Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation cancels (repeals) outdated rules that governed the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation (SMEC)—the company originally created to build the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme.

What it does:

Removes the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation Regulations 1971 from the statute books
Also removes amendments made to those regulations in 1973 and 1988

Who it affects: Primarily the SMEC itself (now a private consulting firm, but still government-owned at this time). The repeal removes old administrative rules that likely became redundant as the corporation modernized its operations.

Why it matters: This is legal housekeeping. When regulations become outdated—superseded by newer laws, administrative changes, or shifts in how an agency operates—they are formally removed to keep the law tidy and prevent confusion. This does not abolish SMEC itself; it simply tidies up the specific 1971 rules that originally governed it.
