For the purposes of section 88 of the Act, it is a prescribed operation and performance requirement for a network operator to ensure that, in each of its network operation zones, it meets the community operating standard specified in subregulation (2).
A network operator meets the community operating standard in a network operation zone if each refund collection point in that zone (other than a mobile collection point) that is open to the general public and located in an area specified in column 1 of the Table to this subregulation is, during each corresponding period specified in column 3, open for not less than the corresponding hours specified in column 2.
Table
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
Major urban area | 27 ordinary hours and 8 weekend hours | One week |
Regional area | 16 ordinary hours and 8 weekend hours | One week |
Remote area | 8 ordinary hours and 8 weekend hours | Two weeks |
For the purposes of subregulation (2)—
if a public holiday falls on a weekend day during a period specified in column 3, the corresponding number of weekend hours specified in column 2 for that period is to be reduced by the same proportion as the proportion of the weekend days of that period that are a public holiday; and
if a public holiday falls on a weekday during a period specified in column 3, the corresponding number of ordinary hours specified in column 2 for that period is to be reduced by the same proportion of the weekdays of that period that are a public holiday.
If the number of hours calculated in accordance with subregulation (3) is not a whole number, that number must be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
