Industrial Relations Regulation 2018

If the commission approves the submission of a proposed amalgamation or withdrawal to a ballot, the commission must—

consult with the manager of the ballot about the matters mentioned in paragraphs (b) and (c); and

fix days and times for the ballot to start and finish; and

fix the roll cut-off day under section 107.

The ballot must start within 28 days of the approval, unless—

the commission is satisfied the manager of the ballot needs more time to arrange the ballot; or

the applicant for the amalgamation or withdrawal ballot requests a later day.

If a scheme for a proposed amalgamation has 1 or more proposed alternative schemes, all ballots for the proposed amalgamation and proposed alternative amalgamations must have the same start and finish days.

The commission may, after consulting with the manager of the ballot, change the start or finish day.
