the local context of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The Ordinance does not explicitly state any exclusions or exemptions, nor does it extend or restrict application through subordinate instruments within the text provided.

Key Provisions

The Applied Laws (Implementation) (Amendment) Ordinance (No. 3) 1993 amends the Applied Laws (Implementation) Ordinance 1992, which specifies the application of certain Western Australian laws to the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The main sections of this amendment ordinance involve updating the dates for the suspension of specific applied laws, originally set to take effect on 1 January 1994, to 1 January 1995 instead (sections 4 and 5). Additionally, the ordinance revises Schedule 3 to include a comprehensive list of the Western Australian laws that are to be suspended, replacing the previous schedule (section 6). Entities and individuals within the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands must comply with the requirements set out in the amended ordinance. This includes adhering to the updated suspension dates for the specified Western Australian laws and ensuring that their practices are in line with the new schedule of suspended laws. Any party that fails to comply with these provisions may face legal repercussions as outlined in the primary legislation or any related laws. The Act does not explicitly outline specific offences, penalties, or consequences for breaches of the amended provisions. However, non-compliance with legislative requirements in the Territory can often lead to legal actions under relevant laws, which may include fines or other penalties. The exact penalties would depend on the specific laws being contravened and would be in accordance with the legal frameworks applicable to the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
