Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Proclamation officially sets 21 August 2013 as the date when Schedule 3 of the Navigation (Consequential Amendments) Act 2012 comes into force (becomes legally active).

What this means:

Australian laws often pass Parliament but don't start immediately. This document acts as the "on switch" for specific amendments.
It activates the technical changes in Schedule 3—likely updates to maritime safety and navigation rules—nearly five months after it was signed.
The Governor-General issued this under powers granted by the original Act, following advice from the Federal Executive Council.

Why it matters: Without this Proclamation, the amendments in Schedule 3 would remain dormant and unenforceable. This gives the shipping industry and regulators certainty about exactly when the new rules take effect.
