Application, saving or transitional provisions

AusLink (National Land Transport--Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2005 (No. 94, 2005)

Schedule 2

1  Definition of transition time

In this Schedule:

transition time means the commencement of this Schedule.

2  Determination of what approvals become approvals under the AusLink (National Land Transport) Act 2005

(1)        The Minister may, in writing, determine:

                     (a)  that specified approvals of projects or programs (each of which is a carried over approval) that are in force under subsection 26(3) of the Australian Land Transport Development Act 1988 immediately before the transition time are to be taken, after that time, to be approvals properly granted under the AusLink (National Land Transport) Act 2005; and

                     (b)  for each of those carried over approvals--whether the approval is to be taken to be an approval of an AusLink National Project, an AusLink Transport Development and Innovation Project or an AusLink Black Spot Project (within the meaning of the AusLink (National Land Transport) Act 2005).

(2)        The determination has effect accordingly.

(3)        The Minister may, in writing, vary the determination to correct an error.

(4)        The Minister cannot vary the determination except as permitted by subitem (3) and cannot revoke the determination.

(5)        For the purposes of the AusLink (National Land Transport) Act 2005, an amount paid under the Australian Land Transport Development Act 1988 before the transition time in respect of a project or program to which a carried over approval relates is to be counted towards the maximum funding amount that may be provided under the AusLink (National Land Transport) Act 2005 for the project or program.

(6)        The determination under subitem (1), or an instrument varying the determination, is a legislative instrument for the purposes of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003, but neither section 42 nor Part 6 of that Act applies to the instrument.

3  Appropriation

$1,371,489,000 is appropriated out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund in respect of the financial year ending on 30 June 2005, for the purpose of:

                     (a)  making payments under the AusLink (National Land Transport) Act 2005 during so much of that year as occurs after the transition time; and

                     (b)  making payments under the Australian Land Transport Development Act 1988 during so much of that year as occurs after the transition time.

4  Final charge rate determination

(1)        Despite the amendments made by Schedule 1 to this Act, section 10 of the Australian Land Transport Development Act 1988, as in force immediately before the transition time, continues to have effect after the transition time for the purpose of the making of a determination under that section in respect of the financial year ending on 30 June 2005.

(2)        A determination under section 10 of the Australian Land Transport Development Act 1988, as that section continues to have effect under subitem (1), has effect for the purposes of that Act as in force from 1 July 2004 to the transition time.
