2 The amendment to s. 245(1) in the Public Sector Reform Act 2010 s. 89 is not included because the section it sought to amend was deleted by the Fish Resources Management Amendment Act 2009 s. 19.

3 The Fish Resources Management Amendment Act 2002 s. 8(2)-(4) read as follows:


(2) The arrangements of 15 April 1995 by which the Minister for Fisheries purported to lease from the Minister for Transport that portion of land known as “Aquaculture Park Area”, being a total area of 7.8152 hectares situated in the Broome Port area, for the purposes of establishing an aquaculture park are to be taken to be, and always to have been, as valid as they would have been if the amendments made to the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 by this Act were in effect at the time the arrangements were made.

(3) Any of the following arrangements that were in effect immediately before the commencement of this Act are to be taken to be, and always to have been, as valid as they would have been if the amendments made to the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 by this Act were in effect at the time the arrangements were made —

6 The Machinery of Government (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2006 Pt. 8 Div. 5 reads as follows:


Division 5 — Transitional provisions

242. References to the Executive Director

(1) After commencement, a reference in a written law that is, or is to be taken to be, to the Executive Director (as defined in the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 as in force before commencement) is to have effect as if it had been amended to be a reference to the CEO (as defined in the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 as in force after commencement).

(2) Subsection (1) does not apply if a contrary intention appears or the context otherwise requires.

(3) In this section —

commencement means the time at which section 232 comes into operation.


7 The requirement to appoint an Executive Director was removed from the Act and references to the Executive Director were replaced by references to the CEO, see the Machinery of Government (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2006 Pt. 8 Div. 3. Section 454 of that Act is a general transitional provision that applies to references to the Executive Director in written laws.
