Overview

The Statutory Rules 1962, No. 52 were enacted to amend the existing Telephone Regulations, and they came into operation on 2 July 1962. These amendments were made under the authority of the Post and Telegraph Act 1901–1961. The principal objective of these amendments is to update and refine the geographical and locational details within the regulatory framework governing telephone services. The changes are intended to ensure accurate and current information for the efficient management and provision of telephone services across the specified areas. The amendments were made on 28 June 1962 and notified in the Commonwealth Gazette on 29 June 1962.

Scope and Application

The Statutory Rules 1962, No. 52, made under the Post and Telegraph Act 1901–1961, amends the First and Second Schedules of the Telephone Regulations. These regulations affect various geographic locations and their associated areas by modifying the listed names and locations to reflect updated or corrected data. The changes include the addition, omission, or rearrangement of specific entries to accurately represent the localities and their respective areas. This legislative instrument applies to the Commonwealth of Australia, impacting telecommunications services and infrastructure within the specified regions. The amendments come into operation on the second day of July, 1962, and are intended to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information contained in the Telephone Regulations. There are no stated exclusions or exemptions in these regulations, and the scope is limited to the specified amendments in the schedules.

Key Provisions

The Statutory Rules 1962, No. 52, which were made under the Post and Telegraph Act 1901–1961, amend the First and Second Schedules to the Telephone Regulations. These amendments are detailed in the schedules attached to the rules and became effective on 2 July 1962. The First Schedule contains a series of amendments to the geographical areas covered under the Telephone Regulations, making various insertions, omissions, and substitutions of place names to ensure accurate and updated information. For instance, it corrects the listings for places like Katamatite, Shepparton, Bajool, Raglan, Daymar, and others, ensuring that the regulatory framework reflects the current administrative divisions and localities. The Second Schedule focuses on correcting and updating the references to certain towns and regions within the regulatory framework, such as replacing “Castlemaine” with “Castlemaine-Maryborough” and updating other place names to maintain accuracy and relevance. These regulations impose obligations on telecommunications providers and local authorities to ensure that the updated geographical data is implemented in their systems and documentation. They must ensure that the new listings and corrections are accurately reflected in their records and services to maintain compliance with the regulatory requirements. Additionally, these amendments necessitate that relevant databases, maps, and other reference materials used by the telecommunications industry are updated to reflect these changes, ensuring consistency and accuracy in service provision and regulatory oversight. Failure to comply with these amendments could result in inaccuracies in service delivery and regulatory non-compliance. Although the rules do not explicitly state penalties for non-compliance, breaches of telecommunications regulations generally attract significant fines and sanctions under the broader legislative framework governing the industry. Therefore, entities involved in telecommunications must ensure that they adhere to these amendments to avoid potential legal and financial repercussions.
