This section runs from Stewarts Bay Road to Safety Cove Road at Port Arthur.\n- **Removes 15.22 km of the Nubeena Secondary Road** from being a \"subsidiary road\" (a lower-tier road also under state management). This section runs from Littles Road near Premaydena to Safety Cove Road at Port Arthur, passing through Nubeena.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Local residents and businesses in the Port Arthur, Nubeena, and Premaydena areas of Tasmania\n- The Tasmanian Department of Transport (which no longer manages these specific road sections)\n- Local councils (which likely took over responsibility for these roads, though this proclamation doesn't specify the new managing authority)\n\n**Why it matters:**\nWhen a road stops being a state highway or subsidiary road, responsibility for maintenance, signage, and safety typically shifts from the state government to local government. This affects who you complain to about potholes, who pays for upgrades, and potentially what road standards apply. For these specific communities, it means a change in which level of government looks after these roads."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Based on the available information, the proclamation appears to have remained in its original form since commencement on 30 June 1998, with no substantive amendments identified that would suggest a change in scope from its original intent."},"complexity_factors":["The enabling Act (Roads and Jetties Act 1935) is relatively old and may have layered amendments, adding some background complexity","The substantive content of the proclamation itself is not reproduced in the provided text, making full assessment impossible","Proclamations as a legal instrument can interact with other road-related legislation, requiring cross-referencing","Otherwise, proclamations of this type are typically short, specific, and administratively straightforward"],"plain_english_summary":"This is a Tasmanian Government proclamation made under the Roads and Jetties Act 1935 that changes the legal status of a road or jetty (e.g., declaring, altering, or closing it).
