Legislation documents published in the Gazette will have a new look from tomorrow, the Department of Justice says.

Major changes include a larger font size for the main text, wider line spacing between paragraphs, restructured amending provisions as well as more informative headers.

Good document design leads to clearer communication, the department said, adding the changes will make legislation texts more user-friendly and modern.

Although the department has designated July 15 as the cut-off date for the implementation of the new design, there are some yet to be gazetted legislative items prepared under the old format. Hence, some future legal supplements for the Gazette, including those to be published tomorrow, will contain legislative items both in the new and old format.
