Making of the Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Regulations 2022
7th June 2022
The Governor in Council on 7 June 2022 has made the Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Regulations 2022 (Explosives Regulations). These new regulations commence on Saturday 18 June 2022.
The Explosives Regulations, made under the Dangerous Goods Act 1985, will help ensure the safety of people and property, and reduce hazards associated with the manufacture, transport, storage, sale, use, disposal and import of explosives. They also prohibit the misuse of explosives, provide for the management of risks arising out of security concerns associated with explosives, and for the safe location of vessels containing explosives while in port.
The Explosives Regulations will replace the Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Interim Regulations 2021, which expire on 19 June 2022.
A copy of the Explosives Regulations is available on the Victorian Legislation and Parliamentary Documents website here.
