AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

INTERPRETATION ORDINANCE 1967

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 48 of 1967

	Under the Interpretation Ordinance 1937‑1959 of the Australian Capital Territory, most of the provisions of the Commonwealth Acts Interpretation Act 1901‑1937, as amended from time to time, apply to Ordinances as if an Ordinance were an Act.

	The new Interpretation Ordinance sets out in full the interpretation provisions which are to apply to Ordinances and extends those provisions to the interpretation of Acts of the State of New South Wales that still apply in the Territory.
