Transport Infrastructure Act 1994

This part recognises that particular waterways require a system of regulation to balance demands on the use, by water traffic, of the waterways and associated infrastructure.

The object of this part is to promote the overall effective and efficient use of waterways for transport by ensuring there are suitably qualified persons to implement, monitor and enforce compliance with a waterway management regulation.

To achieve this object, this part includes provision for the appointment of authorised persons for a waterway management regulation, and gives authorised persons particular powers.
