</div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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 <a href="http://www.slwa.wa.gov.au/about_us/legislation/legal_deposit_act" target="_blank">http://www.slwa.wa.gov.au/about_us/legislation/legal_deposit_act</a> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
