This Order declares a specific list of bridges to be maintained or renewed by the State and revokes earlier statutory rules that allocated responsibility (cl.3–4). It takes effect when its making is notified in the Gazette.
Mechanically, the Order shifts repair and renewal costs from local councils to the State (cl.4) by fixing responsibility in a numbered Schedule of bridges; that Schedule has been updated by later statutory rules rather than changing the Order’s core purpose.
