Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You need to know when the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006 started. Some parts of the Act started the day after it was agreed to by the Royal assent. These parts include Section 1, this section, and sections 28 to 35, 142 to 145, and 172. The rest of the Act started on a date chosen by the Governor-General. The Governor-General can choose different dates for different parts of the Act. You can find more information about this in the Legislation Act 2019. An order made under this section is called secondary legislation. This means it has to follow certain rules when it is published. You can learn more about these rules in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
