(Repealed)

Provincial Association of New South Wales,

Country Racing Council Limited,

If a major racing body ceases to exist, its functions under this Act are conferred on its successor and its successor becomes a major racing body in its place (including for the purposes of the operation of this section).

The successor of a major racing body is the body nominated by the Minister by order published in the Gazette.

The Minister cannot nominate a body as successor of a major racing body except with the approval of a majority of the racing clubs whose interests the major racing body represented or, where the major racing body did not represent the interests of any racing club, with the approval of a majority of the persons who were members of the major racing body immediately before it ceased to exist.

If a successor of a major racing body cannot be nominated, there is no successor of that body for the purposes of this section.
