Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation declares Albany, Western Australia to be a 'seasonal port' under the Stevedoring Industry Act.

What this means:

Seasonal ports are harbours where trading ships only arrive during certain times of the year (rather than year-round)
Waterside workers (stevedores—the people who load and unload ships) at Albany are classified as seasonal workers
This means they only need to make themselves available for work during the part of the year when ships actually come in, rather than being required to attend for employment every single day throughout the entire year
It modifies their employment obligations and entitlements under the Stevedoring Industry Act to recognise the intermittent nature of shipping traffic at Albany
