Victoria

No. 4 of 2006

Prahran Mechanics' Institute (Amendment) Act 2006^[†]

[Assented to 7 March 2006]

Preamble

The Prahran Mechanics' Institute Act 1899 provides for the incorporation of the Prahran Mechanics' Institution and Circulating Library and for the establishment of a governing committee.

The Act provides for the governing committee to have 9 members, including the Mayor of the City of Prahran and 4 persons elected by that municipal council.

On 21 June 1994, the Governor in Council, pursuant to Part 10C of the Local Government Act 1989, by Order abolished the Councils of the City of Prahran and the City of Malvern and established the Stonnington City Council.

The Order in Council appointed the Stonnington City Council as the successor in law to the Councils of the City of Prahran and the City of Malvern.

It is expedient to amend the Prahran Mechanics' Institute Act 1899 to refer to the Stonnington City Council, to reduce the membership of the governing committee and to reduce council representation on the governing committee.

The Parliament of Victoria therefore enacts as follows:

^[†]     Minister's second reading speech—

    Legislative Assembly: 27 October 2005

    Legislative Council: 9 February 2006

    The long title for the Bill for this Act was "to amend the Prahran Mechanics' Institute Act 1899 and for other purposes."
