EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Explanatory Notes
The University of Canberra (Election of Staff and Student Members of Council) Statute 2010 regulates the election of the staff and student members of the Council of the University. The statute repeals the University of Canberra Election of Staff Members of Council Statute 2007 and the University of Canberra Election of Student Members of Council Statute 2007.  
Operational matters relating to the election of the staff and student members are now included in two new Rules made under the University of Canberra Election of Staff and Student Members of Council Statute 2010: the University of Canberra Election of Staff Members of Council Rules 2010 and the University of Canberra Election of Student Members of Council Rules 2010. Operational matters were previously included in statutes. The Rules permit elections to be held by electronic means and for elections to be held in teaching periods not designated as semesters, neither of which were permissible under the previous statutes. 

In making this Statute the University had regards to the provisions of section 40B(1)(b) of the Human Rights Act 2004 (ACT).
