Abstract These Regulations, consisting of 87 sections divided into eight Parts and completed by two Schedules, regulate the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety. The purpose of these Regulations would be to remake and improve the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Regulations 1999 (the ARPANS Regulations) which are due to sunset on 1 April 2019. No change to the substantive meaning or operation of the provisions of the ARPANS Regulations are being proposed, however, various changes would be made to: (1) remake the instrument in accordance with current Office of Parliamentary Counsel drafting principles; (2) make language and formatting changes to reflect contextual changes and align with current drafting practices, such as referring to ‘sections’ rather than ‘regulations’ (3) repeal redundant provisions, such as those that relate to dates which have passed and now have no effect; (4) renumber the Regulations; and (5) improve clarity and readability.
