From the time an instrument purporting to dissolve a local government is made until it is ratified under section 75 or its effect ends under section 76 , it has the effect only of suspending the local government’s councillors from office.
Note—Section 71 permits another Act to provide for the appointment of 1 or more bodies or persons to perform all or any functions and exercise all or any powers of the local government and to be taken to be the local government during the suspension.
