Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2007

In this section —

means a matter or issue of a transitional nature that arises as a result of the enactment of the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Amendment (Container Deposit) Act 2019 or the coming into operation of provisions of that Act or regulations under this Act; and

includes a saving or application matter or issue;

If there is not sufficient provision in this Part for dealing with a transitional matter, regulations may prescribe anything required, necessary or convenient to be prescribed in relation to that matter.

Transitional regulations may provide that specified provisions of this Act —

do not apply to or in relation to any matter; or

apply with specified modifications to or in relation to any matter.

If transitional regulations provide that a specified state of affairs is taken to have existed, or not to have existed, on and from a day that is earlier than the day on which the regulations are published in the Gazette but not earlier than the day on which the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Amendment (Container Deposit) Act 2019 section 6 comes into operation, the regulations have effect according to their terms.

If transitional regulations contain a provision referred to in subsection (4), the provision does not operate so as to —

affect in a manner prejudicial to any person (other than the State or an authority of the State), the rights of that person existing before the day of publication of those regulations; or

impose liabilities on any person (other than the State or an authority of the State) in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before the day of publication of those regulations.

Transitional regulations made in relation to a matter referred to in subsection (3) must be made within whatever period is reasonably and practicably necessary to deal with a transitional matter.
