Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This proclamation sets 1 January 1999 as the day the Dangerous Goods Act 1998 begins to apply in Tasmania. From that date the Act’s legal requirements for handling, storing, transporting and regulating dangerous goods become enforceable against relevant businesses and individuals.

Mechanically, the Governor (with Executive Council advice) fixes the start date; the practical effect is to shift compliance obligations and potential penalties onto regulated operators and to vest regulatory responsibilities in the administering department named in the proclamation.
