MARINE SAFETY LEGISLATION (LAKES HUME AND MULWALA) ACT 2001 - SECT 1

Purpose

The purpose of this Act is to rationalise the application of the marine safety legislation of Victoria and New South Wales in Lake Hume and Lake Mulwala on the Murray River border, which has been submerged by the creation of those lakes. Under the combined operation of this Act and the corresponding New South Wales Act, the marine safety legislation is to have effect as if the border—

        (a)     included within Victoria all the waters of Lake Hume downstream of the Bethanga Bridge; and

        (b)     included within New South Wales all the waters of Lake Hume upstream of that bridge, and all the waters of Lake Mulwala (including the waters of the Ovens River north of the Murray Valley Highway Bridge).
