It formally declares a specific stretch of **Corinna Road** to be a **subsidiary road** — a type of public road that is typically narrower, less trafficked, or of lower classification than main roads.\n\n**What it does:**\n- Designates 12.3 kilometres of Corinna Road (from the Pieman River crossing at Corinna to where it meets Heemskirk Road) as a subsidiary road under Tasmanian law.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Local residents, visitors, and anyone using this road in western Tasmania.\n- The Department of State Growth, which now administers this road under the subsidiary road classification.\n\n**Why it matters:**\n- Being declared a \"subsidiary road\" affects how the road is maintained, funded, and regulated. It may determine speed limits, maintenance standards, and which government body is responsible for upkeep. This classification helps manage Tasmania's road network by distinguishing between major highways and smaller local roads."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2022-068","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2022-068/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2022-068/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2022-068/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2022-068/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2022-068/documents"}}
