Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

In this part of the law, some words have special meanings. You need to know what these words mean to understand the law. The law explains what these words mean. When the law talks about "core functions", it means things like appointing a motor vehicle inspector under section 87T, issuing a certificate of self-containment for a motor vehicle under section 87U, and making an entry in the register of self-contained motor vehicles under sections 87ZB and 87ZD. The law also explains what "enforcement officer", "freedom camp", "motor vehicle inspection", "motor vehicle inspector", "Registrar of Motor Vehicles", and "registration plate" mean. You can find the meaning of "enforcement officer" and "freedom camp" in the Freedom Camping Act 2011 and the meaning of "Registrar of Motor Vehicles" and "registration plate" in the Land Transport Act 1998. A "motor vehicle inspection" is when someone checks a motor vehicle to see if it meets the requirements for self-containment. A "motor vehicle inspector" is someone appointed to do these inspections under section 87T.
