Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Administration) Act 1992

The Board is taken to have made a decision at a meeting if:

without meeting, a majority of the Board members entitled to vote on the proposed decision indicate agreement with the decision; and

that agreement is indicated in accordance with the method determined by the Board under subsection (2); and

all the Board members were informed of the proposed decision, or reasonable efforts were made to inform all the Board members of the proposed decision.

Subsection (1) applies only if the Board:

has determined that it may make decisions of that kind without meeting; and

has determined the method by which Board members are to indicate agreement with proposed decisions.

The Board must keep a record of decisions made in accordance with this section.

The Board must give the Secretary of the Department details of each decision made in accordance with this section within 20 business days of the decision being made.
