Local Government Act 2009

On and from 1 July 2010—

the Local Government Association of Queensland (Incorporated) (LGAQ Inc.) established under the 1993 Act stops being a public authority (however called) for the purposes of an Act (including the Ombudsman Act 2001 and Public Records Act 2002, for example); and

all rights, liabilities and interests of LGAQ Inc., that are in existence immediately before 1 July 2010, are taken to be the rights, liabilities and interests of LGAQ Ltd.

The LGAQ Ltd. is the corporation prescribed under a regulation for this section.

For example—

an agreement with the LGAQ Inc. becomes an agreement with LGAQ Ltd.; and

an interest in real or personal property of LGAQ Inc. becomes an interest of LGAQ Ltd.; and

a proceeding that could be started or continued by or against LGAQ Inc. may be started or continued by or against LGAQ Ltd.; and

a person who was employed by LGAQ Inc. is taken to be employed by LGAQ Ltd.

This change of employer does not—

affect an employee’s employment conditions, benefits, entitlements or remuneration; or

prejudice an employee’s existing or accruing rights to—

recreation, sick, long service or other leave; or

superannuation; or

entitle a person to a payment or other benefit merely because the person is no longer employed by LGAQ Inc.; or

interrupt a person’s continuity of service; or

constitute a retrenchment or redundancy.

A reference in an Act or document to the LGAQ Inc. may, if the context permits, be taken to be a reference to LGAQ Ltd.
