Disallowable instrument DI2006–6
made under the  
Cemeteries and Crematoria Act 2003, Section 28A – Functions of Cemeteries Authority

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Legislative Context

Governance arrangements for public cemeteries under the Cemeteries and Crematoria Act 2003 (C&C Act) changed from 1 January 2006 as a result of the commencement of provisions of the Financial Management Legislation Amendment Act 2005 (the Amendment Act). The Amendment Act, amongst other things, reorganised the Australian Capital Territory Public Cemeteries Board (the Board) as the Australian Capital Territory Public Cemeteries Authority (the Authority). The functions of the ‘new’ Authority remain the same as the functions of the Board. 

Section 28A of the C&C Act (which commenced on 1 January 2006) states that the functions of the authority are to effectively and efficiently manage public cemeteries and crematoria for which the Authority has been appointed in writing as the operator by the Minister. The appointment is a disallowable instrument.
