EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
No. 18 of
1987
The Dangerous Goods Ordinance 1984 modifies and applies the provisions
of the Dangerous Goods Act 1975 (NSW) and the Dangerous Goods
Regulation (NSW) to the ACT.
The Dangerous Goods Regulation,
1978 (the Regulation) incorporates the NSW Regulation and Clause 176 of the
Regulation adopts section 8 of the Australian Code for the Transport of
Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail as published in the Commonwealth of Australia
Gazette No. P2 of 24 February, 1982 (subject to the exemption of two sections)
to the conveyance of dangerous goods in the Territory.
A new version of
that Australian Code was published in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No.
P15 of 7 April 1987 and the Dangerous Goods Regulation (Amendment) amends the
Regulation by adopting section 8 of the new version of the Code in its
entirety.
The details of the Dangerous Goods Regulation (Amendment) are
as follows:
• Regulation 1 defines “Applied Regulation” as
the provisions of the Dangerous Goods Regulation applicable in the
Territory;
• Regulation 2 amends subclause 4(1) of the Regulation by
substituting a new definition of “Australian Code” as being the
Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail as
published in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. P15 of 7 April 1987;
and
• Regulation 3 amends clause 176 of the Regulation by omitting the
reference to two sections of the Australian Code that had been exempted. The
effect of this amendment is that section 8 of the latest version of the
Australian Code applies in the ACT in its
entirety.
