Tasmania regulation
This order requires people who handle veterinary chemical products and those conducting ground agricultural spraying in Tasmania to follow Codes of Practice published by the Council (s4, s5(1)). It designates the whole of Tasmania as the chemical control area (s5(3)).
Compliance costs fall on handlers and sprayers; the Codes are set by a Council, giving that body discretion over technical standards (s4, s5). The order takes effect on Gazette notification (s2) and uses the Acts Interpretation Act for interpretation (s3).
