Victorian Conservation Trust Act 1972

On and from the commencement of Part 4 of the Environment and Water Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2005, the Trust is deemed to be the same body as it was immediately before that commencement, despite the changes to the constitution and quorum of the Trust by Part 4 of that Act and no decision, matter or thing is to be affected because of those changes.

The trustees of the Trust holding office immediately before the commencement of Part 4 of the Environment and Water Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2005 continue to hold office after that commencement on the same terms and conditions on which they held office as trustees immediately before that commencement.

Despite the repeal of the Victoria Conservation Trust Act 1978 by Part 4 of the Environment and Water Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2005, any order in force under section 4 of the Victoria Conservation Trust Act 1978 immediately before that repeal is deemed to be an order made under section 3B.

Despite the repeal of the Victoria Conservation Trust (Amendment) Act 1986 and the Royal Botanic Gardens and Victorian Conservation Trust (Amendment) Act 1995 by Part 4 of the Environment and Water Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2005, a reference in any Act, subordinate instrument within the meaning of the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 or any document whatever, unless inconsistent with the context or subject-matter—

to the "Victoria Conservation Trust Act 1972" is deemed to be a reference to the "Victorian Conservation Trust Act 1972"; and

to the "Victoria Conservation Trust" or the "Victorian Conservation Trust" is deemed to be a reference to the Trust for Nature (Victoria).
