All content after Section 1(4) for Acts and Section 1(3) for Resolutions may be amended and removed as needed, but must be consistent with template styling, subject to any alterations defined below.

Acts and Resolutions may adopt either of the following numbering systems at the drafter's discretion:
Continuous numbering. Section numbers increment continuously throughout the entire Act, regardless of Part divisions; or
Part-based numbering. Section numbers restart at 1 within each new Part.

Subsection and sub-subsection numbering shall follow the hierarchy established in the template: (1), (a), (i), but may be adjusted as needed for clarity and organisation. Once an Act or Resolution adopts a numbering system, that system should be maintained consistently throughout the document unless there is a compelling organisational reason to deviate.

Amendments to this format should be done through an amendment to the Legislative Standards Act
