An Act to repeal certain Acts and regulations, to amend certain other Acts and
statutory instruments in various respects and for the purpose of effecting statute law
revision; and to make certain savings.
I have examined this Bill, and find it to correspond in all respects with the Bill as

Chairman of Committees of the Legislative Assembly.

Minor amendments Schedule 1
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
(Section 3)
1.1 Administrative Decisions Legislation Amendment Act 1997 No 77
Schedule 1 Amendments concerning abolished Community Services
Appeals Tribunal
Omit Schedule 1.10.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment omits the following uncommenced amendments:
(a) an amendment to the definition of Community Services Appeals Tribunal in section
3 (1) of the Guardianship Act 1987,
(b) a provision repealing and re-enacting section 97 of that Act as presently enacted.
Both section 97 as presently enacted (which has not been commenced) and the definition
concerned are repealed by amendments to the Guardianship Act 1987 proposed to be made
elsewhere in this Schedule.
1.2 Adoption Act 2000 No 75
Section 53 Ways in which parent or guardian can give consent
Insert at the end of the section:
(2) Nothing in this section prevents the Director-General or principal
officer from selecting an adoptive parent or parents for the
purposes of subsection (1) (a) from one or more of the classes of
persons referred to in subsection (1) (b).
Explanatory note
Section 53 of the Adoption Act 2000 allows a parent or guardian to give general consent to
a child's adoption (by an adoptive parent selected by the Director-General of the Department
of Community Services or the principal officer of an accredited adoption agency), or to give
specific consent to adoption by a relation or foster parent of the child specified in section
53 (b).
The proposed amendment will make it clear that the giving of a general consent does not
prevent the Director-General or officer from selecting a person specified in section 53 (b) as the
adoptive parent.
1.3 Building and Construction Industry Long Service Payments
Act 1986 No 19
[1] Section 8 Constitution of Committee
Omit "the Employers' Federation of New South Wales" from section 8 (2) (c).
Insert instead "Employers First".
Page 3
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
[2] Section 37 Person liable to pay long service levy
Omit section 37 (1) (a). Insert instead:
(a) in a case where development consent, a construction
certificate or a complying development certificate is
required to be obtained under the Environmental Planning
and Assessment Act 1979 for the erection of the building:
(i) if development consent is granted and a
construction certificate is not required to be
obtained--the person to whom the development
consent is granted, or
(ii) if a construction certificate is required to be
obtained--the person to whom the construction
certificate is issued, or
(iii) if a complying development certificate is
issued--the person to whom the complying
development certificate is issued, or
[3] Section 40 Determination of cost of erecting building for purposes of
this Part
Omit section 40 (1) (a). Insert instead:
(a) the cost as determined by:
(i) the consent authority granting the development
consent referred to in section 37 (1) (a) (if a
construction certificate is not required to be
obtained), or
(ii) the certifying authority issuing the construction
certificate referred to in section 37 (1) (a) (if a
construction certificate is required to be obtained),
or
(iii) the certifying authority issuing the complying
development certificate referred to in section 37 (1)
(a) (if a complying development certificate is
issued), or
[4] Section 40 (2)
Omit "council". Insert instead "consent authority or certifying authority".
[5] Section 49 Appeal against refusal or cancellation of registration
Omit "19 (1)" from section 49 (4) (a). Insert instead "19 (1A)".
Page 4
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Minor amendments Schedule 1
[6] Schedule 1 Provisions relating to members and procedure of
Committee
Omit "the Employers' Federation of New South Wales" from clause 7 (2) (b).
Insert instead "Employers First".
Explanatory note
At present, section 37 of the Building and Construction Industry Long Service Payments
Act 1986 provides that, if a development consent or complying development certificate is
required to be obtained under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 in respect
of the erection of a building, the person liable to pay the long service levy is the person to whom
the development consent or complying development certificate is granted. Section 40 provides
for the determination of the cost of erecting a building (in relation to long service levies) by "the
consent authority or person granting or issuing the relevant development consent or complying
development certificate referred to in section 37 (1) (a)", and has a subsequent reference to "the
determination of a council of the cost of erecting a building".
Item [2] of the proposed amendments amends section 37 in respect of cases where a
construction certificate is required to be obtained under the Environmental Planning and
Assessment Act 1979. In those cases, the levy is to be payable by the person to whom the
construction certificate is issued.
Item [3] of the proposed amendments makes a similar amendment to section 40, so as to
provide that the determination of the cost of erecting a building in cases where a construction
certificate is required to be obtained is to be made by the certifying authority issuing the
construction certificate. Item [4] replaces the reference to "a council", since a consent authority
or a certifying authority is not necessarily a council.
Items [1] and [6] of the proposed amendments update references to a body that has changed
its name.
Item [5] corrects an incorrect cross-reference.
1.4 Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998
No 157
[1] Section 45 Prompt application to Children's Court for care order
Omit section 45 (1) (b). Insert instead:
(b) an assessment order (within the meaning of Division 6 of
this Part),
[2] Section 79 Order allocating parental responsibility
Insert "the Minister or" before "another" in section 79 (1) (a) (ii).
[3] Section 156 Review of voluntary out-of-home care arrangements
Omit "held" from section 156 (4).
Insert instead "conducted by the Director-General".
Page 5
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
[4] Section 161 Financial assistance for children and young persons in out-
of-home care
Omit "in out-of-home care" from section 161 (2) (a).
Explanatory note
At present, section 45 (1) (b) of the Act, which is in Division 1 of Part 1 of Chapter 5, refers to
"an examination and assessment order". Division 6 of that Part effectively defines assessment
order to include an examination order. Item [1] of the proposed amendments repeals section
45 (1) (b) and replaces it with a reference to an assessment order within the meaning of
Division 6.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the Minister can be one of the
persons amongst whom parental responsibility for a child can be shared under section 79.
Item [3] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that all periodic reviews under section 156
must be conducted by the Director-General, and not merely the first such review.
Item [4] of the proposed amendments omits unnecessary words.
1.5 Coal Ownership (Restitution) Act 1990 No 19
[1] Section 3 Definitions
Omit the definition of Coal Compensation Fund Account.
[2] Section 6 Eligible claimant must refund compensation
Omit section 6 (2).
Explanatory note
The Coal Compensation Board is a statutory body for the purposes of Division 3 of Part 3
(Audit) of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983. It is required under that Act to keep proper
accounts and records in relation to all of its operations and to prepare annual financial
statements for auditing by the Auditor-General.
The effect of the proposed amendments is to require the Board to pay all money that it receives
under section 6 of the Coal Ownership (Restitution) Act 1990 to the Consolidated Fund instead
of to the Coal Compensation Fund Account (which no longer exists).
Currently, section 6 (2) of the Coal Ownership (Restitution) Act 1990 requires the money (which
comprises refunds of compensation that was paid in respect of the acquisition of coal by the
Crown under the Coal Acquisition Act 1981) to be paid into the Coal Compensation Fund
Account (which is defined in section 3). Section 6 (2) is the only provision of the Act that
makes use of the defined term.
Item [1] of the proposed amendments repeals the definition and item [2] omits section 6 (2).
Page 6
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Minor amendments Schedule 1
1.6 Community Land Management Act 1989 No 202
Section 75 Service of copy of order
Omit "certified" from section 75 (2).
Explanatory note
At present, the Registrar of the Residential Tribunal (which is to be replaced by the Consumer,
Trader and Tenancy Tribunal) is required to serve a certified copy of an order made by a
Community Schemes Adjudicator under Division 3 of Part 4 of the Community Land
Management Act 1989 on each of the persons specified in section 75 (2) of that Act.
The proposed amendment removes the requirement that the copy be certified.
1.7 Companion Animals Act 1998 No 87
[1] Section 5 Definitions
Omit the definition of registration tag.
[2] Section 12 Dog to wear collar and tag
Omit section 12 (1) (b).
[3] Section 12 (3)
Omit "The regulations may provide that a registration tag can show the
information required to be shown on a name tag and for that to be sufficient
compliance with the requirement to have a name tag attached to a dog's collar.".
[4] Section 29 Cat to wear form of identification
Omit section 29 (1) (b).
[5] Section 73 Registration tag
Omit the section.
[6] Section 77 Offence of interfering with registration tag
Omit the section.
[7] Section 96 Regulations
Omit "or replacement identification tags" from section 96 (2) (c).
[8] Schedule 3 Savings and transitional provisions
Insert after clause 3 (6):
(6A) Sections 12 (1) (b) and 77 (and the definition of registration tag),
as in force immediately before their repeal by the Statute Law
(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 2001, continue to apply
Page 7
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
during the transition period in relation to a dog to which this clause
applies as if those provisions had not been repealed. However (and
despite subclause (6)), section 12 (1) (b) does not apply if the dog
is identified in accordance with the regulations.
(6B) Without limiting subclause (6A), and for avoidance of doubt, it is
declared that a person may be prosecuted (and a penalty notice
may be served) for an offence committed during the transition
period under section 12 or 77 in relation to a dog, or the
registration tag of a dog, to which this clause applies.
Note. The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 2001 repealed
the provisions of this Act (including sections 12 (1) (b) and 77) that deal with
registration tags for companion animals.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendments repeal the provisions of the Companion Animals Act 1998 that
relate to registration tags for companion animals registered under the Act. The information that
a registration tag must contain is also contained in the microchip that all companion animals that
are required to be identified for the purposes of section 8 of the Act must have implanted.
Item [5] of the proposed amendments repeals section 73 of the Act. That section requires the
Director-General of the Department of Local Government to provide the registered owner of a
companion animal with a registration tag for the animal.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments repeals section 12 (1) (b), which requires a dog that is
registered under the Act to wear a collar with the current registration tag attached.
Item [4] of the proposed amendments repeals section 29 (1) (b), which imposes the same
requirement in respect of a cat that is registered under the Act.
Item [1] of the proposed amendments repeals the now superfluous definition of registration
tag.
Items [3] and [7] of the proposed amendments repeal regulation-making powers in respect of
registration tags. (The reference in section 96 (2) (c) to "identification" tags is a typographical
mistake. The reference should be to "registration" tags, as the Act does not provide for
identification tags.)
Item [6] of the proposed amendments omits the provision that creates the offence of interfering
with a registration tag.
Item [8] of the proposed amendments inserts transitional provisions in relation to dogs
registered under the Dog Act 1966. The transitional provisions provide that the repealed
sections 12 (1) (b) and 77 (and the repealed definition of registration tag) continue to apply
in respect of those dogs during the transition period (which is currently scheduled to end on
30 September 2002).
1.8 Co-operatives Act 1992 No 18
[1] Section 141 Set-off of amounts repaid etc on forfeited shares
Omit "section 140" from section 141 (2). Insert instead "section 139".
Page 8
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Minor amendments Schedule 1
[2] Schedule 6 Savings and transitional provisions
Insert ", and any other loan made in accordance with a proposal referred to in
section 268 that was approved before that commencement," after "before the
commencement of section 268A" in clause 31A.
Commencement
Item [2] of the amendments to the Co-operatives Act 1992 commences, or is taken to have
commenced, on the commencement of clause 31A of Schedule 6 to that Act.
Explanatory note
Interest payable on compulsory loans
Section 268 of the Co-operatives Act 1992 (the Act) enables a co-operative to require its
members to lend money to it in accordance with a proposal approved by special resolution of
the co-operative. Section 268A, which commenced on 1 December 1997, provides for the rate
of interest payable on such a loan.
Clause 31A of Schedule 6 to the Act (which is to be inserted by the Co-operatives Legislation
Amendment Act 2001) is a savings provision to the effect that a loan made before the
commencement of section 268A continues to be payable at the same rate of interest as that
in relation to which it was made as if section 268A had not been enacted.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments extends the operation of clause 31A to loans arising from
proposals approved before the commencement of section 268A, even if the loans were or are
made after the commencement of that section.
Statute law revision
Item [1] of the proposed amendments corrects an incorrect cross-reference.
1.9 Defamation Act 1974 No 18
[1] Section 17QA Matters relating to the Protected Disclosures Act 1994
Insert "or local government money" after "public money".
[2] Section 17QA (2)
Insert at the end of section 17QA:
(2) In this section, local government money includes all revenue,
loans and other money collected, received or held by, for or on
account of:
(a) a council, or
(b) a county council,
within the meaning of the Local Government Act 1993.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendments are consequential on amendments to the Protected Disclosures
Act 1994 proposed to be made elsewhere in this Schedule. Those amendments afford the
protection of that Act to certain disclosures made in relation to serious and substantial waste
of local government money.

Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
1.10 Employment Agents Act 1996 No 18
Section 25 Performance of Director-General's functions
Omit "Department of Industrial Relations".
Insert instead "Department of Fair Trading".
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment omits a reference to the Department that formerly administered the
Employment Agents Act 1996 and replaces it with a reference to the Department that currently
does so.
1.11 Fines Act 1996 No 99
Schedule 1 Statutory provisions under which penalty notices issued
Insert in alphabetical order:
Mining Act 1992, section 375A
Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991, section 137A
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment provides for the enforcement of penalty notices ("on-the-spot fines")
issued under the Mining Act 1992 and the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991.
1.12 Geographical Names Act 1966 No 13
[1] Section 2 Definitions
Omit the definitions of Prescribed and Regulations.
[2] Section 3 Geographical Names Board
Omit "eight members" from section 3 (2). Insert instead "9 members".
[3] Section 3 (2) (b)

of Director-General of the Department of Urban Affairs
and Planning, or an officer of that Department nominated
by the Director-General,
[4] Section 3 (2) (e)

Item [5] provides for the additional member of the board to be a nominee of the Chairperson

Item [8] provides for the making of submissions in relation to a proposed name or alteration (at
present, only objections may be made).

1.13 Guardianship Act 1987 No 257
[1] Section 3 Definitions

Insert instead "Adoption Act 2000".
[3] Section 31D Tribunal may give directions
Omit "Adoption Information Act 1990" from section 31D (2) (b).
Insert instead "Adoption Act 2000".
[4] Section 33A Person responsible
Omit "the person having parental responsibility for the child within the meaning
of the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998" from
section 33A (2).
Insert instead "the person having parental responsibility (within the meaning of
the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998) for the child".

[9] Section 108 (1) (g)
Omit "and the issue of licences".
[10] Schedule 2 Provisions relating to licences
Omit the Schedule.
Commencement
Items [2] and [3] of the proposed amendments commence (or are taken to have commenced)
on the commencement of Schedule 3 to the Adoption Act 2000.
Explanatory note
Part 8 of the Guardianship Act 1987 requires residential centres and occupational centres (as
defined in that Act) to be licensed, and makes general provision in respect of those centres.
Schedule 2 to the Act contains provisions relating to the licences. Section 97 of the Act
provides for appeals against certain decisions made under Part 8 or Schedule 2. Part 8, section
97 and Schedule 2 have not commenced. Section 99 of the Act deals with certain notices and
other instruments required, by or under the Act, to be served on any person. The only such
Page 13
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
notices or instruments are those under Part 8 and Schedule 2. It is not now intended that
residential centres or occupational centres be established under the Guardianship Act 1987.
Accordingly:
(a) item [1] of the proposed amendments repeals the definitions relating to such centres
(including the definition of the body to whom appeals were to be made under section 97),
and
(b) item [5] repeals Part 8, and
(c) item [6] repeals section 97, and
(d) item [7] repeals section 99, and
(e) item [8] repeals a power to make regulations for or with respect to "the establishment,
operation and management of residential centres and occupational centres", and
(f) item [9] repeals a power to make regulations for or with respect to the imposition, waiver
and remission of fees and charges in relation to "the issue of licences", and
(g) item [10] repeals Schedule 2.
Item [1] also repeals the definition of a term ("maintenance") that is no longer used in the Act.
Items [2] and [3] of the proposed amendments update references to an Act that is to be
repealed by the Adoption Act 2000.
Item [4] of the proposed amendments removes a possible ambiguity in section 33A of the Act
by making it clear that the term "parental responsibility" (rather than the word "child") carries the
same meaning in that section as it does in the Children and Young Persons (Care and
Protection) Act 1998.
1.14 Health Administration Act 1982 No 135
Section 20B Establishment of Medical Services Committee
Omit "the New South Wales Branch of the Australian Association of
Consultant Physicians" from section 20B (2) (b) (v).
Insert instead "the Internal Medicine Society of Australia & New Zealand
Incorporated".
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment:
(a) updates the name of a body (the Australian Association of Consultant Physicians) that has
amalgamated with another body (the New Zealand Society of Consultant Physicians), and
(b) omits a now superfluous reference to the "New South Wales Branch" of the earlier body.
1.15 Home Building Act 1989 No 147
[1] Section 3 Definitions
Omit the bullet points from the definitions of dwelling, gasfitting work, kit
home, plumbing work and residential building work in section 3 (1) and move

Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Minor amendments Schedule 1
[2] Section 10 Enforceability of contracts and other rights
Omit section 10 (1)-(3). Insert instead:
(1) A person who contracts to do any residential building work, or any
specialist work, and who so contracts:
(a) in contravention of section 4 (Unlicensed contracting), or
(b) under a contract to which the requirements of section 7
apply that is not in writing or that does not have sufficient
description of the work to which it relates (not being a
contract entered into in the circumstances described in
section 6 (2)), or
(c) in contravention of any other provision of this Act or the
regulations that is prescribed for the purposes of this
paragraph,
is not entitled to damages or to enforce any other remedy in
respect of a breach of the contract committed by any other party to

subsection,
is not entitled to damages or to enforce any other remedy in
respect of a breach of the contract committed by any other party to
the contract, and the contract is unenforceable by the person who
contracted to do the building consultancy work. However, the
person is liable for damages and subject to any other remedy in
respect of a breach of the contract committed by the person.
[5] Section 48K Jurisdiction of Tribunal in relation to building claims (as
inserted by Schedule 4 to the Home Building Legislation Amendment
Act 2001)
Insert "to which none of subsections (3), (4), (6) and (7) applies" after

Home Building Act 1989 (and section 18R, which is to be inserted in that Act by the Home
Building Legislation Amendment Act 2001) so as to clarify the operation of those sections and
ensure that they do not have the unintended effect of rendering a building contract wholly
unenforceable at the suit of the building contractor merely because of that contractor's very
minor contravention of certain provisions of the Act.
Jurisdiction of Fair Trading Tribunal in relation to building claims
Section 48K (which is to be inserted in the Home Building Act 1989 by the Home Building
Legislation Amendment Act 2001) sets out the jurisdiction of the Fair Trading Tribunal (which

(b) section 48K (4) mirrors section 89B (3) (with one addition),
(c) section 48K (6) mirrors section 89B (4),

(e) section 48K (8) mirrors section 89B (6) (with one inadvertent omission).

Tribunal Act 1992 to make it perfectly clear that services (such as the granting of licences and
approvals) provided under Chapter 3 of the Water Management Act 2000 are to be taken to be
provided by the Water Administration Ministerial Corporation (despite the fact that, under that
Act, they are provided by the Minister administering that Act).
The amendment will ensure that section 4 (6) will have its intended effect of allowing such
services to be made the subject of standing references to the Independent Pricing and
Regulatory Tribunal (by the inclusion of the Water Administration Ministerial Corporation in
Schedule 1 to the Act.

the costs of those Councils in carrying out the new functions to be met from the Public Purpose

The proposed amendment provides for the making to the Director-General of the Department
of Local Government of complaints, by certain persons, about the conduct of councils and
officers of councils.
Related amendments to the Protected Disclosures Act 1994 proposed to be made elsewhere

of local government money.

Omit clause 11.
[2] Schedule 6 Savings, transitional and other provisions
Omit clauses 40 and 41.

Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Minor amendments Schedule 1
1.22 Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000 No 40
[1] Section 4 Definitions
Insert "but, despite the definition of mine in the latter Act, does include a coal
preparation plant that is a declared plant under Part 5A of that Act" after "the
Coal Mines Regulation Act 1982" in the definition of mine.
[2] Section 133 Application of Act to mines: references to WorkCover
Insert ", or a reference to the Minister administering any of those Acts" after
"Coal Mines Regulation Act 1982".
Explanatory Note
Meaning of "mine"
Division 2 of Part 5 (Powers of inspectors), sections 86 (Notification of accidents and other
matters) and 87 (Non-disturbance of plant etc) and Part 6 (Investigation, improvement and
prohibition notices) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000 (the Act) do not apply to
mines (because provisions with respect to the matters dealt with by the non-applicable
provisions are contained in other legislation, such as the Coal Mines Regulation Act 1982).
The Act defines mine as meaning "a mine within the meaning of the Mines Inspection Act 1901
or the Coal Mines Regulation Act 1982". The definition of mine in the latter Act specifically
excludes "a coal preparation plant that is a declared plant under Part 5A". As such plants are
not mines for the purposes of the Act, the provisions of the Act that do not apply to mines do
apply to the plants. The plants are also regulated under Part 5A of the Coal Mines Regulation
Act 1982. Consequently, there is a duplication of certain investigative and enforcement
provisions in relation to the plants.
Item [1] of the proposed amendments removes that duplication by providing (in effect) that the
provisions of the Act that do not apply to mines also do not apply to coal preparation plants that
are declared plant under Part 5A of the Coal Mines Regulation Act 1982.
References to WorkCover in application of Act to mines
Section 133 of the Act currently allows the regulations to provide that, in connection with the
application of any provision of the Act to a mine, a reference in the provision to WorkCover is
taken to be or include a reference to a specified government department or agency, or an
officer of a government department or agency, exercising functions in connection with the
administration of the Mines Inspection Act 1901 or the Coal Mines Regulation Act 1982.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments allows the regulations also to deem such a reference to
be a reference to the Minister administering the Mines Inspection Act 1901 or the Coal Mines
Regulation Act 1982.
1.23 Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991 No 84
[1] Section 3A
Insert after section 3:

(ii) that has not been withdrawn or otherwise finally
disposed of.
[3] Section 19A
Insert after section 19:

petroleum title, may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal signed by the applicant and lodged with the Director-
General.
(2) An application ceases to have effect when a notice of withdrawal
is lodged under this section.
(3) The withdrawal of an application under this section is irrevocable.
[4] Section 20
Omit the section. Insert instead:
20 Continuation of title pending renewal
If an application for the renewal of a title has not been withdrawn
or otherwise finally disposed of before the date on which the title
would, but for this section, expire, the title continues in force until
the date on which the application is withdrawn or otherwise finally
disposed of.
[5] Section 22 Cancellation or operational suspension of titles
Insert after section 22 (2):
(2AA) A request for cancellation of a petroleum title may be withdrawn
by means of a written notice of withdrawal signed by the holder of
the title and lodged with the Director-General. The request ceases
to have effect when the notice of withdrawal is lodged.
Page 22
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Minor amendments Schedule 1
[6] Section 22 (4) and (4A)
Omit the subsections. Insert instead:
(4) Cancellation of, or suspension of operations under, a petroleum
title takes effect on the date on which written notice of the
cancellation or suspension concerned is served on the holder of the
title, or on such later date as is specified in the notice.
(4A) Notice of a cancellation of a petroleum title is to be published in
the Gazette as soon as practicable after the cancellation takes
effect.
[7] Section 32 Direction to holder of exploration licence to apply for lease
Insert at the end of the section:
Note. Section 22 (4) specifies the time at which cancellation of a petroleum title
(which includes an exploration licence) takes effect.
[8] Section 37 Direction to holder of assessment lease to apply for
production lease
Insert at the end of the section:
Note. Section 22 (4) specifies the time at which cancellation of a petroleum
title (which includes an assessment lease) takes effect.
[9] Section 96 Applications for transfer of title
Insert after section 96 (4):
(5) An application for approval of the transfer of a petroleum title may
be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal signed
by the applicant and lodged with the Director-General. The
application ceases to have effect when the notice of withdrawal is
lodged.
(6) The withdrawal of an application under this section is irrevocable.
Transitional
Sections 19A, 22 (2AA) and 96 (5) and (6) of the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991, as inserted
by this Act, extend to apply to and in respect of an application or request made, but not finally
disposed of, before the commencement of those sections.
Explanatory Note
Grants of petroleum titles
Section 9 (1) (c) of the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991 (the Act) currently prevents the Minister
from granting a petroleum title over "an area included in an application made by another person
for a petroleum title, where the application has not yet been determined".
Item [2] of the proposed amendments repeals and re-enacts that paragraph so as to make it
clear that the paragraph prevents the granting of an application for a petroleum title only if there
is still outstanding an earlier application relating to the same area of land.
Page 23
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
Withdrawals of applications and requests relating to petroleum titles
Items [3], [5] and [9] of the proposed amendments provide for the withdrawal of the following:
(a) applications for grants or renewals of petroleum titles,
(b) requests for cancellation of petroleum titles,
(c) applications for approval of transfers of petroleum titles.
Continuation in force of petroleum titles
Section 20 of the Act currently provides for the continuation in force of a petroleum title pending
the determination of an application for its renewal. The section provides that the title continues
in force "until the date on which the title is renewed or on which notification of refusal of renewal
is published in the Gazette or until the title is cancelled".
Item [4] of the proposed amendments repeals and re-enacts that section so as to provide
(consistently with certain other mining legislation) that the title remains in force until the
application for renewal is "finally disposed of".
Cancellation and suspension of petroleum titles
Section 22 of the Act specifies certain circumstances in which a petroleum title may be
cancelled or operations under a petroleum title may be suspended. Section 22 (4) currently
provides that a cancellation under section 22 takes effect "on the date of notification of the
cancellation in the Gazette". Section 22 (4A) provides that a suspension under section 22 takes
effect "on the date on which written notice of the suspension is served on the holder of the title
or on such later date as is specified in the notice".
Item [6] of the proposed amendments repeals and re-enacts section 22 (4) and (4A) so as to
provide that all cancellations of, and suspensions of operation under, petroleum titles (not
merely cancellations and suspensions under section 22) take effect on the date on which
written notice of the cancellation or suspension concerned is served on the holder of the title,
or on such later date as is specified in the notice. Notice of a cancellation is also required to be
published in the Gazette.
Items [7] and [8] add notes referring to section 22 (4) to sections 32 and 37. Those sections
provide for the cancellation, in other circumstances, of particular kinds of petroleum titles.
Statute law revision

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 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 or a statutory rule (such
as a regulation) is amended or repealed, no amendment made by the Act or statutory rule 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 or statutory rule,
(c) any validation made by the Act or statutory rule,
(d) the operation of any savings or transitional provision contained in the Act or statutory rule.

General savings, transitional and other provisions Schedule 6
Schedule 6 General savings, transitional and other
provisions
(Section 5)
1 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.
2 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 statutory rule, or
(b) repeals and re-enacts (with or without modification) a provision of
an Act or statutory rule,
Page 55
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
Schedule 6 General Savings, transitional and other provisions
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.
3 Effect of amendment on statutory rules
Except where expressly provided to the contrary, any statutory rule 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 statutory rule 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.
4 Revocation of repeal
Hunter Regional Environmental Plan 1989 (Heritage) is taken to have
been, and always to have been, repealed by Gloucester Local
Environmental Plan 2000 only to the extent to which it applied to land in
the Gloucester local government area.
Explanatory note
This clause revokes the repeal of Hunter Regional Environmental Plan 1989 (Heritage)
in so far as that Plan applies to land other than land in the Gloucester local government
area.
5 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
Page 56
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2001
General savings, transitional and other provisions Schedule 6
(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.

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.
