Co-operatives National Law (NSW)

The Registrar must approve a merger under an application under this Division if satisfied—

this Division and the National Regulations have been complied with in relation to the application; and

the proposed rules of the merged co-operative are consistent with this Law and may reasonably be approved; and

the certificates of registration of the co-operatives have been surrendered to the Registrar; and

there is no good reason why the merged co-operative and its rules should not be registered.

On approving an application for merger, the Registrar must—

cancel the registration of the co-operatives involved in the merger; and

register the merged co-operative and its rules; and

issue to the merged co-operative a certificate of registration under this Law.

A merger takes effect on the issue of the certificate of registration for the merged co-operative.
