Project No. 51

In 1990 Parliament passed the Unclaimed Money Act 1990 (WA) which substantially implemented the Commission’s recommendations. The only recommendations not implemented by the legislation were those incidental to the main focus of the report. These dealt with reforms to the Aboriginal Affairs Planning Authority Act 1972 (WA) and to the jurisdiction of Supreme Court Masters to make orders under s 66 of the Trustees Act 1962 (WA).
