Local Government (General)

Amendment (Rates for Irrigable Land)

Regulation 2008

under the

Local Government Act 1993

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Local Government Act 1993.

PAUL LYNCH, M.P.,

Minister for Local Government

Explanatory note
Clause 120B of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 provides that, for the purpose of determining sub-categories of farmland, as referred to in section 529 of the Local Government Act 1993, a council may have regard to any differences in the reduction of land values of irrigable land that have arisen as a consequence of the commencement of section 6A (4) of the Valuation of Land Act 1916. This is a transitional provision and, pursuant to clause 120C, does not apply to a council in respect of any year following the next (that is, the first) occasion after 1 July 2007 that the Valuer-General gives a valuation list to the council following a general valuation carried out in respect of the council’s area. The object of this Regulation is to amend clause 120C so as to provide that clause 120B does not apply to a council in respect of any year following the second (rather than the first) such occasion.

This Regulation is made under the Local Government Act 1993, including section 748 (the general power to make regulations) and clause 1 of Schedule 8 (the power to make regulations of a savings or transitional nature).
