21 Local Government Act 1995 applies as if things done by section 2.1 order
The following are to be taken for all purposes to have been done by the Governor by an order under the Local Government Act 1995 section 2.1 (a section 2.1 order) that comes into operation when this section comes into operation —
the constitution of the district of Perth by sections 17(1) and 18(1);
the boundary changes effected by section 19.
The Local Government Act 1995 applies accordingly, and in particular (but without limitation) —
Schedule 2.1 clause 11 of that Act applies in the same way as it would apply if the constitution and boundary changes had been done by a section 2.1 order; and
regulations providing for matters to give effect to section 2.1 orders also apply in that same way; and
the fact that the constitution and boundary changes are effected by Act does not prevent —
the subsequent making of a section 2.1 order or any other order under the Local Government Act 1995 in relation to the district of Perth or any other district; or
the performance of any other function under the Local Government Act 1995 or any other written law in relation to the district of Perth or any district whose boundaries are changed by section 19.
However, an order under the Local Government Act 1995 cannot —
abolish the district of Perth; or
divide the district of Perth into wards; or
change the boundaries of the district of Perth.
