Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This 1956 regulation simply cancels out old swimming rules from 1929 that applied in Canberra (then called the 'Seat of Government').

What it does:

Completely scraps the Public Bathing By-laws from 1929 (Statutory Rules 1929, No. 27)

Who it affects:

Anyone swimming or bathing in the Australian Capital Territory (Canberra) at the time, as these local rules governed where and how people could swim in public waters

Why it matters:

It removed outdated restrictions on public bathing that had been in place for nearly 30 years, either ending those specific rules entirely or clearing the way for new regulations to take their place
