Crown Land Management Act 2016

If it is disclosed to the board members of a board, or they have reason to believe, that a member of the board has or may have a direct or indirect material personal interest in a proposed contract with the statutory land manager—

the board must, by notice published in the Gazette and in a newspaper circulating throughout the State, invite tenders for the proposed contract, and

must not enter into the proposed contract unless satisfied that, in all the circumstances of the case, none of the tenders submitted is more advantageous than the proposed contract.

The notice inviting tenders must—

set out the nature of the work or services to be performed or the goods to be supplied under the contract, and

invite persons willing to perform the work or services or supply the goods to submit tenders on or before a specified date (at least 21 days after publication of the notice) to the statutory land manager.

This clause does not apply in the case of an emergency.

A contravention of this clause does not invalidate any decision of the board.
