Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation is housekeeping for the statute book. It cancels six old sets of rules that once designated ocean areas where the Royal Australian Navy could conduct live firing exercises.

Between 1960 and 1976, various regulations mapped out specific "firing areas" for naval weapons training. This instrument repeals (removes) all six of those outdated regulation sets in one clean sweep.

Key points:

No new rules: It doesn't create new restrictions or permissions—it simply deletes old ones
Administrative cleanup: This is routine maintenance to remove laws that are no longer needed
Modernisation: The repealed rules were replaced by newer arrangements for managing naval training areas

This is a straightforward repeal with no legal tricks or hidden provisions.
