EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 33(2) of the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 2017 (the regulation) permits the road transport authority to declare a person or to be a parking authority, which may establish and operate a ticket parking scheme for any length of road or area under its control in accordance with the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Guidelines 2002. Section 33(3) of the regulation provides that such a declaration is a disallowable instrument.

The Director-General of ACT Health has applied to the road transport authority to be a parking authority for the area of block 10 section 3 in the division of Bruce. This is in addition to their parking authority at blocks 9 and 10 section 53 and block 1 section 58 (The Canberra Hospital) in the division of Garran; and block 4 section 1 (Brian Hennessey House) in the division of Bruce, as per Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Parking Authority Declaration 2006 (No 1) (DI2006-77). 

This instrument effects the declaration by the road transport authority of the Chief Executive of ACT Health as a parking authority for the identified area and will revoke Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Parking Authority Declaration 2006 (No 1).
