3	Legislation history
These regulations were originally a NSW regulation—the Dangerous Goods Regulation 1978 (NSW).
The Dangerous Goods Act 1975 (NSW) and the Dangerous Goods Regulation 1978 (NSW) were applied, in a modified form, as ACT laws by the Dangerous Goods Act 1984 (now repealed).
Under the Interpretation Act 1967 (repealed), s 65 all former NSW Acts in force in the ACT immediately before 10 November 1999 (including the Dangerous Goods Act 1975) became, for all purposes, laws made by the ACT Legislative Assembly.
The Dangerous Goods Regulation 1978 was renamed the Dangerous Goods Regulations 1978 by the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1999 No 66 (see sch 4).
Under the Dangerous Goods Act 1975, s 55 (now expired) the Dangerous Goods Regulations 1978 became, on 29 March 2001, for all purposes, regulations made under that Act. This completed the process of making the regulations fully into an ACT law.
Before 11 May 1989, ordinances commenced on their notification day unless otherwise stated (see Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910 (Cwlth), s 12).
