Bank Holiday
Per the Holidays Act 1958: "there is a bank holiday on the first Monday in August. Bank holidays do not apply to everyone." Not a general public holiday — does not appear in the ACT Government's own public holiday table. Sector-restricted (bank/finance sector, per Enterprise Agreement/Award), so excluded from statewide/general calculations by holiday_type alone.
Sector-specific — not a statewide public holiday
