Tasmania act
This Act gives legal effect to "separate rates" that local councils purported to make under the Local Government Act 1993 before this Act started. It commences on Royal Assent and otherwise operates by reference to the Principal Act. By validating those earlier separate-rate decisions, the Act removes uncertainty about their lawfulness and lets councils, ratepayers and creditors rely on past rate notices (see s11).
