It takes effect the day after registration.  \n\nMechanically, the exemption allows that parcel to be sold or transferred without the Act’s usual s.18 constraints, reducing compliance for the parcel’s owner or buyer.

This notice creates an **exemption** for one specific property.\n\n**The property affected:**\n- **Address:** 250A Taylors Road, Delahey, Victoria\n- **Legal description:** Lot B on Plan of Subdivision 817647S (Certificate of Title Volume 12062 Folio 254)\n- **Former designation:** Site number 3047 (Sydenham), which was part of the original 1999 privatisation package\n\n**Who it affects:**\nThis likely affects the current owner of this land (probably an electricity transmission company or its successor) who wants to sell or transfer this specific parcel. It also affects anyone looking to buy this particular property.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nWithout this exemption, any sale of this land would require special approval or might be blocked entirely under the 1998 Act. This notice removes that red tape for this one specific transaction or transfer, making it easier to deal with this particular piece of former transmission network land."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/national-transmission-network-sale-exemption-from-restrictions-on-transfer-of-assets-sydenham-notice","history":"/api/acts/national-transmission-network-sale-exemption-from-restrictions-on-transfer-of-assets-sydenham-notice/history","analysis":"/api/acts/national-transmission-network-sale-exemption-from-restrictions-on-transfer-of-assets-sydenham-notice/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/national-transmission-network-sale-exemption-from-restrictions-on-transfer-of-assets-sydenham-notice/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/national-transmission-network-sale-exemption-from-restrictions-on-transfer-of-assets-sydenham-notice/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/national-transmission-network-sale-exemption-from-restrictions-on-transfer-of-assets-sydenham-notice/documents"}}
