Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983

The following functions are to be exercised, in accordance with this Act, by resolution of the voting members of a Local Aboriginal Land Council—

acceptance of persons as qualified for membership,

(Repealed)

approval of the rules and code of conduct of the Council and any amendment to or repeal or replacement of those rules or that code,

approval or amendment of the community, land and business plan of the Council,

approval of transfers of assets under section 52C,

approval of dealings with land (within the meaning of Division 4 of Part 2) and land dealing approval agreements (within the meaning of that Division), other than any such dealings or agreements that do not require the approval of the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council,

receipt of the annual budget and the financial statements of the Council,

election of Board members,

approval of travelling and other allowances of Board members under section 63,

approval of a policy, employment or consultancy for the purposes of section 66A,

suspension of members from attending or voting at meetings of the Council,

approval of requests to change the name of the Council’s area or for the amalgamation or dissolution of the Council, or its re-allocation to another Region.

For the avoidance of doubt, subsection (1)(f) requires a resolution of the Council confirming receipt by the Council of the annual budget and financial statements, not a resolution approving the contents of the annual budget and financial statements.
