Electoral Act 1992

The electoral commission must establish redistribution committees for this part.

The establishment of a redistribution committee is a notifiable instrument.

A redistribution committee shall consist of—

the commissioner; and

the territory planning authority; and

the surveyor-general; and

a person appointed by the electoral commission whose qualifications or experience would, in the opinion of the electoral commission, enable the person to assist the committee, particularly in relation to the factors set out in section 36.

Note For the making of appointments, see Legislation Act 2001, pt 19.3.

The member mentioned in subsection (3) (d) holds the position on the conditions that are decided by the electoral commission and stated in the member’s appointment.

The surveyor-general is not subject to direction from anyone (other than the electoral commissioner, for the efficient functioning of the redistribution committee) in the exercise of the surveyor-general’s functions as a member of the committee.
