ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE SCIENCE AND PERSONNEL

NAVY (CANTEENS) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)

The Navy (Canteens) Regulations ("the Regulations"), made under the Naval Defence Act 1910, provide for the operation of Navy canteens.

Regulations 6 to 11 of the Regulations provide for the establishment and operation of the Royal Australian Navy Central Canteens Board (the Board) which is responsible for the administration of Navy canteens.

Regulations 14 to 16 of the Regulations provided for the establishment and operation of the Royal Australian Navy Central Canteens Committee (the Committee).

Regulation 16 set out the functions of the Committee: to make recommendations and suggestions to the Board on matters concerning the interests and welfare of members of the Navy in relation to canteens; and to make recommendations to the Board on matters of principle concerning disbursements from the Navy Canteens Fund (established by regulation 4).

These functions have been assumed by ship and establishment welfare committees, the Navy divisional system, and commanding officers or area commanders. In consequence, there was no role for the Committee and it had ceased to serve a useful purpose.

The Statutory Rule repeals regulations 14 to 16 of the Regulations. The Statutory Rule also makes consequential amendments to remove references to the Committee.

The Statutory Rule comes into operation on the day of gazettal.
