The chairperson or person presiding at a meeting of the board does not have, in the event of an equality of votes, a second or casting vote.(9) The board is required to meet at least 4 times each year, each time in a different quarter of the year.(10) The regulations may:(a) prescribe a mechanism for resolving decisions of a board in the event of an equality of votes, and(b) provide for the operation of the board during a period when councillors or mayors cease to hold office because of pending council elections.400U Role of board(1) The role of the board of a joint organisation is to direct and control the affairs of the joint organisation in accordance with this Act.(2) The board is to consult with the executive officer in directing and controlling the affairs of the joint organisation.(3) The board is to prepare and adopt a charter for the joint organisation containing (but not limited to) the following:(a) operational principles for the joint organisation,(b) governance principles for the joint organisation.(4) A charter may adopt requirements for a joint organisation that are additional or supplementary to, or more stringent than, requirements made by or under this Act but cannot adopt requirements that:(a) are less stringent than requirements made by or under this Act, or(b) are inconsistent with or contravene regulations under this Act relating to charters.(5) The regulations may:(a) make provision for or with respect to requirements for the form and content of a charter, and(b) require a charter to be made publicly available.400V Chairperson(1) The chairperson of a joint organisation is the person elected to the office of chairperson by the voting representatives on the board from among the voting representatives who are mayors.(2) The chairperson holds office for 2 years and may, if otherwise qualified, be re-elected as chairperson.(3) Despite subsection (2), the term of office of a person elected as chairperson on the occurrence of a casual vacancy is the remaining period of the term of office of the previous chairperson.(4) The office of chairperson:(a) commences on the day the person elected to the office is declared to be so elected, and(b) becomes vacant when the person’s successor is declared to be elected to the office, or on the occurrence of a casual vacancy in the office.Note—Section 400X (1) sets out when a casual vacancy occurs.(5) The joint organisation may determine that the chairperson is to be a non-voting chairperson and, if that occurs, the relevant member council is to nominate a councillor to be the voting representative for the council concerned instead of the person appointed as a non-voting chairperson for the period for which the chairperson holds office.(6) The councillor nominated is to be the deputy mayor of the relevant member council or another councillor if there is no deputy mayor or if the deputy mayor is already a voting representative.400W Alternates for voting representatives(1) The regulations may make provision for or with respect to the appointment, and functions, of alternates for voting representatives on the boards of joint organisations.(2) The regulations may impose limitations on the use and appointment of alternates.400X Vacancy in office of representatives or non-voting chairperson(1) A voting representative on or a non-voting chairperson of a joint organisation ceases to hold office as a voting representative or chairperson if the person:(a) ceases to be the mayor or a councillor of a member council, or(b) is a voting representative (other than a mayor) and resigns the office by writing addressed to the chairperson, or(c) is a voting representative (other than a mayor) and the person’s nomination as a voting representative is revoked, or(d) is removed from office by the Minister.Note—See section 275 for the circumstances in which a person is disqualified from holding civic office.(2) A voting representative who is suspended from office as a mayor or councillor of a member council (other than as a result of the suspension of a council and the appointment of an administrator) is suspended from office as a voting representative for the duration of the suspension.(3) A member council may make a written request to the Minister that the mayor of the council be removed by the Minister as a voting representative on the board of a joint organisation on the ground of exceptional circumstances. The request may, but need not, be supported by the mayor.(4) The Minister may remove a person from office as a voting representative on the board of a joint organisation at any time without notice and for no stated or any reason.(5) However, the Minister must provide a written statement setting out the reasons for any such removal and make those reasons publicly available.(6) If a person ceases to be a voting representative on the board of a joint organisation because the person is removed from office under this section, the relevant member council must appoint a councillor of the council to be a voting representative instead of the former representative for the remainder of the former representative’s term of office.400Y Executive officer(1) The executive officer of a joint organisation is:(a) to conduct the day-to-day management of the joint organisation in accordance with the strategic regional priorities and other plans, programs, strategies and policies of the organisation, and(b) to implement, without delay, lawful decisions of the joint organisation.(2) The executive officer may also, if the joint organisation determines an organisation structure requiring other staff:(a) appoint staff in accordance with the organisation structure and the resources approved by the joint organisation, and(b) direct and dismiss staff.(3) The executive officer is to be the public officer of the joint organisation or is to designate another member of staff as the public officer.400Z Exercise of functionsA function of a joint organisation may, subject to this Part, be exercised:(a) by the joint organisation by means of the voting representatives or employees, by its agents or contractors, by financial provision, by the provision of goods, equipment, services, amenities or facilities or by any other means, or(b) by a committee of the board, or(c) partly or jointly by the joint organisation and another person or persons, or(d) jointly by the joint organisation and a member council or councils or another joint organisation, or(e) by a delegate of the joint organisation (which may, for example, be a member council or a committee of the board).400ZA Decisions and powers of joint organisations(1) A council cannot be required, by a decision of a joint organisation, to delegate any of its functions to the joint organisation.(2) A decision made, in good faith, by a voting representative on the board of a joint organisation is taken for the purposes of provisions of this Act relating to the functions and conduct of councillors not to have been taken by the representative in his or her capacity as the mayor or a councillor of a council.400ZB Effect of appointment of administrator for member council(1) If an administrator is appointed for a member council, the administrator who exercises the functions of the mayor of the council has:(a) the functions of the mayor of a member council under this Part, other than the functions of chairperson if the mayor was the chairperson, and(b) the functions of any additional voting representative from the member council on the board of the joint organisation immediately before the appointment of the administrator.(2) An administrator who is exercising the functions of the mayor of a council under this section is, while exercising those functions, eligible for election as chairperson in any election for the chairperson (whether or not occurring as a result of a casual vacancy arising because of the administrator’s appointment).Note—The removal of the mayor on an administrator being appointed creates a casual vacancy in the office of chairperson (see sections 400V and 400X).(3) A voting representative is taken not to be absent from a meeting of the board if an administrator exercising the representative’s functions under this Part is present.(4) An administrator who is exercising the functions of a mayor or other voting representative of a member council that has 2 voting representatives on the board may cast a vote at a meeting of the board for each representative of the member council.400ZC Amendment and dissolution of joint organisations(1)

for the purpose of amending the constitution of a joint organisation:(a) may change the name of the joint organisation, or(b) may vary the joint organisation area by adding or removing council areas and may specify the name of each council whose area is included in or removed from the joint organisation area.400ZD Facilitating provisions of proclamationsA proclamation of the Governor for the purposes of this Part may include provisions of the kind referred to in section 213.400ZE Delegations(1) A joint organisation may delegate to the executive officer, a committee of the board of the joint organisation or any other person or body (not including another employee of the joint organisation) any of the functions of the joint organisation, other than a function prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this section.(2) A joint organisation may sub-delegate to the executive officer, a committee of the board of the joint organisation or any other person or body (not including another employee of the joint organisation) any function delegated to the joint organisation by the Departmental Chief Executive or a council, except as provided by the regulations or the instrument of delegation to the joint organisation.(3) The executive officer may delegate any of the functions of the executive officer, other than this power of delegation.(4) The executive officer may sub-delegate a function delegated to the executive officer by the joint organisation to any person or body (including another employee of the joint organisation).(5) Subsection (4) extends to a function sub-delegated to the executive officer under subsection (2).400ZF Financial matters(1) The regulations may make provision for or with respect to the making of financial contributions to a joint organisation by the member councils, including the following:(a) the purposes for which contributions may be made,(b) the circumstances in which contributions may be required,(c) the assessment

the member council available for the purposes of the joint organisation.(3) A joint organisation may obtain income from charges, fees, grants, borrowings and investments. This subsection does not prevent a joint organisation exercising the functions of a council from obtaining income from other sources that may be used by the council.400ZG Staff(1) Despite any other provision of this Act, a joint organisation (including an executive officer) may only appoint staff if the joint organisation is not a national system employer for the purposes of the Fair Work Act 2009 of the Commonwealth.(2) This section does not apply to the appointment of an executive officer.400ZH Application of Act to joint organisations(1) Except as provided by subsection (3), this Act applies:(a) to a joint organisation in the same way as it applies to a council, and(b) to the representatives on the board of a joint organisation in the same way as it applies to the councillors of councils, and(c) to the executive officer of a joint organisation in the same way as it applies to the general manager of a council.(2) In the application of this Act to a joint organisation and to a representative on the board of a joint organisation:(a) a reference to the mayor of a council includes a reference to the chairperson of a joint organisation, and(b) a reference to mayoral office includes a reference to the office of the chairperson of a joint organisation, and(c) a reference to a councillor includes a reference to a voting representative on or a non-voting chairperson of the board of a joint organisation, and(d) a reference to the holding of civic office includes a reference to holding office as a voting representative on or a non-voting chairperson of the board of a joint organisation, and(e) a reference to the general manager of a council includes a reference to the executive officer of a joint organisation, and(f) a reference to the area of a council includes a reference to the joint organisation area of a joint organisation, and(g) a reference to a proclamation under Chapter 9 includes a reference to a proclamation under this Part.(3) The following provisions (the excluded provisions) of this Act do not apply to or in respect of a joint organisation:(a) Chapter 3,(b) Part 3 of Chapter 4,(c) Chapter 6 (other than Part 3),(d) Chapter 7,(e) Chapter 9,(f) Chapter 10,(g) sections 335 and 342,(h) sections 355, 365, 370, 371, 375A and 377–380 and Part 5 of Chapter 12,(i) Parts 2 and 4 of Chapter 13 and sections 438T, 438ZA and 438ZB,(j) Chapter 15 (other than Parts 10, 12 and 13 and section 620),(k) Division 4 of Part 2 of Chapter 17,(l) section 736 (2),(m) Schedules 1–5,(n) any other provisions prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this section.(4) Despite subsection (3), an excluded provision applies to or in respect of a joint organisation if:(a) the joint organisation is exercising a function of a council conferred on the joint organisation by or under this Act and the excluded provision is applicable to or in respect of the function, or(b) the regulations provide that the provision is not an excluded provision in relation to the specified joint organisation, a class of joint organisations (that includes that organisation) or all joint organisations, or(c) the provision applies expressly to a joint organisation or applies expressly or impliedly to all bodies constituted under this Act.(5) The regulations may:(a) modify the application of any provision of this Act that applies to or in respect of a council for the purpose of its application to a joint organisation, or(b) exclude a provision of this Act from applying to or in respect of a joint organisation.Note—The provisions applied to joint organisations by this section include provisions relating to codes of conduct and protection against personal liability (section 731).
