Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 5 Hansard (15 May) . . Page.. 1589 ..

Mr Humphries (continuing):

example, by being cancelled. The net effect is the transition to the new regulatory framework will be completed substantially with 12 months.

Schedule two to the Bill contains amendments to a number of Acts designed to ensure that they and the Environment Protection Bill operate consistently. In particular, the Nature Conservation Act is amended to require it to be interpreted and administered consistently with other environmental laws. A provision to the same effect has been included in the Environment Protection Bill and is designed to help promote the operation of environmental laws in an integrated way.

The Bill also provides for the making of regulations to deal with any savings and transitional provisions not provided for by this Bill.

I commend the Bill to the House.
