Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation removes three old sets of rules that previously controlled building heights near airports and air navigation facilities.

What it does:

Cancels the Air Navigation (Buildings Control) Regulations 1966 and two later amendments from 1967 and 1970
These old rules had restricted how tall buildings could be built near airports to prevent interference with flight paths and navigation equipment

Why it matters: This is a housekeeping measure that tidies up the statute books. The building height restrictions were likely replaced by modern planning laws or transferred to state/territory planning systems, making these Commonwealth regulations obsolete.
