[15] Dictionary
Omit the definitions of Aboriginal adoption consultative organisation
and Torres Strait Islander adoption consultative organisation.
Explanatory note
Items [1]-[5] of the proposed amendments replace the term "adoption agency" with the
term "adoption service provider" throughout the Adoption Act 2000 (the Act). The term
"adoption agency" has traditionally been applied only to organisations that arrange
placements for children to be adopted. The new term makes it clear that the Act will
apply also to organisations that provide post-adoption services such as post-adoption
order information, support services and reunion services.
Items [6]-[15] of the proposed amendments remove references to approved
"Aboriginal adoption consultative organisations" and "Torres Strait Islander adoption
consultative organisations" throughout the Act (and make consequential
amendments). These references are replaced with references to persons approved by
the Director-General of the Department of Community Services under sections 195 and
196 of that Act to provide advice and assistance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
families or kinship groups in relation to care options for Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander children for the purposes of the Act.

Omit "classes of persons" from section 72A (2) (a).

Insert "or bodies" after "persons".
Page 5
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
[3] Section 72A (2) (d)
Omit "is". Insert instead "in".
Explanatory note
Section 72A of the Casino Control Act 1992, which was inserted by the Gaming
Machines Act 2001, provides that it is a condition of a casino licence that the casino
operator is to enter into arrangements for problem gambling counselling services to be
made available to patrons of the casino. Section 46 of the Gaming Machines Act 2001
requires hoteliers and registered clubs to enter into arrangements for such services to
be made available to patrons of hotels and registered clubs.
Section 72A (2) provides that the regulations may make provision for or with respect to
(among other things) the "classes of persons" who are to provide the counselling
services. Section 46 of the Gaming Machines Act 2001 was originally in the same
terms, but an amendment made by the Gaming Machines Amendment Act 2002
altered that section so as to allow the regulations to make provision for or with respect
to (among other things) the "persons or bodies" who are to provide the counselling
services. Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes the same amendment to
section 72A of the Casino Control Act 1992.
Item [2] makes a consequential amendment.
Item [3] corrects a typographical error.
1.3 Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998
No 157
[1] Section 14 Records relating to Aboriginals and Torres Strait
Islanders
Omit "report" from section 14 (3). Insert instead "record".
[2] Section 29 Protection of persons who make reports
Insert "or a class of children or young persons" after "a child or young
person" wherever occurring in section 29 (1) and (1A).
[3] Section 29 (1)
Insert "or the class of children or young persons" after "the child or young
person".
Page 6
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Minor amendments Schedule 1
[4] Section 29 (6)
Omit the subsection. Insert instead:
(6) In this section:
court includes a court exercising federal jurisdiction.
report includes a report under sections 24, 25, 27 and 122.
Explanatory note
Items [2] and [3] of the proposed amendments amend section 29 (1) and (1A) of the
Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 (the Act) to clarify that
the protections set out in that section granted to persons making reports under that Act
apply to reports relating to classes of children or young persons and not solely to
reports relating to an individual child or young person.
Item [4] of the proposed amendments amends section 29 (6) of the Act to make it clear
that section 29 applies to reports relating to homeless children under section 122 of that
Act in addition to reports relating to children at risk of harm under Part 2 of Chapter 3
of that Act.
Item [1] of the proposed amendments corrects an incorrect reference.
1.4 Community Services (Complaints, Reviews and Monitoring)
Act 1993 No 2
[1] Long title and sections 7 (4), 9 and 10 (1)
Omit "Community Visitors" wherever occurring.

Amendment Act 2002), 8 (2) and 48 (as renumbered by the
Community Services Legislation Amendment Act 2002)
Omit "the Community Visitor" wherever occurring.
Insert instead "the Official Community Visitor".
[6] Section 43A
Insert after section 43:
43A Exemption from Freedom of Information Act 1989
The Ombudsman is, in the exercise of functions under this
Part, exempt from the operation of the Freedom of
Information Act 1989.
[7] Section 47 (1) (as renumbered by the Community Services
Legislation Amendment Act 2002)
Omit "Community Visitor" from section 47 (a).
Insert instead "an Official Community Visitor".
[8] Schedule 1 Savings and transitional provisions (as amended by
the Community Services Legislation Amendment Act 2002)
Omit "a Community Visitor" where firstly occurring from clause 3 (1).
Insert instead "an Official Community Visitor".
[9] Schedule 1, clause 3 (3)
Insert after clause 3 (2):
(3) A reference in another Act or in an instrument made under an
Act or in any document to a Community Visitor appointed
under this Act is to be read as a reference to an Official
Community Visitor appointed under this Act.
Commencement
The amendments to the Community Services (Complaints, Reviews and Monitoring)
Act 1993 commence, or are taken to have commenced, on the commencement of the
Community Services Legislation Amendment Act 2002.
Page 8
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Minor amendments Schedule 1
Explanatory note
Official Community Visitors
The proposed amendments change the title of Community Visitors appointed under the
Community Services (Complaints, Reviews and Monitoring) Act 1993 to Official
Community Visitors, to avoid confusion with community visitors appointed under
unofficial programs, and make consequential amendments.
Item [9] is a transitional provision that converts references to Community Visitors in
other Acts, instruments and other documents.
Exemption from Freedom of Information Act 1989
The Community Services Legislation Amendment Act 2002 amends various Acts to
confer powers on the Ombudsman relating to certain deaths of children and other
persons in care. Among other things, it removes from the Child Death Review Team
and confers on the Ombudsman the power to review and report on the deaths of
children arising from abuse or neglect or that occur in suspicious circumstances while
leaving power to review other child deaths.
Currently, under the Freedom of Information Act 1989, all functions of the Child Death
Review Team are exempt from the operation of that Act. The proposed section 43A,
inserted on the request of the Ombudsman, is a consequential amendment extending
the previous exemption to the Ombudsman so as to reflect the changes to the
Ombudsman's functions and the current exemption relating to reviews of child deaths.
1.5 Crown Lands Act 1989 No 6
[1] Section 3 Definitions
Omit the definition of Department from section 3 (1). Insert instead:
Department means the Department of Land and Water
Conservation.

Director-General means the Director-General of the
Department.
[3] Section 3 (1), definition of "Secretary"
Omit the definition.

Omit "Commons Regulation Act 1898" from paragraph (a) of the
definition of reserve.
Insert instead "Commons Management Act 1989".
[6] Section 92 Reserve trusts
Omit section 92 (3). Insert instead:
(3) The Minister may, by notification in the Gazette:
(a) dissolve a reserve trust, or
(b) alter the corporate name of a reserve trust, or
(c) revoke the appointment of the reserve trust as trustee of
any one or more specified reserves or any one or more
parts of a reserve.

Omit "Secretary" from section 157 (2).
Insert instead "Director-General".
[8] Section 180 Delegation
Omit "Secretary" wherever occurring from section 180 (3).
Insert instead "Director-General".
[9] Section 180 (3)
Omit "Secretary's". Insert instead "Director-General's".
Explanatory note
Item [1] of the proposed amendments updates a reference to a Department.
The Department concerned does not have a Secretary. Instead, it has a Director-
General. Accordingly, item [2] of the proposed amendments inserts a definition of
Director-General, item [3] omits the definition of Secretary and items [7]-[9] make
consequential amendments.
Item [4] of the proposed amendments omits a requirement that the Minister, when
exercising certain functions in relation to land in an irrigation area, have regard to the
views of the Water Administration Ministerial Corporation (a statutory body
representing the Crown). That body has been replaced, in relation to irrigation
scheme areas (within the meaning of the repealed Irrigation Corporations Act 1994),
by various now-privatised irrigation corporations.
Item [5] of the proposed amendments updates a reference to an Act.
Page 10
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Minor amendments Schedule 1
Item [6] of the proposed amendments enables the Minister to revoke the appointment
of a reserve trust as trustee of any one or more specified reserves or any one or more
parts of a reserve. At present, this can only be done by the cumbersome method of
dissolving the reserve trust and re-establishing it in respect only of those reserves (or
parts of reserves) in relation to which it is desired that the reserve trust be a trustee.
1.6 Crown Lands (Continued Tenures) Act 1989 No 7
[1] Section 3 Definitions
Omit the definition of Department from section 3 (1). Insert instead:
Department means the Department of Land and Water

Omit "ancillary staff" wherever occurring.

Insert instead "school administrative and support staff in the Department
of Education and Training".
[3] Section 1 Name of Act
Omit "Education (Ancillary Staff) Act 1987".

Act 1987".
[4] Section 3 Definitions
Omit the definition of ancillary staff from section 3 (1).
Page 11
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
[5] Section 3 (1)
Insert in alphabetical order:
Department means the Department of Education and
Training.
school administrative and support staff means school
administrative and support staff of the Department.
[6] Section 3 (1), definition of "Director-General"
Omit "Education". Insert instead "the Department".
[7] Sections 4 (1), 5 (1), 8, 17 (1), 18 (1) and 21 (1)
Omit "of Education" wherever occurring.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendments change the name of the Education (Ancillary Staff)
Act 1987 to the Education (School Administrative and Support Staff) Act 1987 and
update references in that Act to the Department of Education (now the Department of
Education and Training). They also make the necessary consequential amendments.
1.8 Education (Ancillary Staff) Regulation 1998
[1] Clause 1 Name of Regulation
Omit "Education (Ancillary Staff) Regulation 1998".
Insert instead "Education (School Administrative and Support Staff)
Regulation 1998".
[2] Clause 3 Definitions
Omit "Education (Ancillary Staff) Act 1987" from the definition of
the Act.
Insert instead "Education (School Administrative and Support Staff)
Act 1987".
Explanatory note
The proposed amendments are consequential on the change of name of the Education
(Ancillary Staff) Act 1987 proposed to be made elsewhere in this Schedule.

Minor amendments Schedule 1
1.9 Fisheries Management Act 1994 No 38
[1] Section 7C Fishery management strategy for designated activities
Insert after section 7C (3):
(4) A draft fishery management strategy becomes the existing
fishery management strategy when it is approved by the
Minister. However, the first fishery management strategy to
be approved in respect of a designated fishing activity must be
approved in accordance with section 7F.
[2] Section 7F Revision of draft strategy and publication of approved
strategy following environmental assessment
Omit section 7F (1). Insert instead:
(1) Following a determination under Division 5 of Part 5 of the
EPA Act, the Minister is to revise the draft fishery
management strategy for the designated fishing activity
concerned and make any amendment that is necessary to
reflect the result of the determination.
[3] Section 7F (2)
Omit "resource". Insert instead "Resource".
[4] Section 50 Method of determining eligibility and entitlement to
shares
Omit "became a share management fishery" from section 50 (4).
Insert instead "ceased to be a restricted fishery".
[5] Section 50 (4)
Insert "or, if a person is entitled to take fish for sale in the restricted fishery
as the employee or nominee of some other person, that other person" after
"entitled to take fish for sale in the restricted fishery".
[6] Section 77A Rental charge for access to category 2 share
management fishery
Insert "or, if a person is authorised to take fish in the fishery as the
employee or nominee of some other person, that other person" after "a
person authorised to take fish in the fishery" in section 77A (8) (b).
Page 13
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
Explanatory note
Fishery management strategies
Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that a draft fishery management
strategy under Part 1A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 (the Act) becomes the
actual fishery management strategy when it is approved by the Minister.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the revision of a draft fishery
management strategy that is required after a determination is made under Division 5 of
Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 in respect of the
designated fishing activity to which the draft strategy relates will not necessarily give
rise to any amendments to the draft strategy. The proposed amendment also allows
other amendments to be made to the draft strategy before it is approved (even if those
amendments do not arise out of the determination) provided that the Minister has
consulted the Fisheries Resource Conservation and Assessment Council in relation to
them.
Allocation of shares in share management fishery
Section 50 (4) of the Act provides for the allocation of shares in a share management
fishery that is also a restricted fishery. It provides that if a restricted fishery becomes a
share management fishery, the persons entitled to shares in the fishery are the persons
who, immediately before the restricted fishery became a share management fishery,
were entitled to take fish for sale in the restricted fishery. The provision aims to
preserve the entitlements of fishers in the restricted fishery. Under section 55 of the Act,
a share management fishery that is a restricted fishery ceases to be a restricted fishery
when the limited access stage of the share management fishery commences.
Item [4] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that a restricted fishery "becomes"
a share management fishery when it ceases to be a restricted fishery, so as to ensure
that shares are allocated on the basis of the fishing entitlements held by fishers in the
restricted fishery immediately before the fishery ceases to be a restricted fishery (and
to recognise any transfers of restricted fishery entitlements that take place before the
start of the limited access stage of the share management fishery).
Under the current regulations relating to restricted fisheries, persons who are entitled
to take fish for sale in a restricted fishery may in some circumstances nominate other
persons to take fish in the fishery on their behalf. Item [5] of the proposed amendments
makes it clear that, in such circumstances, it is the person who is entitled to nominate
the fisher, and not a nominee or employee of the person so entitled, who is to be
allocated shares in the share management fishery. Similarly, item [6] makes it clear
that, if a person is entitled to nominate a fisher to take fish in a category 2 share
management fishery, it is the person who is entitled to nominate that other person, and
not the nominee or an employee of the person, who is liable to pay a rental charge
under that provision.
Statute law revision
Item [3] of the proposed amendments corrects a typographical error.

Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Minor amendments Schedule 1
1.10 Gas Supply Act 1996 No 38
[1] Sections 27 (1) (e), 33C (1) (b) and 4 (b) and 33J (paragraphs (a)
and (d) of the definition of "retail market business system") and
clause 19 (1) (e) of Schedule 2
Omit "distribution system" wherever occurring.
Insert instead "distribution pipeline".
[2] Section 33C (4) (b)
Omit "the system". Insert instead "the pipeline".
[3] Section 33K Market operations rules
Omit "distribution systems" wherever occurring from section 33K (1) (a)
and (c).
Insert instead "distribution pipelines".
[4] Dictionary
Omit "distribution system" from paragraph (a) of the definition of
ancillary market participant.
Insert instead "distribution pipeline".
[5] Dictionary, definition of "distribution pipeline"
Omit the definition. Insert instead:
distribution pipeline means the gas pipes and associated
equipment that are used to convey and control the conveyance
of natural gas to the premises of customers, but does not
include:
(a) any pipeline in respect of which a licence is in force
under the Pipelines Act 1967 (other than a pipeline that
the regulations declare to be, or to form part of, a
distribution pipeline), or
(b) any gas installation, or
(c) any gas pipe or associated equipment that is wholly
situated on land owned by the person who owns or
controls the gas pipe or equipment, or
Page 15
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
(d) any gas pipe or associated equipment that the
regulations declare not to be, or not to form part of, a
distribution pipeline.
Explanatory note
Section 5 of the Gas Supply Act 1996 (the Act) prohibits a person from operating a
distribution pipeline for the purpose of conveying natural gas to any other person,
and from supplying natural gas to any other person by means of such a pipeline,
otherwise than under the authority of an authorisation (within the meaning of the Act).
Section 34 of the Act imposes a similar prohibition in respect of the conveyance of
certain other gases by way of a distribution system otherwise than under the authority
of a distributor's licence (within the meaning of the Act).
At present, the Dictionary to the Act provides that the term distribution pipeline has
the same meaning as it has in the Gas Pipelines Access (New South Wales) Law.
However, certain small distribution networks do not fall within the ambit of that
definition. To ensure that those distribution networks are subject to the authorisation
requirement (and the other relevant provisions of the Act), item [5] of the proposed
amendments repeals and re-enacts the definition of distribution pipeline in terms that
parallel the definition of distribution system.
As the scheme of the Act is to use the term distribution pipeline in relation to the
conveyance and supply of natural gas, and the term distribution system in relation to
the conveyance of gases other than natural gas, the remaining proposed amendments
correct the incorrect use of the term distribution system in provisions relating to
natural gas (items [1]-[4]).
1.11 Gas Supply (Natural Gas Retail Competition)
Regulation 2001
Clause 7 Small retail customers who are entitled to apply to be
supplied under the standard form customer supply contract
Omit "distribution system" wherever occurring.
Insert instead "distribution pipeline".
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment is consequential on the amendment proposed to be made
to section 33C of the Gas Supply Act 1996 elsewhere in this Schedule.
1.12 Hay Irrigation Act 1902 No 57
Section 5 Definitions
Omit the definitions of Domestic use, Irrigated lot, Justice and Stock.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment omits definitions of terms that are no longer used in the Hay
Irrigation Act 1902.

Omit section 17 (12) and (13).
Explanatory note
Sections 13 and 42 of the Licensing and Registration (Uniform Procedures) Act 2002
(the Act) currently provide for a reduction in processing fees for applications for
licences and registration that are made by means of electronic communication. Items
[1] and [2] of the proposed amendments amend sections 25 and 54 of that Act so as to
provide similar reductions for periodic administration fees that are paid by electronic
communication.
Schedule 4.11 [2] to the Act omits sections 10 and 10A of the Pawnbrokers and
Second-hand Dealers Act 1996. Item [3] of the proposed amendments amends
Schedule 4.11 [2] so as to replace the repealed sections with a new section that retains
a provision that specifies the period for which a licence under the 1996 Act has effect.
Schedule 4.30 and 4.32 of the Act amend the Motor Dealers Act 1974 and the Travel
Agents Act 1986. Items [4] and [5] of the proposed amendments make further
amendments to those Acts so as to omit provisions that create offences of giving false
information.The giving of false information is to be dealt with under the Crimes Act 1900
as a consequence of the amendments to that Act that are made by Schedule 4.27 to
the Licensing and Registration (Uniform Procedures) Act 2002.

Preparation of general purpose financial report
Until such time as a publication issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board supersedes a particular
publication that was issued by the Australian Accounting
Research Foundation (on behalf of the Australian Society of
Certified Practising Accountants and the Institute of
Chartered Accountants in Australia) under the title Australian
Accounting Standards, section 413 (3) (a) is to be construed
as if it referred to the latter publication rather than to the
publication issued by the Australian Accounting Standards
Board.
Explanatory note
Financial reports
Item [3] of the proposed amendments amends section 413 (Preparation of financial
reports) of the Act to reflect the fact that the Australian Accounting Standards Board,
which was formerly part of the Australian Accounting Research Foundation (the
Foundation), is now a separate body. That body is in the process of issuing accounting
standards to replace those issued by the Foundation. Accordingly, the proposed
amendment requires the general purpose financial report to be prepared in accordance
with (among other things) the new standards. Item [4] inserts a transitional provision.
Statute law revision
Item [1] of the proposed amendments clarifies wording.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments repeals matter dealing with an Act that is to be

Explanatory note
Amendments to the Ports Corporatisation and Waterways Management Act 1995 (the
1995 Act) proposed to be made elsewhere in this Schedule include certain
amendments to and in relation to Part 6 (Pilotage) of that Act. Part 6 is to be repealed
and replaced by Part 6 of the Marine Safety Act 1998 (the 1998 Act). Items [1], [2] and
[4] of the proposed amendments to the 1998 Act ensure that the effect of the
amendments relating to pilotage made to the 1995 Act are preserved. Item [4] also
omits an unnecessary reference.
Item [3] of the proposed amendments repeals two uncommenced amendments. The
amendment proposed to be made by Schedule 3.7 [4] is not necessary, and the

Membership of Audit and Compliance Committee
Item [3] of the proposed amendments omits a provision requiring the Audit and
Compliance Committee established under section 9 of the National Parks and Wildlife
Act 1974 (the Act) to include an officer of the New South Wales Audit Office. The
provision was inserted by a non-Government amendment at the committee stage of the
Bill for the National Parks and Wildlife Amendment Act 2001 (which inserted the new
section 9 in the Act). However, after representations from the Auditor-General, both the
mover of the amendment and the Minister administering the Act now agree that the
provision is inappropriate.

Explanatory note
The proposed amendment enables regulations under the Occupational Health and
Safety Act 2000 to prescribe different amounts of penalties for the same penalty notice
offence under that Act (for example, according to whether the offender is a corporation
or a natural person, or according to the circumstances in which the offence is
committed).
1.18 Ombudsman Act 1974 No 68
[1] Part 6
Insert after Part 5:

means information relating to the complainant's ethnic or
racial origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical
beliefs, trade union membership, health or sexual activities.

(a) a reference to a complaint having been made to a
relevant agency includes a reference to a complaint
having been referred to the agency under section 42,
and
(b) a reference to a complaint being within a relevant
agency's jurisdiction is a reference to a complaint that
a person is authorised by law to make to the agency or

(1) Two or more relevant agencies may enter into an arrangement
for the referral of complaints between them (a complaint
referral arrangement).
(2) Under a complaint referral arrangement:
(a) any agency that is party to the arrangement may be
authorised to refer to any other such agency any
complaint received by it that appears to be within, or
partly within, the other agency's jurisdiction, and
(b) a complaint that is within, or partly within, more than
one agency's jurisdiction may be referred to one of
them, some of them or all of them.
(3) A complaint may be referred under a complaint referral
arrangement regardless of any action that has been taken in
relation to the complaint by the agency that received it.
(4) Despite subsection (2), a complaint may not be referred from
one agency to another except with the express consent of the
complainant.
(5) Subject to the terms of the complaint referral arrangement, the
referral of a complaint discharges the agency that received the
complaint from any further obligations with respect to the
complaint to the extent to which the complaint is not within
its jurisdiction, but does not prevent that agency from
continuing to deal with the complaint to the extent to which
the complaint is within its jurisdiction.
(6) A complaint that is referred to an agency under this section is
taken to have been duly made to that agency under the
relevant complaints legislation.
(7) An agency has the same immunities with respect to a
complaint that it refers to another agency under this section as
it has with respect to any complaint that it deals with under the
relevant complaints legislation.

agency that is prepared by the agency for the purposes of:
(a) the relevant complaints legislation, or
(b) the Annual Reports (Departments) Act 1985, or

under which an agency is authorised or required to refer
complaints to another agency.
43 Sharing of information by relevant agencies
(1) Two or more relevant agencies may enter into an arrangement
for the sharing of information held by them (an information
sharing arrangement).
(2) Under an information sharing arrangement, any agency that is
party to the arrangement may be authorised to do either or
both of the following (but only to the extent that the activity
concerned is reasonably necessary to assist the agency to
carry out its functions):
(a) to receive information obtained by any other such
agency with respect to a complaint dealt with by that
other agency,
(b) to be present during any investigation or hearing
conducted by any other such agency with respect to a
complaint.
(3) An agency that, under an information sharing arrangement, is
authorised to receive information obtained by some other
agency may do so, and the agency by which the information
was obtained may provide the information to the agency so
authorised, despite any other Act or law.
(4) An agency that, under an information sharing arrangement, is
authorised to be present during an investigation or hearing
conducted by some other agency may do so, despite any other
Act or law.
(5) For the purpose of enabling an agency so authorised to be
present during such an investigation, the agency may exercise
any power of entry exercisable by the other agency, and has
all the immunities of the other agency with respect to the
exercise of any such power, despite any other Act or law.
(6) Despite any other provision of this section, an agency must
not, except with the complainant's express consent:

Schedule 1 Minor amendments
(a) disclose to any other agency any information obtained
by it with respect to a complaint, or
(b) permit any other agency to be present during any
investigation or hearing conducted by it with respect to
a complaint,
if the agency has (or should have) reason to suspect that the
information is or includes sensitive personal information
about the complainant.
(7) This section does not limit the operation of any other Act
under which an agency is authorised or required to disclose
information to another agency.
44 Delegation
Despite any other Act or law, a relevant agency may delegate
any of its functions under this Part to an officer of the agency.
45 Inter-agency agreements to be publicly available
A relevant agency that enters into a complaint referral
arrangement under section 42 or an information sharing
arrangement under section 43 must ensure that copies of the
arrangement are made available for public inspection at each
of its offices.

Act 1990 to prescribe different amounts of penalties for different offences or classes of
offences and to prescribe different amounts of penalties for the same penalty notice
offence under that Act (for example, according to whether the offender is a corporation
or a natural person, or according to the circumstances in which the offence is
committed).

Explanatory note
Repeals
Items [2] and [3] of the proposed amendments repeal provisions of the Ports
Corporatisation and Waterways Management Act 1995 (the Act) that amended the
State Owned Corporations Act 1989. The amendments have been incorporated in the
latter Act, which is up-to-date on the Legislation Database maintained by the
Parliamentary Counsel's Office and available electronically.
Port charges
At present, section 50 (2) of the Act provides that a navigation service charge is
payable on each entry (by a vessel liable for the charge) into any designated port
(within the meaning of Part 5 of the Act) and that, unless the regulations otherwise
provide, the charge is to be calculated by reference to the gross tonnage of the vessel.
Item [4] of the proposed amendments repeals and re-enacts section 50 (2) so as to
permit the regulations to vary the requirement for payment on every entry to a
designated port (as well as the method of calculation of the charge).
Item [7] of the proposed amendments amends section 61 of the Act so as to permit the
regulations to vary the manner of calculation of wharfage charges payable under that
section.
These proposed amendments mirror other provisions of the Act (for example, sections
56 (3), 60 (2) and 70 (3)).
Item [6] of the proposed amendments inserts a new subsection in section 60 (Site
occupation charge) so as to make it clear that a site occupation charge payable under
Part 5 of the Act is not payable by a lessee who leases the site from the relevant port
authority (within the meaning of that Part). Item [5] amends the definition of site to
reflect the fact that the map defining the area of a site is now kept at the office of the
relevant port authority and not at that of the Minister.
Miscellaneous
At present, section 70 (1) of the Act provides that charges under Part 5 that are unpaid
by the due date "attract interest" at a rate determined by the relevant port authority. Item
[8] of the proposed amendments repeals and re-enacts section 70 (1) so as to provide
for such interest to be charged at the discretion of the relevant port authority (rather
than compulsorily).
Item [9] of the proposed amendments inserts a referential provision in Part 6 (Pilotage)
of the Act to reflect the fact that pilotage services may be provided by a Port
Corporation by means of a subsidiary. Item [1] inserts a definition of subsidiary in
section 3 (Definitions) for the purposes of the Act.
At present, section 108 of the Act specifies certain ways in which documents might be
served on the Waterways Authority. Items [10] and [11] of the proposed amendments
extend the ambit of that section to include service of documents on Port Corporations.

Schedule 2.7 [2] to the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 repeals and re-
enacts section 17 of the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 (and inserts
section 17A) as a consequence of the enactment of the Licensing and Registration
(Uniform Procedures) Act 2002. Item [2] of the proposed amendments omits an

unnecessary subsection of the new section 17 and re-numbers the following
subsection in consequence of that omission.
Schedule 2.7 [3] to the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 omits sections
18, 19 and 24 of the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 as a consequence
of the enactment of the Licensing and Registration (Uniform Procedures) Act 2002.
Item [3] of the proposed amendments amends Schedule 2.7 [3] so as to replace the
repealed sections with a new section 19 that restores a provision that currently
specifies grounds on which an application for a licence or certificate of registration is to
be refused.
Schedule 2.7 [5] to the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 omits sections
26 and 27 of the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 as a consequence of
the enactment of the Licensing and Registration (Uniform Procedures) Act 2002. Item
[4] of the proposed amendments amends Schedule 2.7 [5] so as to restore section 27
(dealing with appeals to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal) and so as to keep a
provision that currently resurrects an expired licence, for limited purposes, when an
application to restore the licence is made.

Omit the subsection. Insert instead:
(2) To be protected by this Act, a disclosure by a public official
to:
(a) another officer of the public authority to which the
public official belongs, or
(b) an officer of the public authority to which the disclosure
relates,
in accordance with any procedure established by the authority
concerned for the reporting of allegations of corrupt conduct,
maladministration or serious and substantial waste of public
money by that authority or any of its officers must be a
disclosure of information that shows or tends to show such
corrupt conduct, maladministration or serious and substantial
waste (whether by that authority or any of its officers or by
another public authority or any of its officers).
[4] Section 26 Referral of disclosures by public officials
Insert after section 26 (1):
(1A) If the public official to whom the disclosure referred to in
subsection (1) was made does not belong to the public
authority or investigating authority to which the disclosure
relates, the public official must refer the disclosure to the
principal officer of, or officer who constitutes, the authority
concerned, or to an investigating authority, for investigation
or other action.
Explanatory note
The Protected Disclosures Act 1994 (the Act) currently provides protection to a public
official (as defined in the Act) who makes a disclosure of information that shows or
tends to show corrupt conduct, maladministration or serious and substantial waste of
public money by a public authority or investigating authority (both of which are
defined in the Act) or any of its officers if the disclosure is made to certain persons
specified in the Act. Those persons include the principal officer of (or officer who
constitutes) the authority the subject of the disclosure. However, protection is afforded
to a public official who discloses such information to the principal officer (or another
officer, in accordance with internal procedure) of the authority to which the public official
belongs only if the disclosure is in respect of that authority. Protection is not afforded if
the disclosure relates to another authority.
Item [1] of the proposed amendments provides for a public official to make a disclosure
to an officer of the authority to which the disclosure relates in accordance with any
procedure established by the authority concerned for that purpose.
Page 32
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Minor amendments Schedule 1
Item [2] of the proposed amendments protects a disclosure made by a public official to
the principal officer of, or officer who constitutes, the public or investigating authority to
which the disclosing officer belongs even if it is a disclosure relating to another public
or investigating authority.
Item [3] of the proposed amendments provides the same protection in respect of such
a disclosure when it is made to another officer of the authority to which the disclosure
relates in accordance with any procedure established by the authority concerned for
that purpose.
Item [4] of the proposed amendments inserts a new subsection in section 26 of the Act
so as to require a public official to whom a disclosure under Part 2 (Protected
disclosures) of the Act is made in respect of another public authority to refer the
disclosure to the principal officer of (or officer who constitutes) the public authority to
which the disclosure relates.
1.23 Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 No 156
[1] Section 187 Appointment of authorised officers
Renumber section 187 (3) (as inserted by the Statute Law (Miscellaneous
Provisions) Act 2002) as section 187 (2A).
[2] Section 244 Orders generally
Insert after section 244 (2):
(3) Other action not required
Orders may be made under this Part regardless of whether any
penalty is imposed, or other action taken, in relation to the
offence.
Explanatory note
Item [1] of the proposed amendments corrects duplicate numbering.
Section 244 in Part 8.3 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997
(the Act) provides for the making of orders of various kinds under that Part in relation
to offences against the Act (or the regulations made under the Act) that a court finds
proved. (The orders that may be made under Part 8.3 include orders to make good any
environmental damage caused by the offence, orders requiring the offender to pay
certain costs and expenses, and orders requiring the offender to carry out a specified
project for the restoration or enhancement of the environment in a public place or for
the public benefit.) Section 244 (2) provides that orders may be made under Part 8.3 in
addition to any penalty that may be imposed or any other action that may be taken in
relation to the offence concerned.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments inserts an additional subsection in section 244
to make it clear that the imposition of a penalty, or the taking of any other action, in
relation to the offence is not a prerequisite to the making of such an order.

(1A) Subject to this Act, the person appointed to the office of
Public Trustee holds office for such period (not exceeding 5
years) as is specified in his or her instrument of appointment,
but is eligible (if otherwise qualified) for re-appointment.
Explanatory note
At present, the person appointed to the office of Public Trustee under section 5 of the
Public Trustee Act 1913 is appointed for an indefinite term. The appointee ceases to
hold that office only in the circumstances specified in the section (for example, if he or
she resigns or dies, or is removed by the Governor for misbehaviour or incompetence
after a resolution of each House of Parliament declaring that he or she ought to be
removed).
The proposed amendment inserts a new subsection in section 5 to provide that the
appointee is to be appointed for a specified term (which is not to exceed 5 years).
However, there is no limit on the number of times that an appointee may be re-
appointed (if otherwise qualified) to the office.
As the office is currently vacant, there is no need for a transitional provision.

Minor amendments Schedule 1
[9] Schedule 3 Savings and transitional provisions
Insert after clause 18:
Part 7 Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
Act (No 2) 2002
19 Lapsing of caveats
Sections 74I, 74J and 74JA, as in force immediately before
the commencement of Schedule 1.25 to the Statute Law
(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 2002, continue to
apply to and in respect of applications made under those
sections before that commencement as if that Act had not
been enacted.
Explanatory note
Section 74F (5) of the Real Property Act 1900 (the Act) sets out the requirements for
a caveat lodged under section 74F. Section 74F (5) (b) (viii) provides that the caveat
must specify an address in New South Wales at which notices may be served on the
caveator. Frequently, solicitors who are members of a document exchange (DX)
specify their DX number as the address. However, persons who are not members of
the DX cannot use the DX to serve a notice. Item [1] of the proposed amendments
ensures that, if a DX number is specified as the address, an alternative, non-DX,
address must also be specified.
Items [2]-[8] of the proposed amendments give statutory force to the Registrar-
General's current administrative arrangements relating to the lapsing of caveats. At
present, sections 74I, 74J and 74JA of the Act provide that the caveats to which those
sections relate lapse at the expiry of the period of 21 days after the date of service on
the caveator of a notice warning the caveator that the caveat will lapse unless, within
that period, the caveator obtains and lodges with the Registrar-General an order from
the Supreme Court extending the operation of the caveat.
The proposed amendments amend those sections so as to require the person seeking
the lapsing of the caveat to lodge with the Registrar-General evidence of service of the
warning notice on the caveator within 4 weeks after the issue of the notice. They also
provide for an extension of time for that service, and enable the Registrar-General to
refuse to take any further action in relation to the lapsing of the caveat if the applicant
fails to provide the evidence of service of the notice within the time allowed.
Item [9] of the proposed amendments inserts a transitional provision in the Act to
ensure that applications made under sections 74I, 74J and 74JA before the
amendment of those sections by this Act are dealt with in accordance with those
sections as in force at the time the applications were made.

Section 10AA
Insert after section 10:
10AA Tribunal assistance to other entities
(1) The Tribunal may enter into arrangements with any Minister
or government agency or other body or person in the public
sector for the provision of assistance by the Tribunal to the
Minister, agency or other body or person by means of the
provision of services that are within the Tribunal's field of
expertise and relevant to its functions.
(2) However, the Tribunal is not to enter into an arrangement
under this section:
(a) for the provision of services relating to the
remuneration or allowances payable to the holder of an
office specified in Schedule 1, 2, 3 or 4, or
(b) unless the Minister has approved of the arrangement
(either generally or in a particular case).
(3) In entering into an arrangement under this section, the
Tribunal has a duty to ensure that giving effect to the
arrangement will not interfere with the ability of the Tribunal
to exercise its functions.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment inserts a new section in the Statutory and Other Offices
Remuneration Act 1975 (the Act) so as to permit the Statutory and Other Offices
Remuneration Tribunal (the Tribunal) to provide assistance to Ministers, government
agencies and other bodies and persons (in the public sector only) in the form of
services that are within the Tribunal's field of expertise and relevant to its functions.
However, that assistance will not extend to matters relating to remuneration or
allowances determined by the Tribunal under the Act.
The proposed new section is similar to a provision of the Independent Pricing and
Regulatory Tribunal Act 1992.

comprising the proposed parcel does not accompany
the plan (or is not produced in the office of the

General considers reasonable), unless evidence is
furnished to the Registrar-General's satisfaction that:
(i) the certificate of title or Crown grant is in his or
her custody, and that he or she has authority to
use the instrument in connection with the
registration of the plan, or
(ii) the certificate of title or Crown grant has been
lost, mislaid or destroyed and application has
been duly made (and is being duly prosecuted)
under section 111 of the Real Property Act 1900,

Insert instead "section 37A (5) (c)".

Omit "unanimous resolution" from section 27 (2).
Insert instead "special resolution".
Explanatory note
Section 15 (2) of the Strata Schemes (Freehold Development) Act 1973 (the Act)
permits the Registrar-General to refuse to register a strata plan of subdivision or
consolidation, a notice of conversion or a building alteration plan if it is not
accompanied by the certificate of title for the common property (except in certain
circumstances--for example, if the certificate is lost and application for a replacement
has been duly made and is being prosecuted). Item [1] of the proposed amendments
inserts a similar power in relation to the registration of an initial strata plan and the
certificate of title (or Crown grant) for the land to which the proposed strata plan relates.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments corrects a cross-reference.
Page 41
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Schedule 1 Minor amendments
The Conveyancing Legislation Amendment (e-plan) Act 2002 repealed and re-enacted
(among other things) section 27 (2) of the Act. That subsection requires the common
property in a strata scheme that is to be dedicated as public road, public reserve or
drainage reserve to be identified on a plan and relate to a statement of intention to so
dedicate that is acknowledged by endorsement of the seal of the owners corporation
"pursuant to a unanimous resolution". However, an earlier amendment (made by the
Strata Schemes Legislation Amendment Act 2001) had altered section 27 (2), as then
in force, so as to require only a special resolution (that is, a resolution passed at a duly
convened general meeting of the owners corporation and against which not more than
one-quarter in value (ascertained as provided by the Act) of votes is cast), rather than
a unanimous resolution. Item [3] of the proposed amendments gives effect to the earlier
amendment.

comprising the proposed parcel does not accompany
the plan (or is not produced in the office of the
Registrar-General within such time as the Registrar-
General considers reasonable), unless evidence is
furnished to the Registrar-General's satisfaction that:
(i) the certificate of title or Crown grant is in his or
her custody, and that he or she has authority to
use the instrument in connection with the
registration of the plan, or
(ii) the certificate of title or Crown grant has been
lost, mislaid or destroyed and application has
been duly made (and is being duly prosecuted)

or
[2] Section 14 Unit entitlements of lots in subdivisions involving

Omit "section 66A (5) (b)" from section 14 (b).

Omit "unanimous resolution" from section 31 (2).
Insert instead "special resolution".

Omit "prescribed authority" from section 35 (2).
Insert instead "proprietor".
Explanatory note
Section 18 (2) of the Strata Schemes (Leasehold Development) Act 1986 (the Act)
permits the Registrar-General to refuse to register a strata plan of subdivision or
consolidation, a notice of conversion or a building alteration plan if it is not
accompanied by the certificate of title for the common property (except in certain
circumstances--for example, if the certificate is lost and application for a replacement
has been duly made and is being prosecuted). Item [1] of the proposed amendments
inserts a similar power in relation to the registration of an initial strata plan and the
certificate of title (or Crown grant) for the land to which the proposed strata plan relates.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments corrects a cross-reference.
The Conveyancing Legislation Amendment (e-plan) Act 2002 repealed and re-enacted
(among other things) section 31 (2) of the Act. That subsection requires the common
property in a strata scheme that is to be dedicated as public road, public reserve or
drainage reserve to be identified on a plan and relate to a statement of intention to so
dedicate that is acknowledged by endorsement of the seal of the owners corporation
"pursuant to a unanimous resolution". However, an earlier amendment (made by the
Strata Schemes Legislation Amendment Act 2001) had altered section 31 (2), as then
in force, so as to require only a special resolution (that is, a resolution passed at a duly
convened general meeting of the owners corporation and against which not more than
one-quarter in value (ascertained as provided by the Act) of votes is cast), rather than
a unanimous resolution. Item [3] of the proposed amendments gives effect to the earlier
amendment.
Originally, the leasehold strata scheme established by the Act could be utilised only by
a prescribed authority (the Crown or a public authority, including a local council).
When the Act was later amended to allow privately owned land to be the subject of such
a scheme, the expression "prescribed authority" was replaced by the expression
"proprietor". However, one such expression was missed. Item [4] of the proposed
amendments makes the necessary correction.
1.29 Strata Schemes Management Act 1996 No 138
Section 112 Agreement for payment to owner of consideration on
transfer or lease of common property
Omit "unanimous resolution". Insert instead "special resolution".
Explanatory note
On 1 June 2001, the Strata Schemes (Freehold Development) Act 1973 and the Strata
Schemes (Leasehold Development) Act 1986 were amended to allow common
property to be dealt with by special resolution rather than unanimous resolution.
The proposed amendment makes a consequential amendment to a provision that is
concerned solely with common property.

is not a prohibited gaming device if:
(a) it is kept in a State-owned museum or similar public
institution, and
(b) it is not used for the purposes of gambling, and
(c) it is used only for educational or cultural purposes.
Explanatory note
Section 15 of the Unlawful Gambling Act 1998 (the Act) creates the offence of
possessing, or permitting the use or operation of a prohibited gaming device, which
is defined in section 6 of the Act.
The proposed amendment amends section 6 so as to allow State-owned museums and
similar public institutions to hold, display, and demonstrate the operation of, such
gaming devices.

contains only amendments or amendments and repeals
2 indicates repeal of an Act that was assented to in 2001 or earlier and that
contains only amendments and spent provisions (or other provisions that
do not need to be preserved)

6 indicates repeal of an Act (or part of an Act) containing, among other
things, uncommenced provisions that cannot be commenced or are not

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 or provisions 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 is amended or
repealed, no amendment made by the Act 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,
(c) any amendment or validation made by the Act,
(d) the operation of any savings or transitional provision contained in the Act.
Page 57
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Schedule 4 General savings, transitional and other provisions
Schedule 4 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 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 an instrument, or
(b) repeals and re-enacts (with or without modification) a
provision of an Act or an instrument,
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.
Page 58
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
General savings, transitional and other provisions Schedule 4
Explanatory note
This clause ensures that the amendment or repeal of a provision will not, unless
expressly provided, vitiate any act done or decision made under the provision as in
force before the amendment or repeal.
3 Application of Interpretation Act 1987 to amendments to statutory
rules
Sections 39, 40 and 41 of the Interpretation Act 1987 do not apply
to any amendments to statutory rules made by this Act.
Explanatory note
This clause makes it clear that certain provisions concerning the making, tabling and
disallowance of statutory rules do not apply to amendments to statutory rules made by
the proposed Act.
4 Effect of amendment on regulations
Except where expressly provided to the contrary, any regulation
made under an Act amended by this Act, that is 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 regulation 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.
5 Effect of amendment on environmental planning instruments
The amendment of an environmental planning instrument by this
Act does not prevent its later amendment or repeal by another
environmental planning instrument.
Explanatory note
This clause ensures that the amendment of a local environmental plan or other
environmental planning instrument does not prevent its amendment or repeal by an
environmental planning instrument.
6 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:
Page 59
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No 2) 2002
Schedule 4 General savings, transitional and other provisions
(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
(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.
Explanatory note
This clause enables the making of regulations of a savings or transitional nature having
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.
