Great Ocean Road and Environs Protection Act 2020

The Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority is established.

The Authority—

is a body corporate with perpetual succession; and

has a common seal; and

may sue and be sued in its corporate name; and

may acquire, hold and dispose of real and personal property; and

may take land on lease and grant subleases of leased land in accordance with this Act; and

may accept grants or donations of money or other personal property (whether by deed, will or otherwise) for a purpose related to the functions of the Authority; and

may expend any revenue from the land or any other moneys for any of the purposes of performing any of the functions of the Authority; and

may do and suffer all acts and things that a body corporate may by law do and suffer.

The common seal must be kept as directed by the board of the Authority and must not be used except as authorised by the board.

All courts must take judicial notice of the common seal of the Authority affixed to a document and, until the contrary is proved, must presume that it was duly affixed.

Section 9 of the Financial Management Act 1994 does not apply to any grant or donation accepted by the Authority under subsection (2)(f).
