Cemeteries Act 1986

The Governor may cause to be prepared and published in the Gazette model local laws the provisions of which a local law or by‑law made under this Act may adopt by reference, with or without modification.

Model local laws have no effect except to the extent that they are adopted.

The Governor may, by notice published in the Gazette, amend a model local law published under this section.

An amendment to a model local law does not affect any local law or by‑law that adopted the model local law before the amendment but the amendment may be adopted by a further local law or by‑law.

The Governor may make a local law to amend the text of, or repeal, a local law or by‑law.

Subsection (1) does not include the power to amend a local law or by‑law to include in it a provision that bears no reasonable relationship to the local law or by‑law as in force before the amendment.

The Minister is to give a Board notice in writing of any local law that the Governor makes to amend the text of, or repeal, any of the Board’s local laws or by‑laws.

A local law made under this section is to be taken, for all purposes, to be a local law or by‑law made by the Board which made the local law or by‑law that is amended or repealed.

Section 3.17 of the Local Government Act 1995 does not apply in relation to local laws made under this Act.
