Legislation update is an Index of Acts/Ordinances/Statutes - Australian Capital Territory

From 1911 until self-government in May 1989, the laws of the Australian Capital Territory were made by Acts of the federal Parliament or by Ordinances made by the Governor-General. From 1974-1986 these ordinances were passed after consultation with the House of Assembly and Legislative Assembly. From 1989 they were made by the ACT Legislative Assembly, and pre-1989 ordinances became known as acts. However, a few laws are still administered by the Commonwealth and these are still known as ordinances.
