Industrial Relations Regulation 2018

The commission may, before a ballot for a proposed amalgamation starts, permit the existing organisations for the amalgamation to amend the amalgamation scheme.

The commission may, before a ballot for a proposed withdrawal starts, permit a constituent part to amend the withdrawal scheme.

The permission may—

for a permission to amend a proposed amalgamated organisation’s rules—allow the amendment to be made by resolutions of the existing organisations’ management committees—

as far as the amendment affects the proposed amalgamated organisation or its rules; and

despite the proposed amalgamated organisation’s rules; and

for a permission to amend an existing organisation’s rules—despite the rules, allow the existing organisation by a resolution of its management committee to amend the rules, other than a proposed amalgamated organisation’s rules; and

for a permission to amend the rules of a proposed newly registered organisation—allow the amendment to be made by the constituent part—

as far as the amendment affects the proposed newly registered organisation or its rules; and

despite the proposed newly registered organisation’s rules; and

provide for procedures that, despite an organisation’s rules, may or must be followed by a management committee or a constituent part; and

be given on conditions stated by the commission.

If the commission gives the permission on conditions and the conditions are contravened, the commission may—

amend the scheme; or

give directions or make orders about—

holding the ballot; or

procedures for the amalgamation or withdrawal.

Subsection (4) does not limit the commission’s other powers.

If a scheme is amended, whether under this section or otherwise, the scheme outline must be amended to reflect the amendment.
