257 Regulations may adopt codes or legislation
In this section —
code means a code, code of practice, standard, rule, specification, administrative procedure, quality assurance scheme or other document, published in or outside Australia by any public authority or other person, including the Minister or the CEO, that does not by itself have legislative effect in this State;
subsidiary legislation includes rules, regulations, instructions, local laws and by‑laws.
The regulations may adopt, either wholly or in part or with modifications and either specifically or by reference —
any code; or
any subsidiary legislation made, determined or issued under any other Act or under any Act of the Commonwealth, another State or a Territory.
If the regulations adopt a code or subsidiary legislation, it is adopted as existing or in force from time to time unless the regulations prescribe that a particular text is adopted.
Particulars of any code or subsidiary legislation adopted by the regulations must be published on, or accessible through, the Department’s website.
