University of the Sunshine Coast Act 1998

The Minister may, by notice given to the council, extend the terms of office of the additional, appointed and elected members for not more than 1 year if the Minister is satisfied the extension—

is in the best interests of the university; and

is necessary for the council to perform its functions and exercise its powers appropriately, effectively and efficiently.

If the Minister acts under subsection (1), the Minister must extend, by the same amount, the terms of office of all additional, appointed and elected members.

The extension applies only to members holding office when the notice is given under subsection (1).

This section—

does not allow the Minister to extend the terms of office of the members for more than 1 year by again acting under subsection (1); and

applies despite sections 18, 19(1) and (2) and 20.
