*Subject:* [WAIN] Consultation regarding draft Legal Deposit Regulations
2013****

** **

The Legal Deposit Act was passed in May 2012, ensuring that Western
Australia once again has this important provision to ensure the ongoing
preservation of the State’s cultural heritage.  While the Act has been
passed, most of the Act’s provisions do not come into force until the
relevant regulations are developed and approved.****

** **

Draft regulations which prescribe the operation of Part 2 of the Act –
Deposit of public documents with the State Librarian – have now been
developed. “Public documents” includes printed material such as books,
magazines, maps, pamphlets, and sheet music, but also music recordings,
films, and electronic data published in a physical form such as a CD, DVD
or other storage device.****

** **

The deposit of electronic online publications (“WA Internet Documents” in
the Act) is not addressed in these regulations, and will be the subject of
a separate consultation process at a later date.****

** **

The State Library is currently seeking feedback on the draft regulations
before they go through the final regulatory process.  They should be read
in conjunction with the purpose and provisions of the Act, particularly the
Act’s stated purpose to “facilitate the preservation of the State’s
published documentary heritage”, the issues outlined in the Discussion
Paper used to develop the regulations, and the Report on the Consultation.
The draft regulations, as well as additional information regarding the
Legal Deposit Act and the consultation process, are available on the State
Library’s website at
http://www.slwa.wa.gov.au/about_us/legislation/legal_deposit_act   ****

** **

We ask that any feedback is provided by Friday 16 August 2013.****
