Note 1: The road transport legislation set out in Schedule 1 does not have the force of law (see paragraph 7(2)(a) of the NTC Act).

Note 2: These Regulations must be made in accordance with the Agreement (see subparagraph 3(b)(ii) of the NTC Act).

Note 3: These Regulations are not subject to disallowance—see regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 44(2)(b) of the Legislation Act 2003.

Note 4: These Regulations are not subject to sunsetting—see regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 54(2)(b) of the Legislation Act 2003.

Note 5: The text set out in Schedule 1 is that of the proposed Road Transport Reform (Vehicle Standards) Regulations 1998, and that in Schedule 2 is that of the proposed Australian Vehicle Standards Rules 1999 Those proposed Regulations and Rules were prepared in the form of Regulations to be made under the Road Transport Reform (Vehicles and Traffic) Act 1993, and were approved in that form by the Ministerial Council for Road Transport on 29 January 1999, but were never actually made as Regulations. The texts set out in Schedules 1 and 2 are as approved by the Council. The texts have been formatted in accordance with current drafting practice (including styles of provision numbering and cross‑referencing) but are otherwise unaltered.
