Water Management Act 2000

The administrator of a private water trust appointed under this Division holds office for such period as is specified in the order appointing the administrator. The administrator ceases to hold office if the Minister, by a subsequent order published in the Gazette, revokes the appointment or on the appointment of new trustees under this section.

The administrator has and may exercise the functions of the trust specified in the administrator’s order of appointment (subject to any conditions specified in that order) but is not required to comply with the rules of the trust.

The administrator may amend the rules of the trust and take such other action as is necessary to enable the trust to properly exercise its functions.

The administrator is entitled to be paid such remuneration, from the funds of the trust, as the Minister may from time to time determine.

The Minister may at any time, by order published in the Gazette, extend the period of appointment of an administrator.

The administrator must, if required to do so by the Minister, report to the Minister on the administrator’s conduct of the affairs of the trust.

The administrator may at any time recommend to the Minister that new trustees be appointed or that the trust be wound up.

The administrator must, if required to do so by the Minister, arrange for elections to be held for new elected trustees.
