Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation scraps (repeals) outdated accommodation rules from 1929 that applied in the Australian Capital Territory (Canberra).

What it does:

Completely removes the Accommodation By-laws (Statutory Rules 1929, No. 22)
These by-laws previously regulated housing or lodging arrangements under the Seat of Government (Administration) Act

Who it affects:

Government agencies, tenants, or property managers in the ACT who were still subject to the 1929 rules
Removes nearly 30-year-old regulatory requirements

Why it matters: This is legislative housekeeping. Rather than updating the old by-laws, the government abolished them entirely—likely because they were obsolete, duplicated other laws, or were no longer needed.
