AMENDMENT OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH (DAIRY) REGULATIONS

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 8 of 1964

	Regulation 82 (1) of the Public Health (Dairy) Regulations contains provisions restricting the hours during which milk and cream may be delivered to householders in the A.C.T.  The purpose of this provision is to avoid deterioration in the quality of the milk or cream between the time of delivery by the milk vendor and the time at which the milk or cream is collected by the householder.

2.	Following a re-examination of this matter, it has been decided that an extension of these delivery hours to 8 p.m. – 7.30 a.m., throughout the year, would not involve any increase in the risk of deterioration in quality.

3.	The purpose of this amendment is to extend the delivery hours accordingly.
