Schedule 4—Transitional provisions 3—Transitional provisions—State Transport Authority (1) The Governor may, by proclamation— (a) transfer real or personal property of the State Transport Authority (in the case of a transfer effected before the commencement of Schedule 2) or of TransAdelaide (in the case of a transfer effected after that commencement) to a Minister of the Crown, or an agency or instrumentality of the Crown; (b) transfer the employment of a person who is employed by the State Transport Authority (in the case of a transfer effected before the commencement of Schedule 2) or by TransAdelaide (in the case of a transfer effected after that commencement) to an administrative unit of the Public Service, or an agency or instrumentality of the Crown. (2) The Governor may, by proclamation, vest any rights or liabilities (whether vested or contingent) of the State Transport Authority (in the case of a transfer effected before the commencement of Schedule 2) or of TransAdelaide (in the case of a transfer effected after that commencement) in a Minister of the Crown, or an agency or instrumentality of the Crown. (3) The Governor may, by further proclamation, vary or revoke a proclamation under subclause (1) or (2). (4) A proclamation under subclause (3) will, if the proclamation so provides, be taken to have had effect from the making of the original proclamation under subclause (1) or (2). (5) The transfer of the employment of a person by a proclamation under this clause will be effected without reduction in salary and without loss of accrued or accruing rights in respect of employment. (6) Subclause (5) does not affect any process commenced for variation of a person's rights in respect of employment. (7) A reference in an instrument to the State Transport Authority will, according to its context, and subject to this Act, be construed as a reference— (b) to TransAdelaide; or (c) to a Minister of the Crown, or an agency or instrumentality of the Crown, as the case may require. 5—Transitional provisions—Accreditations (5) TransAdelaide will be taken to hold an accreditation under this Act appropriate to the passenger transport services operated by it from time to time. 8—Transitional provisions—Taxi-cab licences (1) A taxi-cab licence in force, immediately before the commencement of this provision, under the Metropolitan Taxi-Cab Act 1956, other than one designated under that Act as a hire car licence, will, on that commencement, be taken to be a licence issued under Part 6, conferring the same authority on its holder, as if this Act had been in force when the licence was issued. (2) The regulations may provide for the designation of a licence under subclause (1) as a licence of a particular kind or grade. 9—Centralised booking service membership A person who, immediately before 19 April 1994— (a) was licensed under another Act to operate a passenger transport service; and (b) was not a member of a booking service involving the use of a radio communication network, cannot be required to be a member of a centralised booking service under this Act. 10—Transitional provisions—General (1) The regulations may contain other provisions of a saving or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of this Act. (2) The regulations may, for example, make provision for or with respect to the transitional application of any regulation imposing a limit on the age of a vehicle that may be used as a public passenger vehicle. (3) A regulation made under this Schedule may, if the regulation so provides, take effect from the date of assent to this Act or any later date. (4) To the extent to which a regulation takes effect earlier than the day on which it is made, the regulation does not operate so as to— (a) affect, in a manner prejudicial to any person (other than the Crown or an agency or instrumentality of the Crown), the rights of that person existing before that day; or (b) impose liabilities on any person (other than the Crown or an agency or instrumentality of the Crown) in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before that day. (5) No fees or stamp duty are payable in respect of the vesting of property under this Schedule, or in respect of any instrument evidencing or giving effect to such a vesting. (6) The Acts Interpretation Act 1915 applies, except to the extent of any inconsistency with the provisions of this Act, to any repeal or amendment effected by this Act.
