Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) The provisions of sections 302 to 312 (inclusive), section 314 and Division 3 do not apply in relation to a wreck:
(a) that is a historic shipwreck or historic relic within the meaning of a law of a State or of the Northern Territory that relates to shipwrecks or relics of historic significance; and
(b) in relation to which the provisions of that law apply.
(2) Where the provisions referred to in subsection (1) (in this subsection referred to as the relevant provisions ) cease to apply in relation to a wreck to which subsection (1) applies, subsection 7(2) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 has effect in respect of any previous application of the relevant provisions in relation to that wreck as if the relevant provisions had been repealed by an Act with effect from the date on which they so ceased to apply, but nothing in this subsection precludes the relevant provisions from again applying in relation to that wreck if it subsequently ceases to be a wreck to which subsection (1) applies.
