Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts

NATURE CONSERVATION ACT 1980 - SECT 2

The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.

Note 1     The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain words and expressions used in this Act, and includes references ( signpost definitions ) to other words and expressions defined elsewhere in this Act or in other legislation.

    For example, the signpost definition ‘ motor vehicle —see the Road Transport (General) Act 1999 , dictionary.' means that the expression ‘motor vehicle' is defined in the dictionary to that Act and the definition applies to this Act.

Note 2     A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act 2001, s 155 and s 156).
