               This Act is the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009.           3

 2    Commencement                                                                        4

         (1)   This Act commences on 17 July 2009, except as provided by this             5
               section.                                                                   6

         (1)   A subschedule of Schedule 1, 2, 3 or 4 is repealed on the day following   11
               the day on which all of the provisions of the subschedule have            12
               commenced.                                                                13

         (2)   The repeal of any such subschedule does not, because of the operation     14

               made by those subschedules.                                               16

               The matter appearing under the heading "Explanatory note" in any of       18
               the Schedules does not form part of this Act.                             19

1.1 Adoption Act 2000 No 75                                                                           2

       Insert after section 54 (2) before the note:                                                  11

              (3)     However, the Court must not make an adoption order in relation                 12

                       (a) the Court is satisfied that at least 14 days' notice of the               15
                             application for the adoption order has been given by the                16
                             Director-General or appropriate principal officer to the                17

                             consent would otherwise be required, or                                 19
                      (b) the Court dispenses with the giving of notice.                             20

              (4)     The regulations may prescribe the particulars to be contained in               21
                      a notice under this section.                                                   22

[3]    Dictionary                                                                                    23

       Omit "3 years'" from paragraph (b) of the definition of spouse.                               24

       Insert instead "2 years'".                                                                    25

       Omit "3 or more years" from paragraph (b).                                                    27

       Insert instead "2 or more years".                                                             28
       Explanatory note                                                                              29
       Item [2] of the proposed amendments to the Adoption Act 2000 (the Act) specifies the          30
       type of notice of an adoption application that must be given to the birth parent of a child   31
       before the child is permitted to give sole consent to his or her adoption. Under the          32
       amendments, a child aged between 12 and 18 years of age may give sole consent to              33
       his or her adoption if at least 14 days' notice of the application for the adoption order     34
       (containing the prescribed particulars) has been given to his or her birth parents or if      35
       the Court dispenses with the giving of notice. At present, the Act requires such notice       36




                                                                                        Page 3

Schedule 1         Minor amendments




      to be given but does not specify the period for giving the notice or the particulars to be    1
      included in the notice. Item [1] is a consequential amendment.                                2
      The Adoption Amendment Act 2008 reduced the length of time that a step parent and             3
      a child must live together before the step parent can adopt the child from 3 years to         4
      2 years. Item [4] makes a consequential amendment to the definition of step parent so         5
      that a person is a step parent if the person has been in a de facto relationship (that is,    6
      a relationship between a man and a woman who live together as husband and wife but            7
      who are not married) with a child's birth parent or adoptive parent for 2 years (rather       8
      than 3 years, as is currently the case). Item [3] makes a similar amendment to the            9
      definition of spouse that, for consistency with the provisions relating to step parents,     10
      reduces the required length of a de facto relationship from at least 3 years to at least     11
      2 years.                                                                                     12

1.2 Adoption Amendment Act 2008 No 103                                                             13

[1]   Schedule 1 Amendments                                                                        14

      Insert "(including prescribed information relating to the adopted person's birth             15
      parents, siblings and adopted brothers and sisters)" after "information source"              16
      in proposed section 133C (1) (c) in Schedule 1 [23].                                         17

[2]   Schedule 1 [27]                                                                              18

      Omit proposed section 136A (7). Insert instead:                                              19

             (7)     The Director-General cannot delegate his or her functions under               20
                     this section to any person other than an officer of the Department.           21
      Explanatory note                                                                             22
      The Adoption Amendment Act 2008 (the Act) establishes arrangements for more open             23
      access to adoption information. Under the new provisions, which have not yet                 24
      commenced, an adopted person may obtain prescribed information relating to the               25
      adopted person. Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Act makes it clear that           26
      the type of information relating to an adopted person that may be obtained includes          27
      prescribed information relating to the adopted person's family members. This puts            28
      beyond doubt that the type of information that is made available to adopted persons          29
      under existing access arrangements (which includes information relating to birth             30
      parents and siblings) can also be made available under the new access arrangements.          31
      Item [2] of the proposed amendments allows the Director-General of the Department            32
      of Community Services to delegate certain functions relating to the supply of adoption       33
      information, but only to an officer of the Department. At present, the functions             34
      concerned cannot be delegated by the Director-General.                                       35

1.3 Annual Reports (Departments) Regulation 2005                                                   36

      Clause 5 Additional matters for inclusion in annual reports                                  37

      Insert after clause 5 (c):                                                                   38
                    (c1) a statement of the action taken by the Department in                      39
                           complying with the requirements of the Privacy and                      40
                           Personal Information Protection Act 1998, and                           41

                     Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 does not affect the                   6
                     term of office that a person holds as a trustee immediately before            7
                     the amendment took effect.                                                    8

      Currently, the Australian Museum Trust Act 1975 (the Act) provides that (subject to         10
      various provisions of the Act) a trustee of the Australian Museum Trust is to hold office   11
      for 3 years. Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Act instead requires a trustee      12
      to hold office for such period, not exceeding 3 years, as is specified in the trustee's     13
      instrument of appointment. The amendment is consistent with provision made for the          14
      term of office of trustees under the Art Gallery of New South Wales Act 1980 and the        15
      Historic Houses Act 1980 and for the term of like offices under the Film and Television     16
      Office Act 1988.                                                                            17
      Item [2] of the proposed amendments inserts a savings and transitional provision            18

Schedule 1          Minor amendments




      The proposed amendment allows regulations of a savings or transitional nature to be        1
      made as a consequence of the (as yet uncommenced) amendments made by the                   2
      amending Act to the principal Act (consistent with amendments made by the amending         3
      Act to other Acts, that enable such regulations to be made as a consequence of its         4
      amendment of those Acts).                                                                  5

      Section 84 allows, among other things, appeals to be made to the District Court against   11
      decisions of the Local Court or Children's Court to refuse to annul an apprehended        12

       Sections 72I-72K of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the EP&A           29

       applications related to development that may only be carried out if an environmental       31

Schedule 1       Minor amendments




      The effect of item [2] of the proposed amendments is to require joint notification of the       1
      relevant development application and environmental planning instrument only if that is          2
      practicable and, if that is not practicable, to require the separate notification of each to    3
      be given as closely together as is practicable. Item [3] makes a consequential                  4
      amendment.                                                                                      5
      Ministerial directions to accredited certifiers about development contributions                 6
      Under the EP&A Act, both local councils and accredited certifiers may, when issuing             7
      complying development certificates, impose conditions requiring contributions for local         8
      infrastructure. Section 94E of the EP&A Act authorises the Minister to direct a consent         9
      authority (which is defined to include a local council in this context, but not an             10
      accredited certifier) as to various matters in relation to such contributions, including the   11
      matters in relation to which they may be imposed and the maximum amount of any                 12
      such contribution.                                                                             13
      The effect of item [4] of the proposed amendments is to extend the application of the          14
      Minister's directions under section 94E that are relevant to accredited certifiers and that    15
      relate to complying development, to accredited certifiers.                                     16
      Special infrastructure contributions                                                           17
      The EP&A Act enables the State to require development contributions for the provision          18
      of infrastructure in relation to development on land within a special contributions area.      19
      In determining the level and nature of such a contribution, the Minister is required by        20
      section 94EE (3A) of the EP&A Act to identify what part (if any) of the contribution is for    21
      the provision of infrastructure by a local council or for the provision of certain             22
      infrastructure by the Minister, the Department or the Director-General. Those parts that       23
      are so identified are not required to be paid into the Special Contributions Areas             24
      Infrastructure Fund (the Fund) established under the Act and are instead to be paid to         25
      the local council or the Department as the case requires.                                      26
      Item [5] of the proposed amendments inserts a provision to clarify that section                27
      94EE (3A) does not limit any payments being made out of the Fund to a local council            28
      or the Department for the provision of infrastructure in relation to development.              29
      Prerequisites to issue of subdivision or occupation certificates                               30
      The EP&A Act provides for voluntary agreements between planning authorities and                31
      developers (planning agreements), under which the developer is required to provide             32
      a development contribution for a public purpose.                                               33
      Section 109J of the EP&A Act sets out requirements that must be satisfied before a             34
      subdivision certificate may be issued. Item [8] of the proposed amendments includes a          35
      requirement that all the requirements of a planning agreement that, by its terms, are          36
      required to be complied with before such a certificate is issued, have been met. Item [6]      37
      of the proposed amendments makes a parallel amendment to section 109H of the                   38
      EP&A Act, which provides for requirements that must be satisfied before an occupation          39
      certificate may be issued. (Similar requirements exist in relation to conditions of a          40
      development consent (including any condition requiring a development contribution to           41
      be made) that are required to be met before a subdivision or occupation certificate may        42
      be issued.) Item [9] inserts a consequential savings and transitional provision.               43
      Updating references                                                                            44
      Item [7] of the proposed amendments updates a cross-reference as a consequence of              45
      (uncommenced) amendments to the EP&A Act by the Environmental Planning and                     46
      Assessment Amendment Act 2008.                                                                 47

       The proposed amendments amend uncommenced provisions of the Environmental                        21
       Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the EP&A Act) as proposed to be inserted by the                22
       Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment Act 2008 (the 2008 Act).                         23
       References in this explanatory note to proposed provisions of the EP&A Act are                   24
       references to those provisions as proposed to be inserted by the 2008 Act.                       25
       Accredited certifiers' authority to impose indirect contributions                                26
       Proposed clause 10 (1) (a) of Schedule 1 to the EP&A Act requires a contributions plan           27
       under that Act to specify whether or not an accredited certifier must impose a condition         28
       requiring a community infrastructure contribution when issuing a complying                       29
       development certificate. A community infrastructure contribution is defined to mean              30
       a direct contribution (being a monetary or other contribution the equivalent of a                31
       section 94 contribution) or an indirect contribution (being a monetary contribution the          32
       equivalent of a section 94A contribution).                                                       33
       Proposed clause 10 (1) (b) of Schedule 1 to the EP&A Act provides that a contributions           34
       plan can only authorise the imposition by an accredited certifier of a condition requiring       35
       a direct contribution that requires the payment of a monetary contribution. The intended         36
       effect of this subclause is to limit the direct contributions that an accredited certifier may   37
       impose to monetary contributions. However, the subclause is capable of being                     38
       interpreted as limiting, generally, the type of contributions that an accredited certifier       39
       may impose to direct contributions that are monetary contributions. Accordingly,                 40
       item [1] of the proposed amendments omits the words in the subclause that give rise              41
       to this ambiguity and, in so doing, confirms that a contributions plan can only authorise        42
       the imposition by an accredited certifier of a condition requiring payment of a monetary         43
       contribution (whether by way of a direct or an indirect contribution).                           44

      Insert at the end of section 80 (2) (b):                                                 7

      Schedule 6.3 to the State Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment (Budget               17
      Measures) Act 2008 commences on 1 July 2009 and inserts Part 5A into the State          18
      Emergency Service Act 1989. That Part requires local government councils and            19
      insurance companies to contribute, along with the State Government, to the costs of     20
      State Emergency Service expenditure.                                                    21
      The object of the proposed amendment to the Fire Brigades Act 1989 is to require an     22
      insurance company that issues a person with an invoice or other statement in relation   23
      to property, home or contents insurance to provide that person with a statement that    24
      estimates the amount of the premium that is attributable to any contribution required   25
      under the State Emergency Service Act 1989. This is consistent with the statement       26
      already required to be provided by insurance companies with respect to similar          27
      contributions paid under the Rural Fires Act 1997.                                      28

       The Council of Australian Governments has agreed to establish a national energy            19

       Section 47 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (the Act)             5
       provides for the Valuer-General to determine the amount of compensation to be offered       6
       to a former owner of land for the compulsory acquisition of the land. A compensation        7
       notice is given under section 42 of that Act which offers the affected land owner           8
       compensation of the amount determined by the Valuer-General. Section 45 of that Act         9
       provides that an offer of compensation in a compensation notice is deemed to be            10
       accepted following 90 days after the compensation notice is given unless it is rejected    11
       and proceedings are taken by the owner of the land.                                        12
       Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Act requires an authority of the State to       13
       amend a compensation notice if the Valuer-General redetermines the amount of               14
       compensation that is to be offered to the former owner and authorises the authority of     15
       the State to amend a compensation notice for the purpose of correcting a clerical error    16
       or an obvious mistake in the notice. If any such amendment alters the amount of            17
       compensation offered to the former owner, the compensation notice is taken to have         18
       been received on the date that the amendment to the notice takes effect. The proposed      19
       amendment also provides that a compensation notice may not be amended after the            20
       offer of compensation in the notice has been accepted.                                     21
       Item [2] of the proposed amendments amends section 70 of the Act to remove an              22
       incorrect reference to a `compensation notice', and to replace it with a reference to an   23
       `acquisition notice'.                                                                      24

      Item [3] of the proposed amendments extends the provisions of the Act, which provide        15
      protection to a participant in a cross-border controlled operation authorised under a       16
      corresponding law, to cases where the participant was unaware of a variation or             17
      cancellation of an authority.                                                               18

          2   Provision consequent on enactment of Statute Law                                    26
              (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009                                                 27

                    The amendment to clause 3 (1) of Schedule 1 made by the Statute               28
                    Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 does not affect the                   29
                    term of office that a person holds as a member of the Council                 30
                    immediately before the amendment took effect.                                 31
      Explanatory note                                                                            32
      Currently, the Library Act 1939 (the Act) provides that (subject to various provisions of   33
      the Act) a member of the Library Council of New South Wales is to hold office for           34
      3 years. Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Act instead requires a member to        35
      hold office for such period, not exceeding 3 years, as is specified in the member's         36
      instrument of appointment. The amendment is consistent with provision made for the          37
      term of office of trustees under the Art Gallery of New South Wales Act 1980 and the        38
      Historic Houses Act 1980 and for the term of like offices under the Film and Television     39
      Office Act 1988.                                                                            40

       allowances referred to in that section and payable to a Magistrate appointed under the       12
       Act are to be paid so long as the Magistrate continues to hold office as such. The           13

       remuneration and allowances for any period for which they are on leave without pay           15
       (being leave that they have agreed to take).                                                 16

       The proposed amendments to the Mental Health Act 2007 update provisions for the              33

       into the custody of any person (not just a police officer) who is responsible for bringing   35
       the person before a magistrate or justice following the assessment. The amendments           36
       are consequential on recent changes to the procedures for the transporting of persons        37
       to and from mental illness assessments that enable persons other than police officers        38
       to be assigned that role.                                                                    39

       Persons who may transport defendants to a mental health facility under                           12
       section 33                                                                                       13
       Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Mental Health (Forensic Provisions) Act               14
       1990 (the Act) relates to restrictions on the kinds of persons who can be assigned to            15
       transport a defendant to a mental health facility for a mental illness assessment. The           16
       existing requirement is that the person be a kind of person prescribed by the                    17
       regulations with an additional requirement that the person be authorised under the Act           18
       to do so. The amendment omits the additional requirement for authorisation under the             19
       Act on the basis that it is an unintended duplication of the requirement for authorisation       20
       by the regulations.                                                                              21
       Application of section 76E to persons the subject of section 55 transfer orders                  22
       Item [2] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that when a prisoner in a                     23
       correctional centre is ordered to be transferred to a mental health facility, the existing       24
       arrangements for the transfer of patients of mental health facilities (which currently only      25
       apply to prisoners once they have been transferred to and become patients of those               26
       facilities) will apply to the transport of the prisoner even though the prisoner is not (until   27
       transferred) a patient of a mental health facility. Item [3] makes a consequential               28
       amendment to the provision that deals with the powers and responsibilities of persons            29
       who transport patients to and from a mental health facility.                                     30
       Parties to information sharing protocols under section 76J                                       31
       Item [4] of the proposed amendments requires the existing powers of the Departments              32
       of Health, Corrective Services and Juvenile Justice to enter into information sharing            33
       protocols with each other to be exercised by the heads of those Departments and also             34
       allows associated agencies of the Department of Health to share and exchange                     35
       information under those protocols. Item [7] defines associated agencies to mean area             36
       health services and statutory health corporations (within the meaning of the Health              37
       Services Act 1997). Item [6] makes a consequential amendment.                                    38
       Persons whose consent is not required before information may be shared under                     39

       Item [5] of the proposed amendments allows information to be shared and exchanged                41
       by Departments and associated agencies under an information sharing protocol                     42
       without the consent of any person concerned (not just any patient concerned, as at               43
       present) to allow for the fact that information sharing protocols need not be limited to         44
       information about patients and can relate to information about other persons (as a               45
       result of the regulations extending the information to which they can relate).                   46

      Omit proposed section 248E (2) (g). Insert instead:                                         12
                  (g) take extracts from, or a copy of, any records,                              13

      Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Mining Amendment Act 2008 (the Act)              15
      omits words that are repeated unnecessarily.                                                16
      The Act makes various amendments to the Mining Act 1992, including to provisions            17
      that confer powers on inspectors. On the commencement of those amendments,                  18
      proposed sections 248C and 248E will replace sections 247 and 247A, which currently         19
      set out the powers of inspectors and royalty officers.                                      20
      Item [2] of the proposed amendments enables an inspector to enter at any time any           21
      premises where the inspector reasonably believes that documents that relate to              22
      prospecting operations, mining operations or mining purposes are being kept.                23
      (Section 248D makes it clear that the power of entry in the amended section 248C does       24
      not entitle an inspector to enter any part of premises used only for residential purposes   25
      unless the inspector has the permission of the occupier or has a search warrant.)           26
      Item [3] enables inspectors to take extracts from (not only copies of) records at           27
      premises entered by the inspectors.                                                         28
      The powers conferred on inspectors by the sections amended by items [2] and [3] are         29
      similar to those currently exercisable by a royalty officer under section 247A.             30

                     (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 does not affect the term of              6

       Currently, the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences Act 1945 (the Act) provides that       10
       (subject to various provisions of the Act) a trustee of the Museum of Applied Arts and    11
       Sciences is to hold office for 3 years. Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Act    12
       instead requires a trustee to hold office for such period, not exceeding 3 years, as is   13
       specified in the trustee's instrument of appointment. The amendment is consistent with    14
       provision made for the term of office of trustees under the Art Gallery of New South      15
       Wales Act 1980 and the Historic Houses Act 1980 and for the term of like offices under    16

       all or any reasonable costs incurred by the EPA in connection with a prevention notice       17
       from the person to whom the notice was given. Currently section 104 excludes the EPA         18
       from recovering such costs.                                                                  19

       (Investigation) of the Act may be revoked or varied by an authorised officer who is a        21
       member of staff of the authority who gave the notice. Currently section 212A (4) of the      22
       Act enables only the authority or the authorised officer who gave the notice to revoke       23
       or vary the notice.                                                                          24

      Commencement                                                                                  1
      The amendment commences, or is taken to have commenced, on 30 June 2009.                      2
      Explanatory note                                                                              3
      When the Liquor Act 2007 was enacted, a transitional arrangement was included in the          4
      Registered Clubs Act 1976 to allow an existing registered club (that is, a club in respect    5
      of which a certificate of registration was in force before the commencement of the new        6
      liquor licensing scheme on 1 July 2008) that was already operating under unrestricted         7
      trading hours to continue to trade on that basis after that date. The transitional            8
      arrangement as enacted is conditional on the club providing the Casino, Liquor and            9
      Gaming Control Authority, within 12 months of the commencement of the new licensing          10
      scheme, with a statement (verified by statutory declaration) of its current trading hours.   11
      Failure to provide the statement by 1 July 2009 results in the trading hours of the club     12
      reverting to the standard trading period under the Liquor Act 2007 (that is, midnight        13
      closing time) which applies to new clubs licensed under that Act.                            14
      The proposed amendment to the Registered Clubs Act 1976 removes the requirement              15
      for an existing registered club that was operating under unrestricted on-premises            16
      trading hours before 1 July 2008 to provide a statement of its current trading hours in      17
      order to be able to continue to trade on that basis after 1 July 2009.                       18

      The proposed amendments to the Residential Parks Act 1998 (the Act) make it clear            26
      that the Director-General may prosecute any offence under the Act or regulations made        27
      under the Act, without the need for such prosecution to follow on from the investigation     28

      The proposed amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 (the Act) make it              37
      clear that the Tenancy Commissioner may prosecute any offence under the Act or the           38
      regulations made under the Act, without the need for the prosecution to follow on from       39
      the investigation or resolution of a complaint by a landlord or tenant.                      40

                     property to which this clause applies immediately before it was                5
                     vested in the Authority by this Act.                                           6
                     transfer date means the date on which the description of the                   7
                     property to which this clause applies was omitted from                         8

                     For the avoidance of doubt, the amendment of the description of               12
                     a lease listed in Schedule 1 by the Statute Law (Miscellaneous                13
                     Provisions) Act 2009 does not affect the date on which the                    14
                     transfer of that lease was purported to occur.                                15

       Schedule 1 to the State Property Authority Act 2006 (the Act) describes property for        17
       the purpose of effecting its transfer under the Act to the State Property Authority.        18
       Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Act removes from that Schedule                   19
       references to certain properties that do not meet the criteria specified in section 19 of   20
       the Act for inclusion in that Schedule.                                                     21
       Item [2] of the proposed amendments removes a reference to a property that was              22
       mistakenly included in Schedule 1 to the Act. Item [9] of the proposed amendments           23
       provides for the transfer of that property from the State Property Authority back to the    24
       government agency that held the property immediately before the property was listed         25
       in Schedule 1 to the Act. Items [7] and [8] of the proposed amendments make                 26
       consequential amendments.                                                                   27
       Items [3]-[6] of the proposed amendments correct dealing numbers in respect of              28

       Item [9] of the proposed amendments also makes it clear that the corrections made to        30
       Schedule 1 by items [3]-[6] do not affect the date on which the transfers concerned         31
       were purported to have occurred.                                                            32

      The proposed amendment to the Strata Schemes Management Act 1996 (the Act)                     2
      makes it clear that the Director-General may investigate and carry out research into           3
      matters relating to strata schemes, investigate complaints and disputes relating to            4
      strata schemes and prosecute any offence under the Act or the regulations made under           5
      the Act.                                                                                       6

             (4A)      Despite the other provisions of this Part, the following                     12
                       regulations remain in force until 1 September 2010, unless sooner            13
                       repealed:                                                                    14

      Explanatory note                                                                              24
      The Subordinate Legislation Act 1989 (the Act) provides for the automatic repeal of           25
      statutory rules. The repeal takes effect on the fifth anniversary of the date on which the    26
      statutory rule was published (in the case of a statutory rule published on 1 September        27
      in any year) or on 1 September following the fifth anniversary of the date on which it        28
      was published (in any other case)--see section 10 (2) of the Act. Unless it is intended       29
      to allow the statutory rule to lapse, a statutory rule that is due for repeal under the Act   30
      is usually remade in advance of the repeal date.                                              31
      Section 11 of the Act permits the repeal of a statutory rule to be postponed, by order of     32
      the Governor, for a period of one year. However, the repeal of a particular statutory rule    33
      cannot be postponed on more than 5 occasions.                                                 34
      The repeal of each of the Associations Incorporation Regulation 1999, the Day                 35
      Procedure Centres Regulation 1996, the Motor Vehicle Repairs Regulation 1999 and              36
      the Private Hospitals Regulation 1996 has been postponed on 5 occasions. These                37
      Regulations are now due to be repealed on 1 September 2009. However,                          38
      uncommenced legislative reforms involving the repeal and re-enactment of the                  39
      Associations Incorporation Act 1984 and the Private Hospitals and Day Procedure               40
      Centres Act 1988 will have a substantial impact on the matters dealt with by the              41

Minor amendments                                                                 Schedule 1




       Regulations made under those Acts. Amendments to the Motor Vehicle Repairs Act               1
       1980 that may impact on the Motor Vehicle Repairs Regulation 1999 are also likely as         2
       a result of a recent review of that Act by the Better Regulation Office.                     3
       The repeal of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 has been                    4
       postponed on 3 occasions. The Regulation is now due to be repealed on 1 September            5
       2009. However, national model occupational health and safety legislation is currently        6
       being developed, the implementation of which is likely to have a substantial impact on       7
       the content of State occupational health and safety legislation. Currently, the national     8
       timetable for the model legislation requires its implementation by December 2011.            9
       Item [2] of the proposed amendments will keep the current regulatory schemes of the         10
       Regulations in place until such time as replacement provisions come into force under        11
       new or revised legislation. The Associations Incorporation Regulation 1999, the Day         12
       Procedure Centres Regulation 1996, the Motor Vehicle Repairs Regulation 1999 and            13
       the Private Hospitals Regulation 1996 will be kept in force for a further period of one     14
       year after the date on which they would otherwise be repealed by the Act and the            15
       Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 will be kept in force for a further          16
       period of 3 years after the date on which it would otherwise be repealed by the Act.        17
       However, any of the Regulations may be sooner repealed by other legislation.                18
       Items [1] and [3] make consequential amendments.                                            19

       Section 29 of the Supreme Court Act 1970 (the Act) provides that the remuneration           27
       referred to in that section that is payable to a Judge of the Supreme Court is to be paid   28
       so long as the Judge's commission continues in force. The proposed amendment to             29
       the Act clarifies that Judges are not entitled to such remuneration for any period for      30
       which they are on leave without pay (being leave that they have agreed to take).            31

      Currently, the Sydney Opera House Trust Act 1961 (the Act) provides that (subject to       10
      various provisions of the Act) a trustee of The Sydney Opera House Trust is to hold        11
      office for 3 years. Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Act instead requires a      12
      trustee to hold office for such period, not exceeding 3 years, as is specified in the      13
      trustee's instrument of appointment. The amendment is consistent with provision made       14
      for the term of office of trustees under the Art Gallery of New South Wales Act 1980       15
      and the Historic Houses Act 1980 and for the term of like offices under the Film and       16

       Section 91I of the Act makes it an offence to take water from certain water sources           21
       using metering equipment that is not operating properly and to intentionally or               22
       negligently fail to ascertain whether it is operating properly. Item [6] of the proposed      23
       amendments applies the offences contained in that provision to circumstances where            24
       the metering equipment is either not operating properly or is not operating.                  25

       Minister's power to direct a person to take specified measures                                30
       Specified measures is defined in Part 1 of Chapter 7 of the Act to include measures           31
       that involve doing, or refraining from doing, any act. The Act also makes it clear that a     32
       power to direct a person to take specified measures includes a power to direct in what        33
       circumstances, in what order and in what manner those measures are to be taken.               34

       Currently, for the purposes of a stop work order under sections 327 and 328 of the Act        40
       or a direction to protect a water source under section 333 of the Act, the landholder on      41
       whose land a water management work is situated is taken to have control and                   42
       management of the work and the landholder on whose land a controlled activity or              43
       aquifer interference activity is carried out is taken to be carrying out the activity.        44
       Item [11] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that, for the purposes of a stop          45
       work order, the landholder on whose land the water management work is proposed to             46
       be situated is taken to have control and management of the work. Item [12] of the             47
       proposed amendments makes it clear that the landholder on whose land a controlled             48

       relevant time was the owner of the land on which the controlled activity or aquifer                5
       interference activity was carried out, is taken to be carrying out that activity. Item [18]        6
       of the proposed amendments also makes the amendments proposed in items [11] and                    7

       Section 333 of the Act provides that the Minister may make certain directions by order            12
       on a person if the Minister is of the opinion that an activity is having, has had, or is likely   13
       to have, an adverse effect on a water source or waterfront land. Items [16] and [17] of           14
       the proposed amendments make it clear that the Minister may serve an order on a                   15
       person who has carried out, is carrying out or proposes to carry out a controlled activity        16
       or aquifer interference activity.                                                                 17
       Item [19] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that a direction served on a                  18

                        enactment of Legal Profession Act 2004                                   2

      The Legal Profession Act 2004 introduced new terms to distinguish between different        4
      types of lawyers. In particular, the Act introduced the concept of an Australian lawyer    5
      (a person who is admitted to the legal profession under the Act or a corresponding law)    6
      and an Australian legal practitioner (an Australian lawyer who holds a current local       7
      practising certificate or a current interstate practising certificate). Currently, the     8
      meanings of Australian legal practitioner and Australian lawyer are contained in the       9
      Interpretation Act 1987 for ease of reference in other Acts.                              10

      The proposed amendments provide that the existing references to a legal practitioner      16

      representation during an inquiry under that Act, or representation in any proceedings     18
      arising under the consumer credit legislation before a court or the Consumer, Trader      19
      and Tenancy Tribunal, are references to an Australian lawyer who holds a current          20
      practising certificate.                                                                   21

      (3)    In this clause:                                                                      1
             amending SEPP means a State environmental planning policy (or                        2
             deemed State environmental planning policy) that directly amends or                  3

             ancillary provision of an amending SEPP means any of the following:                  6

              (c) a provision that specifies the aims, objectives, objects, policies or          11
                    strategies of the amending SEPP,                                             12
             (d) a provision that specifies the land to which the amending SEPP                  13

              (f) a provision that declares that notes in the amending SEPP do not               17
                    form part of the amending SEPP,                                              18
             (g) a provision that defines a word or expression used in the                       19
                    amending SEPP,                                                               20
             (h) a savings or transitional provision consequent on the making of                 21
                    the amending SEPP,                                                           22
              (i) a provision that amends or replaces maps adopted by another                    23
                    environmental planning instrument,                                           24
              (j) a provision that gives effect to or describes a schedule to the                25
                    amending SEPP.                                                               26
      Explanatory note                                                                           27
      Clause 1 repeals Acts and an instrument that are redundant.                                28
      Clause 2 repeals redundant provisions of Acts.                                             29
      Clause 3 repeals provisions of Acts that contain only amendments to other Acts or          30
      instruments. All of the amendments have commenced.                                         31
      Clause 4 repeals State environmental planning policies that contain only amendments        32
      and ancillary provisions.                                                                  33
      In relation to the repeal of amending provisions, it should be noted that the provisions   34
      are repealed simply to rationalise the legislation in force and that the repeals have no   35
      substantive effect on the amendments made by the provisions, or any associated             36
      provisions. The Acts and instruments that were amended by the provisions being             37
      repealed are up-to-date on the NSW legislation website maintained by the                   38
      Parliamentary Counsel's Office (www.legislation.nsw.gov.au).                               39
      Section 30 (2) of the Interpretation Act 1987 ensures that the following matters are not   40
      affected when an Act or statutory rule is amended or repealed:                             41
       (a)    the proof of any past act or thing,                                                42

 1    Effect of amendment of amending provisions                                                 3

      (1)    An amendment made by Schedule 1 or 2 to an amending provision                       4
             contained in an Act is, if the amending provision has commenced before              5
             the Schedule 1 or 2 amendment concerned, taken to have effect as from               6
             the commencement of the amending provision (whether or not the                      7
             amending provision has been repealed).                                              8

      (2)    In this clause:                                                                     9
             amending provision means a provision of an Act that makes a direct                 10
             amendment to an Act by:                                                            11
              (a) the repeal or omission of matter contained in the amended Act                 12
                    without the insertion of any matter instead of the repealed or              13
                    omitted matter, or                                                          14
             (b) the omission of matter contained in the amended Act and the                    15
                    insertion of matter instead of the omitted matter, or                       16
              (c) the insertion into the amended Act of matter, not being matter                17
                    inserted instead of matter omitted from the Act.                            18
      Explanatory note                                                                          19
      This clause ensures that certain amendments, including amendments correcting errors       20
      in technical provisions (for example, headings indicating the section to be amended or    21
      directions as to where a new section is to be inserted) and rectifying minor drafting     22
      errors (for example, corrections in numbering of provisions, correction or insertion of   23
      cross-references, omission of unnecessary matter or insertion of omitted matter), will    24
      be taken to have commenced on the date the amendments to which they relate                25
      commenced.                                                                                26

 2    Effect of amendment or repeal on acts done or decisions made                              27

             Except where it is expressly provided to the contrary, if this Act:                28
             (a) amends a provision of an Act or an instrument, or                              29
             (b) repeals and re-enacts (with or without modification) a provision               30
                    of an Act or an instrument,                                                 31
             any act done or decision made under the provision amended or repealed              32
             has effect after the amendment or repeal as if it had been done or made            33
             under the provision as so amended or repealed.                                     34
      Explanatory note                                                                          35
      This clause ensures that the amendment or repeal of a provision will not, unless          36
      expressly provided, vitiate any act done or decision made under the provision as in       37
      force before the amendment or repeal.                                                     38

       (3)    Subclause (2) does not operate in respect of any Act or instrument so as:           19
