Subordinate Legislation Act 1994

If a regulatory impact statement has been prepared, the responsible Minister must ensure that a notice in accordance with subsection (2) is published in—

the Government Gazette; and

a daily newspaper circulating generally throughout Victoria; and

if the responsible Minister considers it appropriate, in such trade, professional or public interest publications as the responsible Minister determines.

A notice must—

state the reason for, and the objectives of, the proposed statutory rule;

summarise the results of the regulatory impact statement;

specify where a copy of the regulatory impact statement and of the proposed statutory rule can be obtained;

invite public comments or submissions within such time (being not less than 28 days from the publication of the notice) as is specified in the notice.

The responsible Minister must ensure that all comments and submissions are considered before the statutory rule is made.
