Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2018-12-05.
This bill would update Australia's offshore petroleum and gas storage law so that references to regulations stay valid when those regulations expire and are remade.
It would remove specific regulation titles from the Act and let future regulations instead prescribe which regulation titles or provisions apply.
The change covers provisions related to monitoring, investigation and polluter pays obligations under the Regulatory Powers (Standard Provisions) Act 2014.
- Remove fixed references to regulation titles from the OPGGS Act.
- Allow regulation titles or provisions to be set by future regulations under the same Act.
- Prevent the Act from needing amendment each time regulations sunset and are remade.
Entities subject to monitoring, investigation and financial assurance obligations under the offshore petroleum and greenhouse gas storage regime.
