This proclamation is the legal trigger that switches the Act 'on'. Without it, the Valuation of Land Act 2001 would just sit on the shelf unenforced. The delayed start for section 65 suggests that particular provision needed more preparation time — perhaps involving systems, staff training, or transitional arrangements."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Based on the available text, there is no evidence of scope change.

Mechanically, it brings the Act’s legal powers and obligations into force on that date; the proclamation itself does not set fees or change what the Act covers, so any compliance costs arise from the Act once it commences."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-069","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-069/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-069/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-069/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-069/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2002-069/documents"}}
