Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is the legal 'start button' for new maritime security rules.

What it does This proclamation formally activates Schedule 1 of the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Amendment Act 2006, making those amendments law on 6 November 2006.

Why proclamations matter Not all laws begin immediately when Parliament passes them. This Act needed formal 'commencement' by the Governor-General on the advice of the Federal Executive Council. This document fixes that specific date.

What Schedule 1 covers Based on the Act's title, Schedule 1 introduces new requirements for security plans and other security measures for Australia's maritime transport system and offshore facilities (such as oil rigs). Without this proclamation, those new rules could not be enforced.
