The scope remains tightly confined to the original statutory purpose of managing road access rights."},"complexity_factors":["Very short document (approximately 200 words)","Only 3 defined road segments with precise measurements","No conditional logic or nested exceptions","Simple structure: three schedules with straightforward declaratory language","Minimal cross-referencing (only references to revoked instruments and a plan number)","Single operative mechanism (declaration and revocation) with no subordinate provisions"],"plain_english_summary":"This is a **Tasmanian government proclamation** that changes the legal status of certain roads near Perth and Breadalbane in Tasmania.\n\n**What it does:**\n- **Declares a new limited access road**: An 8.27 kilometre stretch of road from the southern entrance to Perth to near Breadalbane is now a \"limited access road.\" This means property owners along this stretch can no longer automatically claim a right to access the main road from their land. Instead, they need special permission (a permit) to create new driveways or entrances.\n\n- **Removes limited access road status from two other stretches**: Two sections of road (0.235 km and 4.67 km) are no longer limited access roads. This means property owners along these stretches regain their normal rights to access the road from their land without needing special permits.\n\n- **Cleans up old laws**: It officially cancels two older proclamations from 1970 and 1996 that are no longer needed.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Property owners, farmers, and businesses along these specific road sections in northern Tasmania\n- Local councils and the Department of State Growth (which manages Tasmanian roads)\n- Anyone developing land or building new entrances in these areas\n\n**Why it matters:**\nLimited access roads are used to improve traffic safety and flow on busy roads by controlling how many driveways and intersections exist. This change reflects updated road planning—likely because of new infrastructure (the overpass at Breadalbane mentioned) and changing traffic patterns. For affected landowners, this changes what they can do with their property without government approval."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Based on the available text, there is no indication that the scope of this proclamation has changed from its original intent.

No amendments altering scope are noted since its commencement on 21 February 2024."},"complexity_factors":["The document is an administrative proclamation with a narrow, specific purpose — low inherent legal complexity","The enabling legislation (Roads and Jetties Act 1935) is older and may have technical definitions, but the proclamation itself is typically a short instrument","The actual substantive content of the proclamation is not visible in the text provided, limiting full analysis","No cross-references to complex regulatory regimes or multiple interacting statutes are evident"],"plain_english_summary":"This is a Tasmanian Government proclamation made under the Roads and Jetties Act 1935 to formally declare, reclassify, alter or close a public road or jetty.
