Community Improvement Districts Act 2025

The Authority must conduct a ballot, or cause a ballot to be conducted on its behalf, (a CID proposal ballot) to ascertain if the CID proposal is supported by—

the business land owners in the CID, and

the CID businesses in the CID.

For subsection (1), the Authority may enter an agreement or other arrangement with a person, including the New South Wales Electoral Commissioner, to conduct a CID proposal ballot on the Authority’s behalf.

To avoid doubt, the New South Wales Electoral Commissioner may conduct a CID proposal ballot on the Authority’s behalf under the Electoral Act 2017, section 13 as if the reference in the section to an election were a reference to a CID proposal ballot under this section.
