It affects local councils, the state roads agency and potentially property owners or road users whose road administration — and therefore maintenance, contact points and legal liability — may change.\n\nThe detailed substantive changes aren’t provided in the available text; the order has been in force since 8 March 1995."},"kimi_summary":{"content_quality":"rejected","complexity_score":2,"rejection_reason":"The provided text is a fragment or stub that does not contain the actual operative provisions of the amendment.

It updates the original rules about how local councils manage public roads. The document itself doesn't specify exactly what changes are being made to the Principal Order — it simply references it and states this amendment takes effect once published in the Government Gazette.

It does not set out substantive operational rules; administration is allocated to the Department of Environment and Land Management. The instrument therefore changes the legal framing and commencement timing of the Principal Order and so affects those subject to that Order."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/local-government-highways-amendment-order-1995","history":"/api/acts/local-government-highways-amendment-order-1995/history","analysis":"/api/acts/local-government-highways-amendment-order-1995/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/local-government-highways-amendment-order-1995/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/local-government-highways-amendment-order-1995/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/local-government-highways-amendment-order-1995/documents"}}
