in metropolitan and regional areas of Victoria. The Transport (Amendment) Act also merged the Road Construction Authority and the Road Traffic Authority to create the Roads Corporation or VicRoads to manage the State's road network and its vehicle licensing and registration systems. The mergers took effect on 1 July 1989. Other organisational changes Other major organisational changes occurred after 1989 including the establishment of the office of the Director of Public Transport and the abolition of the Public Transport Corporation as well as the creation of discrete and special purpose organisations such as VicTrack and V/Line. Regulatory developments Many of the regulatory consolidations effected by the Transport Act have been reversed since the Act was initially passed. In many cases, the Victorian Parliament has acted to pass new principal statutes for subject matters previously regulated by the Transport Act, for example: Public Transport Competition Act 1995 (since renamed the Bus Services Act 1995) Rail Corporations Act 1996 Rail Safety Act 2006 Accident Towing Services Act 2007 Bus Safety Act 2009, and Tourist and Heritage Railways Act 2010. The Transport Integration Act 2010 In early 2010, the Victorian Parliament passed a major new transport statute, the Transport Integration Act, which came into force on 1 July of that year. The new act superseded the Transport Act as Victoria's main transport statute and, at the same time, it extended the ambit of the legislation beyond land transport activities to cover ports and marine services. Transfer of organisations All Victorian transport organisations created by statute have been transferred to the Transport Integration Act including the land transport agencies previously established and empowered by the Transport Act. Change of name of Transport Act The Transport Integration Act changed the name of the Transport Act 1983 to the Transport (Compliance and Miscellaneous) Act 1983. The name change took effect on 1 July 2010.
