Changes to Western Australia’s Dangerous Goods regulation

From 1 January 2014 a number of changes to how “dangerous goods” are regulated in Western Australia take effect, including repealing the Dangerous Good Safety (Goods in Ports) Regulations 2007 .

You can review the amendments in the update tabs when you navigate to the individual sections of the legislation. For example, if you go to regulation 239 of the Dangerous Goods Safety (Road and Rail Transport of Non-Explosives) Regulations 2007 and click on the update tab, you will see a redlined explanation of the amendment. Unless otherwise noted, information under the legislation tab is current legislation.

Also note, that new parts of the legislation (to take effect from 1 January) are set out in the “tree view” on the right hand side of the page. Relevant parts are followed by the notation “(this section takes effect from 1 January 2013)”.
