provided that where with the approval of the Board given on
the ground of exceptional circumstances a private means of
conveyance has been used by a member instead of an available public means of conveyance there shall be payable to the
member, instead of a mileage allowance, the amount of the
fare that would have been incurred for travel by the least expensive means of public conveyance serving the same journey.
The mileage allowance shall be computed in respect of the
total length of the shortest practicable route for the journey.

by the Minister for every night that the vehicle has to be kept

travelling:

to a mileage allowance the allowance shall be increased
at the rate of 1 cent a mile for each additional member
so travelling.

General
This is a reprint of the Fees and Travelling Allowances Regulations 1952. The reprint incorporates all the amendments to
the regulations as at 10 July 1967, as specified in the list of

Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that contain

Status of reprints
Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication
Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the
date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment
and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption
applies even though editorial changes authorised by section
17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have
been made in the reprint.
This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official
volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the principal enactment and its amendments are contained.

How reprints are prepared
A number of editorial conventions are followed in the preparation of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not
included in Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked

Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and
Regulations Publication Act 1989
Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989
authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set
out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent
permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is
consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes
that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted.
A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000.
Changes to legislative drafting style have also been made since
1997, and are ongoing. To the extent permitted by section 17C
of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legislation reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for
legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of
the reprint.
In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the authority of section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication
Act 1989 are set out below, and they have been applied, where
relevant, in the preparation of this reprint:
•
omission of unnecessary referential words (such as “of
this section” and “of this Act”)
•
typeface and type size (Times Roman, generally in 11.5
point)
•
layout of provisions, including:
•
indentation
•
position of section headings (eg, the number and
heading now appear above the section)
•
format of definitions (eg, the defined term now appears
in bold type, without quotation marks)
•
format of dates (eg, a date formerly expressed as “the
1st day of January 1999” is now expressed as “1 January
1999”)

word formerly appeared with an initial capital letter followed by small capital letters are
amended so that the heading appears in bold,
with only the first word (and any proper nouns)
appearing with an initial capital letter)
•
small capital letters in section and subsection references are now capital letters
schedules are renumbered (eg, Schedule 1 replaces First
Schedule), and all cross-references are changed accordingly
running heads (the information that appears at the top
of each page)

amendments, and schedules of repeals (eg, they are
rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than chronological).
