Energy and Resources Point-in-Time Service Updates

Thursday 17 July 2014 @ 12.47 p.m.

The Energy and Resources Point-in-Time Service has been updated with the latest amendments from the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2014 (No. 62 of 2014) (CTH) and the Statutes (Repeals and Minor Amendments) Act 2014 (No. 17 of 2014) (WA).

Act 62 of 2014 (CTH)

The Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2014 (Cth) amends approximately 250 Acts across the Commonwealth to support the implementation of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2014 (PGPA Act) and its related rules and instruments. 

The PGPA Act replaces the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (Cth) and the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (Cth) as the primary financial legislation of the Commonwealth from 1 July 2014. The enabling legislation of Commonwealth entities and companies include many references to and/or reliance on provisions in these Acts. As a result of the implementation of the PGPA Act this Act: 

  • replaces references to the repealed Acts with the equivalent provisions in the PGPA Act; 
  • simplifies enabling legislation where provisions of the PGPA Act cover a matter previously dealt with in enabling legislation; and 
  • amends enabling legislation to clarify which matters (and to what extent) are covered by the PGPA Act and which matters (and to what extent) are covered by the enabling legislation, such as in the case of planning and reporting, or disclosure of interest arrangements where an entity may have additional obligations over and above those imposed through the PGPA Act. 

Act 17 of 2014 (WA)

An Act to amend the statute law by repealing or amending various enactments with mainly minor modifications.

The amendments have been updated in the Point-in-Time Energy and Resources Service current to 17 July 2014. (NB: Subscription required).
