PRIMARY INDUSTRIES LEVIES AND CHARGES REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT) 1997 NO.208

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

STATUTORY RULES 1997 No. 208

Issued by Authority of the Minister for Primary Industries and Energy

Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991

Primary Industries Levies and Charges Regulations (Amendment)

Section 30 of the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991 (the Collection Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing all matters required or permitted by the Act to be prescribed, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for the purposes of carrying out or giving effect to the Collection Act, in particular the making of provisions in relation to the payment of levy or amounts on account of levy and other amounts payable to the Commonwealth.

The purpose of the proposed regulations is to:

* Omit "office of the Department" and substitute "office of the Secretary to the Department" (Regulation 3);

* amend the address of the Secretary to the Department of Primary Industries and Energy (Regulation 8) for the purpose of levy collections.

This has been brought about by the closure of the former Queen Victoria Terrace Post Office.

It is proposed that the regulations commence on gazettal.
