7 .         Amount local government to contribute to scheme to be reduced

        (1)         This regulation applies in respect of an employee of a local government if, for any period —

            (a)         there is a chosen fund for the employee throughout the period; and

            (b)         the chosen fund is not the industry scheme or the City of Perth scheme; and

            (c)         the local government makes at least the minimum superannuation guarantee contributions for the employee for that period to the chosen fund.

        (2)         If this regulation applies, the amount that the local government would, but for this regulation, be required under regulation 4 and the industry scheme trust deed to contribute to the industry scheme for that employee for that period is reduced by the amount of those minimum superannuation guarantee contributions made to the chosen fund for that employee.

        (3)         If this regulation applies, the amount that the City of Perth or a regional local government would, but for this regulation, be required under regulation 5 or  6, or the City of Perth Act 2016 section 23, and the City of Perth trust deed to contribute to the City of Perth scheme for that employee for that period is reduced by the amount of those minimum superannuation guarantee contributions made to the chosen fund for that employee.

        (4)         In this regulation a reference to a local government making a minimum superannuation guarantee contribution for an employee for a period is a reference to the local government making the contributions necessary for it to avoid incurring an individual superannuation guarantee shortfall in respect of the employee in respect of that period.
