Schedule 1—Transitional provisions
Part 10—Transitional provisions
12—Interpretation
In this Part—
repealed Act means the Public and Environmental Health Act 1987.
13—Appeals
(1) An appeal under section 25 of the repealed Act will, after the commencement of this clause—
(a) lie to the South Australian Public Health Council constituted under this Act rather than the Public and Environmental Health Council constituted under the repealed Act; and
(b) be heard and determined by the Public Health Review Panel constituted under this Act (with 3 members constituting the Review Panel and 2 members constituting a quorum) rather than a review committee constituted by the Council under the repealed Act.
(2) A reference in Part 3 Division 5 of the repealed Act to the Council will be taken to include a reference to SAPHC acting under subclause (1)(a) and a reference in that Division to a review committee will be taken to include a reference to the Review Panel acting under subclause (1)(b).
(3) Subclauses (1) and (2) apply despite the fact—
(a) that section 25 of the repealed Act may still be in operation on the commencement of this clause; and
(b) that the appeal relates to a requirement imposed under Part 3 of the repealed Act before the commencement of this clause.
14—Detention
To avoid doubt, nothing in this Act affects the operation of a warrant issued under section 32 of the repealed Act before the commencement of this clause (and that section will continue to apply to and in relation to a person who is subject to an application for a warrant or detention under that section until the matter or detention is brought to an end under that section).
15—Directions
To avoid doubt, nothing in this Act affects the operation of a direction under section 33 of the repealed Act in force immediately before the commencement of this clause (and that section will continue to apply to and in relation to a person who is subject to a direction under that section until the direction no longer has effect under that section).
16—Other transitional provisions
(1) The Governor may, by regulation, make other provisions of a saving or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of this Act.
(2) A provision of a regulation made under subclause (1) may, if the regulation so provides, take effect from the commencement of the relevant Act or from a later day.
(3) To the extent to which a provision takes effect under subclause (2) from a day earlier than the day of the regulation's publication in the Gazette, the provision does not operate to the disadvantage of a person by—
(a) decreasing the person's rights; or
(b) imposing liabilities on the person.

171—Transitional provisions
(1) A right of review under section 76 or 96 of the principal Act in existence before the relevant day (but not exercised before that day) will be exercised as if this Part had been in operation before that right arose, so that the relevant proceedings may be commenced before the Tribunal rather than the District Court.
(2) Nothing in this section affects any proceedings before the District Court commenced before the relevant day.
(3) In this section—
principal Act means the South Australian Public Health Act 2011;
relevant day means the day on which this Part comes into operation;
Tribunal means the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal established under the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013.
South Australian Public Health (COVID-19) Amendment Act 2022, Sch 2—Transitional provisions
1—Interpretation
In this Schedule—
last relevant emergency declaration means the relevant emergency declaration in force immediately before the commencement of this Schedule;
relevant direction means a direction or requirement apparently in force under section 25 of the Emergency Management Act 2004 immediately before the cessation of the last relevant emergency declaration;
relevant emergency declaration means a declaration under section 23 of the Emergency Management Act 2004 in respect of the outbreak of COVID‑19 within South Australia.
2—Continuation of directions
(1) On the cessation of the last relevant emergency declaration, a relevant direction continues in force as a direction under section 90C of the South Australian Public Health Act 2011 (as inserted by this Act) whether or not it is a direction of a kind that could be made under that section as in force after the commencement of this Act.
(2) For the purposes of this clause, a reference in a relevant direction—
(a) to an authorised officer will be taken to be a reference to an emergency officer under the South Australian Public Health Act 2011; and
(b) to the State Co-ordinator will (where the context permits) be taken to be a reference to the Chief Public Health Officer; and
(c) to another relevant direction will be taken to be a reference to that direction as continued in force under subclause (1).
(3) If a relevant direction continues in force under subclause (1), any approval or exemption granted under that direction that is in force immediately before the cessation of the last relevant emergency declaration also continues in force as if it had been granted under the direction as continued under subclause (1).
3—Emergency officers
A person who was, immediately before the cessation of the last relevant emergency declaration, appointed as an authorised officer under section 17 of the Emergency Management Act 2004 will, on the cessation of the last relevant emergency declaration, be taken to be appointed as an emergency officer under the South Australian Public Health Act 2011 and—
(a) any conditions applying to the person's appointment under the Emergency Management Act 2004 will also apply to the person's appointment under the South Australian Public Health Act 2011; and
