An appointed member of the Board will hold office for a term of not more than three years and, at the end of that term, will be eligible for reappointment.

A member of the Board is entitled to allowances and expenses determined by the Minister.

The Minister may remove an appointed member of the Board from office—

for misconduct; or

for neglect of duty; or

for incompetence; or

for mental or physical incapacity to carry out satisfactorily the duties of his or her office.

The office of an appointed member becomes vacant if the member—

dies; or

completes a term of office; or

resigns by written notice addressed to the Minister;

is removed from office by the Minister under subsection (3).

On the office of an appointed member becoming vacant, a person must be appointed in accordance with this Act to the vacant office.

An act or proceeding of the Board is not invalid by reason only of a vacancy in its membership, or a defect in the appointment of a member.
