CANBERRA THEATRE TRUST ORDINANCE 1967

Explanatory Memorandum

No. 22 of 1967

	The Canberra Theatre Trust Ordinance 1967 makes several changes, of a procedural nature only, to the Canberra Theatre Trust legislation.

	Under the Canberra Theatre Trust Ordinance 1965-1966 the Trust was required to furnish to the Minister a report of its operations, together with financial statements, in respect of a year ending the thirty-first day of July.  The 1967 Ordinance provides that this report and the financial statements shall be prepared in respect of the year ending the thirtieth day of June, in accordance with common practice.

	Previously the Trust was required to keep its accounts and records in such form as the Treasurer approved.  This control, more stringent than was desired or intended, has been deleted.

	Formerly it was necessary for the by-laws made by the Trust to be published in full in the Gazette.  The amendment provides that such by-laws need only be gazetted in the abbreviated form.
