1991—No. 75

CO-OPERATION ACT 1923—REGULATION

(Relating to the advertisement of a change of name of a society)

NEW SOUTH WALES

[Published in Gazette No. 33 of 22 February 1991]

HIS Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, and in pursuance of the Co-operation Act 1923, has been pleased to make the Regulation set forth hereunder.

G. B. PEACOCKE
Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs.

The Co-operatives Regulations 1961 are amended by omitting Regulation 29 and by inserting instead the following Regulation:

Advertisement of change of name

29. (1) Within 28 days after the registration of a change of name

of a society, the Registrar must cause the change of name to be
advertised in the Government Gazette.

(2) Within the same period, the society must cause the change of name to be advertised in at least one newspaper circulating in the locality in which the registered office of the society is situated.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The object of this Regulation is to amend the Co-operatives Regulations 1961 so as to provide that, when a co-operative society changes its name, the responsibility for advertising that fact is the responsibility of the Registrar of Co-operative Societies in respect of advertising in the Government Gazette, and of the society itself in respect of advertising elsewhere in the press. (At present, the person responsible for placing the advertisement is not specified.)
