EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No. 2) 1994 amended the Associations Incorporation Act 1984. The amendments included the replacement of references in that Act to “prescribed” forms with references to “approved” forms, i.e. forms approved by the Commissioner (now the Director-General of the Department of Fair Trading).

The object of this Regulation is to revise the Associations Incorporation Regulation 1994 as a consequence of the amendments, and the administrative changes, referred to above. The principal change is the omission of Schedule 2 (which contains 21 prescribed forms).

This Regulation is made under the Associations Incorporation Act 1984, particularly section 73 (1) (the general regulation-making power).
