Overview

The States Grants (Advanced Education) Act (No. 2) 1972 was enacted by the Australian Parliament to provide financial assistance to the states for advanced education. This Act was designed to amend the States Grants (Advanced Education) Act 1969–1971 by providing specific grants for recurrent expenditure for the year 1972, as well as to make changes in the names of certain colleges of advanced education. The policy objective of the Act was to support advanced education institutions across the states, ensuring that these institutions received necessary funding to maintain and improve their educational services and facilities. The Act specified the amount of grants to be provided to various colleges of advanced education based on their qualifying amounts and set maximum grant amounts for each institution. Additionally, it updated the names of certain colleges as listed in the Second Schedule of the Principal Act to reflect any changes in their official titles. This amendment aimed to ensure the accurate identification and administration of grants to the appropriate institutions.

Scope and Application

The States Grants (Advanced Education) Act (No. 2) 1972 applies to educational institutions, specifically colleges of advanced education, within the participating states of Australia. It outlines financial assistance provided by the Commonwealth to these institutions for recurrent expenditure in the year 1972. The Act specifies the qualifying amounts and maximum grants for various colleges in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania. The Act amends the States Grants (Advanced Education) Act 1969–1971 by omitting certain sections and inserting new ones, particularly altering the allocation of funds for specific projects. Additionally, the Act updates the names of certain colleges to reflect their current designations. The legislation does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds for its application, and its scope is limited to the financial assistance provided for advanced education within the participating states as outlined in the Act and its schedules. The Act's application may be extended or restricted through subordinate instruments, although this is not explicitly detailed in the provided text.

Key Provisions

The main operative sections of the States Grants (Advanced Education) (No. 2) No. 127 of 1972, referred to as the Act, pertain to the grant of financial assistance to the states for advanced education. Section 1 provides the title and citation of the Act and references the Principal Act, which is the States Grants (Advanced Education) Act 1969–1971, as amended. Section 2 establishes the commencement date of the Act as 1 January 1972. The First and Second Schedules detail amendments to the Principal Act, including modifications to funding allocations for various educational institutions, and adjustments to the names of certain colleges of advanced education. The Act imposes specific obligations and requirements on the parties it governs. It mandates that the Commonwealth of Australia provide financial assistance to the states for advanced education, as outlined in the amended Principal Act. The Act also requires that the funding allocations for various colleges and institutions, as specified in the amended schedules, be adhered to. Furthermore, it necessitates that changes in the names of the colleges of advanced education, as listed in the Second Schedule, be recognised for the purposes of the amended Principal Act. Breach of the Act or failure to comply with its requirements can result in various civil or criminal consequences. While the Act itself does not explicitly detail specific offences, penalties, or consequences, any breaches of the Principal Act, as amended by this Act, could potentially lead to legal actions or repercussions as stipulated within the broader legislative framework governing financial assistance and education in Australia. The maximum penalties for breaches of related Acts would apply, although these are not specified in the text of this particular Act.
