Public Access to Legislation Project

Project update, September 2007

User acceptance testing and system performance testing have now been completed and signed off.

PAL users from the PCO, Office of the Clerk, and IRD are currently undergoing training.

Data is being loaded into the production system, and the conversion of work in progress has begun.

When the PAL system is ready for implementation, it will be introduced and the old system phased out over a transition period of three months, rather than cutting over to the new system on a specific date.

The Interim Website of New Zealand Legislation provided by Brookers will initially continue to operate during transition. The new legislation website is expected to become available to the public in late 2007.
