Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement proclamation—a formal legal notice that activates specific parts of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Amendment Act 2009.

What it does:

Sets 18 April 2010 as the official start date for items 6 and 7 of Schedule 3 of the Amendment Act
These specific provisions (not reproduced here) become legally enforceable on that date

Why it matters: Parliament often passes laws that don't take effect immediately. This proclamation acts as the legal 'on switch,' allowing the government to control exactly when new renewable energy rules begin applying.

Important note: This is purely a procedural document. It announces the timing but does not contain the actual policy changes or substance of items 6 and 7—it simply triggers them into operation.
