Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts(1) The Minister may, in writing, exempt a person from the requirement for a licence in relation to a utility service.
Note Power given under an Act to make a statutory instrument includes power to make different provision for different categories, eg different classes of people or services (see Legislation Act, s 48).
(2) An exemption is subject to compliance with any condition stated in the instrument of exemption.
(3) A exemption is a disallowable instrument.
Note 1 Large institutions, such as shopping centres, caravan parks, universities, retirement villages, apartment buildings or office blocks, may have their own facilities and network for the distribution and supply of electricity to tenants, and the distribution and supply may be regulated by the business arrangements between the institutions' managers and tenants. In some of these cases, the usual licence conditions concerning distribution and supply of electricity to the public may be inappropriate, and hence could be subject to an exemption.
Note 2 The conditions on an exemption may, for example, require compliance with certain requirements under the Act in relation to safety and technical matters.
Note 3 A disallowable instrument must be notified, and presented to the Legislative Assembly, under the Legislation Act.
