Part 2 Electoral rolls

3 Electoral rolls—Act, s 58 (1) For section 58(3)(e) of the Act, the other information prescribed for each person is the date the person is enrolled on the electoral roll. (2) For section 58(7) of the Act, the following government entities are prescribed— (a) Brisbane City Council; (b) Gold Coast City Council; (c) Ipswich City Council; (d) Logan City Council; (e) Residential Tenancies Authority; (f) the department in which the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 is administered.

4 Price for giving information about electoral rolls to local government—Act, s 61 (1) For section 61(1) of the Act, table, item 7, column 4, paragraph (b) and item 8, column 4, paragraph (b), the price for a copy of the most recent version of the entire electoral roll and changes to the most recent version of the entire electoral roll for a calendar year is the sum of— (a) 507.30 fee units; and (b) 37.75 fee units for each 1,000 (or part of 1,000) electors enrolled for the local government area on 31 August immediately before the local government requests the information. (2) Subsection (3) applies for working out the amount of a price for supplying information about the electoral rolls under this section. (3) For the purpose of the Acts Interpretation Act 1954, section 48C(3), the amount is to be rounded— (a) if the result is not more than $100—to the nearest multiple of 5 cents (rounding one-half upwards); or (b) if the result is more than $100 but not more than $1,000—to the nearest multiple of 10 cents (rounding one-half upwards); or (c) if the result is more than $1,000 but not more than $5,000—to the nearest dollar (rounding one-half upwards). Example for paragraph (a)— Subsection (1)(b) prescribes an amount of 37.75 fee units. If the value of a fee unit for this regulation were $1.50, the number of dollars obtained by multiplying $1.50 by 37.75 would be $56.625. Because $56.625 is halfway between $56.60 and $56.65, it is rounded upwards, so the amount would be $56.65.
