It takes effect immediately after the related Road Transport Rules commence.\n\nPractically, the High Court will be the body responsible for enforcing parking controls on that specific block; drivers and vehicle owners there must comply with those controls. The instrument does not change the parking rules themselves—it only appoints who enforces them (see ss 2–5)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/australian-capital-territory-national-land-road-transport-parking-authority-declaration-2025","history":"/api/acts/australian-capital-territory-national-land-road-transport-parking-authority-declaration-2025/history","analysis":"/api/acts/australian-capital-territory-national-land-road-transport-parking-authority-declaration-2025/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/australian-capital-territory-national-land-road-transport-parking-authority-declaration-2025/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/australian-capital-territory-national-land-road-transport-parking-authority-declaration-2025/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/australian-capital-territory-national-land-road-transport-parking-authority-declaration-2025/documents"}}
