The information includes commencement details for amending laws and details of any application, saving or transitional provisions that are not included in this compilation.\n\nEndnote 4 (Amendment history) provides information about the amendments at the provision (generally section or equivalent) level and includes information about any provision of the compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law.\n\nIt also includes information about any misdescribed amendment (that is, an amendment that does not accurately describe the amendment to be made). If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, the amendment is incorporated into the compiled law and the abbreviation “(md)” added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history. If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the abbreviation “(md not incorp)” is added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history.\n\nEndnote 2—Abbreviation key\n\n| ad = added or inserted                                | (md not incorp) = misdescribed amendment |\n| ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |\n| am = amended                                          | cannot be given effect                   |\n| amdt = amendment                                      | mod = modified/modification              |\n| c = clause(s)                                         | No. = Number(s)                          |\n| Ch = Chapter(s)                                       | par = paragraph(s)/subparagraph(s)       |\n| def = definition(s)                                   | /sub‑subparagraph(s)                     |\n| Dict = Dictionary                                     | Pt = Part(s)                             |\n| disallowed = disallowed by Parliament                 | r = regulation(s)/rule(s)                |\n| Div = Division(s)                                     | rep = repealed                           |\n| exp = expires/expired or ceases/ceased to have effect | rs = repealed and substituted            |\n| F = Federal Register of Legislation                   | s = section(s)/subsection(s)             |\n| gaz = gazette                                         | Sch = Schedule(s)                        |\n| LA = Legislation Act 2003                             | Sdiv = Subdivision(s)                    |\n| LIA = Legislative Instruments Act 2003                | underlining = whole or part not          |\n| (md) = misdescribed amendment can be given effect     | commenced or to be commenced             |","sortOrder":0}],"analysis":{"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"These endnotes do not change the substantive scope of the Licence Area Plan.

They do three practical things:\n  - Describe the purpose of the endnotes (Endnote 1). This says the endnotes give information about the compilation and the compiled law.\n  - Set out an abbreviation key (Endnote 2). This lists the short forms used elsewhere in the compilation (for example, \"am\" for amended, \"rep\" for repealed) and explains special markers like \"(md)\" (a misdescribed amendment that can be given effect) and \"(md not incorp)\" (a misdescribed amendment that cannot be given effect).\n  - Summarise the kinds of amendment-history information included (Endnotes 3 and 4). This says the endnotes will show what laws have changed the compiled instrument, when those changes start to apply (commencement), and whether there are savings, transitional or other application provisions not reproduced in the body of the compilation.\n\n**Who this affects**\n\n- Primary users are people who read the compiled instrument: lawyers, regulators, licensing staff, broadcasters, and members of the public who need to know the legal history of the licence area plan.\n\n- The endnotes affect those users by helping them find and understand amendment, commencement and transitional information without altering the underlying legal rules. They are a navigational and explanatory tool, not a source of new obligations.\n\n**Why it matters (mechanics and risks)**\n\n- Mechanically, the endnotes tell you where to look for the legal history and how to interpret shorthand used throughout the compilation. That reduces search time and misreading when checking what version of a provision applies.\n\n- The document flags a specific risk: some amendments are \"misdescribed.\" The endnotes use markers (\"(md)\" and \"(md not incorp)\") to show whether a misdescribed amendment can be given effect. If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect, that may create ambiguity about the intended change until corrected by further legislative action or official advice.\n\n**Costs, incentives and trade-offs**\n\n- Direct financial costs: none to regulated parties arising from the endnotes themselves. They are explanatory material prepared as part of the official compilation process.\n\n- Incentives and behaviour: the endnotes encourage users to rely on the compilation for historical and commencement information and to check the labelled notes where an amendment is misdescribed. They do not change regulated behaviour or impose obligations; behaviour change is limited to how users research and verify the law.\n\n- Implementation and compliance risk: low. The main operational risk is potential confusion where an amendment is marked \"(md not incorp)\"; users may need to consult primary amendment instruments or legal advice to resolve uncertainty.\n\n**Effect on private enterprise, competition and regulation**\n\n- Practically nil. The endnotes do not alter substantive legal rules, licensing terms or regulatory powers. They only change the ease of finding and interpreting amendment history.\n\n**Who pays, who decides, and what changes**\n\n- Who pays: there are no direct costs imposed on private parties by these endnotes. Costs of preparing compilations are borne by the office that prepares official compilations (typically Parliamentary Counsel or an equivalent body) as part of normal statutory publishing.\n\n- Who decides: the content of the endnotes is set by the official compilation practice and the compilers who prepare the consolidated text, with the underlying amendments decided by Parliament and the Executive when they pass amending laws.\n\n- What behaviour changes: readers are guided to use the endnotes to interpret the compilation and to note where amendments are misdescribed; there is no change to regulated conduct or licensing rights.
