New South Wales Consolidated Acts

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY ACT 1995 - SECT 83

83 Distribution districts of distributors

(1) Each distributor listed in Schedule 3 has a distribution district comprising the local government areas, or parts of local government areas, described in that Schedule.

(1A) When network infrastructure assets that form part of the distribution system of a distributor are leased for the purposes of an authorised transaction under the Electricity Network Assets (Authorised Transactions) Act 2015 , a reference to the distributor in Schedule 3 is to be read (after completion of the authorised transaction) as a reference to the entity that operates that distribution system after completion.

(2) The boundaries of a distributor's distribution district are unaffected by any change in the boundaries of a local government area and, for that purpose, the boundaries of the local government area are taken to remain the same as they were when the reference to the local government area was included in Schedule 3.

(3) A reference in Schedule 3 to a part of a local government area is (if that part is not described in that Schedule) a reference to such part of the local government area as is described by the regulations for the purposes of that reference.
