Title read by Clerk.
MR CORBELL (Molonglo—Attorney-General, Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for Workplace Safety and Industrial Relations and Minister for the Environment and Sustainable Development) (10.07): I move:
That this bill be agreed to in principle.
The Justice and Community Safety Legislation Amendment Bill 2013 amends a range of laws that concern the Justice and Community Safety portfolio. This bill will improve the effectiveness of the ACT statute book, and the amendments it contains are minor and uncontroversial.
The bill makes necessary technical and consequential amendments to the Retirement Villages Act 2012 and other laws which are important for the commencement of the Retirement Villages Act.
In addition to the changes proposed in this piece of legislation, government is working closely with stakeholders to ensure that any regulations, including those of a transitional or savings nature, are finalised so that the scheme can commence as smoothly as possible.
This bill also amends a number of acts in relation to the operation of the Retirement Villages Act, including the Civil Law (Property) Act 2006, Civil Law (Sale of Residential Property) Act 2003, Fair Trading (Australian Consumer Law) Act 1992, Land Titles Act 1925, and Residential Tenancies Act 1997.
