(1) The council may,
by resolution passed by an absolute majority, declare that all the buildings
within the area, or any part of the area, must be provided with bacteriolytic
tanks for the disposal of sewage; but no such resolution may be passed unless
the council is of opinion that there is a proper supply of water in or with
respect to the area or part (as the case may be) for the purposes of the
disposal of sewage by means of bacteriolytic tanks.
(1a) The council may,
by resolution passed in the manner and under the circumstances provided for by
subsection (1), declare that all the buildings within the area, or any
part of it, which are erected after a day fixed by the resolution, must be
provided with bacteriolytic tanks for the disposal of sewage. The council may,
at any time subsequent to passing a resolution pursuant to this subsection,
pass a resolution under subsection (1) relating to any part of the area
to which a resolution under this subsection applies.
(1b) Before a
resolution is passed under subsection (1) or (1a), the proposal must be
submitted by the council to the South Australian Health Commission and the
Commission must, after making such inquiries as it considers necessary, report
to the council whether or not, in its opinion, the area or part to which it is
proposed that the resolution should apply is suitable for the installation of
bacteriolytic tanks and whether or not the Commission approves of the passing
of the resolution. No resolution of the council under subsection (1) or
(1a) has any force or legal effect unless the passing of the resolution is
approved by the Commission.
(2) Every such
resolution, together with the approval of the South Australian Health
Commission to the passing of the resolution, must be published in the Gazette.
