Plain English Summary

What this does

This document officially recognises the Western Australian Shippers Council Inc as a 'designated outwards secondary shipper body' under the Trade Practices Act 1974.

Why this matters

Under Part X of the Trade Practices Act (which regulated international shipping), only officially designated bodies could negotiate with shipping companies ('conferences') on behalf of Australian exporters. This designation gives the WA Shippers Council legal authority to:

Bargain over freight rates for goods leaving Western Australia
Represent exporters in disputes with international shipping lines
Access legal protections available to designated shipper bodies

What changes

This replaces any previous declarations about the same Council, ensuring only this current designation is legally valid.

In plain terms: This is a formal 'stamp of approval' that lets the Council speak for WA exporters when dealing with international shipping companies.
