A development corporation may be constituted in respect of a growth centre within any area (including, but not limited to, an urban area or a rural area).

Schedule 1A has effect with respect to orders made under this section.

An order under this section may contain provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of or made under Schedule 1A, of a savings and transitional nature consequent on the making of the order.

The Governor may only make an order under subsection (1) (b) to dissolve a development corporation on the recommendation of the Minister.

(Repealed)

An order under this section must specify the date (being a date that is on or after the date it is published on the NSW legislation website) on which it takes effect. However, if no date is specified in the order, the order is taken to have specified the date on which it is published on the NSW legislation website as the date on which it takes effect.
