Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020

The regulations may contain provisions of a savings or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of this Act or any Act that amends this Act.

Any such provision—

may, if the regulations so provide, take effect from the date of assent to the Act concerned or a later date, and

has effect despite anything to the contrary in this Schedule.

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.

Without limiting subclauses (1) and (2), regulations made for the purposes of this clause may amend this Schedule to provide for additional or different savings and transitional provisions instead of including the provisions in the regulations.
