Disallowable instrument DI2006–249
Made under the 
Road Transport (Offences) Regulation 2005, subsection 22(1)(e) Meaning of holiday period.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Road Transport (Offences) Regulation 2005, subsection 22(1)(e), provides for the Minister to declare a period to be a holiday period.  The declaration, by virtue of subsection 22(4), is a disallowable instrument for the purposes of section 9 of the Legislation Act 2001.

This instrument specifies the period from the first moment of Friday 
22 December 2006 to the last moment of Monday 1 January 2007 (inclusive) to be a holiday period.  Accordingly, for this period, additional demerit points, as specified in subsection 21(2) of the Regulation, will apply.

The declaration will link the Christmas holiday period for December 2006 with the New Year holiday period for January 2007, which will be consistent with the double demerit period in NSW.

This declaration is a disallowable instrument, and must be presented to the Legislative Assembly within 6 sitting days after its notification in pursuance of section 64 of the Legislation Act 2001.
