Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016

The regulations may contain provisions of a savings or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of this Act, the Local Land Services Amendment Act 2016 or any Act that amends this Act (or Part 5A of, or Schedule 5A to, the Local Land Services Act 2013).

Any such provision has effect despite anything to the contrary in this Schedule. The regulations may make separate savings and transitional provisions or amend this Schedule to consolidate the savings and transitional provisions.

Any such provision may, if the regulations so provide, take effect from the date of assent to the Act concerned or a later date.

To the extent to which any such provision takes effect from a date that is earlier than the date of its publication on the NSW legislation website, the provision does not operate so as—

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

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.
