Explanatory Statement – Instrument 2015/2
The Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development approved the allocations for the new Roads to Recovery programme, to run from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2019, on 12 September 2014 (see Roads to Recovery List 2014 Instrument No. 1).
Under s.88(3) of the National Land Transport Act 2015, the Minister may vary the Roads to Recovery List to update the name of a person or body specified in the List.
On 1 January 2015, the (Victorian) Department of Environment and Primary Industries, which was responsible for the roads on French Island, was renamed as the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. The new body has responsibility for roads on French Island and the instrument updates the list to reflect the change of name of the funding recipient.
There is no change to the funding amount for the funding recipient.
