Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement proclamation—a formal legal instrument that switches on part of an Act on a specific date.

What it does:

Sets 11 September 2006 as the day when Schedule 1 of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Amendment Act 2006 comes into force (becomes legally active)
Issued by the Governor-General under the power granted by section 2(1) of that same Act

Why it matters: Parliament often passes laws that don't start immediately. This proclamation is the "on button"—it triggers the amendments in Schedule 1, allowing the changes to Australia’s renewable energy certificate scheme to take legal effect from the specified date.
