It provides three forms of assistance: matched recurrent grants tied to State/student contributions, capital reimbursements for listed building projects (and up to half the cost for new approved projects), and a pooled library fund (up to $500,000). Ministerial approvals, State upfront spending, and repayment if conditions aren’t met are required—affecting students, staff and State education departments."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":5,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"The Act replaces the 1966 statute (s.3) and restates the Commonwealth’s grant programme for 1967–1969, updating and specifying recurrent and capital funding amounts and project lists in detailed Schedules. It expands operational discretion by expressly authorising the Minister to approve additional land-purchase projects (s.5(c)) and to approve courses and library material (s.5(1)), while preserving most prior payments by deeming them to correspond to provisions of this Act (s.3(2)). The practical scope therefore shifts from a general continuing scheme to a time‑limited, schedule‑driven set of entitlements and caps for the stated years."},"complexity_factors":["Detailed numeric schedules listing per-college eligibility thresholds and maximum recurrent grants, and project-by-project capital contributions (First Schedule; Second Schedule).","Mixed payment rules: formulaic proportional payments when fees plus State contributions fall short of schedule amounts (s.6(1)(b)) alongside fixed maximum amounts (s.6(1)(a)).","Ministerial approval and revocation powers for courses, approved projects and library material, with a requirement to table newly approved projects in Parliament (s.5(1),(3)).","Capital grant rules tying Commonwealth payments to State contributions, project-specific caps, an overall cap across listed projects, and 50% matching for non-specified projects (s.7(1)–(5)).","Separate, capped library-material assistance with ministerial approval and a $500,000 aggregate ceiling (s.8(1)–(3)).","Conditions on use of funds, mandatory application of matched amounts to approved college purposes, reporting requirements and repayment obligations if conditions unmet (s.6(3); s.7(6); s.8(2); s.9).","Definitions that affect eligibility and accounting (e.g. 'capital expenditure' and the $2,000 equipment threshold) introduce interpretation complexity (s.4).","Transitional repeal and deeming of prior Act payments except for certain schedule-listed projects (s.3).","Treasurer’s advance power (s.10) subjects interim payments to the same statutory conditions, adding administrative discretion and compliance tracking.","Multi-year application (1967–1969) with cross-references between definitions, conditions and the Schedules increases the number of interdependent rules (s.4(1))."],"plain_english_summary":"This Act authorises the Commonwealth to pay financial assistance to States for colleges of advanced education for the years 1967–1969. It prescribes how recurrent and capital grants are calculated or capped (set out in the Schedules), requires Ministerial approval for courses, projects and library purchases, and attaches conditions, reporting duties and repayment obligations. Payments are drawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund and the Treasurer may make advances; the Minister has discretion over approvals and amounts."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/states-grants-advanced-education-act-1967","history":"/api/acts/states-grants-advanced-education-act-1967/history","analysis":"/api/acts/states-grants-advanced-education-act-1967/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/states-grants-advanced-education-act-1967/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/states-grants-advanced-education-act-1967/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/states-grants-advanced-education-act-1967/documents"}}
