Overview

The Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014 Determination of an Exclusion Period for the Green Zone for Financial Year 2016-2017 was enacted to determine the exclusion periods for the green zone within the Woomera Prohibited Area for the specified financial year. This legislative instrument was issued under the authority of the Minister for Defence and was made by Chris Birrer, Acting First Assistant Secretary Strategic Policy, on 30 March 2016. The determination specifies certain periods during which the green zone is subject to exclusion, as outlined in the schedule of the instrument. This legislation aims to ensure proper management and control within the Woomera Prohibited Area, particularly in relation to the green zone, thereby maintaining safety and operational efficiency. The Act was registered on 30 March 2016 and came into force on the same date, with subsequent amendments registered and effective from 19 August 2016 and 27 October 2016 respectively.

Scope and Application

The Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014 Determination of an Exclusion Period for the Green Zone for Financial Year 2016-2017 applies specifically to the Green Zone within the Woomera Prohibited Area, which is designated under section 6 of the Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014. This legislation pertains to the exclusion periods for the Green Zone, effectively determining the periods during which certain activities may be restricted or permitted within this zone. The Act applies to all persons and entities within the geographical boundaries of the Woomera Prohibited Area in South Australia, which is a Commonwealth-controlled area. There are no stated exclusions or exemptions in this particular legislative instrument, though broader exclusions or exemptions may be outlined in the primary Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014. The application of the Act may be extended or restricted through subordinate instruments, which are not detailed in this specific compilation but can be accessed on the Legislation Register.

Key Provisions

The Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014 Determination of an Exclusion Period for the Green Zone for Financial Year 2016-2017 sets out specific dates during which the Green Zone within the Woomera Prohibited Area is off-limits. Section 8(1) of the Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014 empowers the Minister for Defence to determine these exclusion periods. The exclusion periods for the Green Zone in the Financial Year 2016-2017 have been set for two distinct periods: 26 February 2017 to 4 March 2017, and 5 March 2017 to 11 March 2017 (Schedule). These dates are crucial for those who may need to access the area, as entry during these times is prohibited. The Act imposes specific obligations on individuals and entities that must comply with the exclusion periods. Any person or entity planning to enter the Woomera Prohibited Area, particularly the Green Zone, must ensure that their activities do not coincide with the specified exclusion periods. This requirement is critical for maintaining the security and integrity of the area during sensitive operations or exercises. Failure to adhere to these periods could result in legal repercussions, as the Act strictly governs access to the designated zones within the Woomera Prohibited Area. Violations of the exclusion periods outlined in the Act may lead to serious consequences. Although the specific penalties are not detailed within the text, breaches of the Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014 could result in criminal or civil penalties under Australian law. Generally, unauthorised entry into a prohibited area can attract penalties such as fines or imprisonment, depending on the severity of the breach and the intent behind it. Compliance with the exclusion periods is, therefore, essential to avoid any legal ramifications.
