Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

These Regulations specify which local‑government gatherings count as "meetings" for the Legislation Interpretation Act 2021 and list council, electors', Stormwater Management Authority and certain public consultation meetings. They also provide a transitional rule converting some pre‑existing non‑operative publication notes into formal editorial notes when the Act commences. The rules affect South Australian councils, their subsidiaries, the Minister (who may designate certain councils and fix timing) and those who publish or rely on legislative materials.
