Land transport secondary legislation

152A: Governor-General may make ordinary rules

You could also call this:

"The Governor-General can create rules for land transport with the Minister's advice."

Illustration for Land Transport Act 1998

The Governor-General can make rules for land transport. You need to know the Minister recommends these rules. The Minister looks at certain criteria before making a recommendation. The Minister must consider the criteria in section 164(2) before recommending a rule. Some parts of the law do not apply to these rules, like section 161(1)(a) and (2). The Minister can change or cancel these rules. An order under this section is secondary legislation, which means it has to be published, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. It is not drafted by the PCO under section 67(d)(i) of that Act.
