191C Validation of network operator agreements

(1) Any network operator agreement or part of a network operator agreement in force or purportedly in force immediately before the commencement day is taken to have, and to always have had, the same force and effect as it would if the amendments to section 90 made by section 10 of the amending Act had been in operation at the time the agreement or part was entered into or purportedly entered into.

(2) Without limiting subsection (1), any act or thing done or omitted to be done, directly or indirectly, in reliance on a network operator agreement or under this or any other Act, whether before, on or after the commencement day, is not invalid and is taken to never have been invalid by reason only that, but for subsection (1), the agreement or any part of the agreement was not entered into in accordance with section 90.

amending Act means the Environment Legislation Amendment (Circular Economy and Other Matters) Act 2023;

commencement day means the day on which section 10 of the amending Act comes into operation.

Pt 10 (Headings and ss 192–212) amended by No. 36/2022 ss 22, 23, repealed by No. 55/2021 s. 212.
