AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

AMENDMENT OF THE A.C.T. (PUBLIC HEALTH) GENERAL SANITATION REGULATIONS

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No. 7 of 1955

	The amendment provides that a person shall not deposit any rubbish or organic refuse in the Cotter River catchment area otherwise than in approved receptacles.  The amendment will not, however, interfere with or restrict the grazing of animals in the area.

	The amendment is necessary in view of increased forestry activity in the catchment area and it will extend the control now exercised over the streams of the catchment area to the adjoining land.
