Abstract

This Act provides for the discipline of public works. Part IA establishes and regulatees functions and powers of the Western Australian Building Management Authority. Part II concerns authorizing public works and clarifies the relation with Division 4 of Part 9 of the Land Administration Act 1997 (dealing with the entry on land required for a public work) and Part 10 (dealing with compensation) in relation to Ministerial authorization of public work under this Part. Moreover the Part establishes that the Governor, by Order in Council, may authorise the Minister to undertake, construct, or provide any public work except as to railways, in which case the authorisation may be given to the Public Transport Authority. Part IV recognizes that powers of entry on land can be also for survey purposes.
