3     Legislation history

This Act was originally a Commonwealth Act—the University of Canberra Act 1989 No 179 (Cwlth).

The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth), s 34 (2) converted some Commonwealth Acts in force in the ACT into ACT enactments. This allowed the ACT Legislative Assembly to amend and repeal the laws. This Act was converted into an ACT enactment on 30 November 1997 when the Education Legislation Amendment Act 1997 No 66 (Cwlth), s 14 added this Act to the list of former Commonwealth Acts that were converted into ACT enactments.

After 11 May 1989 and before 10 November 1999, Acts commenced on their notification day unless otherwise stated (see Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth) s 25).

Editorial changes

The Legislation Act 2001, part 11.3 authorises the Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial amendments and other changes of a formal nature when preparing a law for republication.

The changes are made if the Parliamentary Counsel considers they are desirable to bring the law into line, or more closely into line, with current legislative drafting practice.
