Electoral Act 1992

This section applies if—

a political entity accepts a gift made by, or on behalf of, a person; and

at the time the gift is given, the person is not a property developer or a close associate of a property developer; and

within 12 months after the gift is given—

the person becomes a property developer or a close associate of a property developer; and

a relevant planning application is made by the property developer or close associate.

The giver of the gift must pay to the Territory an amount equal to the amount of the gift.

The amount payable under subsection (2) is a debt payable to the Territory by the giver of the gift and may be recovered by a proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction.
