(3) The Statutory Instruments Act 1992 (Qld), as it applies in the Territory from time to time, applies in relation to: (a) an applied law that is a Queensland statutory instrument (including a Queensland statutory instrument as amended by this Ordinance); and (b) subject to any contrary intention in the service delivery rule—a provision of a Queensland statutory instrument that is applied, adopted or incorporated, with or without modification, by a service delivery rule.
