Amendment negatived.

MR STEEL (Murrumbidgee—Minister for City Services, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Recycling and Waste Reduction, Minister for Roads and Active Travel and Minister for Transport) (4.44): I move amendment No 1 on the pink paper circulated in my name [see schedule 4 at page 4173]. This amendment is technical in nature and omits note 2 under the commencement section of the act. Note 2 references section 79 of the Legislation Act, which states that if the sections that have a delayed effect have not commenced within six months, beginning on the act’s notification day, they automatically commence on the first day after that period. This would not allow enough time for a hoarding code of practice as outlined in section 28 of the bill to be developed.

Amendment agreed to.

MR STEEL (Murrumbidgee—Minister for City Services, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Recycling and Waste Reduction, Minister for Roads and Active Travel and Minister for Transport) (4.44): I move amendment No 2 on the pink paper circulated in my name [see schedule 4 at page 4174]. This amendment means that if the sections that have a delayed effect, which are all related to hoarding, have not commenced within 12 months, beginning on the act’s notification day, they automatically commence on the first day after that period. This allows enough time for a hoarding code of practice, as outlined in section 28, to be developed. This means that these provisions must take effect within 12 months to ensure that Canberra’s most serious hoarding cases can be addressed as soon as possible.

Amendment agreed to.
