22 City of Subiaco may review ward boundaries and councillor numbers
The object of this section is to enable the City of Subiaco to review its ward boundaries, and the number of offices of councillor for each ward, for the purpose of ensuring that, on 1 July 2016, those things take account of the constitution of the district of Perth by section 18(1) and the boundary changes effected by section 19.
After this section comes into operation and before 31 March 2016, the City of Subiaco may carry out a review under this section of —
its ward boundaries; and
the number of offices of councillor for each ward.
For the purposes of a review carried out under subsection (2) —
the Local Government Act 1995, with all necessary changes, applies to the review as if, under Schedule 2.2 clause 6(3) of that Act, the Local Government Advisory Board had required the City of Subiaco to carry out the review; and
the review is to be carried out as if the constitution of the district of Perth by section 18(1), and the boundary changes effected by section 19, had taken effect when this section comes into operation; and
the local public notice of the review given under Schedule 2.2 clause 7 of that Act must —
state that the review is being carried out under this section; and
state that the review is being carried out as if the constitution of the district of Perth by section 18(1), and the boundary changes effected by section 19, had taken effect when this section comes into operation; and
state that the review is being carried out for the purpose of ensuring that, on 1 July 2016, the City of Subiaco’s ward boundaries, and the number of offices of councillor for each ward, take account of that constitution and those boundary changes; and
contain an explanation of the purpose of the review (as set out in subparagraph (iii)), and of the basis on which it is being carried out (as set out in subparagraph (ii)).
If the City of Subiaco carries out a review under subsection (2), it must ensure that the report that the Local Government Act 1995 Schedule 2.2 clause 9 requires it to make to the Local Government Advisory Board on completing the review is made to the Advisory Board no later than 31 March 2016.
