It is issued on advice of the Executive Council, signed by the Governor and Minister for Infrastructure, and administered by the Department of State Growth; the text contains no operational or cost details—its immediate legal effect is simply to remove the prior proclamation's force."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Based on the available text, there is no indication that the scope of this proclamation changed from its original intent.

However, a definitive assessment is not possible without the full operative text of the proclamation."},"complexity_factors":["The substantive operative content of the proclamation is not present in the provided text — only metadata and status information is visible, limiting full analysis","Proclamations under the Roads and Jetties Act are generally narrow and administrative in nature","The enabling Act (Roads and Jetties Act 1935) is older legislation with accumulated amendments, which can add interpretive complexity","No amending instruments are detailed in the provided text, so the full amendment history is unclear"],"plain_english_summary":"This Tasmanian government proclamation, made under the Roads and Jetties Act 1935, formally changes the legal status of a public road or jetty — typically declaring, altering, or closing it. It affects adjacent landowners, local councils, and users by shifting responsibilities, access and rights.

Governments regularly update or replace old legal instruments to keep the law current. Without doing this, outdated rules could create confusion about which regulations apply to roads and jetties infrastructure."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2018-053","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2018-053/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2018-053/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2018-053/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2018-053/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2018-053/documents"}}
