The development, implementation and review of Australian Design Rules (ADRs) is an established process. If the public comment exposure indicateds broad agreement to the recommendations, an ADR can be determined under the authority of the Minister for Transport and Regional Services under section 7 of the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989. Any draft text of the ADR as provided during the public comment period would be reviewed and revised (provided there are no major changes) prior to this to ensure that any incorporated standards remain the latest version.
After this review is completed, further development of the ADR would be considered as part of the normal program of ADR review and revision. This program includes monitoring overseas developments and regular consultation with the Department’s key stakeholders to identify implementation issues or changes in factors affecting existing ADRs.
