2 The Consumer Credit (Western Australia) Code was
originally set out in the Appendix to the Consumer Credit (Western Australia)
Act 1996. It came into operation on 1 November 1996. On 9 July 2003 the
Appendix was repealed by the Consumer Credit (Western Australia) Amendment
Act 2003 s. 14.
Section 5(1) of the Consumer Credit (Western Australia)
Act 1996 applies the Consumer Credit Code set out in the Appendix to
the Consumer Credit (Queensland) Act 1994 (as in force on
9 July 2003) as a law of Western Australia.
It applies, as amended by Part 5 of the WA Act. The Code, as applied
and amended, may be cited as the Consumer Credit (Western Australia)
Code.
If the Consumer Credit Code of Queensland is amended, the Governor may, by
order under section 5(2) of the WA Act, amend the Consumer Credit
(Western Australia) Code.
