Land transport secondary legislation - Transport instruments

168G: Agency, Director, or Secretary may make transport instruments

You could also call this:

“Transport bosses can make special transportation rules”

The Agency, Director, or Secretary can create transport instruments for specific purposes. These are important documents related to transportation.

You should know that the Agency can’t give the power to make, change, or cancel these transport instruments to anyone except the Director or the Secretary.

It’s also important to understand that the Secretary and the Director aren’t allowed to give this power to anyone else. They have to do it themselves.

This means that only a few specific people have the authority to create or change these important transport documents.
