Overview
The Albury-Wodonga Development Regulations, Statutory Rules 1974 No. 11, were enacted under the Albury-Wodonga Development Act 1973, to provide detailed provisions for the administration and operation of the Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation. This legislation was introduced to address the need for coordinated development in the Albury-Wodonga area, aiming to foster economic growth and infrastructure improvements. The Regulations, prepared by the Office of Legislative Drafting, Attorney-General’s Department, establish remuneration and allowances for the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and part-time members of the Corporation, as well as provisions for travelling and other allowances. The objective of these Regulations is to ensure that the Corporation’s leadership and members are adequately compensated for their roles, thereby facilitating effective governance and operation within the designated development area.
Scope and Application
The Albury-Wodonga Development Regulations, established under the Albury-Wodonga Development Act 1973, apply to the remuneration and allowances of the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and part-time members of the Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation. These regulations cover the rates of remuneration, annual allowances, and allowances for travel and service outside Australia. Specifically, the Chairman's annual remuneration and allowance are set at $25,000 and $1,200, respectively, for periods before January 1, 1975, while a Deputy Chairman is entitled to $21,000 annually. Part-time members are compensated at a rate of $20 per day for up to three hours of service and $35 per day for more than three hours. Additionally, members are entitled to a travelling allowance of $34 per day for the Chairman and $28 per day for other members when they are absent overnight due to their duties, excluding the cost of conveyance. For service outside Australia, the Chairman is entitled to an allowance as if they were the Permanent Head of a Department, while Deputy Chairmen receive an allowance equivalent to that of an officer in the Second Division of the Australian Public Service. These provisions are applicable within the jurisdiction governed by the Albury-Wodonga Development Act 1973 and have been amended through various Statutory Rules as indicated in the regulations.
Key Provisions
The Albury-Wodonga Development Regulations, made under the Albury-Wodonga Development Act 1973, outline specific financial provisions for the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and part-time members of the Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation. Regulation 2 states that before 1 January 1975, the Chairman was to be paid a remuneration of $25,000 per year, with an additional annual allowance of $1,200. Regulation 2A specifies that a Deputy Chairman was to receive $21,000 per year in remuneration for any period of office before 1 January 1975. Regulation 3 details the fees for part-time members, who were to receive $20 per day if they performed their duties for no more than three hours and $35 per day if they performed duties for more than three hours.
These regulations impose financial obligations on the Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation by stipulating the remuneration and allowances for its officers and part-time members. The Chairman and Deputy Chairman are to be paid fixed annual amounts, while part-time members receive daily fees based on the duration of their duties. Furthermore, Regulation 4 mandates that travelling allowance be paid to members who are absent overnight from their normal residence while performing their duties. The Chairman is entitled to $34.00 per day, while other members receive $28.00 per day. Regulation 5 addresses allowances for the Chairman and Deputy Chairman when they perform duties outside Australia and its territories, equating their allowances to those of specific public service positions.
Failure to adhere to the financial provisions outlined in these regulations could result in legal consequences. While the specific offences, penalties, or consequences for breach are not detailed in the provided text, non-compliance with statutory financial obligations could potentially lead to legal actions for breach of contract or other related civil or administrative penalties. The precise nature of these consequences would likely be determined by the terms of the Albury-Wodonga Development Act 1973 and any relevant case law or administrative rulings.
