[2] Section 19 (1) (d)
Omit the paragraph. Insert instead:(d) obtain financial accommodation (including, without limitation, by the borrowing or raising of money) and do all things necessary or convenient to be done in connection with obtaining financial accommodation,
[3] Section 21 Powers of Council relating to property
Insert “and may dispose of or otherwise deal with any other property of the University” after “University” in section 21 (2).
[4] Schedule 4 Savings and transitional provisions
Insert after clause 51:Part 9 Provision consequent on enactment of Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 201752 Financial accommodation and risk managementAn amendment made to this Act by the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2017 does not affect the validity of any financial accommodation made by or on behalf of the University, any transaction or arrangement entered into or participated in to manage a financial risk, or any disposal or other dealing with property of the University, before the commencement of the amendment.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendments more clearly delineate the ambit of provisions of the Charles Sturt University Act 1989 (the Act) that confer powers on the Council of the University (the Council) with respect to the control and management of the financial affairs of the University and the acquisition and management of property. The powers concerned are exercisable by the Council subject to the duties imposed on the Council under Schedule 3 to the Act. Similar amendments are being made to university Acts in general.
Item [1] makes it clear that the existing power of the Council to oversee risk management and risk assessment across the University includes the power to effect financial adjustments for the management of financial risks.
Item [2] makes it clear that the Council may obtain any form of financial accommodation and do all things necessary or convenient to be done in connection with obtaining any financial accommodation.
Item [3] puts beyond doubt that the Council may dispose of personal property of the University by removing any implication from the specific reference to land in section 21 (2) of the Act that the Council may not (despite the broad powers conferred by section 21 (1) of the Act to dispose of any property in the name and on behalf of the University) dispose of personal property of the University.
Item [4] is a savings provision consequent on the proposed amendments.
[1] Section 142 Scheme Administrator may require surrender of certificates
Omit the Note to section 142 (3).
[2] Section 143 Creation of certificate must be registered

Omit “by the Chairperson of the Tribunal at any meeting of the Tribunal, acting as Scheme Regulator or Scheme Administrator,” from section 156 (3) (b).Insert instead “at any meeting of the Tribunal”.
Explanatory note
Item [1] of the proposed amendments omits a note relating to orders requiring the surrender of energy savings certificates.
Item [2] provides that the Scheme Administrator for the energy savings scheme established by the Electricity Supply Act 1995 (rather than the Scheme Regulator, as is currently the case) is responsible for publishing notice of the fees payable to the Scheme Administrator for applications for registration of the creation of an energy savings certificate.
Item [3] makes it clear that a requirement to answer a question of the Chairperson of the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal at any meeting of the Tribunal (when acting as Scheme Regulator or Scheme Administrator) extends to questions of any other member of the Tribunal.
[1] Schedule 1 Energy services corporations
Omit “TransGrid” from Part 1A.
[2] Schedule 1, Part 2
Omit “Ausgrid”.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendments remove redundant references to corporations constituted as energy services corporations by the Energy Services Corporations Act 1995. The corporations have ceased to be energy services corporations under that Act as a consequence of corporate conversion directions given by the Treasurer under the Electricity Network Assets (Authorised Transactions) Act 2015 (in respect of TransGrid on 16 December 2015 and Ausgrid on 1 December 2016).
Section 94F Conditions requiring land or contributions for affordable housing
Omit section 94F (6). Insert instead:(6) A condition is not to be imposed under this section in relation to development that is within a special contributions area (within the meaning of Division 6) if a determination under section 94EE that applies to the area identifies affordable housing as a class of infrastructure for which development contributions may be required in accordance with the determination.
Explanatory note
Currently, local affordable housing contributions under environmental planning instruments cannot be imposed in connection with proposed development on land that is within a special contributions area. The proposed amendment ensures that this exclusion of local contributions only applies if the Minister has made a determination in relation to that area that identifies affordable housing as a class of infrastructure for which special infrastructure contributions determined by the Minister may be required.
[1] Section 162 Permit area to be maintained in tidy condition
Insert after section 162 (2):(2A) The Minister may, either on the application of the permit holder concerned or on the Minister’s own initiative, vary or revoke a notice under subsection (2) by serving the variation or revocation, in writing, on the permit holder concerned.
[2] Section 162 (3) and (4)
Omit “such a notice” wherever occurring. Insert instead “a notice under this section”.
[3] Section 171 Improvements on an expired lease
Omit section 171 (3). Insert instead:(3) The Minister may, within 1 year after the termination of a lease, require the former lessee to remove any such improvements within the period notified in writing to the former lessee.(3A) The Minister may, either on the application of the former lessee or on the Minister’s own initiative, vary or revoke a notice under subsection (3) by serving the variation or revocation, in writing, on the former lessee.(3B) A former lessee who, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with a notice under this section is guilty of an offence.Maximum penalty: 100 penalty units.
[4] Section 171 (4)
Omit “under subsection (3)”. Insert instead “under this section”.

Item [3] enables the Minister to vary or revoke a notice requiring the former lessee of an aquaculture lease to remove certain improvements from the area to which the lease applied. The Minister is required to give notice in writing of any such variation or revocation to the former lessee. Item [4] makes a consequential amendment.
[1] Section 9 Delegation
Omit “with the approval of the Minister and” from section 9 (1).
[2] Section 9 (2)
Omit “Minister or the”.
Explanatory note
Item [1] of the proposed amendments removes the requirement for Ministerial approval for the delegation of functions of the Commissioner for Fair Trading under the Funeral Funds Act 1979 (in line with the Commissioner’s powers of delegation under other Acts in the portfolio of the Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation). Item [2] makes a consequential amendment to remove the Minister’s power to revoke a delegation of those functions.
Schedule 1 Modification of Health Practitioner Regulation National Law
Omit “appointed by the Minister” from clause 2 of Schedule 5E in Schedule 1 [25].Insert instead “appointed by the Council”.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment modifies the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (in its application as a law of New South Wales) to provide that the Chairperson of an Assessment Committee that deals with complaints about registered health practitioners in a health profession is to be appointed by the health professional Council for that health profession (rather than by the Minister for Health, as is currently the case). The amendment will make the provision dealing with the appointment of the Chairperson consistent with a provision dealing with the appointment of members of an Assessment Committee.
Section 3 Definitions
Omit paragraph (e) (iii) of the definition of law enforcement agency in section 3 (1).Insert instead:(iii) the Commonwealth Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment updates a reference to the former Australian Customs Service to enable regulations under the Law Enforcement (Controlled Operations) Act 1997 to prescribe the Commonwealth Department of Immigration and Border Protection as a law enforcement agency for the purposes of that Act. In 2009, the Australian Customs Service was renamed as the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service, and in 2015 it was integrated with the Commonwealth Department of Immigration and Border Protection. The functions formerly exercised by officers of the Australian Customs Service are now exercised by officers of that Department.

Insert after section 16 (1B) (e):(e1) without limiting paragraph (e), to enter into or participate in arrangements or transactions, or combinations of arrangements or transactions, to effect financial adjustments for the management of financial risks, and

[4] Schedule 3 Savings and transitional provisions
Insert after clause 16:17 Financial accommodation and risk managementAn amendment made to this Act by the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2017 does not affect the validity of any financial accommodation made by or on behalf of the University, any transaction or arrangement entered into or participated in to manage a financial risk, or any disposal or other dealing with property of the University, before the commencement of the amendment.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendments more clearly delineate the ambit of provisions of the Macquarie University Act 1989 that confer powers on the Council of the University with respect to the control and management of the financial affairs of the University and the acquisition and management of property. Similar amendments are being made to university Acts in general.
Each of the above amendments is explained in the explanatory note to Schedule 1.4 (Charles Sturt University Act 1989 No 76) to this Act.
[1] Section 187 Delegation
Omit section 187 (a). Insert instead:(a) any person employed in the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation, or

Explanatory note
Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes a change consequent on a recent amendment to the Motor Dealers and Repairers Act 2013, which transferred functions under that Act from the Secretary of the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation to the Commissioner for Fair Trading.

Omit paragraph (e).
Commencement

Explanatory note
Item [2] of the proposed amendments dissolves the Lotteries Assets Ministerial Holding Corporation, which has not exercised any functions under the NSW Lotteries (Authorised Transaction) Act 2009 since it was established in connection with the transfer of the business of the New South Wales Lotteries Corporation to the private sector. Items [1], [3] and [4] make consequential amendments.
Section 39A
Insert after section 39:39A DelegationThe Secretary may delegate the exercise of any function of the Secretary under this Act (other than this power of delegation) to:(a) any person employed in the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation, or(b) any person, or any class of persons, authorised for the purposes of this section by the regulations.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment will provide for a power to delegate the functions of the Commissioner for Fair Trading under the Pawnbrokers and Second-hand Dealers Act 1996. Currently, the Commissioner may delegate those functions only under a general power of delegation contained in section 8 of the Fair Trading Act 1987.
Section 34A Environment Protection Authority Fund
Omit “1990, and” from section 34A (3) (b) (vi). Insert instead:1990,(vii) the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2001, and
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment provides that application and approval fees payable to the Environment Protection Authority in connection with the container deposit scheme established by the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2001 are to be paid into the Environment Protection Authority Fund. This arrangement is consistent with the allocation to that Fund of fees payable under other legislation administered by the Authority.

Explanatory note
The proposed amendments more clearly delineate the ambit of provisions of the Southern Cross University Act 1993 that confer powers on the Council of the University with respect to the control and management of the financial affairs of the University and the acquisition and management of property. Similar amendments are being made to university Acts in general.
Each of the above amendments is explained in the explanatory note to Schedule 1.4 (Charles Sturt University Act 1989 No 76) to this Act. Item [3] is an additional amendment, which corrects a list.
Schedule 5 Statutory SOCs
Omit “Ausgrid”, “Superannuation Administration Corporation” and “TransGrid”.
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment removes redundant references to statutory State owned corporations.

The directions were given in respect of TransGrid on 16 December 2015, Ausgrid on 1 December 2016 and Superannuation Administration Corporation on 1 December 2016.
Section 115 Readjustment of strata scheme for purposes of resumption
Insert “amending the existing schedule of unit entitlement or” before “substituting” in section 115 (4) (a).
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment makes it clear that the power of the Supreme Court to order the substitution of a strata scheme’s unit of entitlement in connection with the compulsory acquisition of land forming part of a strata scheme extends to an order for the amendment of the unit of entitlement.
Schedule 5 Further postponement of repeal of certain statutory rules
Insert after clause 6:7 Postponement of repeal of other statutory rules due for repeal in 2017The following statutory rules remain in force until 1 September 2018, unless sooner repealed:
Explanatory note
The proposed amendment keeps a number of statutory rules in force for a further period of 1 year after the date on which they would otherwise be repealed by the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989. However, any of the statutory rules may be repealed sooner by other legislation.
The proposed amendment is necessary as the statutory rules have each been postponed on at least 5 occasions and are due to be repealed by the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989 on 1 September 2017.
Each of the statutory rules continues to be required and the repeal of each of the statutory rules is to be further postponed until 1 September 2018 for the following reasons:
(a) The statutory review of the Building Professionals Act 2005 has proposed new legislation to replace that Act with a new Act. It is therefore proposed to postpone the repeal of the Building Professionals Regulation 2007 pending the enactment of that new legislation.
(b) The Community Land Development Act 1989 and the Community Land Management Act 1989 are currently under review. It is considered that it would be premature to remake the Community Land Development Regulation 2007 and the Community Land Management Regulation 2007 at this time.
(c) The Crown Land Management Act 2016 will, on commencement, repeal the Crown Lands (Continued Tenures) Regulation 2006, the Crown Lands (General Reserves) By-law 2006, the Crown Lands Regulation 2006, the Hay Irrigation Regulation 2007 and the Wentworth Irrigation Regulation 2007 and the principal Acts under which they are made. It is therefore proposed to postpone the repeal of these regulations and the by-law pending the commencement of those repeals.
(d) The Commons Management Act 1989 and the Commons Management Regulation 2006 are to be reviewed in light of the enactment of the new legal regime enacted under the Crown Land Management Act 2016. It is therefore proposed to postpone the repeal of the Commons Management Regulation 2006 pending the conclusion of that review.
(e) The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and its related legislation is under ongoing review. It is considered that it would be premature to remake the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 until the results of the review are clear.
(f) The Local Government Act 1993 is currently under comprehensive review. It is considered that it would be premature to remake the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 before the conclusion of that review.
(g) A review is being undertaken to determine whether the Local Government (Manufactured Home Estates, Caravan Parks, Camping Grounds and Moveable Dwellings) Regulation 2005 should be remade or replaced and whether to align it with the outcome of the current review of the Local Government Act 1993. It is considered that it would be premature to remake the Regulation before the conclusion of that review.
