Problem being addressed
If the instrument is not remade, it would negatively impact the management of broadcasting services from the relevant site (a parcel of land in Perth).
Proposal
To remake the sunsetting National Transmission Network (Declared Successor) Declaration no. 1 of 2012 as a notifiable instrument, with no other substantive changes. This notifiable instrument would continue to declare the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) as successor of the Commonwealth agencies that formerly owned the national transmission network asset. As a result, the WAPC would continue to be subject to a modified regulatory framework that safeguards important broadcasting protected activities (in particular, access to transmission services and facilities).
