Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation repeals (cancels) five outdated sets of rules about defence areas that were originally made in 1937, 1939, 1963, and 1976.

What it does

Completely removes the Control of Defence Areas Regulations and all their amendments from Australian law.
These old rules controlled entry, behaviour, and permits for restricted military zones and defence facilities.

Who it affects

Defence personnel, contractors, and visitors who previously relied on permissions or passes issued under these specific 1937–1976 regulations.
Anyone managing compliance for defence bases that were still technically operating under these old rules.

Why it matters

Legal housekeeping: Removes decades-old regulations that have likely been superseded by modern security legislation, base management orders, or newer permit systems.
Simplification: Eliminates redundant rules, reducing confusion about which legal framework applies to defence area access.
