Regions
93 Regions
The Region for a Local Aboriginal Land Council is the Region specified for the Council in Schedule 5.
The Governor may, by order published on the NSW legislation website, amend or substitute Schedule 5.
An order that has the effect of changing the area of a Region may not be made except on the recommendation of the Minister.
The Minister must not make a recommendation unless the Minister is satisfied that any Local Aboriginal Land Council affected, and the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council, consent to the change of Region.
Subsection (4) does not apply if the change results from an order made under section 87.
The New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council or a Local Aboriginal Land Council may at any time request the Minister to change the name of a Region or the Council areas included in the Region.
Regulations may be made for or with respect to elections for councillors and other matters consequential on changes to Regions.
