545 Curing of irregularities
(1) The Minister may authorise a council to do
such things as may be necessary to cure an irregularity in the making or
levying of a rate or charge.
(2) The Minister may declare, by order published
in the Gazette, that a rate or charge that would otherwise be invalid because
of a provision of this Part is taken to have been validly made from the time
it purported to have been made. Such an order has effect according to its
tenor.
(3) The Minister may not make such an order unless, in the Minister's
opinion, the rate or charge concerned is invalid only because of a minor and
technical breach of one or more of the provisions of this Part.
(4) The
Minister may make such an order even though proceedings in relation to the
validity have commenced.
