This proclamation (an official order signed by the Governor-General) activates Schedule 1 of the *Road Transport Reform (Dangerous Goods) Repeal Act 2009*.\n\n**What it does:**\n- **Sets the date:** The repeal takes effect on **5 April 2010**.\n- **Legal effect:** On that date, the old dangerous goods transport laws targeted by the 2009 Act officially stop being law.\n- **Who made it:** Governor-General Quentin Bryce, acting on advice from the Federal Executive Council (senior ministers), as authorised by the parent Act.\n\n**Why this matters:** Laws often pass Parliament but don't start immediately. This document fixes the exact day the repeal happens, ensuring businesses and regulators know when the old rules cease to apply."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/road-transport-reform-dangerous-goods-repeal-act-2009-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/road-transport-reform-dangerous-goods-repeal-act-2009-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/road-transport-reform-dangerous-goods-repeal-act-2009-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/road-transport-reform-dangerous-goods-repeal-act-2009-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/road-transport-reform-dangerous-goods-repeal-act-2009-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/road-transport-reform-dangerous-goods-repeal-act-2009-proclamation/documents"}}
