The Outback Communities Authority is established.
The Authority is the same body corporate as the Outback Areas
Community Development Trust established under the
Outback Areas Community Development Trust
Act 1978.
The Authority—
has perpetual succession and a common seal; and
is capable of suing and being sued in its corporate name;
and
has all the powers of a natural person that are capable of being exercised by a body corporate.
The Authority is an instrumentality of the Crown and holds its property on behalf of the Crown.
The Authority is subject to the control and direction of the
Minister except in relation to—
the enforcement of this or any other Act; and
the preparation of reports under this or any other
Act.
If a document appears to bear the common seal of the Authority, it will be presumed, in the absence of proof to the contrary, that the document was duly executed by the Authority.
