The building height restrictions were likely replaced by modern planning laws or transferred to state/territory planning systems, making these Commonwealth regulations obsolete."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/air-navigation-buildings-control-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/air-navigation-buildings-control-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/air-navigation-buildings-control-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/air-navigation-buildings-control-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/air-navigation-buildings-control-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/air-navigation-buildings-control-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
