Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement instrument (a formal legal notice) made by the Assistant Treasurer under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Amendment Regulation 2012 (No. 1).

What it does:

It sets 1 March 2013 as the date when the amendment regulation officially comes into force (becomes legally effective).
It does not contain the actual rule changes itself—it simply activates the regulation so that its amendments to foreign investment rules apply from that date.

Why it matters: Without this notice, the amendment regulation would sit idle and unenforceable. This instrument triggers the legal changes, ensuring businesses and investors know exactly when the new foreign acquisition rules started applying.
