Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal proclamation that sets 1 July 2004 as the date when Parts 1, 2 and 3 of Schedule 1 to the National Measurement Amendment Act 2004 come into force (commence).

What this means:

Measurement laws updated: The amendments to Australia's national measurement laws—which regulate everything from grocery scales to petrol pumps—took effect on this date.
Legal mechanism: The Governor-General issued this proclamation using powers granted by section 2(1) of the Amendment Act itself.
Executive approval: The decision was made on the advice of the Federal Executive Council and the Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources.

In short, this is the official 'start date' notice that activated specific changes to how Australia regulates weights and measures.
