Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation repeals (cancels) the Supply and Development (Rocket Range) Regulations 1960, which were old rules governing Australia's rocket range (historically the Woomera Test Range in South Australia).

What it does:

Removes the 1960 regulations made under the Supply and Development Act 1939.
This is a housekeeping measure to clear obsolete laws from the statute books.

Who it affects:

The Department of Defence and any personnel or contractors previously operating under the 1960 regulations.
Operations at the rocket range will now be governed by more modern legislation rather than these 30-year-old rules.

Why it matters:

Prevents confusion by removing outdated legal requirements that may conflict with current defence and safety regulations.
Ensures rocket range activities are managed under contemporary legal frameworks.
