professional misconduct or unsatisfactory professional conduct, compliance with either of those
sections (or with alternative reporting requirements approved by the Health Secretary) satisfies the
requirements of both sections.
The proposed amendment also provides that a report made under section 99A of the Health Services
Act 1997 is taken to be a complaint for the purposes of Part 8 of the Health Practitioner Regulation
National Law (NSW) and for the purposes of the Health Care Complaints Act 1993. This will enable

Schedule 1 Minor amendments
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment omits a section that allows the Secretary to waive or refund fees, including
the annual rental fee or administrative levy for authorisations payable under Part 14A of the Mining

1.13 Plantations and Reafforestation Act 1999 No 97
[1] Section 4 Definitions
Omit "Industry and Investment" from the definition of Department in section 4 (1).
Insert instead "Planning, Industry and Environment".

The amendments to the Plantations and Reafforestation Act 1999 commence on 1 July 2019.
Explanatory note
Item [5] of the proposed amendments allows the public register of authorised plantations to be made
available for inspection on a Government website. Currently, the register must be made available on
a specific Departmental website.
Item [6] updates the requirements for exhibition specified in the current provision by allowing a draft
Plantations and Reafforestation Code to be exhibited for public consultation at the head office of the

South Wales Procurement Board, so that only the heads of Public Service Departments may be

Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019 [NSW]
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
appointed. The provision was transferred into the principal Act by Schedule 6.7 to the Government
Sector Employment Act 2013 (the GSE Act), and subsequently amended in 2017 as a consequence
of clause 12 of Schedule 4 to the GSE Act. The inadvertent effect of the 2017 amendment was to
change the operation of the provision transferred into the principal Act by the GSE Act. The proposed
amendment restores the effect of the transferred provision.
1.15 Registered Clubs Act 1976 No 31
Section 49
Omit the section. Insert instead:

and of the amendments certified as correct by the secretary of the club
within one month after the request.
(2) Notice of an amendment or a copy of the rules and amendments may be lodged
electronically or in another manner approved by the Secretary.
Maximum penalty: 5 penalty units.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment provides that a registered club is required to notify the Secretary of any
change to the club's rules (rather than providing the Secretary with a copy of the rules and the
changes) and requires a club to provide a copy of the rules and the changes if requested by the
Secretary.
1.16 Road Transport Act 2013 No 18
[1] Section 67A
Omit the section. Insert instead:
67A Transfer of ownership of heavy vehicle number-plates to authority of another
jurisdiction
Despite section 67, a heavy vehicle number-plate issued by the Authority in
connection with the registration of a heavy vehicle becomes, on the
subsequent registration of that heavy vehicle by an authority of another
jurisdiction under a corresponding law, the property of that authority.
[2] Section 145 Offences involving death, injury or damage resulting from unsafe loads
Omit "Load Restraint Guide: Guidelines and performance standards for the safe carriage
of loads on road vehicles, Second Edition, as published by the National Transport
Commission in April 2004" from section 145 (6).
Insert instead:
following documents published by the National Transport Commission as in
force from time to time:

Schedule 1 Minor amendments
[3] Section 271A National Facial Biometric Matching Capability
Insert "associated" after "any photographs and" in section 271A (5).
Explanatory note
Item [1] of the proposed amendments extends a provision that enables the transfer of ownership of
heavy vehicle number-plates to road authorities so that it applies to authorities of all other
jurisdictions. Currently, the provision is limited to road authorities of jurisdictions to which the Heavy
Vehicle National Law applies.
Item [2] updates a reference to national standards that provides basic safety principles for the safe
carriage of loads on road vehicles.
Item [3] makes it clear that the personal information an authorised government agency may release

of Loads on Road Vehicles, Second Edition" from clause 50R (4).
Insert instead "Load Restraint Guide for Light Vehicles 2018".
[2] Schedule 5 Penalty notice offences

Rules 2014.
[3] Schedule 5
Omit "Clause 129 (1)," where secondly occurring in the matter relating to Road Transport

Heavy Vehicle National Law (NSW).".

Omit "by a road authority of a participating" from clause 23 (6).
Insert instead "under a corresponding law of another".

Schedule 1 Minor amendments
(5A) Subclause (5) does not apply to a number-plate issued by the Authority in
respect of a heavy vehicle that becomes the property of an authority of another
jurisdiction because of the operation of section 67A of the Act.
Explanatory note
Items [1]-[3] of the proposed amendments extend provisions that enable the transfer of ownership of
heavy vehicle number-plates to road authorities of jurisdictions in which the Heavy Vehicle National
Law applies so that the provisions apply to any entity that is authorised to register vehicles under a
corresponding law of another jurisdiction. Currently, the provisions are limited to those number-plates
issued by road authorities of jurisdictions in which the Heavy Vehicle National Law applies.
Item [4] is consequential on a proposed amendment made to the Road Transport Act 2013 in this
Schedule.

Section 42 State Rescue Board
Omit section 42 (2). Insert instead:
(2) The Board has the functions conferred or imposed on it by or under this or any
other Act.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment removes a reference to the State Rescue Board as a statutory body
representing the Crown, as the Board was dissolved as a corporation by the Emergency Services
Legislation Amendment Act 2018 and no longer requires the status, privileges and immunities of the
Crown.
1.20 Statutory and Other Offices Remuneration Act 1975 (1976 No 4)
[1] Section 10A Definitions
Insert in alphabetical order:
head of a Public Service agency has the same meaning as in the Government

Page 10
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019 [NSW]
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
Explanatory note
The proposed amendments enable the Minister to delegate to the head of a Public Service agency or
a person employed in a Public Service agency responsible to the Minister the functions of approving
and revoking certain salary sacrifice arrangements relating to motor vehicles for private use,
employee superannuation contributions and living away from home expenses.
1.21 Subordinate Legislation Act 1989 No 146
Schedule 5 Further postponement of repeal of certain statutory rules
Insert after clause 9:
10 Postponement of repeal of other statutory rules due for repeal in 2019
The following statutory rules remain in force until 1 September 2020, unless
sooner repealed:
(a) Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Regulation
2008,
(b) Building Professionals Regulation 2007,
(c) Local Government (General) Regulation 2005,
(d) Local Government (Manufactured Home Estates, Caravan Parks,
Camping Grounds and Moveable Dwellings) Regulation 2005,
(e) Protection of the Environment Operations (General) Regulation 2009,
(f) Tow Truck Industry Regulation 2008,
(g) Water Industry Competition (Access to Infrastructure Services)
Regulation 2007,
(h) Water Industry Competition (General) Regulation 2008.
11 Postponement of repeal of Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Regulation 2008
The Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Regulation 2008 remains in force until 1
September 2021, unless sooner repealed.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment keeps a number of statutory rules in force for a further period of 1 year (or
2 years in one case) after the date on which they would otherwise be repealed by the Subordinate
Legislation Act 1989. However, any of the statutory rules may be repealed sooner by other legislation.
The proposed amendment is necessary as the statutory rules have each been postponed on at least
5 occasions and are due to be repealed by the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989 on 1 September
2019.
Each of the statutory rules continues to be required and the repeal of each of the statutory rules is to
be further postponed until 1 September 2020 (or 1 September 2021 in the case of the Poisons and
Therapeutic Goods Regulation 2008) for the following reasons:
(a) It is considered that it would be premature to remake the Building and Construction Industry
Security of Payment Regulation 2008 before the commencement of amendments to the
Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999, which are contained in the
as yet uncommenced Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Amendment Act
2018.
(b) The Building Professionals Act 2005 and the Building Professionals Regulation 2007 are due
to be repealed on the commencement of the Building and Development Certifiers Act 2018. It
is therefore considered unnecessary to remake the Building Professionals Regulation 2007.
(c) The Department of Planning and Environment is currently reviewing the Local Government Act
1993, including the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 and the Local Government
(Manufactured Home Estates, Caravan Parks, Camping Grounds and Moveable Dwellings)
Regulation 2005. It is considered that it would be premature to remake the Regulations before
the conclusion of that review.
(d) The Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 is currently under comprehensive
review. It is considered that it would be premature to remake the Protection of the Environment
Operations (General) Regulation 2009 before the conclusion of that review.
Page 11
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019 [NSW]
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
(e) The Tow Truck Industry Regulation 2008 has been the subject of a comprehensive review with
significant consultation with key stakeholders in early 2019. It is considered prudent to extend
the automatic repeal date for the regulation to ensure the outcomes of the review, and the
outcomes of public consultation on the proposed Tow Truck Industry Regulation 2019, are
carefully and fully considered and the regulation appropriately remade.
(f) The Water Industry Competition (Access to Infrastructure Services) Regulation 2007 relates
to an access regime under Part 3 of the Water Industry Competition Act 2006 that is certified
as an effective access regime under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 of the
Commonwealth until 2019. The certification may be renewed later this year and it is
considered premature to review or remake the Regulation before a decision is made about that
recertification.
(g) The Water Industry Competition Act 2006 and the Water Industry Competition Amendment
(Review) Act 2014 (which, when fully commenced, makes significant amendments to the
Water Industry Competition Act 2006) are currently under comprehensive review. It is
considered that it would be premature to remake the Water Industry Competition (General)
Regulation 2008 before the conclusion of that review.
(h) The Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 1966 is currently under comprehensive review. It is
considered that it would be premature to remake the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods
Regulation 2008 before the conclusion of that review.
1.22 Sydney Water Act 1994 No 88
[1] Schedule 5 Annual report of Corporation
Omit "exceeds $30,000" from clause 3 (c) (i). Insert instead "is or exceeds $50,000".
[2] Schedule 5, clause 3 (c) (ii)
Omit "$30,000" wherever occurring. Insert instead "$50,000".
Explanatory note
The proposed amendments vary the cost threshold for the inclusion by Sydney Water Corporation in
its annual report of certain details relating to consultants engaged by Sydney Water Corporation each
financial year. The amendments will remove an inconsistency between this threshold and the
threshold in the Annual Reports (Statutory Bodies) Regulation 2015.
