      Commencement                                                                                  1
      The amendments commence, or are taken to have commenced, on 30 June 2010.                     2
      Explanatory note                                                                              3
      The proposed amendments to the Annual Reports (Departments) Act 1985 make it                  4
      clear that the annual report of a Department must include the financial report of any         5
      controlled entity of the Department as prepared under Division 4A of Part 3 of the Public     6
      Finance and Audit Act 1983.                                                                   7

      Insert at the end of the definition of statutory body in section 3 (1):                      10
                     Note. See also section 24A of the State Owned Corporations Act 1989           11
                     which provides that statutory SOCs are also statutory bodies for the          12
                     purposes of this Act.                                                         13

      The proposed amendment to the Annual Reports (Statutory Bodies) Act 1984 inserts a           15
      note to draw attention to the fact that the annual report of a statutory State owned         16
      corporation is also subject to the Act.                                                      17

      Omit "or (f)" from section 18 (2). Insert instead ", (f) or (g)".                            20

      Omit section 76 (1) (h). Insert instead:                                                     22
                   (h) during the last 3 financial years, none of the documents                    23
                         required to have been lodged for the association under                    24
                         section 45 (if the association is a Tier 1 association) or                25
                         section 49 (if the association is a Tier 2 association) has               26
                         been lodged, or                                                           27
      Explanatory note                                                                             28
      Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Associations Incorporation Act 2009               29
      (the Act) allows the Minister for Fair Trading to direct that a name that has been           30
      declared by regulations under the Act to be an unacceptable name for an incorporated         31
      association is acceptable in a particular case. (This power is consistent with that of the   32
      Federal Minister administering the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth, in             33
      relation to names that have been declared by regulations under that Act to be                34
      unacceptable for registration in relation to a company.)                                     35
      Item [2] allows the Director-General to cancel an association's registration if satisfied    36
      that, during the last 3 financial years, none of the documents relating to the finances of   37
      the association that are required to be lodged with the Director-General under the Act,      38
      has been lodged (rather than if satisfied that no "financial statements" for the             39
      association have been lodged, as is currently the case in the Act). The amendment            40
      brings this ground for cancellation into line with that provided for in the Associations     41
      Incorporation Act 1984.                                                                      42

       Section 64 of the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 (the               16
       Act) requires, when a care application is made in the Children's Court in relation to a        17
       child or young person, that the child or young person's parents must be notified and           18
       served with a copy of the care application and all other supporting affidavits and other       19
       documentary evidence that accompanied the application. Item [1] of the proposed                20
       amendments to the Act provides that the parent must also be served with a copy of any          21
       report that accompanied the care application. The amendment makes the provisions of            22
       the Act relating to notification of parents consistent with the provisions relating to care    23
       applications (which recently were amended to require care applications to be                   24
       accompanied by specified reports).                                                             25
       Items [2], [6], [7] and [11] make amendments consequential on the reorganisation of            26
       the Government Service and the amalgamation of a number of Government                          27
       Departments. The amendments enable a Division of the Government Service or a                   28
       branch or other part of a Division (such as a branch of a Department), rather than a           29
       whole Department, to be accredited as a designated agency or registered as a relevant          30
       agency under the Act.                                                                          31
       Items [3], [4], [7] and [11] also make it clear that a branch or part of an organisation may   32
       be accredited as a designated agency or registered as a relevant agency under the Act.         33
       Section 150 of the Act provides that where a child or young person has been placed in          34
       out-of-home care by an order of the Children's Court, the designated agency having             35
       responsibility for the placement of the child or young person must, after a specified          36
       time, conduct a review of the placement. Item [5] repeals the requirement that a report        37
       of the review must be given to the Children's Guardian.                                        38
       Item [8] makes an amendment to clarify that voluntary arrangements for out-of-home             39
       care provided to children or young persons outside New South Wales are not                     40
       arrangements regulated by the Act.                                                             41
       Item [9] repeals a provision made redundant by amendments in the Children                      42
       Legislation Amendment (Wood Inquiry Recommendations) Act 2009 that removed the                 43
       Children's Guardian's functions relating to parental responsibility.                           44
       Section 209 of the Act provides that it is a condition of a licence for a family day care      45
       children's service that the licensee must notify the Director-General of the Department        46
       of Human Services if any adult (other than the licensee) is residing at the licensee's         47



                                                                                         Page 9

      family day care children's service is predominantly provided at the home of a family day     2
      care carer (who is a contractor), rather than at the licensee's home. Item [10] amends       3
      section 209 of the Act so that the notification requirement relates to other adults          4
      residing at the home where the children's care is provided.                                  5

      Currently, a ministerial review of the Commission for Children and Young People Act         15
      1998 (the Act) is required to be undertaken as soon as possible after                       16
      7 December 2010. As a ministerial review of the Act was commenced earlier this year         17
      (as announced by the Minister for Youth and notified on the Commission's website on         18
      15 April 2010), item [1] proposes to amend the Act to avoid the need for a further review   19
      to be undertaken at that later stage.                                                       20
      Item [2] makes a consequential amendment, requiring a report on the outcome of the          21
      review of the Act to be tabled in each House of Parliament by 8 March 2011 (rather than     22
      7 December 2011, as is currently the case).                                                 23

      Omit "General Manager of the Dairy Division of the Food Authority"                          26
      wherever occurring in section 7 (1) (d) and (2).                                            27

      The proposed amendment to the Dairy Industry Act 2000 (the Act) replaces an                 30
      obsolete reference to the General Manager of the Dairy Division of the NSW Food             31
      Authority with a reference to the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority (or delegate),   32
      as being a member of the New South Wales Dairy Industry Conference constituted              33

       Currently, an applicant for development consent for Crown development, a consent             20
       authority or an applicable regional panel may refer an application for Crown                 21
       development to the Minister in various circumstances. Item [3] of the proposed               22
       amendments to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the Act)                   23
       corrects an oversight in this referral process by allowing the Minister to give directions   24
       concerning the determination of the application, when a referral is made to the Minister     25
       by an applicant (and not only when a referral is made to the Minister by a consent           26
       authority or applicable regional panel, as is currently the case).                           27
       Item [1] makes it clear that an application for development consent for Crown                28
       development must be referred to an applicable regional panel for determination before        29
       it may be referred to the Minister to make appropriate directions under the Act.             30
       Item [2] allows a consent authority or an applicable regional panel to refer an              31
       application for Crown development under the Act during the period prescribed by the          32
       regulations for determining such an application (rather than only if it fails to determine   33
       an application within that period, as is currently the case).                                34
       A section of the Act dealing with Crown building and demolition work currently defines       35
       Crown by cross-reference to an interpretation provision that appears elsewhere in the        36

       interpretation provision for the purposes of the part of the Act in which the provision      38
       occurs, to be made for the purposes of the section.                                          39

       Since 2007, applications under the Mental Health Act 2007 (the Act) for community             4
       treatment orders (which set out the terms under which a person must accept                    5
       medication, therapy, rehabilitation and other services while living in the community)         6
       may be made about persons who are not in a mental health facility (in addition to             7
       persons who are detained in or patients in a mental health facility). Item [1] of the         8
       proposed amendments to the Act extends a provision that provides that the Mental              9
       Health Review Tribunal is not bound by the rules of evidence in determining matters in       10
       relation to such orders about persons who are detained in or patients in a mental health     11
       facility, to its determination of matters in relation to such orders about persons who are   12

       at which a mental health inquiry under the Act must be held, so that it is consistent with   15
       the time provided for in the relevant provision of the Act. (The Act requires the            16

       certain offices, including (due to recent amendments) the office of Information              25

       related provisions of the Act that require the Joint Committee to take evidence relating     27
       to such proposed appointments in private and that protect its deliberations from being       28

      requirements that apply to statutory bodies and Departments under Divisions 3 and 4A,        27

       The proposed amendment to the Public Reserves Management Fund Act 1987 (the                   8

       a public reserve who has power to grant the mortgage, to secure a loan made to the           10
       trustee under the Act for the cost of maintenance, improvement or development of the         11

       (among other things) the particulars of the date of birth of any proprietor of the estate    21
       or interest concerned whom the Registrar-General knows to be a minor. To reduce the          22

       The Retirement Villages Act 1999 (the Act) currently provides for the process by which       31
       a retirement village operator must seek to obtain the consent of village residents to the    32
       proposed annual budget for the village, and by cross-reference requires that process         33
       to be complied with in relation to an operator's obtaining of residents' consent to the      34
       appointment of an auditor to audit the village accounts.                                     35
       The proposed amendment to the Act makes it clear that a recently inserted provision          36
       of the Act that deems village residents to have consented to the proposed annual             37
       budget in certain circumstances does not form part of the consent process that applies       38
       to the obtaining of residents' consent to the appointment of an auditor.                     39

             (2)     This section does not apply to a statutory rule containing matters          21

       Items [2]-[4] of the proposed amendments to the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989 (the        16
       Act) have the effect of keeping the Motor Vehicle Repairs Regulation 1999, the Public        17
       Health (Microbial Control) Regulation 2000, the Public Health (Skin Penetration)             18
       Regulation 2000, the Public Health (Swimming Pools and Spa Pools) Regulation 2000            19
       and the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 1999 in force for          20
       a further period of one year after the date on which they would otherwise be repealed        21
       by the Act. However, any of the Regulations may be sooner repealed by other                  22
       legislation.                                                                                 23
       This is necessary as the Regulations have each been postponed on 5 occasions, and            24
       are now due to be repealed by the Act on 1 September 2010. However, amendments               25
       to the Motor Vehicle Repairs Act 1980 that may impact on the Motor Vehicle Repairs           26
       Regulation 1999 are proposed for later this year. The Public Health (Microbial Control)      27
       Regulation 2000, the Public Health (Skin Penetration) Regulation 2000 and the Public         28
       Health (Swimming Pools and Spa Pools) Regulation 2000 are all made under the                 29
       Public Health Act 1991, the repeal of which is proposed by the Public Health Bill 2010       30
       (released for public comment in February 2010). It is also proposed that the Road            31
       Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 1999 be consolidated with               32
       other legislation in 2011 as part of a larger consolidation of road transport legislation.   33
       Item [5] ensures that statutory rules (other than those in force on 1 July 2010) that        34
       contain only matters of a savings or transitional nature will no longer be excluded          35
       instruments under the Act and will instead be automatically repealed after 5 years in        36
       the same way as other statutory rules. Item [1] makes a consequential amendment to           37
       preserve the status of such statutory rules, as those to which certain guidelines in the     38
       Act concerning the preparation of statutory rules do not apply.                              39

      Item [1] of the proposed amendments to the Sydney Opera House Trust Act 1961 (the             9
      Act) corrects a reference to an instrument that may be made under the Act.                   10
      Item [2] replaces a provision concerning the making of by-laws under the Act with its        11
      modern (and more succinct) equivalent. The new provision removes the need for the            12
      Sydney Opera House Trust to seal every by-law it makes, with its common seal.                13

      The proposed amendment updates references to the Compensation Court (as being                25
      the relevant court in which to commence proceedings to recover permanent loss                26
      compensation) in a superseded provision of the Workers Compensation Act 1987 that            27
      continues to apply in respect of coal miners. The jurisdiction of the Compensation Court     28
      to hear such matters was conferred on the District Court on the abolition of the             29
      Compensation Court on 1 January 2004. The references are taken to have been                  30
      updated from that date but do not affect any court judgment or order made before the         31
      commencement of the subschedule to this Act that inserts the amendment.                      32
