to regulation 15A. Subregulation (1)(a) is to be amended to more accurately describe the permission being given by the Authority (ie: authorising the discharge waste in the Marine Park). A link to the penalties and provisions of section 38J of the principal Act is to be established by new subregulation (4).
Regulation 19A holds a person responsible for certain offences committed by their employees or agents. This matter is now covered by section 64 of the principal Act and therefore this regulation is to be repealed.
Regulation 19B refers to offences involving vessels or aircraft and holds the master or person in charge of the vessel or aircraft and the owner responsible for certain offences committed in the Marine Park. This matter is now covered by section 38K of the principal Act and therefore this regulation is to be repealed.
Regulation 19D refers to the circumstances in which a person may apply to renew a permission issued by the Authority. This regulation is amended to include a reference to permissions granted by the Authority to use underwater breathing apparatus or a power-head spear in unzoned areas.
Regulation 20 refers to the Authority’s power to suspend its permission to carry on certain activities or to vary the conditions that apply to the granting of its permission in the unzoned area. This regulation is to be amended to omit the reference to regulation 15 (to be repealed) and to insert a reference to regulation 15D (which relates to permission granted to discharge wastes in the Marine Park).
Regulation 21 refers to the Authority’s power to revoke its permission to carry on certain activities in an unzoned area of the Marine Park. This regulation is to be amended to omit the reference to regulation 15 (to be repealed) and to insert a reference to regulation 15D (which relates to permission granted to discharge wastes in the Marine Park).
Regulation 22 refers to reconsideration and review of the Authority’s decisions. References to the repealed regulation 15 are to be omitted and replaced with a reference to regulation 15D. The reference to regulation 18 is to be omitted as this regulation prohibits certain activities rather than empowers the Authority to make a decision about such activities and therefore, a reference to regulation 18 is not relevant to a review of a decision by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
