On 12 March 2021, the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications remade with only minor amendments the Telecommunications Regulations 2001, which was due to sunset on 1 April 2021. The newly remade Telecommunications Regulations 2021 will now sunset on 1 April 2031.
Consistent with Government’s Regulation Impact Statement requirements for sunsetting instruments, the Department has, after consultation with stakeholders, assessed the instrument as operating effectively and efficiently. Therefore, a Regulation Impact Statement is not required for remaking this instrument.
