Industrial Chemicals Environmental Management (Register) Act 2021

The Minister may, by legislative instrument, establish a register of scheduling decisions for relevant industrial chemicals that are made or varied under Division 2 of this Part.

For variation and revocation of the instrument, see subsection 33(3) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

Section 42 (disallowance), and Part 4 of Chapter 3 (sunsetting), of the Legislation Act 2003 do not apply to the instrument: see subsections 44(1) and 54(1) of that Act.

Without limiting subsection (1), the Register may also include the following:

explanatory information relating to the Register;

explanatory information relating to a scheduling decision for a relevant industrial chemical;

any other information specified in the rules.

Despite subsection 14(2) of the Legislation Act 2003, the Register may make provision in relation to a matter by applying, adopting or incorporating, with or without modification, a matter contained in an instrument or writing:

as in force or existing at a particular time; or

as in force or existing from time to time.

The Register does not create prohibitions, restrictions or obligations that are enforceable in judicial or other proceedings.

Another law of the Commonwealth, or a law of a State, may apply or adopt the Register (with or without modification) and may make provision for, or in relation to, the implementation and enforcement of the Register, as so applied or adopted.
