HERITAGE OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA ACT 1990 - SECT 38

38 .         Ministerial Order, as to written laws affecting the conservation of a registered place

        (1)         Where any aspect of measures proposed in relation to the conservation of a registered place is prohibited or impeded by, or by reason of the operation of, a written law, the Minister on the recommendation of the Council may, by Order published in the Gazette , declare that — 

            (a)         that written law, or specified provisions of that written law; or

            (b)         any Code of practice, standard, or other legislative requirement arising from the operation of, or any method of implementation of, that written law,

                shall not apply to, or have effect in relation to that place or to any land which is for the purposes of this Act associated with that place, or shall apply or have effect subject to specified amendments, in such circumstances or subject to such conditions, if any, as are specified, and the written law in respect of that place or such land shall be thereupon deemed to have been amended and effect shall be given to the Order according to its tenor.

        (2)         In subsection (1), specified means specified in the Order.

        (3)         Where the Council is of the opinion — 

            (a)         that the measures proposed as an incentive to, or as needed to effect, the proposed conservation of a place constitute a workable arrangement; and

            (b)         that the conservation of that place pursuant to those measures and the making of an Order to give effect to legislative amendments needed to implement those measures is so necessary as to warrant it, notwithstanding that the interests of persons may be affected in a way that is not acceptable to those persons,

                the Council may recommend to the Minister that an Order be made under subsection (1) accordingly, but shall not do so otherwise.

        (4)         An Order under subsection (1) shall not be made unless — 

            (a)         where a Minister of the Crown, other than the Minister administering this Act, is responsible for the administration of a written law to which the proposed Order applies, the Minister has obtained the prior concurrence in writing of that other Minister of the Crown or a determination has been made under section 12; and

            (b)         the Minister is satisfied that, after consultations by the Council with public authorities and persons likely to be affected, due consideration has been given to the public interest, health and safety.

        (5)         Subject to section 39, an Order made under this section takes effect — 

            (a)         on the day of publication in the Gazette ; or

            (b)         where another day is provided for in the Order, on that day.

        (6)         An Order made under this section may be amended or revoked by another Order so made.
