Northern Territory Aboriginal Sacred Sites Act 1989

Despite the amendments made by the amending Act, a person who held office as a member of the

Authority immediately before the commencement (an existing member) continues to be a member of the Authority after the commencement.

For subsection (1), an existing member who is not an Aboriginal member of the Authority is, after the commencement, taken to be a member appointed on the nomination of the Minister under section 6(2A), as in force after the commencement.

To avoid doubt:

section 7, as in force after the commencement, applies in relation to an existing member;

and

sections 24A and 24B, as in force after the commencement, apply in relation to an Authority

Certificate that was in effect immediately before the commencement.

In this section:

amending Act means the Northern

Territory Aboriginal Sacred Sites Legislation Amendment Act 2025.

commencement means the commencement of section 3 of the amending Act.
