Long Service Leave (Building and Construction Industry) Board Appointment 2007
Disallowable instrument DI2007—26

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Long Service Leave (Building and Construction Industry) Act 1981 establishes a portable long service leave scheme for workers in the building and construction industry.  Section 12 of the Act establishes the Governing Board.  Section 79 of the Financial Management Act 1996 allows the Minister to appoint the Chair of the Board.  

This instrument revokes and replaces Disallowable Instrument 2006-268, Long Service Leave (Building and Construction Industry) Board Appointment 2006.  That instrument included a technical error.  The appointment and acts committed under the appointment are valid despite that error under section 212 of the Legislation Act 2001.  

This instrument appoints Sarah Schoonwater as the Chair of the Governing Board.  The appointment begins immediately and ends on 31 December 2009.  As this Instrument becomes effective simultaneously with the revocation of the previous instrument the appointment of Ms Schoonwater is uninterrupted.

The appointee is not a Public Servant and this instrument makes an appointment to which the Legislation Act 2001, Division 19.3.3 applies.  Accordingly, under the Legislation Act 2001, s.229 the instrument is a disallowable instrument.
This appointment has been approved by the Minister and the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs has been consulted in accordance with section 228 (consultation with appropriate Assembly committee) of the Legislation Act 2001.
