4 Interpretation of this Act and related legislation

There are a number of places where the reader might find the definition of a term used in this Act or the related Gas Pipelines Access (Commonwealth) Law and Gas Pipelines Access (Commonwealth) Regulations. Apart from terms defined specifically for the purposes of a particular provision (for example, see subsection 21(2)), definitions are located as follows: (a) if a term is defined for the purposes of this Act only—section 5 of this Act; (b) if a term is defined for the purposes of the Gas Pipelines Access (Commonwealth) Law and the Gas Pipelines Access (Commonwealth) Regulations and the meaning of that term is specific to the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth—section 12 of this Act; (c) if a term is defined for the purposes of the Gas Pipelines Access (Commonwealth) Law and the Gas Pipelines Access (Commonwealth) Regulations and the term has the same meaning for every jurisdiction that participates in the national scheme for third party access to gas pipelines—section 2 of Schedule 1 to the South Australian Act and the Appendix to that Schedule. In addition, the Appendix referred to in paragraph (c) also makes other provisions for the interpretation of that Law. That Appendix, or substantially corresponding provisions, will apply to each jurisdiction that participates in the national scheme under the law of that jurisdiction.
