Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement proclamation—an official order that switches on part of a law so it becomes enforceable.

What it does It sets 1 July 2007 as the date when Schedule 1 of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Amendment (Township Leasing) Act 2007 takes effect. Schedule 1 contains the main changes to the rules about leasing land in Aboriginal townships in the Northern Territory.

Who made it The Deputy for the Governor-General (acting on government advice) signed the proclamation on 28 June 2007, bringing the reforms into force just three days later.

Why it matters Without this proclamation, the new leasing laws passed by Parliament would remain dormant. This document is the legal trigger that actually starts the clock on the new system.
