Overview

The Statutory Rules 1962 No. 35, Regulations Under the Post and Telegraph Act 1901-1961, were enacted to amend the existing telephone regulations, ensuring they remain up to date and aligned with the needs of the telecommunications sector. These regulations were introduced to address the need for periodic updates to the administrative framework governing telephone services in Australia, facilitating the smooth operation of the telecommunications industry. Enacted by the Governor-General in and over the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, the primary policy objective of these regulations is to maintain an effective and efficient postal and telecommunications system. The amendments outlined in these regulations are intended to streamline and update the regulatory framework to better support the evolving requirements of the industry and the public.

Scope and Application

The Regulations under the Post and Telegraph Act 1901-1961, made on 3rd May 1962, pertain to amendments of the Telephone Regulations, focusing primarily on geographic and locational changes to telephone service areas. These Regulations apply to the Commonwealth of Australia and are specifically designed to modify the First and Second Schedules of the existing Telephone Regulations to align with current service areas and locations. The amendments involve the insertion, omission, and re-arrangement of various locations within the schedules, ensuring that the regulatory framework accurately reflects the current service areas of telephone exchanges. There are no stated exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds in these Regulations; instead, they meticulously adjust the details of existing areas to maintain an up-to-date and accurate regulatory environment. The scope of the Regulations is confined to the administrative adjustments of the schedules, and they do not extend or restrict application through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The Regulations under the Post and Telegraph Act 1901-1961, dated 3 May 1962, primarily amend the existing Telephone Regulations, specifically as outlined in the First and Second Schedules. These amendments involve changes to various locations listed in the schedules, affecting the service areas and locations relevant to telephone services. The regulations are set to take effect on 14 May 1962. These Regulations impose specific obligations on entities involved in telephone services. They require updates to the service area listings to reflect changes in locations, ensuring that the information remains current and accurate. The changes include inserting, omitting, or replacing location names to ensure that the listings accurately reflect the current service areas. For breaches of these Regulations, the Act provides for certain penalties and consequences. While specific penalties are not detailed within the text, it is typical for breaches of statutory regulations to incur fines, and in severe cases, additional administrative or legal actions may be taken. The exact penalties would be determined according to the severity of the breach and applicable laws.
