Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 8 Hansard (27 June) . . Page.. 2537 ..

1 of 3

The Animal Disease (Amendment) Bill 1996 represents one step in the implementation of this Government's policy of reducing the volume of dated legislation applying in the ACT.

This legislation will utilise the modern framework of the Animal Diseases Act 1993 to control endemic and exotic diseases in bees and will replace the disease control provisions contained in the Apiaries Act 1928.

The Apiaries Act 1928 was identified in the Pre 1980 Legislation Review as being outdated and it was recommended that the Act be repealed. The primary purpose of the legislation was to enable the control of diseases which might adversely affect commercial apiary operations.
