Question Directed to the: Parliamentary Secretary representing the Attorney General
Parliament: 41 Session: 1


Question

I refer to the State Administrative Tribunal Amendment Regulations 2022, and I ask:
(a) what was the catalyst for bringing about these amendments to the regulations;
(b) who was consulted prior to these amendment regulations being finalised;
(c) did any person consulted raise any concerns;
(d) if yes to (c), what were these concerns;
(e) have the finalised amendment regulations addressed these concerns; and
(f) if no to (e), why not?

Answered on 11 May 2022

(a)  This amendment was a consequential amendment managed by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety as the lead agency. The Department of Justice is required to amend the State Administrative Tribunal Amendment Regulations 2004 when Fair Trading (Retirement Villages Interim Code) Regulations (No.2) 2021 expire. Schedule 6 of the State Administrative Tribunal Regulations 2004 outlines provisions under which proceedings commence. Due to the expiration of the interim code on the 30 March 2022, Schedule 6 required references to the proposed new code be amended.

(b)  As these were consequential amendments, no consultation was undertaken.

(c) - (f) N/A.
