Appointment and powers of administrator
3 Appointment and powers of administrator
The Governor may, by notice in the Gazette, appoint an administrator to administer the affairs and activities of the Board if the
Minister, after complying with clauses 1 and
2, certifies that the Board has failed to perform a duty arising from a provision of this Act or the Training
Plan.
An appointment of an administrator, unless sooner revoked under subclause (7) or terminated in accordance with the regulations, remains in force for a period of one year.
An administrator of the Board may, but need not, be a Public
Service employee.
On the appointment of an administrator, the Minister must serve on the Board a copy of the instrument of the appointment and on the service of the copy of that instrument—
the members of the Board cease to hold office; and
the functions of the Board will be performed, and the powers of the
Board may be exercised, by the administrator in the name and on behalf of the
Board until the administrator's office is vacated under this section;
and
any delegation made by the Board under this Act ceases to have effect.
Subject to this clause, an administrator—
must, as soon as practicable after appointment as such, take into the custody or under the control of the administrator all the property and things in action to which the Board is, or appears to be, entitled;
and
may, subject to and in accordance with any direction given to the administrator by the Minister, perform the functions and exercise the powers of the Board in such manner as the administrator thinks fit.
The office of an administrator becomes vacant if the administrator—
dies; or
resigns by written notice to the Governor; or
is convicted of an indictable offence; or
becomes bankrupt or applies to take the benefit of a law for the relief of insolvent debtors; or
is subject to the revocation of their appointment under subclause (7).
The Governor may, for any reason that the Governor considers sufficient, revoke the appointment of an administrator.
Where the office of administrator becomes vacant under subclause (6), the Governor may, by instrument in writing, appoint another person to fill the vacancy.
An administrator will be paid such remuneration, allowances and expenses (if any) as the Governor may determine.
