Temporary continuation of local government areas
351 Temporary continuation of local government areas
Despite the commencement of the amendment regulation, sections 6 and 7 and schedule 1, as in force immediately before 19 March 2016, continue to apply for a local government until the conclusion of the 2016 quadrennial elections for the local government.
However, if a place is excluded from one local government’s area and included in another local government’s area because of a boundary change, the inclusion and exclusion happens at the earlier conclusion of the 2016 quadrennial elections for either local government.
This section applies despite sections 6 and 7, and schedule 1.
In this section—
2016 quadrennial elections means the quadrennial election held in 2016 under the Local Government Electoral Act 2011.
amendment regulation means the Local Government Legislation Amendment Regulation (No. 3) 2015.
boundary change, for a local government, means the boundaries of its local government area, as shown on its area map mentioned in former schedule 1, are different to the boundaries of the area as shown on its area map mentioned in new schedule 1.
former schedule 1 means schedule 1 as in force immediately before 19 March 2016.
new schedule 1 means schedule 1 as in force immediately after 19 March 2016.
