Minister may change name
3 Minister may change name
The Minister may, by notice published in the Gazette, change the name of a statutory land manager.
The name of the statutory land manager is changed to its new name on the day that the notice takes effect.
To avoid doubt, section 53 (1) of the Interpretation Act 1987 applies to a change of a statutory land manager’s name under this clause in the same way as it applies to an alteration to its name.
Note.
Section 53 (1) of the Interpretation Act 1987 provides that if a statutory body’s name is altered—
the body continues in existence under its new name so that its identity is not affected, and
a reference in any Act or instrument, or in any other document, to the body under its former name is, except in relation to matters that occurred before the alteration took place, to be read as a reference to the body under its new name.
