Insertion of new s 208A

Part 10O—

'208A Declaration about Act's assent

(2)

To remove any doubt, it is declared that the Local Government Electoral Act 2011 is, and always has been, valid, and in particular that the assent purportedly given to the Act on 1 September 2011 is, and always has been, valid.

Note—

Section 2(2) of this Act as assented to differs from section 2(2) as passed. The Bill for this Act was amended during consideration in detail to insert additional provisions resulting in a consequential renumbering of provisions. However, there was an administrative error during the renumbering process in that the cross-references in section 2(2) to renumbered provisions were not updated.

To remove any doubt, it is also declared that the Local Government Electoral Act 2011 has effect, and has always had effect, as if section 2(2) of the Act read—

'The following provisions commence on a day to be fixed by proclamation—

° part 12, divisions 2, 3, 11, 12, 14 and 16 ° sections 315 and 342.'.
