The Australian Dangerous Goods Code sets out the requirements for transporting dangerous goods by road or rail. The NTC published the 7th edition of the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG 7) in 2007. Subsequently, the legislation has been implemented by Australian States and Territories.
The NTC is undertaking a review of the implementation of ADG 7, and is seeking feedback from organisations and individuals regarding:
· Whether you or your organisation has been impacted by inconsistencies in implementation and administration of ADG 7 in state and territory law ( please provide as much detail as possible about each inconsistency and the problems it has caused, or may cause.)
· Any concerns that you or your organisation may have regarding the regulatory outcomes produced by the implementation of ADG 7, or the legislation by which ADG 7 was implemented.
Submissions close on 27 November 2010 and can be submitted to Mr Ray Hassall, NTC Manager Legal, via email: rhassall@ntc.gov.auor by post to:
National Transport Commission
Level 15/628 Bourke Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
