Opal Mining Act 1995

There is to be an Opal Mining Registrar and other opal mining registrars.

The Opal Mining Registrar and the opal mining registrars are to be

Public Service employees.

The Opal Mining Registrar may delegate a power or function of the

Opal Mining Registrar to another opal mining registrar.

If the terms of an instrument of delegation allows for subdelegation, the delegate may subdelegate the power or function in accordance with the instrument (and a reference in this section to a delegation will then extend to any such subdelegation).

A delegation under this section—

may be absolute or conditional; and

may be made—

to a specified person; or

to a person for the time being holding or acting in a specified office or position; and

does not derogate from the power of the delegator to act in any matter; and

is revocable at will by the delegator.

An opal mining registrar may be assigned to act as the Opal Mining

Registrar—

during a vacancy in the office of Opal Mining Registrar;

or

when the Opal Mining Registrar is absent from, or unable to discharge, official duties.
