Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This proclamation switches on the Australia Council Act 2013.

It fixes 1 July 2013 as the date when sections 3 to 52 of that Act commence (come into force). Until this document was signed, those sections existed on paper but had no legal effect.

Who it affects

The Australia Council (Australia’s national arts funding body)
Artists and arts organisations receiving public funding
The Minister for the Arts

Why it matters Legislation passed by Parliament often needs a separate "starter gun" to activate it. This proclamation pulls the trigger, bringing the main body of the Australia Council Act into operation and allowing the Council to exercise its statutory powers.
