Port Authorities Regulations 2001
Delegated Legislation Committee (2001 - 2017)· 26 September 2001general_report
The WA Delegated Legislation Committee reviewed the Port Authorities Regulations 2001, finding that several regulations were potentially ultra vires (beyond the powers granted by the Port Authorities Act 1999) or more appropriately contained in the Act itself. Concerns centered on regulations regarding liability exemptions and powers of entry. The Committee accepted undertakings from the Minister to repeal or amend the problematic regulations.
Impact
The report affects port authorities, vessel owners/operators, and third parties who may suffer loss or damage within port areas. It also impacts the balance between commercial operations of ports and public rights.
