Unlike most statutes enacted by the Victorian Parliament in recent years, the Country Fire Authority Act 1958 does not contain a section which spells out the purposes or the objectives of the Act. Rather, these must be determined by reference to particular sections of the Act, which spell out the powers, duties and responsibilities of CFA, the Chief Officer, other officers, municipal councils, etc. Of necessity, statutory interpretation and inference are important activities in working out what CFA can and must do, to fulfil its statutory charter.
Below is a copy of the CFA Act Version Number 126 of the Country Fire Authority Act 1958. This version incorporates amendments as at 01 January 2010.
To view a more recent version (if one exists) please visit the Department of Justice Website, which always maintains the most recent version. You will find it under Home > Justice System > Justice Legislation.
