Regulation-making power for implementation of de-amalgamations
270A Regulation-making power for implementation of de-amalgamations
A de-amalgamation of a local government area is the separation of the area into different local government areas, each to be governed by its own local government.
The Governor in Council may implement a de-amalgamation of a local government area under a regulation.
The regulation may provide for anything that is necessary or convenient to facilitate the implementation of the de-amalgamation of the local government area.
For example, the regulation may provide for—
holding, postponing or cancelling a local government election; or
the transfer of assets and liabilities from a local government to another local government; or
the recovery of the costs of the de-amalgamation of the local government area; or
the temporary continuation of a local law for the affected part of a local government area.
A local government is not liable to pay a State tax in relation to a transfer or other arrangement made to implement a de-amalgamation.
A State tax is a tax, charge, fee or levy imposed under an Act.
