Administration by local governments and other entities
135 Administration by local governments and other entities
Each local government is responsible for administering this Act within its local government area.
However, if an area within a local government area is not under the local government’s control, the entity that has control of the area is responsible for administering this Act within the area.
Example of an entity, other than a local government, that has control of an area—
Weipa Town Authority
Subsection (4) applies if—
an area within a local government area is not under the local government’s control; or
an area next to a local government area is not part of the local government area.
The local government for the area may, if asked by the entity that has control of the area, administer this Act within the area.
