EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Clause Notes
Clause 1 sets out the purpose of the Bill which is to amend the City of
Melbourne Act 2001 to clarify the persons entitled to apply to be
enrolled on the voters' roll.
Clause 2 provides that the Bill comes into operation on the day after the
day the Bill receives Royal Assent.
Clause 3 inserts new section 9B(4) in the City of Melbourne Act 2001
which requires a person to have been an occupier of a rateable
property for at least one month immediately before the
entitlement date for an election at the City of Melbourne, in order
to be entitled to apply for enrolment on the voters' roll for that
Council as an occupier of the rateable property under section 9B
of that Act.
The entitlements of other occupiers, including residents on the
State roll of electors, are provided under other sections of the Act
and will not be altered by this amendment.
Clause 4 repeals the City of Melbourne Amendment (Enrolment) Act
2012 on the first anniversary of its commencement. The repeal
of this Act does not affect the continuing operation of the
amendments made by it (see section 15(1) of the Interpretation
of Legislation Act 1984).
