Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement proclamation—a formal legal instrument that activates specific parts of an existing law.

What it does:

Sets 1 September 2007 as the date when items 1 to 83 of Schedule 1 to the Native Title Amendment (Technical Amendments) Act 2007 come into force (commence).
This means the technical amendments to native title law became legally active on that date.

Key details:

Made by the Governor-General (Philip Michael Jeffery) on 9 August 2007, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council.
Made under the specific power in the parent Act that allows the Governor-General to fix commencement dates.

Why it matters:

Acts of Parliament often need a separate legal step (like this proclamation) to actually start working. Without this document, those 83 technical amendments would remain written in the law but not yet legally operative.
