Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: A formal proclamation (official government notice) that activates a specific part of previously passed environmental laws.

What it does: This document sets 15 January 2007 as the start date for item 763 of Schedule 1 of the Environment and Heritage Legislation Amendment Act (No. 1) 2006.

Why it matters: Legislation often passes Parliament but doesn't take effect immediately. This proclamation acts as the legal 'switch' that turns on that specific amendment, making it enforceable law from the nominated date. Without this document, item 763 would remain inactive.

Who is involved: Issued by the Governor-General (representing the Crown) with advice from the Federal Executive Council, as authorised by the parent Act itself.
