EXPLANATORY STATEMENT – INSTRUMENT 2019/3
The Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development determined allocations for the Roads to Recovery Program, to run from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2024, on 31 October 2018 (see Roads to Recovery List 2019). The list was amended by Instrument No. 2019/2 on 1 July 2019.
Subsection 88(2) of the National Land Transport Act 2014 (the NLT Act) allows the Minister to vary the List, where the Minister considers that one or more bodies will become responsible for part of an area, to direct some of the amount to that body.
This instrument varies the allocation, of both the Armidale Regional Council and the Inverell Shire Council, to reflect an agreed split of funds due to a boundary change.
Subsection 88(3) of the National Land Transport Act 2014 (the NLT Act) allows the Minister to vary the List to correct an error or update the name of a body specified in the List to ensure the funding is provided to the correct organisation.
This instrument remedies an administrative error that the previous instrument (2019/2) did not give effect to the approved change to Schedule 2, which is the amount allocated to Western Australia.
The Instrument commences on 31 July 2019.
