Illustration for Local Government (Rating) Act 2002

The Governor-General can make an Order in Council to help with certain situations. You might need more time to complete something required by this Act, so the Governor-General can extend the time for you. The Governor-General can also validate something you did after the required time, or fix a problem with the way something was done.

The Governor-General can make a provision for a situation that this Act does not cover. If the Governor-General makes an order under this section, it is considered secondary legislation, which has its own publication requirements, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. This means the order will be made available to the public in a certain way.
