Workers at Port Augusta must be available all year, while Albany workers have an off-season when attendance is not required.\n\n**Other changes:** This replaces earlier \"Seasonal Ports\" regulations with a new system that distinguishes between seasonal and continuous port categories."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/stevedoring-industry-ports-regulations","history":"/api/acts/stevedoring-industry-ports-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/stevedoring-industry-ports-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/stevedoring-industry-ports-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/stevedoring-industry-ports-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/stevedoring-industry-ports-regulations/documents"}}
