Amendment No. 1002 provides for the continued validity of notices made under subsection (1) of section 59 or subsection (2) of section 60 of the Act of 2000. Such notices issue in respect of works that are carried out to prevent endangerment to protected structures or works carried out. A number of associated provisions that relate to these notices are also provided for.

To put it simply, if they commence before the new Act comes into play they will continue under the old Act and if they have not they will fall under the new Act.
