Schedule 1 Minor amendments

(Section 3)

1.1 Associations Incorporation Act 1984 No 143

[1]   Schedule 2 Provisions relating to property, liabilities, etc, of incorporated associations

Insert “, to duty under the Duties Act 1997” after “duty” in clause 10.

[2]   Schedule 2, clause 10 (2)

Insert at the end of the clause:
  
(2)  A dutiable transaction within the meaning of the Duties Act 1997 that is not in writing and that occurs only for:
(a)  a purpose ancillary to, or consequential on, the operation of this Schedule, or
(b)  the purpose of giving effect to this Schedule,
      is not liable to duty under the Duties Act 1997.

Explanatory note

Clause 10 of Schedule 2 to the Associations Incorporation Act 1984 exempts an association incorporated under the Act from liability for any stamp duty or to any fee or charge payable under any Act for registration of a document or instrument brought into existence for the purposes of the incorporation of the association under the Act. Item [1] of the proposed amendments extends the exemption to duty under the Duties Act 1997.

Under the Duties Act 1997, a transaction for which a liability for duty arises can occur without a document or instrument being brought into existence to effect the transaction. Item [2] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the exemption from liability to pay duty under the Duties Act 1997 extends to dutiable transactions that are not in writing.

1.2 Banana Industry Act 1987 No 66

Schedule 3 Savings, transitional and other provisions

Insert after clause 14 (4):
  
(5)  Despite clause 1 (2) of Schedule 1 and subclause (2) of this clause but subject to the other provisions of this Act, the regional member who assumed office on 30 July 1997 to represent the Nambucca Region holds that office until the end of 29 September 2000.

Explanatory note

In 1996, the Banana Industry Act 1987 was amended to provide for the election of members to the Banana Industry Committee to represent a number of industry regions determined by the Minister administering the Act. Six regions were established and elections accordingly held for each region.

The election for the regional member for the Nambucca Region was uncontested with the result that the only candidate assumed office on 30 July 1997, earlier than the other regional members who assumed office on 30 September 1997 after ballots were held. The Minister determined the terms of office for the initial regional members so as to provide for two members to come up for election each year. The terms of office of the regional member for the Nambucca Region and one other regional member expire 3 years from the date of their election.

The proposed amendment extends the term of office of the regional member for the Nambucca Region from the end of 29 July 2000 to the end of 29 September 2000 to bring it into line with the expiration of the term of office of the other regional member due to vacate office next year.

Items [1]–[12], [19] and [20] of the amendments to the Electricity Supply Act 1995 commence on a day or days to be appointed by proclamation.

Pricing of electricity network services provided by licensed electricity distributors

The Electricity Supply Amendment Act 1999 amended the Electricity Supply Act 1995 to provide for the price for the provision of electricity network services by a transmission operator to be determined by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission under the National Electricity Code rather than by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal under the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal Act 1992.

Items [1]–[6], [12], [19] and [20] of the proposed amendments amend the Electricity Supply Act 1995 in anticipation of arrangements that are proposed to come into effect on 1 February 2000 under which the price for the provision of electricity network services by a licensed electricity distributor will be determined by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal under the National Electricity Code rather than under the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal Act 1992 as is currently the case.

Omit “its closure date” wherever occurring. Insert instead “1 March 1999”.

[3]   Schedule 5, clause 4A

4A   Appeals concerning BSC insurance decisions

(1)  The Tribunal has the jurisdiction that the Commercial Tribunal constituted under the Commercial Tribunal Act 1984 had pursuant to clause 37 of Schedule 4 to the Home Building Act 1989 immediately before 1 March 1999 in respect of decisions made (before or after that date) in relation to claims under BSC insurance within the meaning of that clause.

[4]   Schedule 5, clause 5A (1)

Omit “the closure date”. Insert instead “1 March 1999”.

Explanatory note

The Fair Trading Tribunal Act 1998 commenced on 1 March 1999. It abolished a number of bodies, including the Commercial Tribunal, and conferred jurisdiction in respect of most of the matters formerly dealt with by those bodies on the Fair Trading Tribunal. However, savings provisions relating to the Commercial Tribunal enabled that Tribunal to continue to hear some matters.

Item [3] of the proposed amendments clarifies the position concerning the jurisdiction of the Fair Trading Tribunal to hear appeals by claimants against decisions concerning two insurance schemes previously administered under the Home Building Act 1989. These were the BSC Comprehensive Insurance Scheme and the BSC Special Insurance Scheme. Before the constitution of the Fair Trading Tribunal, all appeals concerning these schemes were heard by the Commercial Tribunal. The Fair Trading Tribunal has been hearing appeals made since 1 March 1999. Appeals made before that date are to continue to be heard by the Commercial Tribunal until a final cut-off date of 1 November 1999. Item [3] confirms the jurisdiction of the Fair Trading Tribunal and validates the exercise of its jurisdiction since 1 March 1999.

Items [1], [2] and [4] of the proposed amendments make consequential amendments.

Insert “published in the Gazette” after “order” wherever occurring in section 220D (1) and (2).

[2]   Schedule 7 Savings, transitional and other provisions

Insert after clause 23:
  

24   Saving of certain orders

An order made under section 220D before the commencement of the amendment made to that section by Schedule 1 to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 1999 is taken to have been made under the section as so amended.

Explanatory note

Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that an order of the Minister administering the Act to amend Schedules 4, 5 or 6 to the Act (which contain lists of endangered species, populations and ecological communities, vulnerable species and key threatening processes) is to be published in the Gazette.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments contains a provision of a savings nature consequent on item [1].

8   Separate representation

The amendment made to section 51A by Schedule 1 to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 1999 extends to proceedings commenced, but not determined by the Tribunal, before the commencement of the amendment.

Explanatory note

Requirement for close and continuing relationship with spouse

Section 3F of the Guardianship Act 1987 provides that the spouse of a person who is the subject of an application to the Tribunal is a party to proceedings in relation to the application. Item [1] of the proposed amendments provides that the spouse of such a person is a party to the proceedings only if the relationship between the spouse and the person is a close and continuing one.

The proposed amendment makes section 3F consistent with section 33A of the Act which provides that one of the persons who is authorised to give consent to the medical or dental treatment of an adult person who lacks the capacity to consent to their own medical and dental treatment is the spouse of the person if the relationship between the spouse and the person is a close and continuing one.

Section 14 of the Act requires the Guardianship Tribunal to take into account the views of the spouse of a person who is the subject of an application for a guardianship order. Item [2] of the proposed amendments will require the views of the spouse of the person to be taken into account only if the relationship between the spouse and the person concerned is a close and continuing one.

Additional matter that may be dealt with by fewer than 3 Tribunal members

Section 51A of the Guardianship Act 1987 allows the Guardianship Tribunal to be constituted by fewer than 3 Tribunal members when dealing with certain matters, including procedural matters, such as, the granting of leave to appear in a proceeding before the Tribunal.

Item [4] of the proposed amendments contains a provision of a transitional nature consequent on item [3].

Insert in alphabetical order in section 21 (1):

Insert after section 80:
  

80A   Maximum monetary penalty Local Courts may impose in certain circumstances

If an Act:
(a)  provides that an offence under the Act may be dealt with summarily by a Local Court or, in the alternative, by another court, and
(b)  imposes a limit by reference solely to an amount of money (however expressed) on the penalty that a Local Court may impose when dealing with such an offence,
that limit, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Act, does not affect any non-monetary penalty that may be imposed by a Local Court for the offence.
Commencement

Items [1] and [2] of the amendments to the Interpretation Act 1987 are taken to have commenced on 1 July 1999.

Explanatory note

Standards Australia

The Standards Association of Australia was established as a corporate body by royal charter. On 1 July 1999, the body was registered as a company limited by guarantee under Part 5B.1 of the Corporations Law. Section 601BM (1) of the Corporations Law provides that registration under that Part does not create a new legal entity or affect the body’s existing property, rights or obligations.

Items [1] and [2] of the proposed amendments insert a definition of Standards Australia (the new name of the body) in section 21 (Meaning of commonly used words and expressions) of the Act and provide that references in Acts and instruments to the former name of the body will be read as references to the new name.

Maximum monetary penalty Local Courts may impose in certain circumstances

Item [3] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that, if an Act provides that an offence under the Act may be dealt with summarily by a Local Court, or in the alternative, by another court and the Act imposes a limit on the penalty that a Local Court may impose when dealing with such an offence by reference solely to an amount of money, that limit does not affect any other non-monetary penalty that the Local Court may impose for the offence (for example, any sentence of imprisonment or alternative sentence, such as a community service order, applicable to the offence).

1.17 Liquor Act 1982 No 147

[1]   Section 4 Definitions

Omit the definition of non-proprietary association from section 4 (1).

Insert instead:

  

non-proprietary association means:

(a)  an incorporated or unincorporated body or association of persons (including a registered or unregistered club) that, by its constitution or any law that governs its activities:
(i)  is required to apply its profits (if any) and other income to the promotion of its objects or to purposes provided for by any such law, and
(ii)  is prohibited from paying dividends, or distributing profits or income, to its shareholders or members, or
(b)  a local council, or
(c)  the Darling Harbour Authority, or
(d)  the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, or
(e)  any public authority declared by order of the Minister, published in the Gazette, to be a non-proprietary association for the purposes of this definition.

[2]   Section 4 (7A)

Insert after section 4 (7):
  
(7A)  In this Act, a reference to the secretary of a non-proprietary association is a reference:
(a)  in the case of a local council—to the general manager of the local council, or
(b)  in the case of a body referred to in paragraph (c), (d) or (e) of the definition of non-proprietary association—to the chief executive officer (however described) of the body.

Explanatory note

Currently, section 18 (5A) of the Liquor Act 1982 enables persons to hold on-licences authorising them to sell liquor at functions on behalf of non-proprietary associations or in respect of trade fairs.

Item [1] of the proposed amendments amends the definition of non-proprietary association in the Act to omit the reference to a local consent authority and to include instead specific reference to local councils, the Darling Harbour Authority and the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and to enable certain public authorities to be included in the definition by order of the Minister administering the Act published in the Gazette.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments makes a consequential amendment.

1.18 Macquarie University Act 1989 No 126

[5]   Section 9 (5) (c1)

Insert after section 9 (5) (c):
  
(c1)  one person:

(iii)  who is elected by the postgraduate students of the University in the manner prescribed by the by-laws,

[6]   Section 9 (5) (d) (i)

Insert “or (c1) (ii)” after “(c) (ii)”.

[7]   Schedule 1 Provisions relating to members and procedure of the Council

Omit “or (c)” from clause 1 (d). Insert instead “, (c) or (c1)”.

[8]   Schedule 3 Savings and transitional provisions

Insert after clause 8:
  

8A   Elected members

If, on the commencement of the amendments to section 9 made by Schedule 1 to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 1999, the membership of the Council fails to comply with section 9 (5) as so amended, there is for the purposes of clause 3 (1) of Schedule 1 to this Act taken to be a vacancy in the office of the member in respect of which the failure exists.
Commencement

The amendments to the Macquarie University Act 1989 commence on a day or days to be appointed by proclamation.

Explanatory note

Items [1]–[7] of the proposed amendments alter the composition of the Council of Macquarie University by increasing the number of student members from 1 to 2 and by providing that, of the 2 student members, one is to be an undergraduate elected by the undergraduate students and the other a postgraduate elected by the postgraduate students.

1.19 Meat Industry Act 1978 No 54

[1]   Section 4 Definitions

Insert after section 4 (2):
  
(3)  In sections 28, 41, 41A, 42 and 74, a reference to a meat safety officer is to be read as a reference to:
(a)  in the case of game meat for human consumption or processed meat made from game meat or that has game meat as an ingredient—a person approved in writing by the Authority to inspect game animals for human consumption, or
(b)  in the case of game meat for use as animal food or processed animal food made from game meat or that has game meat as an ingredient—a person approved in writing by the Authority to inspect game animals for animal consumption.

Omit “meat inspector” from section 41 (1A).

Insert instead “meat safety officer”.

[3]   Section 41A Offences as to storage of meat

Omit “meat inspector and passed by the inspector” from section 41A (2).

Insert instead “meat safety officer and passed”.

Omit “a licensing” from section 74 (1) (b) (i).

Insert instead “an”.

[5]   Section 74 (1) (b) (i)

Omit “such”.

Explanatory note

The Meat Industry Amendment Act 1998 amended the Meat Industry Act 1978 relating to inspection and processing of meat. Those amendments removed the distinction between meat inspectors and licensing inspectors so that both those positions are called inspectors. The amendments also transferred the routine inspection of meat from inspectors to meat safety officers appointed for abattoirs and, in the case of game meat, persons approved by the New South Wales Meat Industry Authority to inspect the game meat. However, certain references appear in the Meat Industry Act 1978 to licensing inspectors and to the inspection of game meat by meat safety officers.

Items [1]–[3] of the proposed amendments replace references to meat inspectors with references to meat safety officers and ensure that those references are read, in the case of game meat, as references to persons approved by the New South Wales Meat Industry Authority to inspect game meat.

Items [4] and [5] of the proposed amendments change a reference to a licensing inspector so that it will now refer to an inspector.

[13]   Section 168 (4) (b)

Omit “subsection (2)”. Insert instead “subsection (2) (b) (i)”.

[14]   Section 168 (4) (b)

Omit “that subsection”. Insert instead “that subparagraph”.

[15]   Section 168 (4) (c)

Insert at the end of section 168 (4) (b):
  

, or

(c)  in the case of an application for an order under subsection (2) (b) (ii)—later than 1 month after the date on which the proceedings were dismissed.

[16]   Section 172 Police officers

Omit “member of the police force”. Insert instead “police officer”.

[17]   Section 172

Omit “such a member”. Insert instead “a police officer”.

[18]   Section 174 Service of notices

Omit “place of abode or business” from section 174 (b).

Insert instead “residential or business address”.

[19]   Section 179 Authority to take proceedings

Omit “member of the police force” from section 179 (1).

Insert instead “police officer”.

[20]   Schedule 11 Unprotected fauna

Omit “Birds”.

Locally protected fauna

Item [4] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that an order under section 96 of the Act (declaring certain protected fauna to be locally protected fauna) may be subject to such conditions and restrictions as may be specified in the order.

Issuing of penalty notices

Section 160 of the Act enables penalty notices (commonly referred to as “on-the-spot” fines) to be issued for certain offences under the Act by a “prescribed person” (defined in the Act as being a person, or a person belonging to a class of persons, prescribed by the regulations). Item [6] of the proposed amendments amends the definition of prescribed person in the section to include police officers and officers of the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Powers of police officers

Section 164 (5) of the Act enables the Director-General of National Parks and Wildlife or persons duly authorised by the Director-General to obtain search warrants from authorised justices for the purposes of investigating suspected offences against the Act or the regulations. Item [9] of the proposed amendments enables police officers to obtain search warrants from authorised justices without having to be individually authorised by the Director-General.

Item [10] of the proposed amendments makes a consequential amendment.

Disposal of property seized or delivered up

Section 168 of the Act deals with the circumstances in which a court may order that property seized or delivered up under the Act be disposed of by delivery of the property to a person specified in the court’s order. The circumstances include the case where legal proceedings for an offence in relation to the property have not been commenced within 2 years after the seizure or delivering up of the property. Item [11] of the proposed amendments enables a court to make such an order if proceedings for an offence against the Act or the regulations have been dismissed by a court.

Items [12]–[15] of the proposed amendments make consequential amendments.

Other amendments

Currently, the Act contains references to members of the police force. Section 21 of the Interpretation Act 1987 contains a definition of police officer. Items [2], [16], [17] and [19] update the terminology used in the Act so that it is consistent with that definition.

Item [3] of the proposed amendments omits a provision that is no longer required because of the enactment of section 100A (Employer-sponsored transfers involving public authorities) of the Public Sector Management Act 1988.

Items [5] and [18] of the proposed amendments update references to “place of abode” with references to “residential address” and “place of abode or business” with a reference to “residential or business address” respectively for consistency with other provisions of the Act.

Item [7] of the proposed amendments updates a reference to certain provisions of an Act that have been transferred to another Act. Item [8] of the proposed amendments makes a consequential amendment.

Item [20] of the proposed amendments omits a subheading in a Schedule to the Act that is no longer required.

Explanatory note

The Police Service Amendment (Complaints and Management Reform) Act 1998 amended the Police Service Act 1990 in various respects including the replacement of the existing scheme for taking disciplinary action against police officers with a new scheme for dealing with police officers’ misconduct and unsatisfactory performance.

Items [1], [2], [5]–[12] and [14] of the proposed amendments make consequential amendments to the Police Integrity Commission Act 1996 by updating the terminology used in that Act as a result of the introduction of the new scheme.

Special audit of reform process

Item [13] of the proposed amendments provides for the remuneration of the Commissioner for the Police Integrity Commission to be determined in accordance with the Statutory and Other Offices Remuneration Act 1975 and for the Commissioner’s travelling and subsistence allowances to be determined by the Minister administering the Police Integrity Commission Act 1996. Currently the Commissioner’s remuneration (including travelling and subsistence allowances) is the remuneration specified in the Commissioner’s instrument of appointment or such remuneration as may be afterwards determined by the Governor. The proposed amendment makes the determination of the Commissioner’s remuneration consistent with that of the Commissioner for the New South Wales Crime Commission.

Item [15] of the proposed amendments contains provisions of a saving and transitional nature.

1.22 Residential Parks Act 1998 No 142

Section 102A

Insert after section 102:
  

102A   Termination by resident on ground of breach of agreement

(cf RT Act s 57)

(1)  A resident may give notice of termination of a residential site agreement to the park owner on the ground that the park owner has breached a term of the agreement.
(2)  A notice of termination given under this section must not specify a day earlier than 14 days after the day on which the notice is given as the day on which vacant possession of the residential premises will be delivered up to the park owner.
(3)  A notice of termination of a residential site agreement that creates a tenancy for a fixed term given under this section is not ineffective because the day specified as the day on which vacant possession of the residential premises will be delivered up to the park owner is earlier than the day the term ends.

Explanatory note

The Residential Parks Act 1998 sets out the rights and obligations of residents and owners of residential parks. Before the Act commenced those rights and obligations were set out in the Residential Tenancies Act 1987, which dealt with all residential tenancies including those in flats, houses, caravan parks and manufactured home estates.

Generally the Residential Parks Act 1998 affords residents under residential site agreements (that is, residents who install their own relocatable home or registrable moveable dwelling on a site owned by the park owner) greater rights than residents under other residential tenancy agreements, because of the more significant nature of their investment.

Part 12 of the Residential Parks Act 1998 deals with termination of both types of residential tenancy agreements. That Part generally mirrors the provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 relating to termination. Under section 57 of the 1987 Act, a tenant had the right to give notice of termination of a residential tenancy agreement (including a residential site agreement) to the landlord on the ground that the landlord had breached a term of the agreement. There is no analogous provision under the 1998 Act relating to a resident under a residential site agreement.

The object of the proposed amendment to the Residential Parks Act 1998 is to empower a resident under a residential site agreement to give notice of termination on the ground of breach of agreement. In doing so, the amendment restores the right that such a resident had under the 1987 Act and puts the resident in the same position as residents under other types of residential tenancy agreements.

1.23 Southern Cross University Act 1993 No 69

[1]   Section 7 University to collaborate with University of New South Wales

Omit the section.

[2]   Section 10 Constitution of Council

Omit section 10 (4) (a). Insert instead:
  
(a)  2 persons appointed by the Minister, being persons nominated by the Council, who are graduates of the University, and who the Minister considers to be appropriate for appointment, but who are not:
(i)  members of the staff of the University eligible to be elected as members of the Council in accordance with subsection (5) (a) or (b), or
(ii)  persons who, within the 5 years immediately prior to appointment, had been members of the staff of the University who were eligible to be elected as members of the Council in accordance with subsection 5 (a) or (b), or
(iii)  students of the University eligible to be elected as members of the Council in accordance with subsection (5) (c), and

[3]   Section 10 (7A)

Insert after section 10 (7):
  
(7A)  For the purposes of nominating the persons referred to in subsection (4) (a), the Council is to comprise the members referred to in subsections (2), (3), (4) (b) and (5).

[4]   Schedule 3 Savings and transitional provisions

Insert after clause 29:
  

29A   Appointed members

If, on the commencement of the amendments to section 10 made by Schedule 1 to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 1999, the membership of the Council fails to comply with section 10 (4) as so amended, then, for the purposes of clause 3 (1) of Schedule 1 to this Act, there is taken to be a vacancy in the office of the member in respect of which the failure exists.
Commencement

The amendments to the Southern Cross University Act 1993 commence on a day or days to be appointed by proclamation.

Explanatory note

Section 7 of the Southern Cross University Act 1989 provides that the Southern Cross University (SCU) is to collaborate with the University of New South Wales in the development of academic programs to be offered by SCU until the Minister administering the Act otherwise directs. Item [1] of the proposed amendments repeals section 7 as a direction under the section was given on 25 October 1999 with effect from that date.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments alters the composition of the Council of SCU with respect to appointed members (as a consequence of the termination of the collaboration arrangement) by omitting the requirement that 2 persons, nominated by the Council of the University of New South Wales, be appointed by the Minister. The proposed amendment replaces that requirement with a requirement that the Minister appoint 2 persons who are graduates of SCU nominated for appointment by the Council of SCU. (Certain persons who are, or who were within the previous 5 years, eligible to be elected members of the Council will not be eligible to be appointed members.)

Item [3] of the proposed amendments makes a consequential amendment.

Item [4] of the proposed amendments contains a provision of a transitional nature consequent on the alteration of the composition of the Council.

1.24 Statutory and Other Offices Remuneration Act 1975 (1976 No 4)

Schedule 1 Public offices

Insert at the end of the Schedule:
  

Commissioner for the Police Integrity Commission

Explanatory note

The proposed amendment enables the remuneration of the Commissioner for the Police Integrity Commission to be determined in accordance with the Statutory and Other Offices Remuneration Act 1975 and is consequential on the amendments to the Police Integrity Commission Act 1996 in respect of the Commissioner’s remuneration set out elsewhere in this Schedule.

1.25 Stock Foods Act 1940 No 19

Section 3 Definitions

Insert “any substance that is intended to be fed to animals other than stock or” after “and does not include” in the definition of stock food.

Explanatory note

The definition of stock food in section 3 of the Stock Foods Act 1940 adopts for consistency the definition of stockfood in the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Regulations 1995 of the Commonwealth. However, the adoption of that definition inadvertently extends the application of the Act to stock food fed to any animal rather than just to animals to which the Act applies (namely, animals belonging to food producing species).

The proposed amendment makes it clear that the definition does not include any substance that is intended to be fed to animals other than those to which the Act applies.

1.26 Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority Act 1998 No 170

[1]   Section 32 Rangers

Insert after section 32 (1):
  
(1A)  Rangers may include persons who are officers or employees of a body corporate providing services to the Authority under section 31 (4). Such persons are subject to the control and direction of the Chief Executive Officer while they are exercising the functions of a ranger.

[2]   Section 43A

Insert after section 43:
  

43A   Penalty notices

(1)  An authorised officer may serve a penalty notice on a person if it appears to the officer that the person has committed an offence against the regulations, being an offence prescribed by the regulations as a penalty notice offence.
(2)  A penalty notice is a notice to the effect that, if the person served does not wish to have the matter determined by a court, the person can pay, within the time and to the person specified in the notice, the amount of penalty prescribed by the regulations for the offence if dealt with under this section.
(3)  A penalty notice may be served personally or by post.
(4)  If the amount of penalty prescribed for an alleged offence is paid under this section, no person is liable to any further proceedings for the alleged offence.
(5)  Payment under this section is not to be regarded as an admission of liability for the purpose of, and does not in any way affect or prejudice, any civil claim, action or proceeding arising out of the same occurrence.
(6)  The regulations may:
(a)  prescribe an offence for the purposes of this section by specifying the offence or by referring to the provision creating the offence, and
(b)  prescribe the amount of penalty payable for the offence if dealt with under this section, and
(c)  prescribe different amounts of penalties for different offences or classes of offences.
(7)  The amount of a penalty prescribed under this section for an offence is not to exceed the maximum amount of penalty that could be imposed for the offence by a court.
(8)  This section does not limit the operation of any other provision of, or made under, this or any other Act relating to proceedings that may be taken in respect of offences.
(9)  In this section, authorised officer means a person authorised in writing by the Authority as an authorised officer for the purposes of this section.

Explanatory note

Section 32 (1) of the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority Act 1998 enables certain individuals to be appointed as rangers for the purposes of the Act. Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that individuals who are officers or employees of a body corporate that is engaged under section 31 of the Act to provide services to the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority may also be appointed as rangers. Such a person will be subject to the control and direction of the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority while exercising the functions of a ranger.

Item [2] of the proposed amendments enables penalty notices (commonly known as “on-the-spot” fines) to be issued for offences against regulations made under the Act.

1.27 University of Newcastle Act 1989 No 68

[1]   Section 9 Constitution of Council

Insert “the following” after “comprise” in section 9 (5).

[2]   Section 9 (5) (c) (i)

[3]   Section 9 (5) (c) (iii)

Insert “the undergraduate” before “students”.

[5]   Section 9 (5) (c1)

Insert after section 9 (5) (c):
  
(c1)  one person:

(ii)  who has such qualifications as may be prescribed by the by-laws, and
(iii)  who is elected by the postgraduate students of the University in the manner prescribed by the by-laws,

Omit “or (c)” from clause 1 (d). Insert instead “, (c) or (c1)”.

Insert after clause 11:
  

12   Elected members

If, on the commencement of the amendments to section 9 made by Schedule 1 to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 1999, the membership of the Council fails to comply with section 9 (5) as so amended, there is for the purposes of clause 3 (1) of Schedule 1 to this Act taken to be a vacancy in the office of the member in respect of which the failure exists.
Commencement

The amendments to the University of Newcastle Act 1989 commence on a day or days to be appointed by proclamation.

Explanatory note

Items [1]–[7] of the proposed amendments alter the composition of the Council of the University of Newcastle by increasing the number of student members from 1 to 2 and by providing that, of the 2 student members, one is to be an undergraduate elected by the undergraduate students and the other a postgraduate elected by the postgraduate students.

Item [8] of the proposed amendments contains a provision of a transitional nature consequent on items [1]–[7].

1.28 Unlawful Gambling Act 1998 No 113

[1]   Section 8 Offences relating to unlawful betting

Insert “by telephone or” after “made” in section 8 (3) (a).

[2]   Section 51 Proceeding for offences

Insert “(1)” after “19” in section 51 (2).

Explanatory note

It is currently an offence under section 8 (3) of the Unlawful Gambling Act 1998 for a person to make a bet on any horse race, harness race or greyhound race if the bet is made electronically by means of the Internet, subscription TV or other on-line communication system and the bet is made with another person whom the person making the bet knows is not a legal bookmaker or is not a person who is authorised to conduct totalizator betting.

Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the offence is meant to cover the making of a bet with such a person by means of all relevant forms of communications media, including the telephone. The proposed amendment will make the provision consistent with section 17 of the Racing Administration Act 1998 which prohibits the conduct of unauthorised telephone or electronic betting activities by licensed bookmakers.

Section 51 (2) of the Unlawful Gambling Act 1998 provides that a second or subsequent offence under certain provisions of the Act are to be prosecuted on indictment. Section 51 (2) currently refers to section 19 of that Act. Section 19 contains 2 offences, but it is only the offence under section 19 (1) that provides a penalty for a second or subsequent offence. The other offence under section 19 is not relevant in the context of section 51 (2). Item [2] of the proposed amendments rectifies the cross-reference to section 19 in section 51 (2) so that it refers to section 19 (1) only.

Explanatory note

Proposed section 37A

The National Environment Protection Council (New South Wales) Act 1995 gives effect to that part of the Intergovernmental Agreement on the Environment (to which New South Wales is a party) requiring the establishment of a body to determine national environment protection measures (measures which relate to ambient air or water quality and similar standards). These measures are made by the National Environment Protection Council established under the Act (after the Council has undertaken public consultation required by the Act with respect to such measures) and are to be implemented by parties to the Agreement.

Part 4 of the Waste Minimisation and Management Act 1995 provides for the preparation of, and compliance with, industry waste reduction plans. Proposed section 37A of the Act will enable an industry waste reduction plan to be prepared by the Environment Protection Authority if the Minister administering the Act is satisfied that the plan will implement a national environment protection measure. (Section 22 (1) of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 contains a similar provision in respect of protection of the environment policies made under that Act.)

Proposed section 37B

Proposed section 37B of the Waste Minimisation and Management Act 1995 will enable industry waste reduction plans to adopt or incorporate (with or without modification) documents as in force at a particular time or as in force from time to time. (Section 35 (d) of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 contains a similar provision in respect of protection of the environment policies made under that Act.)

Key 
1   indicates repeal of an Act that was assented to at least 2 years ago and that contains only amendments
2   indicates repeal of an Act that was assented to at least 2 years ago and that contains only amendments and spent provisions
3   indicates repeal of an amending Act whose savings, transitional or other provisions of ongoing effect are transferred to, or re-enacted in, the Principal Act (by Schedule 3 to this Act)
4   indicates repeal of a recent amending Act that contains no substantive provision that needs to be retained, where the amendments made by the Act have been incorporated in a paper reprint of the Act amended
5   indicates repeal of an Act that is no longer of practical utility

Explanatory note

The repeals are explained in detail in the Explanatory note relating to this Act. In relation to the repeal of amending Acts, it should be noted that the Acts are repealed simply to rationalise the legislation in force and that the repeals have no substantive effect on the amendments made by the Acts or any associated provisions. The Acts that were amended by the Acts or provisions being repealed are up-to-date on the Legislation Database maintained by the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office and are available electronically.

Section 30 (2) of the Interpretation Act 1987 ensures that, when an Act is amended or repealed, no amendment made by the Act is affected. Section 30 (2) also ensures that the following matters are not affected:

(a)  the proof of any past act or thing,
(b)  any right, privilege, obligation or liability saved by the operation of the Act,
(c)  any validation made by the Act,
(d)  the operation of any savings or transitional provision contained in the Act.

Schedule 5 General savings, transitional and other provisions

(Section 5)

7   Effect of amendment of amending provisions

(1)  An amendment made by Schedule 1 or 2 to an amending provision contained in an Act is, if the amending provision has commenced before the date of assent to this Act, taken to have effect as from the commencement of the amending provision.
(2)  In this clause:

amending provision means a provision of an Act, or of any other instrument, being a provision that has commenced and that makes a direct amendment to an Act by:

(a)  the repeal or omission of matter contained in the amended Act without the insertion of any matter instead of the repealed or omitted matter, or
(b)  the omission of matter contained in the amended Act and the insertion of matter instead of the omitted matter, or
(c)  the insertion into the amended Act of matter, not being matter inserted instead of matter omitted from the Act,
      whether the provision was enacted before or after the commencement of the Reprints Act 1972.

Explanatory note

This clause ensures that certain amendments, including amendments correcting errors in the technical provisions (for example, headings indicating the section to be amended or directions as to where a new section is to be inserted) and rectifying minor drafting errors (for example, corrections in numbering of provisions, correction or insertion of cross-references, omission of unnecessary matter or insertion of omitted matter), will commence on the date the amendments to which they relate commenced.

8   Effect of amendment or repeal on acts done or decisions made

Except where it is expressly provided to the contrary, if this Act:
(a)  amends a provision of an Act, or
(b)  repeals and re-enacts (with or without modification) a provision of an Act,
any act done or decision made under the provision amended or repealed has effect after the amendment or repeal as if it had been done or made under the provision as so amended or repealed.

Explanatory note

This clause ensures that the amendment or repeal of a provision will not, unless expressly otherwise provided, vitiate any act done or decision made under the provision as in force before the amendment or repeal.

9   Effect of amendment on regulations

Except where expressly provided to the contrary, any regulation made under an Act amended by this Act, and in force immediately before the commencement of the amendment, is taken to have been made under the Act as amended.

Explanatory note

This clause ensures that, unless expressly provided, any regulation made under an Act amended by the proposed Act, and in force immediately before the commencement of the amendment, will be taken to have been made under the amended Act.

10   Regulations

(1)  The Governor may make regulations containing provisions of a savings or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of this Act.
(2)  Any such provision may, if the regulations so provide, take effect from the date of assent to this Act or a later date.
(3)  To the extent to which any such provision takes effect from a date that is earlier than the date of its publication in the Gazette, the provision does not operate so as:
(a)  to affect, in a manner prejudicial to any person (other than the State or an authority of the State), the rights of that person existing before the date of its publication, or
(b)  to impose liabilities on any person (other than the State or an authority of the State) in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before the date of its publication.

Explanatory note

This clause enables the making of regulations of a savings or transitional nature having a short term effect and relating to incidental matters arising out of the proposed Act with regard to which no specific, or sufficient, provision has been made in the Act.
