Jetties Act 1926

Regulations made under this Act —

may be general or restricted in their application, and may be limited to any particular jetty or work;

may be declared to be applicable and shall then apply to jetties under the control of any local government, but subject to any local law made under the Local Government Act 1995 and for the time being in operation;

shall not, except where subsections (2), (3) and (4) provide otherwise, apply to jetties forming part of any Government railway or under the control of the Public Transport Authority of Western Australia established by the Public Transport Authority Act 2003 section 5;

except as in this section otherwise provided, shall not, unless made pursuant to the power defined in section 4(3), (4), (5), (13), (13a), (14), or (15), apply to private jetties.

Where the Governor, as he is hereby empowered to do by Order in Council, declares regulations made under this Act to apply to any jetty referred to in subsection (1)(c), regulations made under this Act, whether before or after the coming into operation of the Jetties Act Amendment Act 1957, shall apply in respect of the jetty accordingly.

Where a regulation made before the coming into operation of the Jetties Act Amendment Act 1957, purports to apply to any jetty referred to in subsection (1)(c), if after the coming into operation of that Act an Order in Council is made under subsection (2) applying the regulation to the jetty, the Order in Council shall be deemed to have been effective immediately prior to the making of the regulation, and anything done in pursuance or purported pursuance of the regulation shall be deemed to have been validly done and is hereby confirmed.

The Order in Council published in the Gazette of 14 December 1951, purporting to apply regulations made under this Act to the public jetty at Port Hedland is hereby validated and confirmed.
