12—Interpretation

In this Part—

repealed Act means the Public and Environmental Health Act 1987 .

13—Appeals

        (1)         An appeal under section 25 of the repealed Act will, after the commencement of this clause—

            (a)         lie to the South Australian Public Health Council constituted under this Act rather than the Public and Environmental Health Council constituted under the repealed Act; and

            (b)         be heard and determined by the Public Health Review Panel constituted under this Act (with 3 members constituting the Review Panel and 2 members constituting a quorum) rather than a review committee constituted by the Council under the repealed Act.

        (2)         A reference in Part 3 Division 5 of the repealed Act to the Council will be taken to include a reference to SAPHC acting under subclause (1)(a) and a reference in that Division to a review committee will be taken to include a reference to the Review Panel acting under subclause (1)(b).

        (3)         Subclauses (1) and (2) apply despite the fact—

            (a)         that section 25 of the repealed Act may still be in operation on the commencement of this clause; and

            (b)         that the appeal relates to a requirement imposed under Part 3 of the repealed Act before the commencement of this clause.

14—Detention

To avoid doubt, nothing in this Act affects the operation of a warrant issued under section 32 of the repealed Act before the commencement of this clause (and that section will continue to apply to and in relation to a person who is subject to an application for a warrant or detention under that section until the matter or detention is brought to an end under that section).

15—Directions

To avoid doubt, nothing in this Act affects the operation of a direction under section 33 of the repealed Act in force immediately before the commencement of this clause (and that section will continue to apply to and in relation to a person who is subject to a direction under that section until the direction no longer has effect under that section).

16—Other transitional provisions

        (1)         The Governor may, by regulation, make other provisions of a saving or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of this Act.

        (2)         A provision of a regulation made under subclause (1) may, if the regulation so provides, take effect from the commencement of the relevant Act or from a later day.

        (3)         To the extent to which a provision takes effect under subclause (2) from a day earlier than the day of the regulation's publication in the Gazette, the provision does not operate to the disadvantage of a person by—

            (a)         decreasing the person's rights; or

            (b)         imposing liabilities on the person.
