Local Government and Other Legislation Amendment
Bill 2005
Page 19, Clause 27 should be removed and replaced by the following:
Clause 27 amends a number of provisions in section 492.
Sub clauses 27 (1) and (4) amend section 492 to align its terminology
with that used in the LGFS regarding non-current assets. 2 Local
Government and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2005
Sub clauses 27 (2), (7), (8), (9) and (10) renumber various subsections
in section 492.
Sub clause 27 (3) inserts the term "local government owned
corporation" into subsection 492(1)(a). This will allow councils to
dispose of designated non-current assets to local government owned
corporations without being subject to open competition provisions in
section 491, similar to current provisions for State Government
Owned Corporations.
Sub clause 27 (5) clarifies that councils are exempt from the tender
and auction requirements of section 491 if the disposal is a trade-in
component of a contract for the supply of goods.
Sub clauses 27 (6) and (11) allow councils using the procedural
contracting model to exempt the application of these provisions in
section 491 where the council has resolved that a plan be prepared for
a significant designated disposal activity and that plan has been made
in accordance with new section 486(2). Together these provisions
allow councils to use an alternate approach for one-off significant
disposals that it may need to make from time to time.
Page 19, Clause 28 should have its title changed to "Insertion of new ch 6,
pt 3, div 3, sdiv 4".
