Amendment of Schedule 1 (Names and areas of local health districts)
19 Amendment of Schedule 1 (Names and areas of local health districts)
(cf AHS Act ss 6 and 8)
The Governor may, by order published on the NSW legislation website—
amend column 1 of Schedule 1 by inserting, altering or omitting the name of a local health district, or
amend column 2 or 3 (or both) of Schedule 1 by inserting, altering or omitting a description of the area in respect of which a local health district is (or was) constituted, or
omit Schedule 1 and insert instead a Schedule containing the names of local health districts and descriptions of the areas in respect of which the local health districts are constituted.
If an area in respect of which a local health district is constituted—
is described by reference to a local government area that is constituted as a city, and
the name of the city (but not the boundaries) is changed,
a reference in column 2 of Schedule 1 to the old name of the city is taken to include a reference to the new name of the city.
The boundaries of the area in respect of which a local health district that is described by reference to any local government area or part of any local government area are unaffected by a change in the boundaries of the local government area and, for that purpose, the boundaries of the local government area are taken to remain the same as they were when reference to the local government area was included in column 2 of Schedule 1.
