noteConsistency of terminologyItems [1], [3]–[5] and [16] of the proposed amendments amend
various provisions of the Children and
Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 (the Act) for consistency
with other provisions of the Act.Items [1] and [5] replace references to the “welfare”
of a child or young person in certain provisions of the Act with references to
the “safety, welfare and well-being” of the child or young
person.Items [3] and [4] replace certain references to “care and
protection” with references to “care responsibility”. (A
person who has “care responsibility” in relation to a child or
young person has the authority to exercise, in relation to the child or young
person concerned, the functions specified in section 157 of the
Act.)Item [16] replaces references to children and young persons in
need of “care” to those in need of “care and
protection”.Meaning of “parent”Section 3 of the Act defines parent of a child or
young person as “a person having parental responsibility for” the
child or young person. Items [7], [12] and [13] of the proposed amendments
replace references to persons having parental responsibility for children or
young persons with the defined term “parent”.Items [2], [9]–[11] and [14] of the proposed amendments
clarify the meaning of parent in
provisions of the Act in which that term carries a meaning other than that
given it by the definition in section 3.Grounds on which care orders may be madeSection 71 of the Act sets out the grounds on which the
Children’s Court may make a care order in relation
to a child or young person. Item [6] of the proposed amendments makes it clear
that such an order may be made if the child or young person is deemed, under
section 171 (1) of the Act, to be in need of care and protection (because
living in unauthorised out-of-home care despite a request from the
Director-General of the Department of Community Services that the child or
young person be removed from that care).Requirement of Children’s Court to consider care
planAt present, section 80 of the Act requires the Children’s
Court to consider a care
plan presented to it by the Director-General of the Department of
Community Services before it makes “an order” for the removal of a
child from the care and protection of his or her parents or for the allocation
of parental responsibility in respect of the child. However, section 78 of the
Act requires the Director-General to present such a plan to the
Children’s Court “before final orders are
made”.Item [8] of the proposed amendments amends section 80 so as to
render that section consistent with section 78.Young personsItem [15] of the proposed amendments extends the opening words of
section 177 (1) of the Act to young persons for consistency with the remainder
of that subsection.Interstate wardsItem [17] of the proposed amendments replaces a reference to
“guardianship”, in relation to interstate wards, with a reference
to “parental responsibility”.Statute law revisionItem [18] of the proposed amendments renders section 265 (3)
consistent with section 265 (2). The latter subsection was repealed and
re-enacted by the Children and Young Persons
(Care and Protection) Amendment (Permanency Planning) Act
2001.1.2 Christ Church
Cathedral, Newcastle, Cemetery Act 1966 No 20Section 5 Vesting of
land in Second Schedule in Corporate TrusteesOmit “and such land shall not be sold, exchanged or
otherwise dealt with absolutely or mortgaged or leased without the consent of
the Minister” from section 5 (2).Explanatory
noteSection 5 of the Christ Church
Cathedral, Newcastle, Cemetery Act 1966 provides that certain
land is vested in the Trustees of Church Property for the Diocese of Newcastle
and is to be held by the Trustees for the use, benefit or purposes of the
Church of England. Section 5 (2) prevents the Trustees from selling,
exchanging or otherwise dealing absolutely with, or mortgaging or leasing,
such land without the consent of the Minister.The proposed amendment removes that
restriction.1.3 Conveyancing Act
1919 No 6[1] Section 146 Recovery of annual sums charged on
landOmit section 146 (2). Insert instead: (2) If any such annual sum (or part of it) is unpaid 21 or more days
after it was due to be paid, the person to whom it is due may recover the
annual sum (and any arrears of that sum), from the person in possession of the
land, as a debt in any court of competent
jurisdiction.[2] Section 177AInsert after section 177: 177A No distress for rent(1) Any common law right of a person to levy distress for rent is
abolished.(2) Nothing in this section affects any other right of a person to
whom rent is due to recover the rent from the person liable to pay the
rent.Explanatory
noteSection 2 (1) of the Landlord and Tenant Amendment
(Distress Abolition) Act 1930 (the Abolition Act)
provides as follows: “After the commencement of this Act no distress for
rent shall be levied or made.”. (“Distress for rent” refers
to the act of a landlord seizing the goods of a tenant whose rent is in
arrears.) Section 5 of the Abolition Act preserves the right of a person to
whom rent is owed to recover the rent by civil action. As section 146 (2) of
the Conveyancing Act 1919
makes provision for the levying of distress for rent, section 4 of the
Abolition Act provides, “in lieu of the power of distress”
contained in section 146 (2), for the recovery of the sum due under section
146 as a debt in a court of competent jurisdiction.The Abolition Act is repealed by Schedule 3. Item [1] of the
proposed amendments preserves the effect of section 4 of that Act, and item
[2] preserves the effects of sections 2 (1) and 5 of that
Act.1.4 Crown Lands Act
1989 No 6Section 106A Limits on
compensation payable to reserve trustsInsert “the trust’s interest in” after
“market value of” in section 106A (4) (b).Explanatory
noteSection 106A of the Crown Lands
Act 1989 (which was inserted in 2001) sets out the rules for
the determination of compensation payable to reserve trusts when the whole or
part of a reserve is compulsorily acquired.At present, section 106A (4) provides that, for the purposes of a
determination of an amount of compensation:(a) the Crown is taken to be the holder in fee simple of the land
being acquired or vested, or over which the easement is vested,
(b) section 56 (2) of the Land
Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 applies as if
the land value of improvements (including structures) erected or carried out
by the trust on the land is the market value of the
Section 56 (2) of the Land
Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 provides that,
when the market value of land is being assessed for the purpose of paying
compensation to a number of former owners of the land, the sum of the market
values of each interest in the land must not (except with Ministerial
approval) exceed the market value of the land at the date of
acquisition.The proposed amendment removes any suggestion that market value of
the land concerned is to be taken, for the purposes of section 56 (2), to be
limited to the value of improvements erected or carried out on the land by the
reserve trust constituted in respect of the reserve. The amendment makes it
clear that the value of those improvements is to be taken to be the market
value of the trust’s interest in the land, rather than the
full market value of the land.The amendment does not affect the determination of the
compensation payable to the trust.1.5 Dental Practice Act
transitional provisionsInsert after clause 3 (2): (3) Despite subclause (1), a person who, immediately before the
commencement of section 106, held office as an elected member of the old Board
commences a new term of office, on the commencement of that section, as an
elected member of the new Board (being a term that is, despite clause 4 (1)
(b) of Schedule 2, equivalent to the balance of his or her term as an elected
member of the old Board).(4) Nothing in subclause (3) prevents a member who holds office as an
from being removed from office under clause 6 of Schedule
2.CommencementThe amendment to the Dental
Practice Act 2001 commences on the commencement of section 106
of that Act.Explanatory
noteClause 3 of Schedule 7 to the Dental Practice Act 2001 (the 2001 Act) provides
that a person who, immediately before the repeal of the Dentists Act 1989 (the 1989 Act) (which is
effected by the 2001 Act), held office as a member of the Dental Board
constituted by the 1989 Act (the old Board) ceases to hold
office on that repeal but is eligible (if otherwise qualified) to be appointed
as a member of the Dental Board constituted by the 2001 Act (the new Board). Both Boards
include 5 elected members and certain other specified persons nominated by the
Minister (eg an officer of the Department of Health or an employee of a
1997).It is intended to commence the 2001 Act in 2002, sometime after
July. Under the 1989 Act, an election for the purposes of the old Board is
required to be held in July 2002.The proposed amendment removes the necessity to conduct an
election under the 2001 Act shortly after the July 2002 election by providing
that the members elected to the old Board at that election are to serve the
balance of their terms (unless sooner removed by the Governor) as members of
the new Board. There is a similar provision in the Physiotherapists Act
2001.1.6 Energy Services
Corporations Act 1995 No 95Schedule 2 Supplementary
provisions concerning constitution and procedureOmit clause 1 (2) (c). Insert instead: (c) at least 2, and(i) in the case of Australian Inland Energy Water
noteClause 1 (2) of Schedule 2 to the Energy Services Corporations Act
1995 provides for the composition of the boards of directors
of energy services corporations. Clause 1 (2) (a) and (b) each provide for one
director. Clause 1 (2) (c) currently provides for “at least 2 and not
more than 5 other directors, to be appointed by the voting shareholders at
their discretion”.The proposed amendment amends clause 1 (2) (c) so as to permit the
appointment of an additional director to the board of Australian Inland Energy
Water Infrastructure.1.7 Environmental Planning
and Assessment Act 1979 No 203Schedule 6 Savings, transitional
and other provisionsInsert after clause 18: 18A Saving of assumed concurrences(1) A notification given under section 81 before 1 July 1998 and in
force immediately before that date is taken (until revoked) to be:(a) until 1 January 2001—a notice given under clause 51B of the
Regulation 1994, and
(b) on and from 1 January 2001—a notice given under clause 64 of
and Assessment Regulation 2000.
(2) This clause is taken to have commenced on 1 July
1998.Explanatory
noteUnder the Environmental
Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the Act), a council or other
consent authority is required, in certain circumstances, to obtain the
concurrence of another person (a concurrence
authority) before determining a development application by granting
a consent. Clause 64 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation
2000 enables a concurrence authority to inform a consent
authority, by notice in writing, that concurrence may be assumed (subject to
such qualifications or conditions as are specified in the notice). Any such
notice may be amended or revoked by a further notice.This “assumed concurrence” provision was earlier
contained in section 81 of the Act. When Part 4 of the Act (which includes
section 81) was repealed and re-enacted on 1 July 1998, the provision was
inserted as clause 51B in the Environmental
Planning and Assessment Regulation 1994. On the repeal of that
Regulation on 1 January 2001 the provision was carried over into the Environmental Planning and
Assessment Regulation 2000 as clause 64.The proposed amendment provides that notifications that were given
under section 81 in its previous form and were in force immediately before the
repeal and re-enactment of that section are taken to be notices given under
the Regulations.1.8 Environmental Trust Act
1998 No 82[1] Section 8 Functions of TrustOmit “conditionally” from section 8 (a). Insert
instead “unconditionally”.[2] Section 15 Provisions relating to grantsInsert after section 15 (3): (3A) The Trust may, by further notice in writing to the grantee, vary
any condition to which the grant is subject (other than a condition prescribed
by the regulations), including any condition previously varied under this
subsection.[3] Section 17 Recovery of grantsInsert “(or, if the condition has been varied under section
15 (3A), the condition as so varied)” after “in accordance with
the condition”.Explanatory
error.Section 15 of the Environmental
Trust Act 1998 provides (among other things) that any grant
made from the Environmental Trust Fund:(a) is to be made subject to a condition that the grant is to be
expended within 3 years after it is made, and
(b) is subject to any relevant condition prescribed by the
(c) is subject to such other conditions as are specified by the
Environmental Trust by notice in writing to the grantee on or after the making
Section 15 (4) enables the Environmental Trust to waive the
application of any provision of section 15 in a particular case if the Trust
thinks special circumstances exist that justify its doing so. However, there
is no power for the Trust to vary a condition to which a grant is
subject under that section.Item [2] of the proposed amendments confers that power (except in
relation to conditions that apply to the grant because they are prescribed by
the regulations). Item [3] makes a consequential
amendment.1.9 Fair Trading Act
1987 No 68[1] Section 25N MembershipOmit “14 members” from section 25N (1).Insert instead “16 members”.[2] Section 25N (2) (b)Omit “13 persons”. Insert instead “15
persons”.CommencementThe amendment to the Fair
Trading Act 1987 commences on a day to be appointed by
noteSection 25M of the Fair Trading
Act 1987 establishes the Retirement Villages Advisory Council.
At present, that Council consists of 14 members, one of whom is the
Director-General of the Department of Fair Trading (or a nominee of the
Director-General) and the other 13 of whom are appointed by the
Minister.The proposed amendments increase the membership of the Council to
16 members.1.10 Freight Rail
Corporation (Sale) Act 2001 No 35[1] Section 14 Special leasesOmit section 14 (2) (c). Insert instead: (c) any person at the direction of a person who has a contractual
right to require FreightCorp (as converted to a corporation sole under section
15) to grant a new sublease or sub-sublease of property that is the subject of
a special lease.
[2] Section 15 Dissolution or conversion of FreightCorp after
saleInsert after section 15 (5): (6) The corporation sole constituted by the Treasurer under this
section is a statutory body representing the Crown.Explanatory
noteSpecial leasesThe Freight Rail Corporation
(Sale) Act 2001 (the Act) provides for
the sale of FreightCorp’s assets, rights and liabilities. Certain
special leases are excluded from sale and remain vested in FreightCorp, which
is converted under section 15 to a corporation sole constituted by the
Treasurer. Section 14 (2) of the Act allows the Treasurer to grant a sublease
or sub-sublease of the property that is the subject of a special lease, but
only to FreightCorp’s purchaser or a related body corporate, or (under
paragraph (c)) to a person to whom FreightCorp’s purchaser has
subsequently transferred the whole or a substantial part of
FreightCorp’s assets, rights and liabilities.Item [1] of the proposed amendments replaces paragraph (c) with a
paragraph allowing the Treasurer to grant a sublease or sub-sublease under
that paragraph to any person at the direction of a person who has a
contractual right to require FreightCorp to grant a new sublease or
sub-sublease of the property.Corporation sole represents CrownItem [2] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the
corporation sole to which FreightCorp is converted is a statutory body
representing the Crown.1.11 Land Tax Management
Act 1956 No 26Section 47 Land tax to
be first charge on landOmit section 47 (1B). Insert instead: (1B) The application fee for a certificate is to be paid in such manner
as may be approved by the Chief Commissioner.Explanatory
noteThe proposed amendment repeals and re-enacts section 47 (1B) of
the Act so as to omit a provision that allows an application fee for a
certificate under section 47 of the Act (a land tax certificate) to be paid by
way of “affixing” a duty stamp to the application form and by
cancelling the stamp as specified in the provision.Adhesive duty stamps are being abolished (see section 290 of the
1997).1.12 Landlord and Tenant
(Amendment) Act 1948 No 25[1] Whole ActOmit “office of the Rent Controller” wherever
occurring.Insert instead “Department”.[2] Whole Act (except section 4 (2), definition of “the
Controller” in section 8 (1) and section 11)Omit “Rent Controller” wherever occurring (except
where occurring in the expression “office of the Rent
Controller”).Insert instead
“Director-General”.[3] Whole Act (except section 4 (2), definition of “the
Controller” in section 8 (1) and section 11)Omit “Controller” wherever occurring (except where
occurring in the expression “office of the Rent
“Director-General”.[4] Section 8 DefinitionsInsert in alphabetical order in section 8 (1): Department means the Department of Fair
the Department.[5] Section 8 (1), definition of “the
Controller”Omit the definition.[6] Section 11 Rent ControllerOmit the section.[7] Section 12Omit the heading to the section. Insert instead:12 Powers of Director-General and Fair Rents
BoardsExplanatory
noteThe proposed amendments abolish the position of Rent Controller
and confer the functions of that position on the Director-General of the
Department of Fair Trading. The proposed amendments reflect current
administrative practice. (Section 6 (1) of the Landlord and Tenant (Rental Bonds) Act
1977, which previously referred to the Rent Controller, now
refers to the Director-General of the Department of Fair Trading
instead.)1.13 Liquor Act
1982 No 147[1] Section 72 Constitution of BoardInsert after section 72 (1): (1A) To avoid doubt, it is declared that a licensing magistrate whose
appointment as a Magistrate under the Local
Courts Act 1982 is an appointment for a particular term of
office (as referred to in section 13 of that Act) is not an ex-officio member
of the Board.[2] Section 75 Delegation of powers etc of BoardOmit “or to a Magistrate,” from section 75
(1).Insert instead “an officer or temporary employee (within the
meaning of the Public Sector Management Act
1988) of a Government Department or a
Magistrate”.[3] Section 145C Application of certain ActsInsert “, the Crimes
(Local Courts Appeal and Review) Act 2001 and the Local Courts Act 1982” after
“Criminal Procedure Act
1986” in section 145C (1).CommencementItem [3] of the proposed amendments commences, or is taken to have
commenced, on the commencement of Schedule 2.138 [13] to the Justices Legislation Repeal and Amendment Act
noteMembership of Liquor Administration BoardSection 72 (1) of the Liquor
Act 1982 (the Act) constitutes the
Liquor Administration Board (the Board) and
provides that the ex-officio members of the Board are “the licensing
magistrates for the time being holding office under section
8”.Persons appointed under section 8 must be either Magistrates
(appointed under the Local Courts Act
1982) or persons eligible to be appointed as Magistrates. A
person who is not a Magistrate when appointed as a licensing magistrate
becomes, by virtue of the appointment, a Magistrate (see section 8 (4) of the
Act).Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the
ex-officio members of the Board do not include licensing magistrates whose
appointments as Magistrates are for limited tenure (“acting
Magistrates”).Delegation of functions of Liquor Administration
BoardAt present, section 75 (1) of the Act allows the Chairperson of
the Board to delegate the Board’s functions to a member or officer of
the Board or to a Magistrate. Item [2] of the proposed amendments permits its
functions to be delegated also to officers and temporary employees of
Government Departments without the necessity for those officers and temporary
employees to be officers of the Board. (Certain Government Departments provide
administrative and other support to the Board.)Application of certain ActsAt present, section 145C of the Act permits the regulations to
declare that specified provisions of the Justices Act 1902 apply to and in
respect of the Licensing Court (whether or not they would otherwise apply).
Amendment Act 2001 repeals the Justices Act 1902 and re-enacts many
of its provisions as provisions of the Crimes (Local Courts Appeal and Review) Act
2001, the Criminal
Procedure Act 1986 and the Local Courts Act
1982.The Justices Legislation Repeal
and Amendment Act 2001 amends section 145C so as to remove the
reference to the Justices Act
1902 and insert a reference to the Criminal Procedure Act 1986, but it
omits to include references to the other two Acts referred to above. Item [3]
of the proposed amendments repairs that omission.1.14 Marine Parks Act
1997 No 64Schedule 4 Declaration of
marine parksOmit “south-westerly” from paragraph (i) of Part
1.Insert instead
“north-westerly”.Explanatory
noteThe proposed amendment makes a minor correction to the description
of the area declared to be Jervis Bay Marine Park. It is clear from a map of
the Park that the description is incorrect.1.15 Mines Inspection Act
1901 No 75[1] Section 4 DefinitionsTransfer the definition of Chief Inspector
from the end of section 4 (1) to its correct position in alphabetical order in
that subsection.[2] Section 32 Appointment of inspectorsOmit section 32 (3).[3] Section 32AInsert after section 32: 32A Delegation by Chief InspectorThe Chief Inspector may, by instrument in writing, delegate to
another inspector any function conferred or imposed on the Chief Inspector by
or under this Act, other than this power of
delegation.Explanatory
noteDelegation by Chief Inspector of MinesAt present, section 32 (3) of the Mines Inspection Act 1901 (the Act) has the effect
of allowing the Chief Inspector of Mines to delegate his or her functions to
the Deputy Chief Inspector of Mines and to Senior Inspectors of
Mines.Item [2] of the proposed amendments repeals section 32 (3), and
item [3] inserts a new section 32A which confers a power of delegation on the
Chief Inspector in the standard form (mirroring sections 5D (1) and 76A (1),
which confer powers of delegation on general managers of mines and the
Director-General of the Department of Mineral Resources, respectively). The
new section also extends the Chief Inspector’s power of delegation so as
to permit delegation to any inspector appointed under the Public Sector Management Act 1988
for the purposes of the Act, not merely the Deputy Chief Inspector of Mines
and Senior Inspectors of Mines.Statute law revisionItem [1] of the proposed amendments relocates a definition in
section 4 (1) of the Act to its correct position in that
subsection.1.16 Mining Act
1992 No 29[1] Section 365 Disclosure of information etcInsert at the end of section 365 (1) (e): , or(f) under the Freedom of Information
[2] Schedule 6 Savings, transitional and other
provisionsOmit “affect” where secondly occurring in clause
77.Insert instead “effect”.Explanatory
noteDisclosure of informationAt present, section 365 (1) of the Mining Act 1992 prohibits the
disclosure of information obtained in connection with the administration of
that Act unless the disclosure is made as specified in that subsection (for
example, with the consent of the person from whom the information was obtained
or with the concurrence of the Minister).Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the
information concerned may also be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act 1989
despite the other restrictions of section 365 (1).CorrectionItem [2] of the proposed amendments corrects a typographical
error.1.17 Motor Accidents
Compensation Act 1999 No 41Section 10AInsert after section 10: 10A Treatment of certain vehicles for purposes of third-party
policy(1) A motor vehicle that is:(a) subject to a conditional registration under the Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Act
(b) designed principally for use otherwise than on a road,
(c) a motor vehicle, or a motor vehicle of a class, prescribed by the
is taken, for the purposes of a third-party policy under this Act, to be
subject to an unregistered vehicle permit and not to a conditional
registration.(2) However, a regulation made for the purposes of this section does
not affect a third-party policy of insurance under this Act that is in force
in respect of any particular vehicle at the time that the regulation is made.
This subsection is subject to subsection (3).(3) The first regulation made for the purposes of this section may
provide that subsection (1) applies, from the commencement of the regulation,
to a vehicle referred to in subsection (1) (a)–(c) that became subject
to a conditional registration on or after 20 May 2002 and before the
commencement of the regulation.Explanatory
noteA third-party policy of insurance under the Motor Accidents Compensation Act
1999 (the
Act) must be in the terms set out in section 10 of the Act. The
terms set out in that section provide cover for the owners and drivers of
certain motor vehicles only while the vehicles are used or operated on a
road (as defined in
the Act). Owners and drivers of other motor vehicles are covered for the use
and operation of the vehicles whether or not on a road. The motor vehicles in
respect of which the lesser cover applies are those to which paragraph (b) of
the terms of the policy applies—that is, vehicles that are subject to
unregistered vehicle permits (UVPs) under the Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Act
1997. UVPs are commonly issued in respect of such motor
vehicles as tractors and forklifts and the like.UVPs used to be issued for up to 12 months. Since 20 May 2002,
they have been issued for up to 28 days only. Vehicles that would normally be
subject to UVPs but are required for longer-term road use than 28 days are now
registered conditionally under the Road
Transport (Vehicle Registration) Act 1997. However, there is
nothing to prevent vehicles other than vehicles that are currently (or would
previously have been) subject to UVPs from being registered
conditionally.The proposed amendment provides that, for the purposes of
third-party policies of insurance under the Act, certain vehicles that are
subject to a conditional registration are to be taken to be subject to a UVP
and not to conditional registration. The vehicles concerned are those
that:(a) are designed principally for use otherwise than on a road,
(b) are prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of the
It is intended that the regulations will prescribe the kinds of
vehicles that are currently (or used to be) subject to UVPs. The proposed
amendment also provides for transitional arrangements in respect of vehicles
of that kind that have been conditionally registered since 20 May

licence under the Act is suspended “under section 20E” is taken to
be a person who does not hold a licence.Licences may also be suspended under sections 29K and 38B. Item
[1] of the proposed amendments replaces the reference in section 19 (4) to
licences suspended under section 20E by a reference to licences suspended
“under this Act”.Correction of cross-referencesItem [2] of the proposed amendments corrects incorrect
cross-references.Administrative Decisions Tribunal reviews of certain
decisionsSection 20F of the Act provides for the review by the
Administrative Decisions Tribunal of certain decisions of the Director-General
of the Department of Fair Trading under that Act, including decisions to
suspend or cancel a licence in force under the Act.Item [3] of the proposed amendments removes any doubt that a
suspension or cancellation under section 29K of the Act is so
reviewable.1.19 Motor Vehicle Repairs

“47U”.[2] Section 99 Harming threatened interstate faunaOmit section 99 (4).[3] Section 171 Authority to harm or pickOmit “taken or killed”, “taking or
killing” and “take or kill” from section 171
(1B).Insert instead, respectively, “harmed”,
“harming” and “harm”.Explanatory
noteCross-referenceItem [1] of the proposed amendments corrects an incorrect
cross-reference.RepealItem [2] of the proposed amendments repeals the superfluous
section 99 (4) of the National Parks and
Wildlife Act 1974 (the Act). The substance
of that subsection has been re-enacted as section 112G (5) (and the repealed
section 99 (1) (c), to which section 99 (4) refers, has been re-enacted as
section 112G (1)).“Harming” of faunaCertain amendments to the Act made by the Threatened Species Conservation Act
1995 replaced the concept of “taking or killing”
fauna with that of “harming” fauna. Item [3] of the proposed
amendments updates provisions containing the old
terminology.1.21 Pesticides Act
1999 No 80[1] Section 15 Using pesticide contrary to approved
labelOmit section 15 (3) (a).[2] Section 15 (3) (b)Omit “another version of”.Explanatory
noteAt present, section 15 (3) (a) of the Pesticides Act 1999 provides that it
is a defence in any proceedings against a person for the alleged offence of
using a registered pesticide in contravention of any instruction on an
approved label for the pesticide if the person establishes that he or she did
not contravene the relevant instructions on [any other] approved label for the
pesticide (regardless of whether or not the other approved label appeared on
the container for the pesticide that was used).The unintended consequence of this provision is that, once a label
has been approved, compliance with any more stringent requirements imposed by
a later approved label cannot be enforced if the user of the pesticide can
demonstrate that he or she complied with the lesser requirements of the
earlier approved label.Item [1] of the proposed amendments repeals section 15 (3) (a) so
as to remove this anomaly.Item [2] of the proposed amendments makes a consequential
amendment.The amendments do not affect the defence afforded by section 15
(3) (b). It is still a defence under that paragraph if the accused establishes
that he or she complied with the relevant instructions on an [earlier]
approved label for the pesticide, “being an approved label that was, at
the time of the alleged offence, affixed or attached to, or appeared on, the
container for the pesticide that was used”.1.22 Protection of the
Environment Operations Act 1997 No 156[1] Section 187 Appointment of authorised officersInsert after section 187 (2): (3) In addition, a regulatory authority that is a local council may
appoint any officer or employee of another local council (including a class of
such officers or employees) as an authorised officer for the purposes of this
Act in respect of the appointing local council’s
area.[2] Section 261 Certificate evidence of certain
mattersInsert after section 261 (2) (b): (b1) that specified premises were or were not, at a specified time or
during a specified period, the subject of a specified licence or a licence of
a specified kind,
noteAppointment of authorised officers by local
councilsAt present, section 187 (2) of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act
1997 allows a regulatory
authority (such as a local council) to appoint any officer or
employee of the authority as an authorised
officer for the purposes of the Act. Section 6 (4) of the Act makes
it clear that a local council (among other local authorities) may exercise any
function imposed on it under the Act only in or in relation to the local
council’s area.Some activities under the Act require action across local
government boundaries (for example, the activities of the Regional Illegal
Dumping Squad in Sydney’s west). To facilitate such activities, item [1]
of the proposed amendments enables a local council to appoint officers and
employees of other local councils (as well as its own officers and employees)
as authorised officers in relation to its area.Certificate evidenceItem [2] of the proposed amendments allows evidence as to the
licensing under the Act of specific premises to be given in proceedings under
the Act by way of a certificate signed by the Director-General of the EPA or
by an officer of the EPA designated in writing by the Director-General for the
purposes of Part 8.5 (Evidentiary provisions) of the
Act.1.23 Public Authorities
(Financial Arrangements) Act 1987 No 33Section 22A Statutory
guaranteeInsert “or 20U” after “section 16” in
section 22A (2).Explanatory
noteSection 22A of the Public
Authorities (Financial Arrangements) Act 1987 is a statutory
Government guarantee of the repayment of certain financial accommodation
obtained by public authorities and the payment of interest and other charges
relating to that financial accommodation. The section applies to a State owned
corporation only to the extent that the board of the corporation and the
voting shareholders agree in writing in accordance with section 16 of the
1989, which provides for the guarantee of the obligations of a
company State owned corporation.The proposed amendment makes the same provision in relation to
statutory State owned corporations. Under the amended provision, the
Government guarantee established by section 22A of the Public Authorities (Financial Arrangements) Act
1987 will apply to a statutory State owned corporation only to
the extent that the board of the corporation and the voting shareholders agree
in writing in accordance with section 20U of the State Owned Corporations Act 1989,
which is a parallel provision to section 16 of the State Owned Corporations Act 1989
providing for the guarantee of the obligations of statutory State owned
corporations.1.24 Real Property Act
1900 No 25[1] Section 96A DefinitionOmit “, 96F” from paragraph (a) of the definition of
search.[2] Section 96D Official search of computer folioInsert “, together with the particulars required by
subsection (2)” after “the time specified in the
certificate”.[3] Section 96D (2)Insert at the end of section 96D: (2) The certificate must also provide particulars of such of the
following as are held by the Registrar-General at the time specified in the
certificate:(a) any plan or dealing, whether registered or awaiting registration,
the registration of which requires or will require a change to be made in the
information recorded in the folio concerned,
(b) any caveat that purports to affect land comprised in the folio
concerned if information about the caveat is not recorded in that
[4] Section 96F Final search of computer folioOmit the section.[5] Section 133 Subrogation of rights to claim
compensationOmit “as co-defendant” from subsection
noteSearches of computer foliosIt is usual for a purchaser of land, before entering into the
contract to purchase, to obtain an official search of the computer folio of
Act 1900 (the Act) in relation to
the land concerned. Section 96D of the Act provides for such a search. It is
also usual for a later search (a final search) to be obtained as close as
possible to settlement of the purchase.Section 96F of the Act provides for a separate
“final” search of a computer folio. A certificate under that
section sets forth particulars of (among other things) dealings and caveats
that affect the land to which the certificate relates that have been
registered or entered in the Register during the period specified in the
certificate, and unregistered dealings, caveats and plans held by the
Registrar-General that purport to affect the land.In practice, section 96F is not used. The final search that is
obtained prior to settlement is a second search under section 96D. It is the
practice of the Registrar-General to list unregistered dealings on
certificates under section 96D. Items [2] and [3] of the proposed amendments
amend section 96D so as to make that practice mandatory, so allowing the
repeal (by item [4] of the proposed amendments) of the unused section
96F.Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes an amendment that is
consequential on item [4].Joining of partiesCourt proceedings for compensation in respect of a compensable
loss under Part 14 of the Act are taken against the
Registrar-General as nominal defendant. The Registrar-General is subrogated to
the claimant in respect of the claimant’s rights against any person
against whom the claimant has a cause of action in respect of the loss .
Section 133 (4) of the Act provides that the Registrar-General “may join
any person as co-defendant in any court proceedings if of the opinion that the
claimant has a cause of action against that person in respect of the
compensable loss to which the proceedings relate”. However, it may be
more appropriate for the Registrar-General (standing in the shoes of the
claimant) to file a cross-claim against the party to be joined. To permit
this, item [5] of the proposed amendments removes the words “as
co-defendant” from section 133 (4).1.25 Strata Schemes
procedure of owners corporationInsert at the end of clause 23: However, a unanimous resolution of an owners corporation dealing
with common property may be amended by a special
resolution.Explanatory
noteIn June 2001, the Strata Schemes
(Freehold Development) Act 1973 and the Strata Schemes (Leasehold Development) Act
special resolution rather than unanimous resolution.The proposed amendment makes it clear that a unanimous resolution
of an owners corporation dealing with common property may be amended by a
special resolution.1.26 Sydney Opera House

provides (among other things) that:(a) The Sydney Opera House Trust is to consist of 9 members appointed
by the Governor, and

year following that in which the appointment is made, and
(c) a trustee is to hold office for 3 years (but is eligible for
re-appointment, although not for 4 consecutive
Five trustees constitute a quorum (section 11 of the
Act).Item [2] of the proposed amendments increases the number of
trustees from 9 to 10. Item [4] increases the number required for a quorum
from 5 to 6.Item [7] of the proposed amendments inserts a Schedule of savings
and transitional provisions in the Act in consequence of the provision for an
additional trustee. Item [5] inserts a formal provision giving effect to the
new Schedule. Item [6] numbers the existing Schedule to the Act in consequence
of the insertion of the new Schedule, and item [1] makes a further
consequential amendment.Statute law revisionItem [3] of the proposed amendments is an unrelated amendment that
replaces obsolete references with a term that is defined in the Interpretation Act

consist of:(a) the Chief Executive, and
(b) not fewer than 4 and not more than 7 members appointed by the
Minister, one of whom is to be a nominee of the NSW Farmers’ Association
and one of whom is to be a nominee of the Nature Conservation Council of New
Item [1] of the proposed amendments amends section 7 (2) (b) so as
to provide for an additional member of the Board. The additional member is to
be an elected councillor, selected by the Minister, of a local government area
within the catchment area.Section 7 (4) of the Act requires the Minister to advertise
publicly for nominations for appointment to the Board. Item [2] of the
proposed amendments makes it clear that that requirement extends to apply in
respect of the appointment of a person who is not a nominee of any body
specified in the section.1.28 Workers Compensation
Act 1987 No 70Section 82 Publication
of adjusted amountsInsert at the end of the section: (2) However, an adjustment under section 80 is not affected by any
failure (including a failure that occurred before the commencement of this
subsection) to publish the notice referred to in subsection
noteDivision 6 (sections 79-82) of Part 3 of the Workers Compensation Act 1987
provides for the adjustment, on 1 April and 1 October in each year (the
date), of certain amounts of workers compensation benefits (the
amounts) according to the award rate of pay index. The adjustment is
effected by operation of section 80. In addition, section 82 requires the
WorkCover Authority, on or before each adjustment date, to declare by notice
published in the Gazette the amount at which each adjustable amount is to be
construed in accordance with Division 6 on and from that adjustment date until
immediately before the next following adjustment date.The proposed amendment makes it clear that failure to publish the
notice referred to in section 82 does not affect the relevant
adjustment.Schedule 2 Amendments by way of statute law
