The proclamation appears to serve its standard purpose under the Roads and Jetties Act 1935 — formally declaring or altering the status of a road or jetty.

It affects nearby property owners, local councils and road authorities, and users by shifting maintenance responsibilities and legal rights.\n\nThe proclamation has been in force since 9 December 1998.

This typically means the government can exercise powers like maintenance, regulation of traffic, road closures, or construction works on these sections. Without this proclamation, those specific legal powers might not apply to these particular road segments."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-149","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-149/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-149/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-149/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-149/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-149/documents"}}
